Entry Requirements
U.S. citizens do not require a visa to enter Germany for visits of less than three months.
Language
German is the official language. Local dia-lects can be confusing, but virtually all
Germans speak 'Hochdeutsch' (standard German)
and respond happily to visitors who attempt to speak German.
English is widely spoken in major cities (like Frank-furt), especially in the former West Ger-many.
Electricity
230 V, 50 Hz. The Continental two-round-pin plug is standard.

Currency Exchange
Banks provide the most favourable rate of exchange, second to ATM withdrawals.
German banks are open from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm and then from 1:30 pm to 4 pm weekdays.
Most banks will have extended hours until 5:30 pm on Thursdays, but all are closed on Saturday and Sunday.
Money exchange bureaus, located at airports, border crossings and major railway stations, are generally open from 6 am to 10 pm.
Tipping
Hotels and restaurants automatically add a service charge of 10 to 12 percent, but excellent service may warrant an additional tip.
Customarily you may round up to the nearest denomination of Euro 5 or Euro 10.
Bartenders also expect a small tip in rec-ognition of their service. In smaller establishments where a service charge
is not pre-viously applied, 10% is acceptable. Taxi drivers customarily receive 10 percent of the fare.

DRIVING OVERVIEW
General Information
Germany was the first country in the world to develop a national system of superhighways, and for many years its Autobahn
system was a model for other nations. After the unification, Autobahns in the eastern part of the country were significantly upgraded
Today Germany has nearly 6,000mi/9,660km of Autobahns and an extremely well developed network of lesser highways
This makes driving a rental car in Germany exceptionally easy and pleasant, and the German network is interconnected with networks
in neighbour-ing countries. Germany is about 500mi/805km long (from north to south) and 400mi/644km wide in its longest dimensions
Requirements
You must be at least 21 years old (age may vary by car rental category) and have held your license for 1-3 years depending on the
rental car category reserved. Driv-ers aged 21-22 must purchase CDW. Drivers under the age of 25 may incur a young driver surcharge
Child safety seats are mandatory for children up to age 6. Seatbelts are mandatory
Speed Limits
Speed limits in Germany are as follows: City 31mph / 50kph, Open Roads 62mph / 100kph and on the highways 81mph / 130kph is recommended but most autobahns have no speed limit. Avoid the far left lane on the autobahn as speeds there can of-ten exceed 100mph/161kph
Tolls
There are no toll highways in Germany
