Renting a 911 in the UK
Discussion
Hi all,
Looking to get into a 911 in the next year or so, just waiting for a few things to fall into place financially.
In the meantime I wanted to rent a 911 for a few days for use in the UK in early May - does anyone know of anywhere that does this? I have done the usual searches but keen to hear of positive first hand experiences from people who have done similar.
Covering a moderate distance, likely minimum 500 miles but well under 1000.
I saw the Porsche Drive Rental thread from a couple of years ago but that service no longer runs.
Based in Hertfordshire so ideally somewhere relatively local for convenience. Happy to travel if needed though.
Thanks in advance.

Avis Prestige. Looks like they have 911s on fleet from Central London or Heathrow (and might move one for you?) https://www.avisprestige.com/sports
For the same reason as you, I rented a FFRR from them for a few days. Took it all the way up to Scotland for a long weekend to check that I was going to get on with it before buying one.
It may differ from branch to branch, but the the guys in the one I used were great and into their cars. When they heard what else I drove they waived some of the deposit requirement. Also ended up with higher mileage allowance than expected when initially booking.
Was really impressed, especially given some of the horror stories you hear about some high end car rental places.

Scrap that - called Avis Prestige but they've taken them off the list due to only having cars for certain time periods - only have SUVs now of all brands. Maybe getting some Merc AMGs in but TBC when.
Back to the drawing board. Cheers anyway LooneyTunes :thumb:
