Stationed at Rose Barracks in Vilseck? We're your buddy who happens to own a fleet of 600-hp cars — about 30 minutes from the gate in Weiden. Audi RS6 (600 hp), RS3 (400 hp), Mercedes-AMG E53 and BMW M440d Convertible, full insurance always included. SOFA welcome, rent from age 18, US license accepted. From €229/day.
You did your time at the range. Now you've got a weekend, a per diem itch, and one of the best driving countries on the planet right outside the gate. If you're at Rose Barracks with the 2nd Cavalry Regiment — or rolling through for a rotation at the Grafenwöhr Training Area — Performance Rentals is the easy yes. We're a small, owner-run fleet about 30 minutes away in Weiden, not a faceless corporate desk and not a broker shuffling somebody else's cars across Germany.
Here's the deal in plain English: you can rent from age 18 (no 25-and-over wall like the big chains), your US driver's license is accepted — just carry an International Driving Permit alongside it and you're golden — and full insurance (Vollkasko) is always included. No surprise €30–100/day coverage upsell at the counter. SOFA status? Welcome. PCS'ing through? Welcome. Civilian who just wants a real car for the weekend? Also welcome.
And the cars are the real thing. A 600-hp Audi RS6 Avant that will absolutely embarrass anything you've driven on a US interstate, a screaming five-cylinder RS3, a sharp AMG E53, and a BMW M440d Convertible for top-down cruising when the Bavarian sun finally shows up. Own fleet, kept right. 5.0 stars on Google from 47 real reviews.
The location is the cheat code. You're minutes from the A6 and A93 Autobahn — yes, the derestricted kind — with the Oberpfälzer Wald and Fränkische Schweiz back roads on your doorstep and the Czech border a short hop away. Book and pay online in 60 seconds, 24/7. Or just message us on WhatsApp and we'll get you sorted in minutes.
With a Performance Rentals car, some of the best roads in Europe start right outside the gate. Here's where we'd point you:
Compare it straight up. We give you real performance cars, full insurance included, and age 18+ — for less than the chains charge for a tarted-up sedan.
| Provider | Vehicle class | Price/day | Full insurance incl. | Age 18+ | Near Vilseck |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Performance Rentals ✓ | RS6 600 hp / RS3 400 hp | from €229 | Yes ✓ | Yes ✓ | ~30 min ✓ |
| Big rental chain | Mid-range sport | from €350–500 | Surcharge | 25+ only | Limited |
| Big rental chains | Standard sedan | from €120–200 | Surcharge | 21+ only | Airport only |
| Broker portal | Sports car | from €300–600 | Surcharge | 25+ only | No local pickup |
Four cars, zero filler. Every one comes with full insurance, age 18+, US license accepted, and pickup minutes from the gate (or delivery closer for a surcharge — just ask on WhatsApp).
The RS6 Avant packs 600 hp and a twin-turbo V8 — it makes Autobahn overtakes a non-event and will pin you to the seat in a way nothing back home does. The RS3 is the pocket rocket: that unmistakable five-cylinder snarl, made for the tight stuff in the Fränkische Schweiz. Both yours from 18, no insurance upsell.
When the Bavarian sun finally breaks through, drop the top. The BMW M440d Convertible runs 340 hp with a 48-volt mild hybrid — smooth, quick, and efficient enough that you're not living at the gas station. The easy-going cruiser for long summer days and lake runs.
The Mercedes-AMG E53 is the quiet operator: 435 hp under a clean executive shape. Inline-six with EQ Boost — power that whispers instead of shouts. Perfect when you want to show up sharp without making a scene.
Straight answer: we don't keep an American V8 in the yard (yet). What we do have is the all-weather, all-wheel-drive answer to it — the 600-hp RS6 and the AMG E53. On the Autobahn, in any weather, they're the smarter pick. Tell us on WhatsApp what you're after and we'll point you to the right car.
Absolutely. SOFA-status soldiers and their families are welcome. Bring your valid driver's license — a US license works, and we recommend carrying an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside it. You can rent from age 18, no 25+ minimum, and full insurance (Vollkasko) is always included.
We're in Weiden in der Oberpfalz, about 30 minutes from Rose Barracks in Vilseck — minutes from the gate by Bavarian standards. Prefer the car brought closer? We can arrange delivery for a surcharge; just message us on WhatsApp.
Audi RS3 and AMG E53 start at €229/day, the BMW M440d Convertible at €249/day, and the Audi RS6 at €299/day. Full insurance (Vollkasko) is always included — no surprise add-ons, no hidden daily fees like the big rental desks charge.
Yes. We accept a valid US driver's license. For peace of mind on German roads we recommend carrying an International Driving Permit (IDP) too — it's a cheap, simple translation of your license. Bring both and you're set.
Pick your car and pay online in about 60 seconds at buchung.pr-weiden.com — available 24/7 with instant confirmation. Prefer to chat first? Message us on WhatsApp and we'll sort it out in minutes.
You're spoiled. The A6 and A93 Autobahn are right there for derestricted high-speed stretches, the back roads through the Oberpfälzer Wald and Fränkische Schweiz are pure driving fun, and the Czech border is a short hop for a day trip. The RS6 eats the Autobahn for breakfast.
