Rent 911 in Switzerland

Hey, I am going to be in switzerland for the next week and a half with some free time- is it possible to rent a 911 anywhere and find any great drives easily near geneva or laussane? Maybe bust over to Stuttgart? Just thinking here....

Anyone with ideas i would love to hear them...

I rented a Cayman S (Carrera wasn't available) from Avis in Frankfurt. I am sure that they will have them at other major cities in Europe. I recommend calling directly to Europe, the NA 1-800 number was useless, iwas told nothing was available. Called Frankfurt direct and asked them, the operator replied "of course we rent Porsche's"

200 Euro's a day with a 200km limit (all insurance included).

200$ euro a day with only 200km limit. kinda expensive.
I would skip on it, that's just me.

Switzerland is fine, but you can go a lot faster in Germany!

My last day was a trip to The Ring. I only had time for one lap, but it was well worth it!

I disagree, a small price to pay to drive legally at 250km/h (155 mph), do a lap on The Ring, and cross something off my bucket list! I dreamed of driving a Porsche on the Autobahn for more then 20 years!

It's not cheap . I once calculated a few years ago that to rent a 911 for two weeks and dtive it more than the alloted miles would cost nearly as much as buying one and trading it in two weeks later .

I rented a Prius last rental. It made me miss my cars even more.

Larry, of course you missed the Porsche when you were driving a Prius. They are opposites. That is like comparing James May to the Stig.
