Sports car rental in France

A week of coastal runs, mountain passes and city arrivals in a sports car — Rent-Trip delivers the keys to you in Paris, so the drive starts at your hotel, the airport or wherever your trip begins. Our sports car rental in France runs on 6 cars, from €450 per day: Alpine A110, Ford Mustang, Porsche 911, Lamborghini Huracan, Lamborghini Urus and Ferrari 488 GTB, all gasoline, all automatic.

What sports car rental in France with Rent-Trip includes

Rent-Trip runs a sports car fleet of six cars, from €450 to €1,300 per day. We deliver the car to you, and the booking is agreed with a manager rather than completed by an automated checkout.

Six sports cars delivered to you

We deliver the car to the client, and every booking is agreed with a manager — our operations here are based in Paris, and the delivery address and time are confirmed in the rental agreement, not picked from a list on the website. The fleet on this page is six cars: Alpine A110, Ford Mustang, Porsche 911, Lamborghini Huracan, Lamborghini Urus and Ferrari 488 GTB. The first two start at €450 per day, the Porsche 911 at €750, both Lamborghinis at €1,200 and the Ferrari 488 GTB at €1,300. Because the hand-over is arranged with a person, the schedule around it is agreed too — we fix the details when you book, and they sit in the agreement you sign. In our experience, travellers flying in for a weekend ask for the car at the terminal exit; that request is worth raising early, since the slot is agreed with the manager rather than reserved instantly.

What every car in our French sports fleet has in common

• Fuel: all six cars run on Gasoline — there is no diesel and no hybrid in this class.
• Transmission: every model is Automatic, so no manual gearbox appears anywhere in the fleet.
• Seats: two, four or five — the two-seaters are the Huracan, the Ferrari 488 GTB and the Alpine A110.
• Body: five are Coupés; the Lamborghini Urus is the only SUV in the group.
• Drive: four send power to the rear wheels; the Huracan and the Urus drive all four.

An automatic gearbox is not an optional extra here but the standard across the class. Manual cars are ordinary on French rental lots, so an automatic is a separate and costlier category — worth knowing if you are comparing the headline rate of a smaller car against this one.

Sports car rental in France prices and how longer bookings work

Sports car hire with Rent-Trip runs from €450 to €1,300 per day, and longer bookings follow two fixed multipliers: a week is the daily rate multiplied by six, a month by twenty-one. Nothing here is a quote you have to request before you can plan.

Daily rates by model

Price tracks output and drivetrain rather than badge: 300 hp in the Alpine A110 and 450 hp in the Ford Mustang both sit at €450, while the 670 hp Ferrari 488 GTB sits at the top of the range. In our experience the two €450 cars get booked first for weekend trips out of Paris, so if either one is the point of the trip, it is worth fixing the dates early rather than late.

Weekly and monthly rates

Weekly rates start from €2,700 and monthly rates from €9,450. Both figures come from the same daily price with a fixed multiplier — daily × 6 for a week, daily × 21 for a month — so the arithmetic is the same whether you take the Alpine A110 at €450 a day or the Lamborghini Urus at €1,200. A month in the Ferrari 488 GTB therefore works out at €27,300, and a week in the Porsche 911 at €4,500. Because the multiplier never changes, you can compare a short and a long booking on paper before you commit to either, and the number you see is the number the manager confirms.

What the rental agreement sets out about deposit and delivery fees

The deposit, the excess and the delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement, not on this page. We do not publish them as a headline figure, because each one depends on the level of protection you choose and on where the car is handed over — the amount that applies to your booking is confirmed with the manager before you commit. The same agreement carries the fuel policy and the mileage terms for your booking. Ask for the full breakdown while the dates are still being agreed: it is easier to change the level of protection then than after the booking is confirmed.

Choosing a model from our sports car rental fleet in France

Six sports cars make up this class, and the choice between them comes down to three things: how many seats you need, whether you want rear- or all-wheel drive, and how much power you are comfortable handling on a long drive.

Rear-wheel drive coupés in our fleet

Alpine A110, Ford Mustang, Porsche 911 and Ferrari 488 GTB are rear-wheel drive coupés with engines from 1.8 L to 3.9 L. The Alpine A110 is the lightest and most compact of the four at 300 hp, while the Mustang pairs a 5.0 L V8 with 450 hp and four seats. The Porsche 911 sits in the middle at 385 hp from 3.0 L, and the Ferrari 488 GTB tops the group at 670 hp from 3.9 L. Rear-wheel drive and a small displacement give sharper steering on mountain roads, but they ask for a gentler right foot in the rain. If your route includes the Alpine passes in wet weather, book a car with traction control you can leave switched on.

