    Is there anywhere in Ireland I can rent a sports car?

    Specifically, I am looking to rent something like a Porsche 911 for a weekend.

    Anyone know of anywhere or anyone that will rent me a Porsche 911 for a weekend?

    You would probably buy the kit car equivilant cheaper than renting the real thing in this country if you are under 30!!!

    They don't appear to have a Porsche 911, but they have loads of others. Seen them on MPH on TG4, they rent in Ireland and UK.

    my cousins are looking at setting up a company here for renting cars.
    They are doing it in the uk with a bentley gtc, flying spur,gallardo spyder,m5,911 turbo and many other small cars like m3 etc and arriving soon is a black slr.

    They wantto do it here but the only problem is no one will insure these type of cars here for rental. :(

    Found a place in London (pricey when I cost in flights there and ferry back).

    Made a few phone calls and looks like there is no one in Ireland at all involved in super car rental i.e Porsche, Lambos etc. The reason is down to Insurance.

    There are 1000's of people who rent these type of cars in the uk but as i mentioned before the irish insurance market really need to cop on and reduce premiums and offer more packages like the uk. :)

    You can rent range rovers in ireland if you want?
