A one-way rental is whenever you pick up your rental car in one city and return it in another city (or location). In most cases, car rental companies charge an additional one-way fee to cover the return costs.

The car must arrive back at its original location after being returned and the fee is charged for this service.

The one-way fee varies depending on the country, rental company, route and rental duration. If you search for a specific route on billiger-mietwagen.de, for example: Hamburg – Munich, the price including the one-way charge will be displayed.
