Sporty Car Hire
Were in the midst of planning our next euro trip and next yr it seems the Stelvio pass is on the agenda.
Not sure i wanna take my corrado on a 2k jaunt into europe so was wondering about hiring somethign fun for a few days - but no idea where to begin. I reckon £500 for the weekend hire - with unlimited mileage is where my heads at. Anyone got any thoughts?

I think you might struggle to get anything decent and take it overseas for a Monkey.

No, you can do airport to airport with most hire firms

I'll just keep yours as a deposit .
Caveat - do you still have the 5er - not too interested in the Corrado - sorry.

nah 5er went back when i moved jobs... and trust me - the corrado is the better car!
I reckon given the prices im being quoted - im better of chucking a few ££ at the corrado and make it even better for the trip... and its one hell a machine to chuck into corners.

Wouldn't you be better to fly there and get a hire car from the nearest airport or town. Or fly into Munich and start your trip from there. I hired a 535d in Munich once - fortunately they don't check the tyre tread depth before and after
You will struggle to find a hire company that will let you take the car out of the UK. |

Part of the fun is the driving there... and back and trying NOT to goto the nurburgring!
Following the threads here and elsewhere over the past few months though - if i do goto the ring - im gonna hire a ring car so im all insured etc.

I was looking into something similar, I have always wanted to do a Highlands trip and I am finally going to do it in June next year for four days. I started looking around for sports car hire myself and can't find anything decent for under £1k, plus a £2.5K deposit. I think now I am going to get the boat across with my own car and spend money on some really nice hotels which will keep my wife happy as a road trip is not really her sort of thing.
