We’re here to take the pain out of German driving for expats
The German vehicle lease and long-term rental systems are fraught with complications that make driving in Germany unnecessarily challenging for expats. They’re often restrictive and inflexible, causing stress and delays. You cannot simply walk into a dealership and expect to arrange a long-term lease – not without your visa in place and a residential permit, which can both take many weeks to organise.
At King & Mayr, we decided to reinvent the system by developing an alternative award-winning long-term vehicle solution that finally makes it easy for drivers to get on the road in a car they love.

We respond to your needs
We believe getting on the road in a vehicle that feels like your own should be a given when you come to Germany. That’s why we have developed a bespoke approach from initial consultation to vehicle delivery and maintenance, ensuring every client’s and driver’s needs are always met.
We communicate with clarity
We pride ourselves on our clear and effective approach to communication. Language barriers cause all manner of misunderstandings. Our team of English-speaking professionals are always available to assist clients and assignees and keep you fully informed so you have clarity – and peace of mind.
We’re dedicated to serving you
We know how important it is for you to focus on settling in and enjoying your time in Germany. That’s why we step in as your personal vehicle concierge. We handle every detail for you from the contracts and insurance, to permits and maintenance, to ensure your experience is stress-free.
A unique expat vehicle program designed to answer every pain point
We’ve drawn on our extensive knowledge of relocation processes and the local systems here in Germany, to create a simplified scheme whereby assignees can access a vehicle from the day they arrive.
Our unique process has been designed to protect our clients from German bureaucracy, with any default liability ultimately resting with King & Mayr, as owner of the fleet. Taking a big picture approach to this problem has allowed us to lift the red tape.
Meanwhile, our contract with the organisation direct (relocator or employer) allows us to service our clients in the most effective way possible, in control of the process, therefore reducing the chance of any costly surprises at any stage of the contract.

I would highly recommend their service to any organisation as a top provider of concierge services.

The life and work experiences he has gathered equip him with an ideal skill set that brings forth the passion he has for helping fellow internationals adjust, enjoy and make the most of their assignments in Germany.
We help to educate our vendor partners…
Beyond the delivery of our direct service, we have, over time, also been able to educate our vendor partners on how they can work more effectively with international clients. As a result, they have refined their own processes to accommodate these needs, such as allowing our clients longer to process documents at their end. By taking this proactive approach with our vendors, they now better understand and serve our clients' needs. It has also opened up greater flexibility and resulted in a streamlined way of working for all stakeholders.
We guide our clients on German culture…
We have also been able to educate our clients on German business culture more generally, including the intricacies of German billing cycles and how they can circumnavigate any issues that arise from incompatibilities with their own financial administrative process. This has reduced frustrations for HR/global mobility teams who are now better equipped to communicate more effectively with wider partners and resolve general relocation challenges more equitably.
And we give back to the international community too…
