Honest logistics before you drive off
- We are not on post. Pickup is at our own yard in Weiden, Nikolaistraße 6b, 92637 Weiden i.d.OPf. There is no counter at a gate, at Nuremberg Airport or at a train station.
- Bring: your driving licence in the original, your ID or passport, and a payment method for the deposit. Credit card hold or bank transfer both work.
- Book online, pay online. You pick car and dates in the calendar, pay the rental online (card, Apple Pay or Google Pay) and get your confirmation by email right away. The deposit is handled at pickup. Prefer to talk first? WhatsApp works too.
- One of each car. Block leave, PCS season and good weather all hit the same weekends, and we only own one RS6, one R8 and so on. Early dates beat late dates.
- Driving into the Czech Republic or Austria has to be agreed with us in writing before the rental, message us on WhatsApp when you book, then the insurance cover is clean.
- Delivery to post or to your off-base housing is possible on request for a surcharge. We quote it per case on WhatsApp; there is no published delivery price.
- Cancellation: free up to 14 days before pickup, then 30 % (13–7 days), 50 % (6–2 days), 100 % under 48 hours.
Stationed at USAG Bavaria? This one's for you.
Here's the deal: the US Army dropped you in the one country on Earth where you can legally open up a 600-horsepower car on a public road and not get a ticket for it. The Grafenwöhr Training Area, Vilseck, Tower Barracks, Rose Barracks, you're surrounded by some of the best driving roads in Europe, and most soldiers PCS out three years later without ever doing the thing Germany is actually famous for. Don't be that guy.
We're Performance Rentals, think of us as your buddy who happens to own a fleet of fast cars. We're based in Weiden, just minutes down the road from the gate at Grafenwöhr (Grafenwoehr, if your keyboard doesn't do umlauts). We're a real local outfit with our own cars sitting in our own yard, not a faceless broker shuffling someone else's vehicles around the country. You message us, you talk to us, you pick up your car from us.
And we get the military community. SOFA status is welcome. We accept US driver's licenses. Full insurance (Vollkasko) is always included: no €100-a-day "collision damage waiver" upsell at the counter. And you book online in about 2 minutes, 24/7, so you can ask for a weekend rental at 0200 if that's when the plan comes together.
We run 5 cars, all of them serious: the Audi RS6 Avant (600 hp V8, the do-everything monster), the Audi RS3 (400 hp five-cylinder, a pocket rocket with a noise that'll wake the whole company area), the Mercedes-AMG E53 (435 hp, the smooth executive missile), the BMW M440d Convertible (340 hp, top down, sun out), and the Audi R8 Spyder (570 hp V10, roof down). 5.0 stars on Google from 49 real reviews.
From €229/day, full insurance included. Book online or hit us on WhatsApp, same as texting a friend.
Built for the USAG Bavaria community.
The Autobahn has no speed limit. Use it.
This is the whole point. Long stretches of the German Autobahn are derestricted, no posted limit, and the roads near Grafenwöhr put some of the best of it within easy reach. Here's where soldiers from USAG Bavaria actually take our cars:
Performance Rentals vs. the big agencies.
If you've priced a sports car through one of the big chains or a broker site, you already know the drill: insurance bolted on top, and nothing actually fast in the lot. Here's the honest comparison.
| Provider | Vehicle class | Price/day | Full insurance incl. | SOFA / US license |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Performance Rentals ✓ | R8 570 hp / RS6 600 hp / RS3 400 hp | from €229 | Yes ✓ | Welcome ✓ |
| Big rental chain | Mid-range sport | €350–500+ | Extra fee | Case by case |
| Broker sites | Sports car | €300–600+ | Extra fee | No local pickup |
| On-base / standard rental | Economy / sedan | €40–90 | Varies | Yes, but no sports car |
Five cars. All of them serious.
No filler, no economy boxes. Every car in the yard is something you'd actually want to drive on derestricted Autobahn. All with full insurance, SOFA welcome, US license accepted, picked up about 25 minutes from Grafenwöhr.
The Audis: the Autobahn weapons
Built basically next door in Bavaria. The RS6 Avant (600 hp twin-turbo V8) is the do-it-all monster, wagon practical, hypercar fast, planted at 250 km/h. The RS3 (400 hp five-cylinder) is the compact rocket with the wildest engine note in the segment. Both rent without an insurance upsell. And the R8 Spyder (570 hp V10) is the bucket-list supercar before you PCS out.
The convertible: top down, sun out
When the Bavarian summer shows up, there's only one right answer: roof down. The BMW M440d Convertible (340 hp, 48V mild hybrid) cruises easy, sips fuel on the highway, and still hauls when you want it to. The relaxed long-day, open-air pick.
The AMG: the quiet fast one
The Mercedes-AMG E53 (435 hp inline-six + EQ Boost) is the sleeper: serious speed under a clean, grown-up sedan. Perfect for date night, a wedding, or rolling up to something where you want to make a statement without yelling. Power that whispers.
Looking for a Mustang or a Corvette?
Straight up: we don't keep an American V8 in the yard. What we've got is the all-weather, all-wheel-drive answer to it, the RS6 with 600 hp and the AMG E53. On a wet German Autobahn, that's the smarter weapon anyway. Tell us on WhatsApp what you've got in mind and we'll match you to the right car.
Booking is faster than a CQ shift.
Questions from the barracks.
Is there car rental on post at Grafenwoehr (Tower Barracks)?
Not from us. We're off post: a private German rental company in Weiden, about 25 minutes from the Tower Barracks gate. If you just need an everyday car to get around, check what's available on post or in town. We're the sports car rental for Grafenwoehr: five cars of our own from €229/day with full insurance included. US license accepted.
Can I rent a sports car if I'm stationed at Grafenwöhr / USAG Bavaria?
Absolutely. We're set up for the US military community at USAG Bavaria. SOFA status is welcome, and we accept US driver's licenses. Pickup in Weiden is just a short drive from the gate, and full insurance is always included.
Is the Autobahn really unlimited, and can I drive an RS6 on it?
Yes. Long stretches of the German Autobahn have no posted speed limit, and our cars are built for exactly that. The A93 and A6 near Grafenwöhr give you wide-open, derestricted sections where a 600 hp RS6 finally makes sense. Drive Germany before you PCS out, you won't get this anywhere back home.
How much does it cost and what's included?
Audi RS3 from €229/day, Mercedes-AMG E53 and BMW M440d Convertible from €249/day, Audi RS6 from €299/day, Audi R8 Spyder from €449/day. Full insurance (Vollkasko) is always included, no surprise add-ons. Booking online takes about 2 minutes, and confirmation arrives by email right after payment.
Can I rent for the weekend or while on leave?
That's most of what we do. Weekend rips, block-leave road trips, a birthday or a buddy's send-off, book online 24/7 or message us on WhatsApp and we'll lock in your dates. Multi-day rates are friendlier per day.
Can you deliver the car closer to the base?
Standard pickup is at our location in Weiden, only minutes from Grafenwöhr. Delivery closer to the gate or to nearby towns is possible for a surcharge by arrangement, just send us a quick WhatsApp and we'll sort it out.
