Hire a car in Ratingen with Hertz
Ratingen is situated at the heart of the illustrious state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The town provides an easy commute to Dusseldorf and can be easily seen as part of its neighbour's wider metropolitan area; although the two cities are very different in character, locals would be quick to point out that Ratingen is in fact older than Dusseldorf - a fact which is partly reflected in the town's wealth of castles and churches.
Car hire in Ratingen is good for those wanting to explore the parkland and countryside in this part of the Bergisches Land Region. You can hire a car in Ratingen from the town itself or throughout Dusseldorf and the North Rhine.
Schloss Linnep and the Church of St Peter and Paul are popular diversions in Ratingen, and evidence of the town's historic past. Ratingen is situated just off the A3, which connects renowned cities such as Cologne, Leverkusen, Bonn, Dusseldorf, Duisburg and Essen. Hiring a car in Ratingen is popular due to the town's centrality in such a prominent region, and also because Ratingen represents the green unspoilt side of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Most tourists choose Ratingen because it represents the best of both a city break and a rural retreat. Rent a car in Ratingen and be in Dusseldorf in less than 20 minutes, or simply enjoy a road trip through Ratingen's abundant countryside.
