Even in a highly walkable city such as Dusseldorf, there’s simply no substitute for the sheer convenience and freedom afforded by having access to your own car. A total of seven car rental agencies are located directly at the city’s main airport, with their offices in the Arrivals area and the parking garage a 5-minute walk away. To help you find the right car for your budget and needs, we’ve picked out two of those seven agencies that, according to our research, offer the best choice, value for money and customer reviews.
