Hertz has started relationship with Porsche Cars North America to offer Panamera sport sedans in select locations in California, Florida and Nevada. Panamera will be part of Hertz Prestige Collection Fleet. Based on the list price mentioned in their press release and Hertz Vehicle Guide 27 mpg rating hints that Panamera model to be offered will be V6.
Avis Germany have been offering Porsche vehicles in Germany several years and their models are mainly top of the model range with good list of options. I hope Hertz will not make the mistake offering just entry level base trip versions. Would like to see other Porsche vehicles (911, Boxster, Cayman) to be added to Hertz fleet.
Panamera rental prices start $250 per day. I searched price for two day rental from Los Angeles Airport (LAX). Currently LAX was the only location where I could find availability. Daily rate for weekday rental was $299.49 USD with 100 miles included per day. Additional miles cost .39 USD. And then you need to add all taxes and fees (don’t forget insurance CDW/LDW). Price will probably come down using AAA CDP or other CDP discount codes which you might have.
You need to book for 5 days and needs to include sat-sut night. Extra km are charged 1 eur / km. Airport and railway station locations add 20% location surcharge.

None of the major car rental companies in Germany currently offers new BMW M5 (F10) in their fleet. However if you are going to Munich Germany (BMW Headquarters) you can rent BMW M5 along with other exciting BMW models like M3, 6-series Coupe / Cabrio, Z4 35i, 550i (F10), 335i Cabrio, 335i Coupe, 135i Cabrio, 135 Coupe, X5 M, X6 M. These cars can be rented from BMW Welt as part of BMW On Demand program. BMW On Demand is BMW’s Driving experience program and is offered exclusively at BMW Welt (Munich Germany).
How it works.
You can only book one month in advance
Minimum booking is one hour. 3 hour booking gives you daytime rental from 09:00 (9AM) to 17:00 (5PM) or nightime from 17:00 (5PM) to 09:00 (9AM) next day.
One hour rental comes with 150km per paid hour. Daytime rental (3 paid hours) or Nightime rental (3 paid hours) comes with 450km. Whole day rental (24 hours) is charged 6 hours and comes with 900 km.
Rental terms and conditions state that maximum rental time is 24 hours but you seem to be able to book longer periods – I dont know how they will handle these situations. But to rent for longer periods it probably makes more sense to rent from Sixt (M3 from 99 eur per day).
Example prices
M5 09:00 (9AM) to 17:00 (5PM) costs 210 eur and comes with 450 km’s. (see example below)
