Practical Tips for Driving in Germany

Whether you are coming from France or Germany, a routine check of your vehicle is essential before hitting the road to avoid unpleasant surprises. This is part of our commitment to offering you a peaceful journey:

• **Check Levels:** Engine oil, coolant, etc.
• **Tire Pressure:** Ensure the pressure is correct, including the spare tire.
• **Lighting:** Verify that all your lights are working properly.
• **Environmental Sticker:** If your parking is located in a German city centre, you might need the *Umweltplakette* (green sticker). The airport itself is generally outside these zones.

Useful Information on Driving and Assistance

Fuel

Whether your car uses petrol, diesel, or LPG, service stations are numerous in Germany. Generally, prices are more favourable in urban areas than at motorway service stations. We recommend filling up in a town close to your starting point if possible.

Roadside Assistance

In the event of a technical issue or breakdown on the motorway, follow safety instructions: turn on your hazard lights, put on your mandatory safety vest, and pull over safely. Contact roadside assistance services (like ADAC in Germany) or use the emergency call boxes which geotag your location directly.
