A city of broad avenues lined by upmarket boutiques, it is the worthy capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, the country's largest state. Dusseldorf's location on the Rhine gives rise to numerous leisure opportunities for visitors and residents alike, with miles and miles of wonderful riverside walkways at their disposal. Head for Königsallee (King's Avenue) for a true taste of the city's elegance where you can enjoy stylish shopping arcades and dine out in the some best restaurants in town. The Rhine Embankment Promenade (Rheinuferpromenade) is another of Dusseldorf's most popular areas for a casual stroll, especially in the evening. The city's well-preserved Old Town (Altstadt) is a major tourist centre with many important attractions to explore, most notably the SchiffahrtsMuseum (one of Germany's best maritime museums) and the Hetjens-Museum displaying more than 800 years of porcelain, ceramics and other types of rare earthenware. Dusseldorf is also a mecca for art lovers with over a hundred galleries scattered across the city showcasing the very best examples of local and international talent.

" The only negative comment would be that the fuel gauge malfunctioned. It showed 3/4 full on collection but I was not informed of this fact. Thankfully I had photographic evidence to support this on return along with a fuel receipt which showed how little I put in to fill the tank but the needle still showed 3/4 full. Otherwise, a good company and I have previously experienced. "

" Good and well organised, with a tidy car. I was initially concerned to find the car had no spare wheel, but later learned this is normal in many new models. I feel safer with a normal spare, though. "

" Ok except didn't like driving the Smart Car on the motorways. "
" Experience was good. "
" I didn't receive the type of car booked. Instead of VW Passat or similar, I got Skoda Rapide, very basic and required service. Rental experience at the counter though long, was fair but not brilliant. "
" Very good service, will use again "
" Very good service all round "
" All good as usual "
" All ok "
" I like the fact that I can chose the car hire company as well as the type of car I want. "
" Enterprise employees at Dusseldorf are A-STAR. from booking in to receiving your car keys you are looked after. I like the fact that they show you the car, check everything with you, assure you are happy with all the controls and then wish you a good journey. The same on the return. Friendly, efficient and wanting to please. Excellent service! "
" easy to understand website, easy payment methods. Got the car I expected and happy with everything from Auto Europe. Excellent price for the car I had, very, very happy. "
" Well located in the airport, quickly had the keys to my car for the week. The car was parked in a parking garage just 500m from the terminal. On return, the process was quick - dropped the car back at the same parking garage and was inspected within a few minutes of my arrival. Good service all round. "
" Offers a great comparison of various deal options. Good overview! Very useful! Got exactly what I wanted at a very affordable price! "
" All agents have been very friendly and courteous. Got an upgrade. And then when that particular car had not left the car wash yet I was given another car! Great service! Did not have to wait around. "
" Always Efficient "
" Very pleasant, informative and efficient "
" It was easy to book online, the amount to me at that stage was acceptable. "
" Arriving in Duesseldorf it was quick to get the car. The best was a drop off where all rental companies had clubbed together in a central station where you could drop your car, it got checked there and then and you could leave in the knowledge that everything was ok. "
" the car was difficult to find in the Dusseldorf airport car park, directions not very clear. "
" as above "
" Easy to use and very clear information. "
" Easy pick-up and drop-off. "
" Excellent service, which unfoubtedly I shall use again.Just one thing - I think you should make it clear, that Thrifty insist upon the presentation of a credit card. I only use a Visa debit card. There was an additional charge of approximately £120.00 pounds at the Dusseldorf airport drsk of Thrifty. Although stated in the fine print, this teally should have been more prominently displayed. "
" Very good save as set out above "
" very easy to deal with,simple booking process "
" Car was just as described,helpfull staff at collection point,drop off was also easy and did not delay our onward journey "
" Easy booking and very competitive pricing "
" Very quick and efficient process, no language issues, and car was clean and suitable "
" More information about where at the airport the providers are and about the car hire car park would be benficial. "
" Very helpful and quick. I liked the fact that someone from Enterprise was at the car park to explain the car. Things like how to open the tank cap etc. I didn't like the fact that it was on the 7th floor of the car park as the layout and exit ramp are atrocious. But that is not Enterprise's fault. :-) "
" Efficient service with wide range of cars available. Easy to navigate website. "
" Courteous staff who spoke very good English. Car provided was excellent. "
" Internet was easy to use and documentation came through in plenty of time. "
" Service was prompt and courteous "
" Used AE several times before. Wouldn't bother with anyone else now. Cheapest web offers make public transport look unattractive, in Germany at least. "
" Very helpful reception at Budget. Voucher worked without any sense of being a discount- rather than a premium in-house Avis contract. "
" I contacted the desk by email as I was on my way to my destination and had forgotten to print out my voucher. Helpfully, the customer desk faxed over my voucher to Budget/Avis and I had no problem collecting my car from the rental company. "
" I was given a good car, slightly better than what I had booked. The rental desk and collection and return points for the car were all easy to find. As was the nearby petrol station to fill up the car before returning it. No long queues or difficult procedures. "
" easy to book, i needed a small car and a good price this was the best deal and a well equipped car, with cruise control, AC and heated seatsdefinitely use again "
" car was great, and the price was the best i could get, service was easy there was damage to the car which we made a note of and went back to the desk in the airport , the computer had crashed and so it could not be checked. when i returned the car we had a small problem as the information was not loaded onto the system, however after a short explanation the firm taking the cars back allowed it back with no charge, well done to them for being customer friendly and proffessional will use you again thanks "
