Why is it useful to rent a car in German-speaking countries?
Public transportation is fantastic in German-speaking countries, but there's a lot of amazing places that it just can't reach. If you're looking to explore less populated regions with beautiful landscapes, such as the Black Forest or the Alps, then you'll definitely need a car. Renting one will open up whole new worlds to explore!
