Hire a car in Mannheim with Hertz
Mannheim is a city in the south west of Germany in the region known as Baden-Württemberg. The city is a modern commercial hub and a vital juncture at the heart of Europe. Mannheim contains a first class concert and sports venue, award- winning parkland, and strikingly modern architecture, alongside a history of innovation - names like Karl Benz being former inhabitants. For those who hire a car in Mannheim, Heidelberg is less than 2km away and the French border is less than an hour due south. Hiring a car in Mannheim is available from pickup points at both Kallstadter Strasse and Voelklinger Strasse.
Mannheim, the home of the first ever car journey, is a vehicle friendly city. Major attractions such as the Technoseum have plenty of free parking and if you plan on hiring a car in Mannheim you might well take a trip to Heidleberg, which is less than a 20minute drive on the A656. Ludwigshafen is right across the river on the B37 and home to the famous Rhein Galerie shopping centre. Park and ride places are abundant around the mall. The Luisenpark makes for a beautiful break from the bustling city centre and must be one of the finest inner city parks in Germany. Those who rent a car in Mannheim may also wish to take the handy A6 to Schwetzingen, for the wonderful castle and countryside.
Mannheim is filled with wonderful historical architecture and buildings, none less so than picturesque Schloss Mannheim Castle. The SAP Arena attracts thousands of visitors each year as a concert and sports venue; the Planetarium is a perfect family day out; and the Rosengarten Mannheim is a city centre park which doubles as a wonderful site for an occasional show. The Baden-Wurttemberg region is home to the Black Forest which makes for an astounding daytrip down the A5, and the French border is less than an hour south on the A65. Few parts of Europe attract as many visitors, both commercial and tourist as Baden-Wurttemberg.
