Maybe they will rent their prepped GT3RS
See you there if you decide to come

P.S. Destination Nurburgring is on the next day and is cheaper, as well as not limited to Porsche only, so the car rental will be cheaper as well

Frankfurt. In the past I have booked E class just to get something else. I would like a company that provides what they advertise.
Thank you

Why ask for the impossible

I've been most happy with the service of Avis but I usually rent the cheapest available. I've used Alamo, Enterprise and Sixt: all very capable of giving me cheap cars

Maybe this can help:

2. Stuttgart for 3 days to visit Porsche and Mercedes factories and museums
When are you going to be there ... I'll be at the Ring 24th-25th @ Manthey and DE days...

p.s
rent from rentracecar.de instead, and get Theo to give you some coaching - I'm not a fan of RSR

that you can track or not?

many (if not all) of the consumer rental car companies will either not insure, or specifically exclude you, from taking their car onto the Ring etc...

I never rented from them before. I was just on their website while looking for rentals. Seems legit but could never be 100% sure.

Not for tracking. I will be in Dland for few days and I'm just looking for an up and down but comfy car

Thanks Larry. Looks like Syxt will still be the best option. I have used them in the states but in germany.

Anyone else planning a trip to germany? I will be there April 12 on
