A rental car allows you to create your itinerary and explore the Black Forest according to your preferences. You can visit remote areas, scenic routes, and off-the-beaten-path attractions that may not be easily accessible by public transportation. Furthermore, having a car allows you to reach destinations that may not have convenient public transportation options, such as Triberg Waterfalls, Mummelsee, and Belchen Mountain.

Like the rest of Germany, Black Forest follows the standard driving convention where vehicles drive on the right-hand side of the road, and the driver's seat is on the left side of the car. This means that you will overtake other vehicles on the left. Speed limits are strictly enforced in Germany. On major highways (autobahns), certain stretches may have no speed limit. In urban areas, the speed limit is typically 31 mph, and on rural roads, it is often 62 mph. Always adhere to the posted speed limits to avoid fines.

You must be at least 18 before renting a car in the Black Forest region. However, the age requirement can vary depending on the specific car rental company and its policies. Some car rental companies may have a higher minimum age requirement, such as 21 or 25 years old, and may impose a young driver surcharge. Remember, you must have a valid driver's license from your home country. If your license is not in German or English, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required.
