ALL the major rental car companies have "spotters" looking for rental cars at the 'Ring.

IF they catch you... you are banned for LIFE to rent a car from that company.
Go check out APEX rentals. They are fair and awesome people. You don't want to rent anything fast... IF you don't want to crash on your first time there. You can also take a passenger "trainer" from APEX... which I would encourage you to do so. I'd say rent something like a Polo or Golf for your first 'Ring experience.
When you crash at the 'Ring... not only are you held responsible for your rental car... but for anyone that wrecks behind you bc of your accident. Also you can expect at least a 400 euro tow ride back to the parking lot AND you are responsible for any damaged guard rails. That usually starts at 1K euros per 50 meters of guard rail.
The best thing is to rent from a reputable, take out accident insurance and an instructor. Don't take a rental car from the airport. That's a big no no.
IF you want a speed rush... maybe pay for a 'Ring Taxi... they usually run about 300 euros and are a good way to "experience" the Green Hell.
Excuses! lol
Also be aware that the 'Ring isn't always open to TF(Tourist Fahrt) days. Either go check APEX's website or the Nurburgring's site for what days the track is open for TF.
