Sports car rental in London

If you need sports car rental in London, we have 11 sports cars available from £404 a day, all petrol and automatic, with weekly bookings from £2,424 and monthly from £8,484. We deliver the car to any address in the city and to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City and Southend airports, with the delivery address, date and time agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.

What Sports Car Rental in London Puts on the Road

Our sports car rental in London lists 11 cars across 7 brands, all petrol and all automatic, from £404 to £1,436 a day. Four body styles, three seat counts and two drivetrains cover everything from a weekend in the Cotswolds to a single evening in Mayfair.

The Full Line-Up at a Glance

Six of the 11 are coupes, so the shape you picture is the shape you usually get — the odd ones out are three sedans, a hatchback and a convertible.

Two Seats, Four or Five

Two cars seat two, five seat four and four seat five, so passenger count decides more of the shortlist than badge does. The Jaguar F-Type and Audi R8 Spyder are the two-seaters — the F-Type a coupe at £404 daily, the R8 Spyder a convertible at £840. The four-seat group is the widest: Porsche 911 Carrera S, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Nissan GT-R, Aston Martin DB11 and Porsche 911 Turbo. Five seats come in the BMW M5, Audi RS7, BMW M3 and Mercedes-Benz AMG E63 S — the only four cars here that take a full back row of adults without an argument.

A 2-seat coupe leaves no room for luggage behind the seats, so check boot space before you fix a four-seat car for a long weekend. In our experience the four-seat coupes swallow a weekend bag each and nothing more, while the five-seat sedans take two large cases without folding anything down.

Choosing Your Model for Sports Car Rental in London

All 11 cars on this page run on petrol and all 11 have an automatic gearbox, so the choice comes down to seats, drivetrain and how much power you actually want on the road. The spread runs from £404 to £1,436 a day.

The Cheapest Way Into Sports Car Rental in London

The Jaguar F-Type is the cheapest car on this page at £404 a day; the BMW M5 at £500 adds 5 seats, 600 hp and all-wheel drive. It is also one of the four five-seat bodies here — a sedan that takes three passengers in the back without asking anyone to fold up, and the 4.4 L twin-turbo V8 moves it with a composure that a lighter coupe cannot match on a damp morning.

Weekly booking on the M5 starts at £3,000, which is the daily rate multiplied by six. In our experience the M5 is the car people book when they want the performance without giving up a rear bench — and all-wheel drive puts 600 hp down in the wet far more calmly than a rear-drive car of the same output, which is worth knowing for an autumn weekend.

Rear-Wheel Drive or All-Wheel Drive

Seven of the 11 cars are all-wheel drive and four are rear-wheel drive, and every one of them is automatic and petrol.

• All-wheel drive: BMW M5, Audi RS7, Mercedes-Benz AMG E63 S, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Audi R8 Spyder, Nissan GT-R and Porsche 911 Turbo.
• Rear-wheel drive: Jaguar F-Type, Porsche 911 Carrera S, BMW M3 and Aston Martin DB11.
• Power range: from 380 hp in the Jaguar F-Type to 650 hp in the Porsche 911 Turbo S.
• Engine size: 3.0 L in the F-Type, Carrera S and M3, up to 5.2 L in the R8 Spyder.
• Gearbox: automatic across all 11 cars, so nobody is hunting for a clutch in city traffic.
• Fuel: petrol only — no diesel or hybrid option appears on this page.

Rear-wheel drive rewards a dry road and a light right foot; if the forecast is wet, the all-wheel-drive cars are the safer pick for the same money.

Matching the Car to the Trip

A 2-seat coupe leaves no room for luggage behind the seats — check boot space before you fix a four-seat car for a long weekend, because the rear bench in a coupe is often shallower than the seat count suggests.

How Sports Car Rental in London Works From Booking to Hand-Over

Rent-Trip does not run a counter you queue at. Rent-Trip brings the car to the address you give us, agrees the details with a manager first, and hands over a clean car with a full tank. Two things decide how smoothly it goes: where the car has to arrive and when you want it.

Delivery to Your Door or Your Terminal

• Any address locally: the car comes to your hotel, flat or office, wherever you are staying for the trip.
• Heathrow Airport (LHR): 30.3 km by road from the centre, about 45 minutes without traffic.
• Gatwick Airport (LGW): 48.6 km by road, roughly 70 minutes without traffic.
• Stansted Airport (STN): 57.9 km by road, about 63 minutes.
• Luton Airport (LTN) and London City Airport (LCY): 56.9 km and 14.5 km by road respectively, around 63 and 33 minutes without traffic.
• Southend Airport (SEN): 67.4 km by road, about 74 minutes without traffic.

Somewhere outside these places is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site. In our practice, that is the one request worth raising before you build a plan around it — a hotel on the far side of the M25 is a different job from a Mayfair address, and the manager will say honestly whether it can be done.

