Further important information on returning rental cars at Frankfurt Airport

  • It’s possible to return cars from all rental companies at either terminal; except for Buchbinder cars - they can only be returned in Terminal 2 - and cars booked by Dollar and Thrifty - they can be returned or picked up at the Hertz counter in Terminal 2.  
  • Please don’t forget the documents that you received when renting the vehicle.
  • Depending on where your flight leaves from, it may be necessary to go to the other terminal instead of the one where you obtained the vehicle. Both terminals therefore have car return lots for your convenience.
  • There are two fueling stations near the airport that you can use to fill the car’s tank before returning it.
  • If you want to check a rental vehicle’s condition together with an agency representative when returning it, please be at the airport earlier so there will enough time.
