Luxembourg Car Rentals

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg sits at the center of Europe and is great for getting a car rental and touring Europe’s various cultures. Influences came from the country neighbors in Germany, Belgium and France, so there is good wine, fine cuisine and a wealth of history to enjoy. Luxembourg has a small airport that connects to main European capitals, and also has direct high-speed rail links to Paris and Brussels. Car rental is available from the airport, a city depot or the rail station.

Highlights

Luxembourg has developed a reputation that relates to finance, so its no surprise that there is a museum devoted to money. That includes a section on the biggest bank robberies – the Musee de Banque is in the Plaz de Metz. Because French is one of the three languages spoken here, French Canadians will feel quite at home.

The Moselle River has some bearing on the excellent wines of the region and this sweet white is one that can be enjoyed on a wine tasting tour. On a culinary note, Luxembourg has the highest concentration of gourmet Michelin star restaurants in the world – and that includes the very best French gourmet food.

Exploring by car

The fact that Luxembourg is right in the middle of Europe means the car rental is of extra value. The European Union has more or less done away with border crossings, but the passport, rental agreement and drivers licenses should be kept handy in your car rental. The routes go into France, Germany and Belgium and these are along good and well-maintained highways.

European driving is much the same as it is in Canada so there are no extra difficulties to encounter, making the exploration of the country landmarks and scenery a relaxing experience.

Tourist Season and Weather

The high season across Europe is in July and August and this means there will be many visitors coming to Luxembourg, or driving through the country for the whole of that period. The Moselle provides a great riverside place for summer picnics and riverside walks. The winters are comparatively mild, so for sports activities such as biking this is a good time to come to Luxembourg. Like car rental, all types of bikes can be hired for the vacation.
