Hiring a car at Essen

Sitting in the heart of the Ruhr, Essen is a large sprawling city that attracts many visitors to its landmarks, architecture, museums, theatres and modern retail shopping areas. Like so many other industrialised areas of Europe, as heavy industry waned, Essen had to change with the times. Now, its economy is a mix of industry and corporate headquarters to many of Germany’s largest companies – so much so that Essen hosts over 50 trade fairs a year, attracting upwards of half a million business people from around the world.


To help this large influx of leisure and business visitors get around the city, Enterprise Rent-A-Car has an office conveniently located at Friedrichstrasse 25 / B224, Essen, NW, DE, 45128. Friedrichstrasse is easily reached on the Metro or tram system, and Enterprise’s helpful staff will have you on the way to your hotel or trade fair in a matter of minutes. Although there are over 1,600 km of streets in the city, connections to other areas of the Ruhr can be made using the A40, which runs through the city, the A42 to the north, and the A52, which heads south toward Dusseldorf.
