Car hire prices at Stuttgart Airport

For November 2026, use £42 a day as your Stuttgart Airport benchmark for an Intermediate, the Nissan Qashqai size, booked around a month before your trip. For the same month and lead time, a Compact, the Volkswagen Golf size, averages £39 a day, while a Fullsize, the BMW 3 Series size, averages £47. Within the last 2 weeks, an Intermediate car still averages £42 a day, so waiting does not reduce that benchmark. Use the price checker to compare prices for your exact dates.

At Stuttgart Airport, booking time moves prices by less than 13%, and an Intermediate car for November 2026 averages £42 a day both around a month before your trip and within the last 2 weeks. Book when your plans are firm rather than waiting: neither of those booking windows is cheaper for an Intermediate car in November 2026. Across the 395 airports we track car hire prices for, 65% of our customers book within a month of pickup.

Flex to Go is Stuttgart Airport's cheapest supplier for an Intermediate car over the last 12 months, averaging £41 a day from 827 prices, but you need a credit card and a £768 deposit. Over the same 12 months, Budget averages £42 a day for an Intermediate car, £1 more a day, and scores 83/100 from 182 reviews against Flex to Go's 66/100 from 117. Both desks are at the airport, but Budget's average wait is 9 minutes against Flex to Go's 14 minutes. Choose Budget if debit-card acceptance and a £171 deposit matter more to you than saving £1 a day.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

Flizzr is the best-reviewed company at Stuttgart Airport, scoring 89/100 from 46 reviews, with a 9-minute average desk wait, so compare it first if reviews and pickup time matter to you. Flizzr is not the cheapest: an Intermediate car averages £51 a day over the last 12 months from 786 prices. Flex to Go averages £41 a day for an Intermediate car over that period from 827 prices, £10 less a day, but scores 66/100 from 117 reviews and has a 14-minute average wait. If you want a lower price without that review score, compare Budget, which scores 83/100 from 182 reviews and also has a 9-minute average wait.

Review scores are CarTrawler customers' own, from the last five months; the score and the desk wait sit beside each car in the results.

At Stuttgart Airport, deposits range from £171 with Budget to £768 with Flex to Go, and 4 of the 11 desks take debit cards, so check your card eligibility before choosing a price.

If you bring your own child seat, check your airline's rules first: most carry one free, some charge.

At Stuttgart Airport, watch for credit-card-only deposits and desk waits that could delay your weekday morning departure; an airport desk does not guarantee a quick pickup. If your schedule is tight, allow for Enterprise's 22-minute average desk wait, compared with 9 minutes at Budget, Hertz and Sixt. Check your card before booking because 6 of the 11 desks require a credit card, while Enterprise accepts debit cards only for some cars. Check available credit too: Flex to Go holds £768 on average, compared with Budget's £171.

Fuel is full tank out, full tank back on 98% of prices at Stuttgart Airport, so there is no fuel charge to be surprised by.

At Stuttgart Airport, choose an Intermediate, the Nissan Qashqai size, at £42 a day in November 2026 for luggage space: it seats 5 but takes 4 bags, so pack lighter with every seat occupied. For November 2026 pickups priced around a month before your trip, step down to a Compact, the Volkswagen Golf size, at £39 a day if 3 bags suffice; a Fullsize, the BMW 3 Series size, costs £47 a day but still takes only 4 bags. Automatic cars are 58% of cars offered, so you have a broad choice, but tick automatic rather than assuming your chosen car has it. Across all batches, an automatic Intermediate car averages £51 a day from 26,116 prices against £48 a day for a manual Intermediate car from 19,272 prices, so automatic costs £3 more a day. Electric cars are 2% of cars offered and hybrids are not offered, so check electric availability before planning around one.
