Car rental at Munich Airport
Munich Airport (MUC) ranks among Europe's busiest international gateways — and for travellers arriving from the UAE, it is the perfect base for exploring Bavaria and beyond. Pick up a rental car from SIXT on arrival and set your own pace: drive through the Alps, visit historic castles, or head straight into the city centre without depending on public transport schedules. The fleet covers everything from spacious family minivans and all-wheel drive SUVs to premium luxury cars and electric vehicles.
The SIXT branch at Munich Airport is located in the dedicated car rental centre, clearly signposted from both terminals. It sits close to Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, with easy access from the S-Bahn exit — so you can be on the road within minutes of landing.
Book with confidence: SIXT offers free cancellation, pay-at-pick-up options, and over 100 years of rental experience backed by a fleet of vehicles from world-leading brands.

Travel with confidence from Munich Airport (MUC)
From the moment you book to the day you return the keys, SIXT supports you at every stage of your rental.
Before pick-up
SIXT App: Manage your booking, select your vehicle, and handle the paperwork before you land. The app is available for iOS and Android.
Documents: Bring your valid driver's licence and all required documents to the pick-up counter. Your UAE driving licence is accepted for car rental in Germany, as it contains information in both Arabic and English. No International Driving Permit (IDP) is required.
Minimum age: Drivers must be at least 18 years old to rent a car in Munich. Some vehicle categories carry a higher minimum age requirement.
During the rental
Watch out for cyclists: Munich has a well-established cycling culture. Cyclists have right of way when you turn right, and you must keep a minimum distance of 1.5 metres when overtaking — stay alert, particularly in the city centre.
Traffic: Peak-hour congestion is common on the Mittlerer Ring and the main approach roads into the city. If your schedule allows, avoid these routes during morning and evening rush hours for a smoother drive.
At return
Refuelling: Opt for the SIXT refuelling service and return the car without the added stress of finding a petrol station near the airport.
Flexibility: The Munich Airport drop-off location accepts returns at any time, including outside regular business hours.
Please return your vehicle to: Terminalstraße Mitte, 85356 München.
