Hello everyone, i'm going to France on the 16th of this month, a very good friend is getting married and well i'm taking this trip as a chance to visit the Nordschleife, well I want to rent a car but avis and hertz offer shitty cars to rent...I want something sporty heheh, does anyone know any car renting companies in France or Europe? any info would help! thanks!
ohh also, a company that rents a car for the track would do too, like at the nordschleife itself that would be awesome, since I can go there by train and just rent the car for the track, that's all I want.

Thanks!! :D :D

last time i checked, rental cars in Germany have a clause that states that going on the Ring voids the insurance, and is prohibited to be used on.

also, there are plenty of BMW, and Merc rentals. when i was there a few years back, we had a Mercedes E class most of the time.

however, i know in the US, they require 24 years old, and a credit card

goodluck

You can rent a Porsche by AVIS or RENTACAR , or a BMW Z4, what is your budget ?

I strongly advice Europcar :D they have the fun fleet available during summer and that included various sporty cars.. their prices are quite competitve :D

Of course there are small rentals everywhere with rare cars for rent, but to use a "big" one is always best.. just in case you can't take back your car to the place where you picked it up, you can dump it to one of their other garages spread across Europe ;)

Use this website www.holidayautos.com
They rent with the "big" names like Europcar, Hertz, Alamo/National, Avis etc.
I think you can also call them and ask them for a quote.
My cousin been using it for more tham 5 years and he says its the cheapest.
If you find someone cheaper than them thei will match it.
5 stars service.

Here are the opening times. Be aware that they somtimes change!!!

Read the fine print of your rental contract carefully!!! I dont think you are allowed to take any rental car in Europe on to the Nordschleife (not sure though). As for onsite track rental, not available. Un less you participate in a drivers training course, which includes time on the Nordschleife
