lnbh Posted April 25, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Has anybody rented a car in this port? Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aagra Posted April 25, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2004 We were on Constellation last year and rented a car from Avis through the ship. Avis delivered it at the port in the morning and picked it up in the afternoon. The rental including insuranse was about $100 but very conveniant. We drove to Wismar and Scherwin. Scherwin Castle and old town were worth the visit. Also noticed that Hertz had a rental location at the port, but don't know anything about it.

Globaliser Posted April 25, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Some years ago now I arranged to rent a car from Avis in Warnemuende. When we got on board at the beginning of the cruise, we found that the port had been changed to Rostock. I dropped in to an Avis office in one of the earlier ports (Oslo or Stockholm, probably) to change that. It was no problem, and when we got to Rostock we found that they had been aware of the port change already. Avis came to pick us up at the ship's side and collected the car from us there at the end of the day. Very efficient. We drove to Berlin, and had a much better (and cheaper) time than the people who went on the ship's shorex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueMo Posted April 26, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I am renting a car from Sixt rather than Avis because they have minivans available for our group of 6 (Avis did not). Also, their office is closer to Warnemunde than Avis'. Cost is about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lnbh Posted May 10, 2004 Author #8 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I know about the train I just thought a car would be a quicker trip to Berlin (possibly cheaper)not to mention the flexibility. Does Sixt drop off the car at the pier as well? I really appreciate everyone's advice. This is such a helpful forum I don't know how anyone could cruise without it!

That way, you have a direct response to you in case they slip up and you need to complain later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueMo Posted May 10, 2004 #10 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I reserved a Mercedes Benz Vito at the daily rate of 45 euros, which includes 100 free km. Insurance is extra. I reserved it online at e-sixt.com. The US customer number is 1 888 749 8227 (toll free). The pick-up station is at Rostock, Lutten Klein, Trelleborger Strasse 9 (FAX+49-38180705112)I have not yet found out if they will send a van to pick us up, but on mapquest, it looks like a fairly short taxi ride to Trelleborger Strasse from the pier.

lnbh Posted May 22, 2004 Author #11 Share Posted May 22, 2004 I reserved a car with Avis but emailed and found that they will not deliver the car to the pier area. Guess they must have changed their policy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
