Experienced to travel in Germany by car? Rules, signs, do's, don'ts ...

Rental car:

Ensure that all drivers have a valid driving permission for Germany: for this check validity of foreign driving licences in Germany and Austria and if (likely) IDP is needed.

Ensure vignette for Austria.

Rental car station close to A9 recommended for pick-up, e. g. Sixt Schwabing.

Rental car drop-off?

For destination suggestions interests / preferences would help.

That would work for me. You may want to take a day and drive over to Lake Constanz from Pfronten. Have a good trip. There's a chance I'll be in that area around then too.

I lived in Germany for four years and did the Oktoberfest three times. If you can't find a hotel in Munich, consider staying in Augsburg, 50 miles west of Munich and a short train ride.

Why did your leave out Salzburg, Austria, Berchtesgaden, Germany and Garmish/Fussen, Germany?
