Renting a sports car in Frankfurt?

[mhh]

I'm visiting Frankfurt in September for the motor show and want to spend a few days looking for good roads (Stelvio, whatever) etc while I'm there. Avis can't help with a 911 ("no car available" for my dates). I'd settle for something else decently quick if I can't find a Porsche but that would be my first choice. Anyone rented anything tasty in FRA and/or have a rental agency they can recommend ? I asked in the Porsche section too but no luck.

No plans to drive to the 'Ring - just pottering around.

TIA

Hi,

I have not rented in Frankfurt, but here in Munich SIXT rents M3 two doors at the airport. You may want to check their website.

Thanks for the suggestion. No luck finding an M3 in Frankfurt on the Sixt website.

I fly to Munich almost on a weekly basis and the best thing to do is to call the airport office and order over the telephone as it is impossible to guarantee a specific car on the net. Both Sixt and Avis have Porsches available. I had booked a 3-series for a business trip last week with Avis and ended up with a 997 4S Cabrio as they did not have any 3 series equivalents at the time - so i know they have them!

Good Luck

Thanks, my travel agent has tried Avis by phone but the request always comes back with no cars available for my dates. I'm picking up in Frankfurt and can't find any Porsches in Frankfurt showing on the Sixt website to enquire about. I understand category upgrades are possible on the day, but I was hoping to book the higher category now as the motor show will leave airport offices short of nicer cars.
