You're stationed in Bavaria. Drive something worth it.
You didn't come all the way to Germany to spend the weekend in a rental Golf. You're sitting in the middle of one of the best driving countries on the planet, the home of the Autobahn, the Alps a few hours south, empty back roads in every direction, and you've got the time off to actually use it. Performance Rentals exists to put the right car under you for that.
We're a small, owner-run shop in Weiden in der Oberpfalz, a short drive from the Grafenwöhr and Vilseck training areas. Five real performance cars in the lineup: the open-top V10 Audi R8 Spyder (570 hp), the brutal Audi RS6 Avant (600 hp), the screaming five-cylinder RS3 (400 hp), the sharp-suited Mercedes-AMG E53 (435 hp), and the top-down BMW M440d Convertible (340 hp). Every one of them is ours, we're not a broker shuffling your booking off to some partner two states away.
Here's what makes us easy to deal with: we accept your US license. SOFA status is welcome. Full insurance is always included: no surprise upsell at the counter. And you book online in about 2 minutes, the price you see is the price you pay.
We run 5.0 stars on Google from 49 real reviews, and we answer WhatsApp in minutes, not business days. No call center, no contact form purgatory. You message a person, you get a car. That's the whole deal.
Built for the way you actually rent.
Five cars. Pick your weekend.
No filler, no econoboxes. Every car here is a genuine performance machine, full insurance included. Tap one to see the details and lock in a date.
Looking for a Mustang or a Camaro?
Straight answer: we don't keep an American V8 on the lot (yet). What we do have is the German answer to it, the 600-hp RS6 with quattro grip in any weather, and the AMG E53 that'll embarrass a lot of muscle on a damp Autobahn. Curious how they stack up? Read our muscle vs. power breakdown, or just message us and tell us what you're after.

Can I rent with a US driver's license?
Yes. We accept US and most foreign driver's licenses. SOFA status holders are always welcome.

Always. Full insurance (Vollkasko) is included on every single rental at no extra charge. No surprise €30–100/day insurance upsell at pickup, what you book is what you pay.
How close are you to Grafenwöhr and Vilseck?
We're based in Weiden in der Oberpfalz, just minutes from the Grafenwöhr and Vilseck training areas. Pickup is a short hop from the gate, and we can deliver to other towns nearby for a surcharge by arrangement, just message us on WhatsApp.
How do I book?

Are you a broker, or do you own the cars?
We own every car in the fleet. You deal directly with us, not a faceless portal farming your booking out to a partner across Germany. Five real performance cars, one small team, 5.0 stars on Google from 49 real reviews.
