The Experience

So you're actually going to rent a Porsche for four days and just... drive it? Yeah, that's the whole thing. You pick up a Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 Roadster at your hotel in Zurich on day one — meet the team at 5pm, get the briefing, and then the car is yours. The deposit is CHF 3000 on your credit card, and you need to be at least 23 to drive it. After that, the road trip through the Black Forest High Road (Schwarzwaldhochstraße) is yours to pace.

The B500 winds through dense forest, past half-timbered villages, and along the edge of the Rhine Valley — it's one of Germany's oldest scenic routes, and it's built for a car like this. You'll stop where you want: Lake Titisee for a walk around the glacial water, the St. Blasien Dom if you want to see the third-largest dome in Europe rising 62 meters out of the forest, Triberg Waterfalls dropping 163 meters through woodland. Baden-Baden sits halfway through, a spa town with thermal baths and the kind of quiet that made Queen Elizabeth II visit. You stay one night there at the 5-star Maison Messmer, then drive on toward Stuttgart and the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen — over 80 cars from the 356 to modern racing prototypes, all in a building that looks like it was designed by someone who understands speed. After that, you head back to Zurich, where the car gets collected at your hotel.

The whole thing is 4 days, 2 nights in Zurich (5-star Renaissance Tower Hotel), 1 night in Baden-Baden. Comprehensive insurance is included, so is the GPS programmed with the route, so is a day-by-day road book in English and en route support if you need it — call or WhatsApp and someone picks up. All the mileage is covered. You're not arranging hotels or navigation or worrying about breakdown; you're just driving a beautiful car through one of Europe's best roads and stopping when the view tells you to.

Top questions

Do I need an international driving permit to rent a car in Switzerland and drive in Germany?

Your home country's driving license is usually valid for car rental in Switzerland and driving in Germany, but check your specific country's requirements before booking. Some insurers and rental companies ask for an International Driving Permit as backup; ask when you confirm your reservation.

What's included in the Porsche rental?

The 48-hour rental of the Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 Roadster, comprehensive car insurance, programmed GPS, all tour mileage, car delivery and collection at your hotel, and en route support via phone or WhatsApp. You pay a CHF 3000 deposit on your credit card at pickup.

Can I drive the Porsche on the autobahn without restrictions?

Yes. The itinerary includes a solid stretch of driving on the German autobahn, where speed limits are less restrictive than on other roads. The car is insured for autobahn driving, and your road book will guide you on the route and any local traffic rules.

What's the minimum age to drive the rental car?

You must be at least 23 years old to rent and drive the Porsche 718 Boxster.

Are meals included in the 4-day tour?

Meals are not listed as included. Your hotel stays (Renaissance Tower Hotel Zurich and Maison Messmer Baden-Baden) may offer breakfast; confirm with the tour operator what's provided at each property.

How long is the drive from Zurich to Baden-Baden?

The drive through the Black Forest High Road is roughly 2.5 to 3 hours depending on stops and your pace. The itinerary is self-guided, so you control the timing and where you pause.

What if I break down or have car trouble during the drive?

En route support is available 24/7 via phone or WhatsApp. The comprehensive insurance covers mechanical issues, and the tour operator will arrange assistance or a replacement vehicle if needed.

Is the Porsche convertible?

Yes, the Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 is a roadster with a retractable roof, so you can drive with the top down through the Black Forest.

Can I extend the rental beyond 4 days?

The itinerary includes a 48-hour rental period. Contact the tour operator before booking if you want to extend the rental; additional charges will apply.

Do I need to speak German to navigate the route?

No. The GPS is programmed with the route, and your day-by-day road book is in English, so you won't need to navigate by signs or speak German to follow the tour.
