Our rental cars in Berlin: from Porsche 911 to BMW X7
Berlin is a compact station with a sharp lineup. From Porsche the 911 Carrera Coupe, the 718 Cayman S and the track-bred 718 Cayman GT4 - see our Porsche rental in Berlin. Sports cars in Berlin beyond Porsche: the BMW M3 Competition Touring and M4 Competition Coupe and the Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe.

Great company. Rented a GT4 in Stuttgart, they took the time to walk around the car to document any damages, asked for me to take pictures and videos. Great process, Car was clean and in excellent shape. Super service, could not be happier. I will have to do a trip every year from now on.
I hired an M3 Touring through this outfit and it was a great experience. The guy who handed over the car was really accommodating and helpful. The car was phenomenal and everything in the process was super simple and straight forward. Definitely recommend!
Such an awesome experience! Rented a BMW M3 and the ride was such an amazing experience. Pick up was in Munich and drop off was in Salzburg and each time was ABSOLUTELY seamless. Will definitely rent again when I'm in Germany!
Fantastic service that I wish we had in Australia. Will definitely use again when in Germany. Great selection of cars at reasonable prices with great professional service. Had a Cayman GTS this time around for a few days and look forward to trying some of the other fleet vehicles next time!
The best prices for cars in Germany. Good communication with customers, the deposit was returned the next day. I recommend👍

Car rental at Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER): how pickup works
Flying into BER? Our station is 5 minutes from Terminal 1, so you don't queue at a counter in the terminal: take the shuttle from the long-distance bus parking area (every 20 minutes) and your car is ready with a personal handover. If you'd rather not move at all, we bring the car to the terminal or to your hotel - choose "Deliver to address" during booking and the delivery fee is shown instantly, no quote request, no surprises.
From BER you're on the A113 within two minutes: downtown Berlin in 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic, Potsdam in 40 minutes, Dresden in two hours, Prague in three and a half - and the unrestricted stretches of the A13 and A9 start right outside the city. Return works the same way: at our station with a shuttle back to the terminal, or at the airport itself.
