Extra Information and Frequently Asked Questions regarding the 'All Inclusive' rental packages:
What if I have a Jahreskarte (season pass) or I just don't want the tickets included in the price?
Absolutely no problem, we'd invite you to book a car using the prices and forms for the Trackday rentals. The prices shown in that section do not included lap tickets or fuel. Click here for 'basic' Trackday Car Rental Prices.
How many drivers can share a car?
Normally cars are shared by up to two drivers. Three is possible, but not recommended. If you want more drivers than the two included, we will charge an admin fee of up to €150 per extra driver. Time is very limited on a busy public session, and with four drivers in one car it can often be a struggle to each do just one lap in a full day.
Am I insured?
Yes. Each RSR car is insured for up to €6 million of third-party damages while driving on the public roads and specifically the Nordschleife during Touristenfahrten. This policy does NOT cover your own health and damages. There are still excesses to pay for both third-party claims as well as damages to your rental car. For third-party claims the excess is set at €5000. For damage to the rental car, your liabilites will be restricted to the excess amounts set out in the rental contract. These are currently €8000 for the Clios and Alfas, €15000 on the Meganes, €35000 on the BMW M3, €50000 on the GT3 Cup car and €75000 for the GT3RS.
Can I take passengers with me?
You are free to take passengers with you as the Nordschleife during touristenfahrten is classed as a public road. However we would caution any customer to remember the following points; 1) Motorsports are dangerous 2) Taxi driving during TF is strictly forbidden and suspected offenders are regularly banned without argument - if you do take several friends passenger for laps you may be asked to either stop taking passengers or leave the circuit completely.
What if I book the car but the track isn't open?
If the track doesn't open during your booked period we will either reschedule your booking for free or refund you minus credit card transfer fees.
What if I fail to use all the laps in my budget?
We are not in the habit of upsetting customers, and we will do our best to reschedule your laps, but we make no guarantees. If you cannot complete your booking for whatever reason (track shuts early due to accident, you get lost, your lunch takes too long etc...) we are not obligated to offer you a refund in any form.
Can I take the Evening rental on a weekend?
No, the Evening rental is a special deal only valid on weekday nights.
What if I want to do more laps than the package allows?
The extra lap costs are detailed in the far-right column of the table above. These prices include the extra miles on the car, as well as extra fuel and extra lap tickets.
What if it rains on the day I want to drive?
We offer no refunds or rescheduling for the onset of wet weather. This is the Eifel and it's very often wet!
Why can't I just turn up and drive the Porsches or M3 on my first visit?
Because we value your health and your wealth! Driving the Nordschleife is unlike driving any other circuit on Earth. It's dangerous and difficult. Experience on other tracks, or experience with a supercar on the road will not automatically make you safer on the Nordschleife. Many of the serious crashes occur here within the first few laps of the day, with both experienced and novice drivers crashing alike. Until you honestly know the circuit 100%, anything faster than the Clio or R26.R will be a waste. Blind crests are blind crests, no matter how much horsepower you have under the pedal. If you want to drive a fast car on your first visit you need to book instruction via one of our special training days.
How many laps will I do in a day/2hrs/half a day?
Most first-time visitors will struggle to do more than two laps back-to-back. Your first lap will be a 15-minute blur of hard concentration and adrenaline. And nine 'sessions' later it'll only be more demanding, not less! Queues and closures during TF will also conspire to reduce your track time. If you want to do 12 laps in a day, check out our Trackdays instead.
