BMW M5 (F10) available for Rental Hertz Germany summer 2013

Hertz has added BMW M5 (F10) to their summer 2013 fleet

hertz-m5

 

In order to book BMW M5 from Hertz you need to call their reservations. Reservation cannot be done online. M5 reservation will go to “request” process which can take couple days.

I dont know which locations BMW M5 is available but I assume biggest Airports and some City locations.

Example prices (your price may vary depending on your possible CDP discounts etc).

1 day rental pickup/return Munich (MUC) Airport:
247 eur (250 km included, CDW with 1500 euro non-waivable excess)

3 day weekend rental starting from Thursday 17:00 to Sunday 17:00
497 eur (750 km included, CDW with 1500 euro non-waivable excess)

CDW is highly recommended and not really sure if they would even rent M5 without CDW. Deductible for BMW M5 without CDW is 85.000 euros (around $110k USD).  So I doubt that any credit card coverage would cover it. BMW M5 list price in Germany  is 103.500 eur without options.

I think Hertz had some mistake rates at first since they included 500 km per day (at least they claim it to be mistake rate).

Hertz telephone reservations:

Germany
Telephone number*: +49 1 805 333 535
* This is not toll free number. Costs 0.42 cents per minute. Youcan also call 24/7  Hertz US – International Reservations number

Opening hours:
Monday-Sunday 08:00 – 23:00 

Hertz US Reservations

+1-800-654-3131 (US or Canada)
+1-800-654-3001 (International)

Open 24/7.
