Hiring a car in Leipzig gives you the chance to travel around the city as if it was your hometown. We have four branches conveniently situated around the city, with one of these being at Leipzig Airport and another at Leipzig Main Railway Station, so picking up your car could not be easier.

There's really something for everyone. Hire a car in Leipzig and go on a spending spree and visit the Paunsdorf Center shopping mall before stopping to sample some Leipziger Allerlei which is the local dish of seasonal vegetables and crayfish which is made into a stew.

Rent a car in Leipzig and take a trip to the Leipzig Botanical Garden which is the oldest in the country and one of the oldest in the world as it dates back to before 1542. At the gardens you will also find a butterfly house with many different species to discover.

Having access to a car means you can easily make your way to the Leipzig Museum of Fine Arts which is home to 3,500 paintings and around 1,000 sculptures of work which date from the late Middle Ages to the present day. One of the highlights of the sculpture collection is the Beethoven sculpture by Max Klinger. Although, if sport is more for you then visiting the Red Bull Arena is a must. As well as playing host to football matches, many music concerts are also held here.
