Question

Can i rent car / drive in Germany with a US driver licence?

Answer 1

No. You need a international driving license.

Answer 2

You certainly may, and it will be less expensive to make the contract in the U.S..  Since the Euro is high, you will be at disadvantage to make the contract there.  Also, make sure you ask for either standard or automatic transmission, since most of the vehicles are standard.  Remember, indicate either gasoline or diesel.

While driving in the AutoBahn, be careful and obey all speed signs, because there will be no police or troopers.  However, they use cameras and will photograph you, and the rental place will charge the fine to your credit card, even after months of your trip.

Have fun.
