CROSSRENT c/o Häusler Automobil GmbH & Co. KGOtto-Lilienthal-Ring 34, 85622 FeldkirchenView map
Hiring a campervan in Feldkirchen means setting off from Munich's neighbouring town, east of the city, just behind the Munich trade fair centre in Riem. This is Feldkirchen in the district of Munich, not to be confused with Feldkirchen-Westerham, further south, or with its Austrian namesake in Carinthia. Our partner company CrossRent hands over its vehicles at a car dealership on the Otto-Lilienthal-Ring.
No need to cross the city centre: the A94 heads for the Inn valley and the A99 skirts the city to the A8 towards Salzburg. The Tegernsee, the Schliersee, the Chiemsee and the Berchtesgaden Alps can be reached without wasting time in Munich's traffic jams.

Weather and seasons
When to go à Feldkirchen?
Best time
April to June, September and October
April to June, September to October
highs 14 to 23 °C, lows 4 to 13 °C
The most pleasant seasons for exploring around Feldkirchen: meadows in bloom and still snowy peaks in spring, colourful forests and golden light in autumn. May and June can be rainy at the foot of the Alps; in October, the lakes are quiet again and the Königssee boats are still running.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 24 °C, lows 14 to 15 °C
Days are hot and long, but these are also very wet months, with frequent afternoon thunderstorms near the Alps. The Bavarian school holidays, which start in late July or early August, clog the A8 towards Salzburg and the lakeside campsites: book ahead and set off early in the morning.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 4 to 10 °C, lows -3 to 1 °C
Nights are often frosty and snow falls readily as you approach the Alps. A heated motorhome still lets you combine the Christmas markets of Munich or Salzburg with ski areas such as the Sudelfeld; check the vehicle's winter equipment and which campsites are open.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Bypass Munich on the A99
Feldkirchen is served by the A94, which crosses the A99 motorway ring just to the east. For the Chiemsee, Berchtesgaden or Austria, follow the A99 south to the A8 towards Salzburg; for Wasserburg, Altötting and Passau, stay on the A94. This way you avoid the Mittlerer Ring and the traffic lights of Munich's eastern districts.
Trade fairs and Oktoberfest
The Munich trade fair centre, next to Feldkirchen in Riem, hosts major international fairs that fill hotels, car parks and A94 exits for several days. In late September and early October, the Oktoberfest also fills Munich's campsites. Check the trade fair calendar before choosing your pick-up time, and allow extra time for the return.
Arriving by S-Bahn
Feldkirchen has its own station on Munich's S2 S-Bahn line, with direct trains from the main station and the Ostbahnhof. From Munich Airport, allow for one change, or a taxi ride of about half an hour. Tell CrossRent your arrival time to arrange the meeting, and keep the depot's exact address to hand.
Lakes and national park: overnight stays regulated
The shores of the Tegernsee, the Schliersee and the Chiemsee have many car parks where motorhomes are banned at night, and Berchtesgaden National Park allows no wild camping at all. Elsewhere in Bavaria, sleeping one night in a public car park is generally accepted unless a sign says otherwise. Check local rules and book campsites or motorhome areas in summer.
Steep climbs at Spitzing and Rossfeld
The climb to the Spitzingsee and the toll Rossfeld panoramic road above Berchtesgaden combine steep gradients and tight bends. Large motorhomes feel cramped there; a campervan gets through more easily. On the way down, use engine braking rather than the pedal, and watch out for cyclists, numerous at weekends.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip à Feldkirchen
Where can I pick up a campervan in Feldkirchen?
Our partner company CrossRent hands over its vehicles in Feldkirchen, on the Otto-Lilienthal-Ring, at the Häusler Automobil dealership. The town borders eastern Munich, near the trade fair centre in Riem. Your booking confirmation gives the address and how the handover works: read it again before setting off.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Feldkirchen?
