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. Luxury cars and SUVs in Berlin: the BMW X7 with seven seats, the Porsche Cayenne and the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43. And for the city itself the Abarth 595, a hot hatch that fits any parking space in Kreuzberg.

That's the core; the rest of the BMW range in Berlin and Mercedes in Berlin, convertibles, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y and other electric cars come to Berlin on request from our other German stations, as do the Ferrari Roma and the Lamborghini Urus. Cars come and go, so enter your dates in the booking bar to see what's available on your travel days. Whatever you pick, it's guaranteed - no "or similar".

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👍
