Munich Airport (MUC), also known as Franz Josef Strauß Airport, is Germany's second-busiest hub and Bavaria's main gateway. Many travelers begin exploring the region from here. To avoid relying on public transport and reach your destination comfortably, renting a car at Munich Airport is the ideal solution for business trips, family vacations, and tourist adventures.

At Getmancar, we offer a modern, flexible approach: car delivery directly to the terminal without visiting a rental counter. All paperwork is completed online in advance, and upon arrival, our representative meets you with the contract and hands over your rental car.

Why Rent a Car Directly at Munich Airport

Picking up a rental car at MUC saves time and hassle. There's no need to travel downtown, hunt for offices, wait for taxis, or struggle with luggage. Your vehicle is ready at Munich Airport Center (MAC) between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, or at the parking area, fueled and ready to go. When you book online, all documentation is handled beforehand—you simply collect the keys and drive off.

Our service accommodates everything from one-day car rental at Munich Airport to weekly, monthly, or longer-term arrangements. A one-day rental works well for business visits and quick trips, while weekly or monthly options are popular among tourists, especially for exploring Bavaria and neighboring countries like Austria and Italy.

No matter when you land – morning, evening, or late night – you can arrange 24/7 vehicle delivery. Munich Airport car rental is available with unlimited mileage, without a credit card requirement, no deposit, and full insurance (Vollkasko).

How to Rent a Car at Munich Airport

At MUC, the rental process with Getmancar starts with online booking, where you provide your flight number, arrival terminal (1 or 2), and preferred pickup time. Our manager coordinates a convenient meeting point in advance – either the handover zone at Munich Airport Center (MAC) between terminals or a nearby parking spot, so you can collect the keys right after customs without extra walking.

Upon arrival, a representative greets you with a sign, checks your documents (passport and driver's license – note that you must be at least 21 years old with a minimum of 2 years driving experience), conducts a quick vehicle inspection, and hands over the car fully fueled and road-ready.

The Process in 3 Steps

  1. Select your parameters and model. Enter your dates, choose MUC as the pickup/return location, and select a vehicle class (from compact to minivan) – the system displays available options with prices.
  2. Confirm your rate and payment. Add insurance (basic or full Vollkasko), choose online payment or pay on-site with a debit card, and request extras like child seats or GPS.
  3. Pick up your car on-site. At the airport, a brief meeting (5-10 minutes) covers the contract, keys, and quick briefing.

⚠️ Important details:

Terminal delivery costs a flat fee (around €30) and operates 24/7, including overnight flights. For returns, head to parking P26 following "Mietwagen Rückgabe" signs: drop keys in the box or hand them to a representative, then proceed calmly to check-in.

Returning Your Car and Parking

Return your rental vehicle at the designated parking facility – Parkhaus P26 (Mietwagen Rückgabe). Follow "Mietwagen Rückgabe" signs throughout the airport grounds. At night, you can drop off the car using a dedicated key box—perfect for early departures.

You can also return the vehicle in another German city, such as Berlin or Frankfurt. Simply specify the return city when booking.

Car Rental Near Munich Airport

Some travelers consider renting not at the terminal itself but in nearby areas like Freising or around Erding. Yes, these locations sometimes offer rates 5–10% cheaper. However, the actual savings often disappear due to inconvenience:

  • Getting to the office requires a taxi or public transport
  • Extra time spent traveling
  • Limited operating hours

Renting at Munich Airport itself (including the Munich Airport Center between terminals) lets you get behind the wheel immediately after landing—maximally convenient and fast.

Vehicle Selection

Getmancar's Munich fleet includes vehicles across multiple categories: from city models for downtown errands to spacious options for exploring Bavaria and neighboring countries. You might choose a compact Spark or Ford Focus for economical city driving, a VW Passat or Skoda Octavia for comfortable highway journeys, a minivan like the Renault Master for families or groups, or premium models such as the BMW 520d or Mercedes E-Class for business trips and upscale hotel transfers.

All vehicles undergo regular maintenance, come equipped with the mandatory Umweltplakette environmental badge for Munich city center access, and can be fitted with child seats, navigation, and other extras upon request. Most rates include 250 km per day.

⚠️ Keep in mind: when selecting a vehicle class, consider your trip type. For city use and short distances, a compact works well, but for Alpine routes and autobahn driving – especially in winter – a more powerful, stable model is safer and more comfortable. Before booking, verify that bulky items (skis or snowboards) will fit without compromising passenger comfort.

