Renting a sports car isn’t just about getting from point A to point B, it’s about the experience.
The sound of the engine, the precision of performance, the sheer thrill of acceleration, few things come close.
If this is your first time exploring sports car rental in London, this guide will take you through everything you should know before picking up the keys.
Step 1: Start with the Right Company
Not all rental companies are created equal. When choosing a sports car rental service, look for a provider that offers premium vehicles, transparent policies, and a focus on customer experience.
At Prestige Collection, our fleet features some of the world’s most admired performance brands including Porsche, Aston Martin, BMW, Bentley, Mercedes and Ferrari - all maintained to the highest standard.
Each vehicle is inspected before every handover, ensuring that your first drive feels as good as a brand new car.
Step 2: Know What You Need to Bring
Sports car rentals require a bit more paperwork than your average vehicle.
Make sure you have the following ready:
-
A valid driver’s licence (UK or international)
-
A passport or photo ID
-
A credit or debit card for the deposit
At Prestige Collection, we also perform a quick security check before confirming each booking to ensure a smooth, secure process.
Step 3: Understand the Insurance and Excess
Every sports car in our fleet comes with an insurance excess, meaning renters are responsible for any damages up to that limit.
It’s important to read this section of your agreement carefully. It’s not complicated, but it’s crucial to know your level of responsibility.
Step 4: Book Ahead
Unlike standard rentals, sports cars aren’t always available at short notice.
To guarantee your preferred model, please make your reservation at least two hours before pickup.
This allows our team to perform detailed checks, prepare your vehicle, and have it ready for you in perfect condition.
Step 5: Inspect the Car Together
Before you drive away, we’ll walk you through a visual inspection of the car.
It’s quick, simple, and ensures both sides agree on the vehicle’s condition. You’re welcome to take photos as an extra record. A great habit for any type of rental.
Step 6: Get to Know Your Car
Every sports car feels unique. That’s part of the appeal. Spend a few moments familiarising yourself with the car’s controls, including drive modes, paddle shifters, and parking sensors.
Our team is always happy to give you a quick demonstration before you set off.
Step 7: Enjoy the Experience
From the city streets of London to scenic routes through Surrey and beyond, a sports car rental isn’t just transportation. It’s a statement.
Plan a route that lets you truly appreciate the performance and comfort of your car, and enjoy the drive at your own pace.
Step 8: Drive with Respect
A sports car is built for precision and power, but it’s also a responsibility. Treat it with care, drive within the law, and enjoy the thrill the way it was meant to be safely and confidently.
