Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Forchheim car hire policy, whether you book with Keddy By Europcar or any other supplier. Some companies might not include it in the base price and instead sell it separately.

Spend some time getting acquainted with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and blinkers, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Germany.
