Porsche Rental in Germany
I will be vacationing in Germany and Austria for two weeks in September. I have been online trying to find a company that rents Porsches. Has anyone had any experience with these companies or have a recommendation? I don't know if I could live with myself if I didn't put a Porsche on the Autobahn.

I rented a Carrera from the Berlin airport Avis counter in 2000.
The car was $250 bucks for 24 hours, which included 200 clicks. It was a half a buck per Kilometer after that. I also bought every single piece of insurance one could get and begged for more. $650.00 + $70 for 3/4 tank of fuel for about three hours worth of 265 Kph driving (yup, you read that right... sustained it for quite some time too). Car rental, $600. Fuel, $70. Boyhood dream come true, priceless! Bottom line: I don't think you have to go to a specialty company just to rent the car for the day. However, if you plan to be there a week or two and drive lots and lots of kilometers, I'd say a company that specializes in renting Porsches to rich Americans with deep pockets and no budget would certainly be the way to go. BTW, one can rent a BMW 545i for under $150 bucks a day with unlimited mileage. It'll go real fast too, and have lots of room for luggage |
I will definately be doing that sometime in my life. Especialy seeing the autobahn special on tv, with a ruff 911 turbo going 212 MPH with 2 camera men, a driver and a passenger (thats what the speedo said, but how accurate would that be)

Hey, buy a new Porsche, and then do the European Delivery option!!!!
Like this: http://www.porsche.com/usa/eventsandracing/eventsandracing-europeandelivery/ |
randall is right, too expensive and not much luggage space in 911
they are other options for autobahn rides, otherwise try maybe a german car mag web site, i know that they are quite a few companies in England for exotics and i would say they more than likely have the same in Germany, probably cheaper than avis or hertz |
I know for sure that as of 2004 the "Avis" at the Frankfurt Airport has Porsches. I searched for a Porsche rental stateside before my visit with no luck. I called a ton of rental places and could only find BMWs. So I ended up renting a Z4--- which when I went to pick it up was parked a few slots down from at least 10 911s and Boxsters. Next time.
Regardless of the price--- it will be worth it. Good luck. Have a safe trip and good time. PS I ended up being very pleased with the Z4. |

Bmus, already went down that road. I was trying to convince my wife to get to let me trade in my '05 for a '06 Carrera white with TIP (so she could drive it too) and have the European Delivery option. As you can see, I wasn't much of a salesman. I am leaving the Army in a year so there are a few minor things like, oh, jobs for one thing that she is worried about.

Ahh the Autobahn. My brother-in-law works for Chrysler Europe and once when I visited, he borrowed a Viper for the day. We blew through Belgium, Germany and Holland at very unsafe speeds. That car was grossly uncivilized and nothing I would want to own, but for a day of reckless endangerment, there really is nothing better. We unfortunately couldn’t find anything to race. A BMW and one V12 Mercedes tried us, but they were absolutely no match, even accelerating from 120. I did see a 911 Turbo, but by the time I caught up to him, he was exiting. Of course the next day when I was driving a Jeep Cherokee, I got passed by a pink Lamborghini. Bah, bad timing…
