Have a question for those of you that live in Europe. I am coming to Europe on business and I would like to rent a sports car while I am there. Of course I would love it to be a 997. CAn any of you please tell what are the good rental companies? Thank you.
Avis and some other smaller rental companies in Germany have Porsche cars for renting. When I checked recently, Avis had only the 996 available. I don't think any car rental will get a 997 soon.
You also need at least two major credit cards to rent a Porsche over here, best combo is Amex and Mastercard. Some companies do not accept a Visa - Mastercard combo, on of the two cards has to be Amex, some are asking for gold cards and some are even asking for an Amex Platinum or Centurion card but mostly for Ferrari cars.
A lot of Porsche dealers in Germany are renting 911s but usually not the 997 right now. Cost is around 240 or 250 Euro per day plus extra cost for each km (200 km are included as far as I remember).
Avis rents out 911s starting from 199 Euro per day depending on the date, etc.
To make it short: I don't think you can rent a 997 right now, maybe in a few months or next year.
