Pirmasens Guide

Guide

Pirmasens is situated in the Rhineland-Palatinate region in eastern Germany, close to the French border. With a population of approximately 50,000 people, Pirmasens is a very imaginatively rebuilt city and it was, at one point in time, the centre of the German shoe industry. It also acts as the urban hub of south-western region of Palatinate.

Explore Pirmasens

The city was established by Count Ludwig IX who selected this region for his residential purposes and a military garrison. Ludwig was a very strict ruler in his time, and used to march his troops frequently on the parade ground. He was seen as one of the most enlightened rulers and is remembered fondly by the public.

Visit the incredible Shoe Museum in the Old Town Hall in the center of Pirmasens. The shoe industry indirectly owes its allegiance to Ludwig. When he died, his army was disbanded, and the soldiers turned to making shoes using the leather parts of their uniform. In a desperate attempt to make money, these shoes were then sold by their wives to the public. This was the beginning of world famous brand names such as Schlabbe. Remnants of Pirmasens' magnificent shoe industry can be seen even today.

By opting for car hire travellers can travel just over 60kms west of Pirmasens to the beautiful city of Saarbruecken, where tourists can visit the Saarbruecken Castle (pictured above), and many more great attractions.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Carrentals.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

 Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

 What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

 How can I change or cancel my reservation?
