Offenbach am Main is in the German state of Hesse, situated on the banks of the River Main. The city is often paired with Frankfurt due to their respective positions on either side of the river, but if you're planning to commute between the two, car hire in Offenbach am Main is essential.
Offenbach has close connections with the leather trade stemming from its influential past at the forefront of the leather industry. Now it has a blossoming modern economy with companies like Honda using the city as their European headquarters. Hiring a car in Offenbach am Main is easily done from the city centre branch, or in neighbouring Frankfurt's airports.
The Leather Museum pays homage to Offenbach's early trade heritage - a far call from the modern high rise buildings such as the City Tower which we see today. The Isenburg Palace and Busing Park are worthwhile distractions, but to get the best out of the area many tourists will be hiring a car in Offenbach am Main. This provides access to Frankfurt, which despite sharing a boundary is a significant journey via the B43.
Look down over Frankfurt and Offenbach from the top of Frankfurt's Main Tower, or head for the Roemer Square - a beautiful place to stroll and have a coffee. If you're here to visit Frankfurt FC's Commerzbank Arena, rent a car in Offenbach am Main and take the A3 west.
