While it is true that certain sections of the Autobahn have no speed limit, there are other parts where the recommended limit is 130 km/h. On the other hand, if you see a sign with the speed limit written in black, this is the legal speed limit and not just a recommendation.

In Germany, it is illegal to drive while wearing headphones.

Frankfurt has a Low Emission Zone – you’ll need a special sticker to drive through it. Ask your car hire company for more information.