All-wheel drive options for your booking

Lamborghini Huracan and Lamborghini Urus are all-wheel drive, at €1,200 per day each. The Huracan is a two-seat coupé with a 5.2 L engine and 640 hp; the Urus is an SUV with five seats, a 4.0 L unit and 650 hp. Both put power down through all four wheels, which matters on damp cobbles and on the gravel shoulders of vineyard roads. The Urus is the only model in this class with five seats, so it is the one to take when the whole group travels together. In our experience, the Urus is also the easier car to park in an underground garage — its raised driving position makes the tight ramps less stressful than they look.

Matching the car to the trip

• Two seats, pure driving: Alpine A110, Lamborghini Huracan or Ferrari 488 GTB — luggage space is limited to soft bags.
• Four seats, everyday comfort: Ford Mustang or Porsche 911 — enough room for two adults and two children.
• Five seats, group or family: Lamborghini Urus — the only SUV in the class, with the largest boot.
• Long motorway runs: Porsche 911 or Lamborghini Urus — both feel settled at sustained speed.
• Short city hops: Alpine A110 — the smallest footprint of the six.

Every model runs on Gasoline with Automatic transmission, and each is delivered to you; the booking is agreed with a manager. If you are unsure which one suits your route, ask before confirming — swapping a two-seat coupé for the Urus after the agreement is drawn up is more complicated than choosing correctly the first time.

Documents for sports car rental in France

The paperwork for sports car rental in France is short, but one rule catches most visitors: the licence must have been issued more than a year ago, and digital licences are not accepted by rental companies here. Bring the physical card, and check the issue date before you fly.

Which licences are accepted for sports car rental in France

• EU/EEA licences: valid in France with no time limit, and no exchange for a French licence is required while the card remains valid.
• Non-EU/EEA licences, visitor: you may drive on your national licence; if it is not in Latin script, you need an official translation or an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside it.
• IDP alone: the permit does not replace your licence — it is only a translation and is shown together with the national card.
• Non-EU/EEA licences, resident: driving is allowed for 1 year from the entry date shown in your visa; if you move to France permanently, the licence must be exchanged.
• Hold period: the licence must have been issued more than 1 year ago.
• Digital licences: not accepted.
• IDP validity for rental: the international permit must be no older than 3 years.

What else is checked, and what is agreed when booking

The remaining conditions are set out in the rental agreement rather than by a single national rule — so we confirm them with you when your booking is agreed with a manager. The same applies to the deposit, the excess and delivery fees: they are set out in the rental agreement, not published as a fixed figure. In our practice, the licence issue date is the single most common reason a hand-over stalls, so tell us about it at booking and we will flag a problem before the car is dispatched. If your licence was issued less than a year ago, no amount of extra paperwork fixes it — the booking simply cannot go ahead.

One more point for anyone planning a longer stay: the 1-year window for residents runs from the visa entry date, not from the day you collect the car. Keep the entry stamp or visa page to hand if you are renting close to that boundary.

Insurance and excess in sports car rental in France

Insurance for a sports car works on the same structure as any other class: liability cover is compulsory and included, collision and theft protection come with the basic package, and everything above that is a matter of how much excess you are willing to carry yourself.

What insurance is included as standard

• responsabilité civile: compulsory under French law and included in every booking automatically; it covers injury and property damage caused to third parties within the country's legal limits, but not injuries to the driver.
• CDW / collision damage protection: included in the basic package from French companies; it limits your liability to the excess amount and covers repair of the car plus the days it sits off the road.
• TW / theft protection: included in the basic package; it covers theft, attempted theft and vandalism in a car park, also up to the excess.
• franchise (excess): the fixed sum you pay yourself after damage or theft; it is non-waivable and set by the protection level you choose, and the exact figure stands in the agreement.

What the basic cover leaves out

Base protection stops short in several places, and on a sports car those places are worth knowing before you drive off. Tyres damaged through abnormal use are not covered, nor is glass unless it broke in a collision, nor the sunroof and panoramic roof, nor the underside of the car. Filling the tank with the wrong fuel and the engine damage that follows is excluded, as are lost or stolen keys, damage from negligence, and anything deliberate. The excess is set out in the rental agreement, and it stays the same whether the bill is small or large.

Reducing or removing the excess

• rachat de franchise: a paid option at booking; the Medium package lowers the excess, and Premium removes it or reduces it substantially.
• Bank card cover: Visa Premier and Gold Mastercard often cover the CDW/TW excess if the holder is the main driver on the agreement — worth checking with your bank before you book.

