Default Any place in London or Milan/Lake Commo where Audi's can be rented? Esp S6

I'm in Europe for a quick holiday, and saw an A6 on the way in from airport, and I agree with previous posts about the bumpers, they should be painted. And the larger US bumpers do add some character, here they look to "demure". Also noticed this A6 didn’t have the headlight washers. I suppose it’s an option over here.

So I was wondering if there's any place around (London, Milan, Lake Commo) where one could rent an S6. Also, for lack of a better word, do the dealerships allow enthusiasts to go on a "test drive" though the chance of a purchase are directly correlated with my chances of winning the lottery" and moving over here.

Just curious- Thanks in Advance,
Ernesto

Default Two suggestions ..

1) Ask the hotel your staying at to see if they can find one

2) Grab a copy of Car or Evo and there are usually a few ads for performance car rentals. Give them a call and if they don't have them ask for suggestions.

Good luck, I tried to do this when I was in Stuttgart where the S6 comes from and no one rented them :-( Hopefully, you may have better luck in the UK.<p>Dion

Default Have you surfed yet?

I once found a company on the East Coast that rented all these "prestige" cars all over Europa. Be prepared to pay big money ... and don't forget how much more gasoline is.

Default When you compare Euro gas $ to California gas $, the difference is worth it ...

if you can drive on the AutoBahn. $60 US to fill the tank, versus my $40 in the San Francisco bay area.

I'm only in Europe for a couple of days, but I'll call some of the big name hotels when in Italy and they might be able to help out.

Thanks for the ideas,
Ernesto
