Driving in Münster is not particularly stressful, despite the fact that the city attracts a lot of traffic. There is good road access to the city for visitors, parking is convenient and it is also easy to register your own vehicle. Car-sharing is a practical and inexpensive alternative to keeping your own car.
Münster can be reached conveniently by car: those travelling from the Ruhr district and the Rhineland should take the motorways A1 and A43 to the Münster-Süd junction (Münster-South), while those approaching from Bremen and Hamburg should take the A1 to the Münster-Nord junction (Münster-North). A and B roads also lead into and through the city from all directions.

A parking guidance system is available, which helps visitors to find parking spaces. There are seven multi-storey and underground car parks in the Old Town and near the main railway station, and another two at the Cineplex cinema and Stadthaus 3, near the Halle Münsterland. A selection of parking spaces is also available for long-stay visitors. The main inner city car park, with space for over 900 cars, is located on the Hindenburgplatz, in front of the Palace.
The vehicle registration office is on hand to answer questions regarding vehicle registration and driving licences.
Car-sharing is a practical and inexpensive alternative to running your own car. “Stadtteilautos”, or short-term rental vehicles, are available from a range of service points across the city for shopping purposes, weekend trips, removals or holidays. The benefits: users have nothing to do with the cars’ insurance, maintenance or cleaning.
