In case you are planning on renting a car while on your Germany excursion, you may also want to consider leasing a car from Renault's Eurodrive (http://www.renaultusa.com/) program. It's a lease, so it's a bit different from renting. Your stay has to be at least 17 days. You can pick the car up at most major airports, particularly in France. They deliver to the Frankfurt and Munich airports in Germany (at, I think, a $150 fee). While Renault is not as chic as a Mercedes or BMW, if you are looking for a good deal, they have them. It is my understanding that the lease comes with insurance that covers you in almost all EU countries, unlimited mileage, and not additional fee for a second driver, and if you rent from one of the major rental carriers, you either have to pay out the...well, alot, for insurance and may even have to pay more if you want to travel to Italy, Poland or the Czech Republic (countries that are easily within driving distance of Germany). Also, they have added two Nissan SUVs in addition to their Renault cars to choose from.
No, I don't work for Renault, or have any affiliation with them, but after spending much of 2 entire days analyzing costs associated with renting a car for 33 days, this was by far the best (and most economical - even for someone not travelling on a budget) option. My brother and I are renting a Nissan Pathfinder for 33 days for $3036 (all fees included). Just a suggestion for those staying for an extended period of time and are going to be getting a car.
