Armored vehicles in Berlin
Germany's capital: the Bundestag, the Chancellery, more than a hundred embassies and a steady calendar of official visits, congresses and fairs.
Armored car hire in Berlin with Nero Line is available on request: a certified armored saloon or SUV, at a protection level from VR4 to VR10, with a trained security driver or for your own licensed driver. Berlin is the seat of the German government and parliament and hosts embassies from around the world, so official and diplomatic visits are part of the city's daily life. Arrivals come through Berlin Brandenburg Airport, and programmes move between the government quarter, the embassies around the Tiergarten and hotels in Mitte. Rates are on request.
The Reichstag, the Chancellery and the parliamentary office buildings line the Spree in the heart of the city. During sessions and official visits, roads in the area close at short notice and security perimeters move with the programme of the day.
Our drivers keep up with these changes and plan alternative routes and set-down points, so a meeting in the government quarter does not depend on a single road being open.
Berlin hosts a large diplomatic community. Several embassies stand on Pariser Platz and along Unter den Linden, and many more are grouped in the embassy district south of the Tiergarten.
A diplomatic programme can move between these addresses, a hotel in Mitte and a reception in the evening. The driver plans each approach with the access rules of the building in mind.
Embassy receptions and national day celebrations take place throughout the year, often with many guests arriving at the same time. On those evenings the driver plans the arrival and the pick-up point with the host's arrangements in mind, and waits nearby so you can leave when you choose.
Messe Berlin, in the west of the city, hosts trade fairs and congresses throughout the year, and political and economic conferences take place in hotels and venues across Mitte.
Potsdam, with its palaces and lakeside villas, lies just southwest of the city and is within easy reach for private meetings and stays. Further afield, Frankfurt and Munich are within a long day's drive.
Trade fairs at Messe Berlin bring heavy traffic to the west of the city on opening days, and the driver plans the route around the main entrances.

Questions
Protection levels
Civilian armored vehicles are commonly rated on the VR scale. The higher the number, the heavier the threat the body and glazing are tested against, and the heavier the vehicle becomes.
| Level | Tested against | In practice |
|---|---|---|
| VR4 | Handguns, up to .44 Magnum. | Discreet protection for city travel. The lightest class, closest to a standard car in weight and handling. |
| VR6 to VR7 | Rifles. VR7 corresponds roughly to the former B6 rating. | Suited to executive and diplomatic travel where rifles are part of the risk assessment. |
| VR9 | Military rifles. Corresponds roughly to the former B7 rating. | High protection for elevated risk profiles. Heavy, with a licence requirement to match. |
| VR10 | The highest level certified for a civilian vehicle. | Available on request, subject to availability and longer lead times. |

How it works
Dates, cities or route, number of passengers and the protection level you have in mind. A rough plan is enough to start.
We confirm the vehicle class, protection level, driver arrangement and positioning, and send a written offer. Rates are on request and stated in the offer.
On confirmation we complete identity checks, and for self-drive the licence check and the security deposit. A confidentiality agreement can be signed first.
The vehicle is positioned to your airport, hotel, residence or venue at the agreed time, with the driver briefed on your programme.
Three ways to book
Every booking starts with the same question: who will be at the wheel. The answer decides the licence, the paperwork and the minimum duration.
An armored vehicle and a trained security driver, by the day or for the length of your stay. Minimum one full day.
Armored vehicle with driverYour professional or security driver takes the vehicle. We check the licence class and identity before handover. Minimum two days.
Self-drive and own driverCongress weeks, summits, festivals and residencies of several weeks. Plan early: around the large events, an early request keeps more choice of vehicle and protection level.