The figure for the excess, the deposit and the delivery fee is not published in advance: it depends on the protection level you pick, so ask the manager to confirm it before the booking is agreed. That is the one number on this page that changes with your choice rather than with the model.

Rules and restrictions for sports car rental in France

Speed limits are set by the Code de la route, and they apply to every sports car in our fleet the same way they apply to a hatchback. Built-up areas run at 50 km/h under Code de la route, art. R413-3, though a préfecture can raise that to 70 km/h on individual stretches. Outside built-up areas the limit is 80 km/h on an ordinary road, and 90 km/h on sections with two lanes in one direction where the département has decided so — Code de la route, art. R413-2. Dual carriageways with a central divider allow 110 km/h, and autoroutes 130 km/h, both under the same article.

Rain, low visibility and young drivers

• Rain: autoroute 110 km/h, dual carriageway 100 km/h, other roads 80 km/h — Code de la route, art. R413-2.
• Visibility under 50 m: 50 km/h on every road — Code de la route, art. R413-4.
• Permis probatoire (under 3 years' experience): 110 km/h on autoroutes, 100 km/h on divided roads, 80 km/h elsewhere — Code de la route, art. R413-5.
• Alcohol, general limit: 0.5 g/l of blood (0.25 mg/l of breath) — Code de la route.
• Alcohol, permis probatoire: 0.2 g/l of blood (0.10 mg/l of breath) since 1 July 2015; breaking it costs €135, six points and possibly your licence.

The boulevard périphérique around Paris dropped to 50 km/h on 1 October 2024 by decision of the Paris city hall, even though the Code de la route still permits up to 70 km/h there. The change was phased in: the inner ring from porte des Lilas to porte d'Orléans on 1 October, the whole périphérique by 10 October. A reserved left lane between the Issy riverbank and porte de Bercy, both directions, is open to cars carrying 2 or more passengers Monday to Friday 7:00–10:30 and 16:00–20:00 — an experiment running since 3 March 2025, enforced with a €135 fine (contravention 4th class) from 2 May 2025.

Winter tyres are compulsory from 1 November to 31 March in roughly 34 mountain départements — the Alps, Pyrenees, Massif Central, Jura, Vosges and Corsica — covering more than 4000 communes by préfet decision: either four winter tyres or chains/socks on two driven wheels. Paris and Île-de-France are not included, so the rule does not apply to a car collected here, but it does follow you into the Alps. Ignoring it brings a €135 fine and the vehicle immobilised. On a 640 hp Lamborghini Huracan or a 670 hp Ferrari 488 GTB the throttle is the easy part; the limits above are what actually decide your day.

Booking sports car rental in France with a manager

Booking a sports car with Rent-Trip is a conversation, not a checkout form: you tell us the dates, the city and the model, and a manager confirms what we can hand over, where and when. Nothing is charged and nothing is reserved until that confirmation comes back to you.

How the booking conversation works

• First contact: you send the dates, the city and the car you want — Alpine A110, Ford Mustang, Porsche 911, Lamborghini Huracan, Lamborghini Urus or Ferrari 488 GTB.
• Manager's reply: we check the car against your dates and come back with what is actually free, not with a queue position.
• Agreement of details: the delivery address, the delivery time and the hand-over point are agreed with the manager and then written into the rental agreement.
• Confirmation: only after that does the booking become fixed, and the deposit, the excess and any delivery fees are set out in the same rental agreement.

Why we keep a manager in the loop

Sports cars are a thin fleet — six cars on this page against 754 across the whole site — so availability moves fast and a self-service calendar would oversell the same Huracan twice in one weekend. A manager also catches the mismatches a form cannot: a two-seat coupé booked for a family of four, or a Ferrari 488 GTB requested for a date when the Urus is the only five-seat car free. In our practice, the questions that come up most are about delivery timing and about what the agreement covers, and both are answered before anything is signed rather than at hand-over. If you need the car near a specific point in Paris, say so in the first message — the address is agreed when booking, not chosen from a list on the site.

What to have ready before you write

• Dates and length: daily, weekly or monthly — a week starts from €2,700 and a month from €9,450, both counted from the daily rate.
• City: we operate in Paris, and the car is delivered to you at the address agreed when booking.
• Model preference: name the car, or describe the trip and we will suggest the body style that fits it.
• Driver details: licence and age questions are settled with the manager while the booking is still open, so nothing blocks the hand-over later.

The booking is agreed with a manager precisely so that the awkward details — dates, address, timing, paperwork — are settled while they are still easy to change. Send the request early: with six sports cars in the fleet, the popular weekends go to whoever asked first.
