Further Useful Information for Your Trip
Before you begin your journey, we strongly advise you to check your car for technical defects. In particular, check the oil and coolant levels, the lights, and the tires (including the spare tire) to avoid delays and unnecessary stress, allowing you to check in stress-free.
Fuel
You can easily fill up with all common fuels (petrol, diesel, gas) in Germany. A tip for saving money: petrol stations away from the motorway in villages or small towns are often cheaper. However, Gas (LPG) is less readily available at all rural stations; plan for this on longer routes.

Breakdown Assistance: How to Act Correctly
Should you unfortunately break down on the way, remain calm. Secure your vehicle and put on the safety vest. For breakdown assistance, you can contact automobile clubs such as ADAC, ACE, or BAVC. Please note that prices may vary for club members and non-members.
Maximum and Recommended Speed
On many German motorways, unless otherwise indicated by signs, a **recommended speed (Richtgeschwindigkeit) of 130 km/h** applies. The recommended speed is a guideline that you are allowed to exceed in good traffic conditions, though the principle of consideration must always be observed.
On federal highways (Bundesstraßen), the maximum speed is 100 km/h, and within built-up areas, a maximum speed of 50 km/h is permitted (unless otherwise signposted).
