I usually do a European road trip once or twice a year in my own car but have recently sold my 911 and don’t plan on replacing it for a while as I want my next fun car to be at a level I can’t quite justify right now.

As I’ve always driven to Europe I don’t have much car hire experience other than when my 911 broke down and I finished my trip in a Kia Sportage… Having looked at various options of where to start my trip (I want to fly direct somewhere from Heathrow) it looked like a Z4 was going to be my likely choice from Geneva or Nice but now looking at exploring the Pyrenees from Barcelona and saw SIXT has a 911 to hire for c£250 per day (200km per day).

Anyone rented a 911 from SIXT? I’d hope they don’t substitute it for a different ‘4 seat luxury coupe’.

You can also rent a 911 from various European OPCs which I wasn’t aware of, but the prices are much more than SIXT but they do rent GT3s which might be fun for a day or two.

I’d prefer to rent a Boxster to be honest but haven’t found anywhere that does them.

Any ideas for being able to hire a fun car at a good airport location from a reputable firm would be very much appreciated. As would excellent hotels in the Pyrenees as I’m not familiar at all with that area.
