Hertz at Bochum Main Train Station
Located in the Ruhr region of North Rhine-Westphalia, is the German city of Bochum, with Dortmund and Essen in close proximity. Bochum was once a major producer of steel, and is now an artistic town with a large student population, likely attracted by the music cafés and modern restaurants which can be found here.
Car hire from Bochum is fantastic for sightseeing – the city has a mixture of modern and medieval monuments, including a moated castle. The Ruhr area is known as a cultural centre, and is also popular with runners and cyclists due to the abundance of green space around the city.
Bochum is a modern city with a lot of attractions, but if you want to see more of what Germany has to offer in this area, then car hire from Bochum makes getting across to Dortmund quick and easy. The journey only takes ten minutes, and once there, you'll find a vibrant city with great restaurants, a zoo and lots of historical landmarks such as the U-Tower.
As an alternative, rent a car from Bochum and discover the Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis. This green space lies between five cities: Wuppertal, Essen, Bochum, Dortmund and Hagen. It's a beautiful area, perfect for cycling, walking and horse riding, and is only twenty minutes out of Bochum by car.