Routes from Munich Airport by Car

Munich Airport sits roughly 30-40 minutes from the city center, with convenient access to the A92 and A9 autobahns. Here are several popular destinations for rental car trips:

DestinationDistanceTravel TimeHighlights
Munich City Center~38 km30–40 minHistoric center, museums, Marienplatz
Salzburg, Austria150 km~1 h 45 minMozart's city, scenic Alps
Neuschwanstein Castle128 km~2 hBavarian landmark
Innsbruck, Austria160 km~2 h 15 minSki resorts and old town
Romantic Road~350 km4–5 hRoute through Augsburg, Rothenburg, Dinkelsbühl

These routes are especially popular with tourists and work beautifully for 1-3 day trips. All these destinations are perfectly suited for travelers who rent a car at the airport.

Useful Tips for Travelers

Munich is a major tourist and business hub where demand for cars at MUC spikes during peak seasons (Oktoberfest, Christmas, summer). Booking 2-3 weeks ahead guarantees your preferred model, locks in pricing, and ensures terminal delivery exactly when you need it.

Here are key recommendations for a smooth rental experience:

  1. Book your car in advance (2-3 weeks recommended) to secure your preferred model, fixed pricing, guaranteed delivery, and early booking discounts
  2. Choose a rate with full insurance and no deductible if you want maximum protection
  3. Notify us about plans to cross into Austria or Italy beforehand. Vehicles must carry cross-border insurance, and you'll need to purchase a vignette (road toll sticker)
  4. Factor in A92/A9 traffic during rush hours—departing MUC early morning or evening avoids congestion

These steps minimize risks and make your journey comfortable.

With Getmancar, you're behind the wheel immediately after landing, bypassing queues and public transport — ideal for exploring Bavaria, the Alps, or the Romantic Road.

If you don't need a car right after landing, consider an alternative plan: take public transport or a transfer to the city center, then arrange car rental in Munich for the specific days you need it. This option suits travelers who want to explore Munich on foot first and use the car only for countryside excursions.

FAQ

How does car pickup work at Munich Airport?

The vehicle is delivered directly to the arrivals terminal. You receive the rental agreement online in advance, and upon arrival, a representative meets you and hands over the keys.

How much does car rental at Munich Airport cost?

Prices start from €55 per day with early booking. The longer the rental period, the better the rate (for example, one week = 6 paid days).

Is car rental available at Terminal 2 of Munich Airport (MUC)?

Yes. While the main rental desks are located in the MAC (between T1 and T2), vehicle delivery is also available directly at the exit of Terminal 2.

Is car rental at Munich Airport available without a deposit?

Yes, it is possible when choosing full insurance coverage (Vollkasko ohne Selbstbeteiligung). In this case, the deposit is reduced to zero or remains minimal.

Is there a mileage limit?

Yes. Standard rates include 250 km per day. Any mileage beyond this limit is charged per kilometer according to the applicable rate.

Can I drive the rental car to Austria or Italy?

Yes, travel to neighboring EU countries is allowed, but it is important to inform us in advance when booking so that the appropriate cross-border insurance can be arranged. For driving on Austrian highways, a vignette is required (cost around €10). It can be purchased at the border or at gas stations.

How much more expensive is car rental at Munich Airport compared to the city?

When the vehicle is delivered directly to the airport, a fixed delivery fee of €30 is added. However, you save time traveling to a city office and avoid taxi or transfer costs. Considering that the car is waiting for you right at the terminal and you can start your route immediately, airport rental often turns out to be more convenient and cost-effective than traveling to the city to pick up the car separately.

Where is the car return parking located?

By train (S-Bahn) — about 45 minutes, by bus — around 50 minutes, by taxi — up to €80. By rental car — 35–40 minutes via a direct autobahn, with no transfers or waiting.

Do I need a car if I am staying only in Munich?

If you are planning trips around Bavaria or to the mountains — definitely yes. Within the city center, public transportation may be sufficient, but for countryside routes, a rental car offers freedom and comfort.

Is car rental available in areas near the airport (for example, Freising)?

Yes, vehicle delivery to nearby areas is available. However, if you are arriving at MUC, it is faster and more convenient to pick up the car directly at the terminal.
