Hire a car in Heilbronn with Hertz
Heilbronn is a city in Germany, in northern Baden-Wurttemberg. It's ideal for a city break away for a few days as any visit brings so much to see and do. With churches and museums, monuments and places to eat, there really is something for everyone. Hiring a car in Heilbronn gives you the freedom to explore the city as if it was your own hometown. We have two branches conveniently located close to the city centre, one of which is at Heilbronn Main Railway Station, meaning you can fit in as much sight-seeing as you like conveniently and quickly.
Be sure to visit the South German Railway Museum in Heilbronn which is home to 20 restored locomotives from different eras. Spend a day at Aquatoll Water Park where the kids can cool off at Pirate World water playground, or brave the rapid glissades as they slide down the white water river. Hiring a car in Heilbronn means you can easily make your way to Stettenfels Castle which dates back to the 11th century. Discover all about the castle's history; watch one of the concerts or theatre events which are now held there, or if you are lucky you can see the annual medieval festival with jousting and jugglers.
