Transportation

Ramstein AB has an on-base Hertz rental that retirees can use. There is a Hertz drop box inside the terminal on the wall next to check-in scale #1.
Hertz Autovermietung Gmbh, Airbas, VOQ, Bldg. 305, 66877, Ramstein, Germany, tele +49 (0)6371-44202, fax +49 (0) 6371-43027 email: geram5tramsteinap@hertz.com. I hope this helps since AMC car rental went out of business. Also you can call AFCR (there’s an off-base free phone upstairs in the USO office), phone number 06371-8020520. They are reasonable and take VISA, Master Card, etc. They can’t drive on the base, but they will pick you up at the Ramstein gate (10 minute walk to the gate). Once they have all your info, you can drive back onto the base and pickup your luggage and family at the terminal. You leave the car at the terminal when you fly out. The Enterprise and Sixt offices on base do not rent to retirees.

You can actually take a FREE ride on the Ramstein to Aviano Medical bus. Make arrangements with USO at Ramstein. It departs Ramstein on Tuesdays and Fridays. It returns Mondays and Thursdays.
