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 basic rentals. The prices shown in that section do not included lap tickets or fuel.

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!

What car should I drive on my first visit?
Car choice depends a lot on your experience behind the wheel, familiarity of race tracks in general and your experience on the Nordschleife. 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%, you generally don't need anything faster than the 200hp RentaultSport Clio Cup or RenaultSport Megane R26.R / 250Cup. Blind crests are blind crests, no matter how much horsepower you have under the pedal. Let us know if you want to drive a fast car on your first visit, and we can organise some valuable instruction via one of our special training days.

What is the minimum age to rent a car from RSR?

The renters age is not key but a drivers license and the right attitude is! It also depends on the sort of day (weather, traffic levels, trackday or not) and experience, but even young drivers can drive the fastest cars. What we need to be assured of first however is that you are up to the job. We can do this by organising some private instruction or by starting you off driving in the lower powered cars first

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.

Basic Rental & Trackday Prices

All of our 50+ cars are available to hire on a 'basic' basis. Primarily these prices are used by customers driving a car in a trackday, but also by customers who have their own tickets for the Nordschleife public sessions. For more information and frequently asked questions about each package, please continue reading below the table.

IMPORTANT notes about a 'Basic' or 'Trackday' rental for the Nürburgring Nordschleife (or any other closed circuit):

  • Prices here DO NOT include fuel - please re-fill the car before returning it
  • Prices here DO NOT include lap tickets or track access fees
  • Packages are measured by distance driven and also by time

Extra Information and Frequently Asked Questions regarding hiring a 'basic' trackday package

What is the 2hr Sprint Package?
This is intended for those drivers looking to sample more than one car in a single day, or for those who are struggling to be at the 'Ring for a whole day. It is time-limited, and the car must be returned within 2 hours of pick-up from the workshop. Needless to say, when you consider the cost of entering a private trackday session on the Nordschleife (typically €550 per driver) it doesn't make much sense to take the car for so little time. Most drivers choose the 'Day' package.

What is the Endurance Package?
This package is aimed at drivers who are already very experienced on the Nürburging Nordschleife. With more laps purchased up front, it allows drivers to drive all day with less worries about racking up those excess miles. For most drivers, this 16 lap limit is too much. The average number of laps driven in one day is around 10 laps. That's 200kms of driving and nearly 3 hours of 'seat time' for the average driver. Remember that each lap of the 'ring is equivalent to a single session on a short circuit.

Can I use a 'trackday' package price in one of the public sessions?
You can, if you wish, use these prices for touristfahrt (public driving on the 'ring). Your car will be supplied with a full tank of fuel, but with no lap tickets. When returning the car, please remember to re-fill with the appropriate grade of fuel (usually RON 98) or you will be charged for the fuel and the labour too.
