Hire a car in Augsburg with Hertz
Located a few miles northwest from Munich, in the state of Bavaria you'll find the city of Augsburg. Just a few miles from the Austrian border and served by a major German airport, car hire in Augsburg is a convenient and affordable option that will allow visitors to get the full Bavarian experience. Hire a car in Augsburg and there are no limits to your sight-seeing options; from the children's puppet shows at the Augsburger Puppenkiste to the unique range of tourist souvenirs available at the Rathausplatz, seeing the city by car is a great way to get around.
Although Augsburg is not an extremely large city, the premier tourist attractions and cultural landmarks are all rather spread around, which makes car hire in Augsburg an exceedingly convenient prospect. Fans of classic dramatist Beltolt Brecht would enjoy a trip to see the house where he was born just off Barfüßerstraße. The Schaezlerpalais is a must for any discerning fan of the arts; it's the home of the German Baroque Gallery and attracts 135,000 visitors per year. Hiring a car and taking a trip to Augsburg Zoo is another destination we'd definitely recommend thanks to its wide range of creatures, critters and fascinating wildlife.
Due to its convenient location near Munich, as well as that city's major international airport, anyone looking to experience Bavarian culture would really enjoy a visit further afield. Munich is only an hour away on Bundesautobahn 8, meaning a convenient and quick journey by car. For a taste of alpine life in a neighbouring country we'd also recommend a trip to Austria - the border is just a couple of hours away on B17, and the delightful tourist-friendly city of Innsbruck awaits you just inside!
