Penalties for traffic rules violations while driving hired cars in Berlin

If you have violated any traffic regulation in Berlin, please mind that your refusal to pay the penalty in place can lead to more deplorable consequences — after the police applies to the court, you will be charged dramatically higher sum than it has been stated initially. S0, it is recommended to keep all the traffic rules. Here is the list of penalty figures intended for payment in case of traffic violation:

In short, if you are going to rent a car in Berlin, you would better to keep the local traffic regulations. This will allow you not to spoil the vacation impressions.

Parking

If you have decided to park your car in the place unappropriated for this, you are most likely to receive a penalty for such violation. For example, by an «unappropriated place» could be called a parking against the traffic direction, or a parking zone intended for local residents. Still, the law-abiding Berliners will be rather displeased if you exceed the prepaid parking timescales. In order to control such «rebels» there are used special automated control devices, which record the parking zone entrance and exit areas. Here are the fine amounts necessary for payment in case of an untimely parking lot leaving:

  • Under 30 minutes — € 10;
  • One hour — € 15;
  • Two hours — € 20;
  • Three hours — € 25;
  • More than three hours — € 30.

At some fuel filling stations it is proposed to purchase a parking disc, which enables to leave your car at the parking zones no equipped with the automated control systems. Such disc should be fixed and visible behind the car windscreen, while it has an indication of the parking start time.

Admissible blood alcohol level for a motorist driving a rented car in Berlin

Of course, it is hoped that when a car is rented, and especially in such a law-abiding city as Berlin is, no one will take alcohol while being at the wheel. Still, being after all seduced by the famous German beer, you are to remember that the blood alcohol level should not exceed 0,3‰. At the same time, if you have not committed any infringement and the alcohol tester shows 0,5‰, but not higher, you are most likely to get away with this, even if you are not a local resident, but just a client of a car rental service in Berlin.

Alcohol level exceeding:

  • Higher than 0,5‰, but lower than 1,1‰ is punished by a fine of € 500. But this is just for a start;
  • The second violation leads to the € 1000 penalty and driver’s license deprivation for the time period of 3 months;
  • The third alcohol limit violation costs € 1500 as well as driver’s license deprivation for the time period of 3 months;
  • Alcohol level higher than 1,1‰ will surely result in half a year jail term and driver’s license deprivation for the time period of 5 years;
  • If your driving experience is less than 2 years, or you are under the age of 21, taking alcohol while driving is forbidden. Completely forbidden. That means the blood alcohol content level should equal 0‰.

Toll roads

There are no toll roads in Berlin and its neighborhood. The only thing to remember is that when driving into the center of the city, it is required to purchase a sticker, indicating an acceptable expulsion concentration of your car. This is due to the fact that Berlin is included into one of the environmentally friendly areas, while passing along the roads themselves is fully free of charge. However, the sticker is a must, though not that expensive – from € 5 up to € 15. In any case, the travel will bring you an unforgettable pleasure.

If you want to drive along excellent roads, I suggest you should visit Ireland. I was there and got many positive emotions from traveling by car. I reserved a car and paid for it via this resource. It's nice that the price on the site includes almost everything. There is no overpayment or additional charge. I got a car with a full tank in the indicated place. You don't have to worry with this website.

When we went to visit sunny Spain, we decided to do it by the car to see more sights and not to spend time sitting in the hotel. We searched for cars via several car aggregators, until we found this one. The most complete sample and very profitable offers. Despite our worries, everything was fine.
