A standard Class B driving license is generally sufficient for most rental RVs in Frankfurt, covering vehicles up to 3,500 kg (3.5 tons), which includes popular campervans like the VW California Ocean or smaller semi-integrated models. For larger motorhomes between 3,500 kg and 7,500 kg, a Class C1 license is required, while vehicles exceeding 7,500 kg demand a Class C license. However, most rental RVs you'll encounter for a typical vacation fall within the standard Class B license category, making RV travel accessible to many. Most rental companies in Frankfurt require drivers to be at least 21 years old and to have held their license for a minimum of 1-3 years; Bandana has no young driver surcharges or vehicle class restrictions based on age. Non-EU citizens should carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside their valid national driver's license for driving in Germany, although it is not mandatory in all situations, it is highly recommended for clarity and ease of communication with local authorities. This ensures you're fully prepared for your adventure.
