Renting a sports car in Frankfurt: prices, requirements & tips (2026)

Frankfurt am Main isn't only a financial metropolis but also the gateway to some of Hesse's finest driving roads – from the Taunus to the Rheingau. No wonder, then, that more and more people want to rent a sports car in Frankfurt rather than settle for an anonymous standard rental car. This guide walks you through everything that matters: which models are available, what they cost, which requirements apply and how booking works online in just a few minutes.

Which sports cars can I rent in Frankfurt?

At RS Rent A Car we deliberately keep a compact, curated selection that we hold technically flawless and instantly available. In the sport segment you drive the VW Golf 8 GTI Clubsport with 300 PS, a 7-speed DSG and a chassis tuned on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, plus the Audi RS 3 with the legendary 2.5 TFSI five-cylinder, 400 PS, quattro all-wheel drive and 3.8 seconds from 0 to 100. Both cars are everyday-usable, five-seat and still deliver genuine motorsport feel.

What does it cost to rent a sports car?

Our sport models start at €150 per day for the Golf GTI Clubsport. What determines the final price, though, isn't just the daily rate but also the rental length, the weekend tariff, included kilometres, the deposit and the excess. Book longer and you pay noticeably less per day – you'll find the exact tiers on each vehicle page and in the detailed guide on what renting a sports car costs. A fair comparison is only possible when all of these items are transparently on the table – which is exactly what we focus on.

What requirements do I need to meet?

A minimum age of 19 applies, a category B licence held for at least one year and a valid identity card (or a passport with a certificate of residence). The requirements are the same for every car, and rentals are available only within Germany. You'll find all the binding details on the Requirements page. A big advantage with us: the deposit is refundable and can be placed without a credit card – on request we even accept your own car as security.

How the booking works

Booking is fully digital: choose your dates, check availability, enter your details and place the deposit securely online. Pickup is at our station at Industriehof in Frankfurt; a transfer can be arranged on request. A documented handover with photo record and checklist follows, so everything is clear for both sides. That way you're often in your chosen car the same or the next day.

Tips for the perfect drive

Plan your mileage realistically: every booking includes free kilometres per day, and for longer tours an affordable mileage package pays off. Reserve popular dates – especially weekends and holidays – early. And if you're unsure which model suits you: the Golf GTI Clubsport is the ideal entry thanks to front-wheel drive, the Audi RS 3 the choice for anyone after maximum performance and the unmistakable five-cylinder sound.

Where can I collect the car?

Pickup is at our station at Industriehof in Frankfurt – central and easy to reach via the A66. Need the car somewhere else, in Wiesbaden, Mainz, Darmstadt or Hanau, for example? A transfer within the Rhine-Main region can be arranged on request – our support team confirms availability and any extra charge, transparently and with no surprises.

Avoiding common mistakes when renting

A few pitfalls are easy to avoid: don't book too tightly, because popular cars go quickly at weekends. Don't underestimate the kilometres – calculate a little generously and add a package if needed. Before setting off, check the handover record and document existing wear. And return the car fully refuelled so your deposit comes back without deductions. With this short checklist your rental runs smoothly.