There is no fixed rate: the amount varies with the period, the number of nights and the model, with a clear gap between high summer, the Bavarian holidays and the shoulder season. A search with your exact dates shows CrossRent's real prices, mandatory fees included and bookable straight away, to compare with departures from Munich.
Which Feldkirchen is this?
The depot is in Feldkirchen in the district of Munich, postcode 85622, immediately east of the Bavarian capital. Several towns share the name: Feldkirchen-Westerham, between Munich and Rosenheim, Feldkirchen near Straubing, in Lower Bavaria, or Feldkirchen in Carinthia, Austria. Check the pick-up address before planning your journey.
Can I do a one-way trip from Feldkirchen?
The nearest return points are Munich, where several partner companies have depots, and Fraunberg, near the airport. You can also aim for Regensburg, on the Danube, or Salzburg, at the end of the Alpine road. Choose the drop-off city when you search: the displayed price then includes any return fees, with no surprises at the counter.
Can I drive to Austria from Feldkirchen?
Kufstein and the Tyrol are about an hour's drive away, Salzburg a little more. Border-crossing conditions depend on the rental company: check the list of countries covered by the insurance in the offer. On Austrian motorways, a vignette is compulsory for vehicles of up to 3.5 tonnes; buy it online before the border.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Feldkirchen
What licence do I need for a motorhome hired near Munich?
A category B licence covers vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes gross weight, which means almost all rental campervans and motorhomes. Drivers holding a non-European foreign licence are well advised to bring an international driving permit or a recognised translation. The minimum age and years of driving required vary by offer: read them before booking.
Are motorways tolled in Germany?
No, not for a motorhome of up to 3.5 tonnes: the A94, the A99 and the A8 towards Salzburg are free, with no vignette or barrier, as the German toll only applies to heavy goods vehicles. Only a few private or panoramic mountain roads charge a fee, paid on the spot at the entrance.
Do I need winter tyres when leaving from Feldkirchen?
In Germany, winter equipment becomes compulsory depending on road conditions: snow, ice, slush or frost, whatever the date. From November to March, and for any climb towards the Spitzingsee or Berchtesgaden, check with the rental company that the vehicle has winter tyres and whether snow chains are on board. In Austria, check the rules in force.
Where can I stay overnight in a motorhome around Feldkirchen?
Munich has several campsites, handy the night before returning the vehicle or for visiting the city by S-Bahn. Around the lakes of Upper Bavaria, the campsites of the Chiemsee and the Schliersee fill up quickly in summer. The motorhome areas of the small towns in the Inn valley are a simple option for a one-night stop.
What is there to see in Munich before setting off?
Feldkirchen has no major monuments, but Munich is just a few S-Bahn stops away. Marienplatz, the Residenz, the English Garden and the beer halls of the centre are worth a day, on foot and by public transport, leaving the motorhome in Feldkirchen. Close to the depot, Riem Park even has a bathing lake.
When should I book a campervan in Feldkirchen?
For July, August and the Oktoberfest weeks, it is best to book several months ahead: only one rental company operates in the town, and its vehicles go quickly. In May, June or September, a few weeks' notice often leaves a good choice. If nothing is available, compare with Fraunberg or the depots in Munich.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Feldkirchen
Feldkirchen offers a Munich departure without the constraints of the city: the depot is on the eastern edge of the metropolis, connected directly to the A94 and the A99 ring. Within an hour you are on the shore of the Tegernsee or facing the islands of the Chiemsee; in less than two, at the foot of the Watzmann in Berchtesgaden. It is eastern Upper Bavaria, the land of lakes, the Inn valley and the Salzburg border, that is easiest to explore from here.
CrossRent, our partner company on site, hands over its vehicles here. If its dates do not suit you, Fraunberg, near the airport, and Munich, two other departure points of our partners, are a short distance away. The climate, pleasant from April to October, suits long spring stages as well as autumn getaways, before the first snow.
