All-inclusive car rental in Berlin
An all-inclusive rental in Berlin includes full insurance with zero excess - best for day trips to Potsdam’s palaces, the Spreewald and the surrounding lakes, while the city runs on transit.
Berlin has superb public transport, so a car is most useful for escaping the city: the palaces and gardens of Potsdam, the canal-laced Spreewald and the lakes of Brandenburg are all within easy reach.
A Cardamar all-inclusive rental includes comprehensive zero-excess cover, unlimited mileage and free cancellation, with pick-up at Berlin Brandenburg Airport.

Day trips from Berlin
Potsdam, with the Sanssouci palace and park, is around 40 minutes from the centre. The Spreewald, a UNESCO biosphere of waterways southeast of the city, makes a relaxing day, and Brandenburg’s lakes are dotted within an hour’s drive.
Roads are good and the flat landscape makes for easy driving; zero-excess cover still removes the worry of city parking.
Practical tips
Central Berlin is an Umweltzone requiring an environmental sticker - rental cars normally carry one. Park and ride, then use the U-/S-Bahn for the centre.
The all-inclusive price already includes full insurance, unlimited mileage and airport fees.
