Hire a car in Pforzheim with Hertz

Located near the Black Forest and a host of major German cities, car hire in Pforzheim is a convenient choice for local travel. The city has a proud history of craft trades such as watchmaking, to which the jewellery museums pay homage (hence its nickname 'City of Gold'). Pforzheim is steeped in history and the castle/church of St Michael is an honoured symbol. Pforzheim's position at the centre of Baden-Württemberg makes it popular with tourists, as well as the fact that it's situated next to one of Europe's most important economic crossroads - France is just 3 minutes away by car. Hiring a car in Pforzheim can be done in the city itself as well as the surrounding airports.

Pforzheim is a blend of the old and the new, partly due to extensive war damage, but picturesque buildings such as St Michaels castle/church remain an attractive feature. Many visitors to Pforzheim come to see its museums but an equal number use the city as a base to explore the Black Forest; hiring a car in Pforzheim is popular for this reason. Rent a car in Pforzheim and drive south into the heart of the Black Forest on the B294; head east to Stuttgart (Mercedes Benz Museum, Palace Square), or west to Karlsruhe on the convenient A8. Alternatively, Strasbourg is little more than an hour away on the A5.