What the Manager Agrees Before the Booking Is Fixed

The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. Nothing is confirmed until that conversation closes, and the slot is the part other bookings compete for — a Saturday morning at Heathrow is a busier ask than a Tuesday afternoon at a hotel in Canary Wharf. Fix the time slot first and the address second: it saves a second call, because the slot is what is actually scarce. Anything else that belongs to the booking — what is set out in the rental agreement, the deposit, the excess, delivery fees, what happens with road charges and penalties — is settled the same way, when booking, rather than assumed from the site.

The Hand-Over Itself

Every model here is automatic, from the Jaguar F-Type at £404 daily to the Porsche 911 Turbo at £1,436, so the hand-over is a matter of checking the tank and the time, not of working through a list of extras. The car comes clean with a full tank, and it goes back the same way: full-to-full. If it returns short of fuel, the missing petrol and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. No other fuel option is offered — there is no pre-paid tank and no full-to-empty arrangement to choose between. With 11 cars on this page all running on petrol, that rule is simple to keep: fill up before you hand the keys back and there is nothing to settle afterwards.

Who Can Drive a Sports Car Rental in London

The paperwork side of sports car rental in London is short: a full licence, the age and deposit terms agreed when you book, and a car that puts the driver on the right. What catches people out is the calendar.

Foreign Licences and How Long They Work

A full, valid foreign licence lets you drive in England, Wales and Scotland for 12 months from your last entry into Great Britain. That is the rule that matters most for a visitor, and it applies to the licence you already hold rather than to an international permit. The 12 months run from your last entry into the country, not from the day you collect the car. An expired or provisional document is not a full licence. In our experience the trap is a return visit: a licence that was perfectly fine in spring can be out of time by a winter trip, and the driver only finds out at the last minute. Count the months from your arrival date before you fix anything.

Age, Deposit and Excess

• Minimum age: the minimum age for a sports car and any young-driver surcharge are agreed when booking, not published as a fixed number.
• Deposit: the deposit and the insurance excess are set out in the rental agreement, so read them there rather than assuming a figure.
• Payment card: which cards we accept is agreed when booking — ask the manager before you travel, not at the kerb.
• Second driver: adding another driver, and what documents that needs, is agreed when booking.
• Licence check: the licence you hold is the one that counts; if it is not a full one, say so early.

Driving on the Left in a Right-Hand-Drive Car

Every car we supply is right-hand drive, because traffic here keeps left, as Highway Code rule 160 sets out. Rule 183 puts you closer to the left edge when turning, and at roundabouts rule 185 gives priority to traffic approaching from your right, with the circle taken clockwise. For a driver arriving from a left-hand-drive country the first ten minutes are the strange ones: the gear lever sits under your left hand, the mirror angles are wrong, and your instinct at a junction is to look the wrong way. Book a pick-up outside the peak rather than at the start of it — a quiet first mile on the approach road does more for your confidence than any amount of reading.

Speed, Alcohol and the Phone

Urban roads run at 30 mph (48 km/h) in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, single carriageways at 60 mph (96 km/h), dual carriageways and motorways at 70 mph (112 km/h); lit roads default to 30 mph unless signs say otherwise, and many zones here post 20 mph, so the sign beats the default every time. The alcohol limit in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is 80 mg per 100 ml of blood, 35 µg per 100 ml of breath and 107 mg per 100 ml of urine — Scotland's is lower at 50 / 22 / 67. Holding a phone, satnav or tablet is banned even while stationary at lights: £200 and 6 penalty points, and a driver within 2 years of passing loses the licence. Hands-free is allowed if the device blocks no view. Belts are mandatory where fitted, and children need a child seat until they reach 135 cm or turn 12, whichever comes first — up to £500. Set the satnav before you pull away.

Sports Car Rental in London Charges and Driving Rules

Every car on this page is petrol and automatic, and the rules that shape a drive here are set by Transport for London rather than by the car. Two charging schemes apply here — the ULEZ across all 32 boroughs and the Congestion Charge inside the Inner Ring Road — and a driver who has not checked the registration plate against them can collect a penalty notice before reaching the first corner.

Congestion Charge and ULEZ

• Congestion Charge: £18 a day if paid on the day of travel or in advance, £21 if paid by midnight on the third day after; it runs 07:00–18:00 Monday to Friday and 12:00–18:00 on Saturday, Sunday and bank holidays, inside the Inner Ring Road.
• ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone): £12.50 a day for vehicles that do not meet the standard, 24 hours a day, seven days a week except 25 December, across all 32 boroughs.
• Euro standards: petrol cars and vans must be Euro 4 or better, diesels Euro 6 — a petrol car registered from 2006 onward normally clears it.
• Penalty notices: a PCN is £180, reduced to £90 if paid within 14 days, and rises to £270 after a charge certificate.
• Checking the plate: the TfL vehicle checker confirms in a minute whether a specific registration is liable.

The Congestion Charge is not collected between 25 December and the New Year bank holiday inclusive, and the Cleaner Vehicle Discount for electric cars has ended — electric cars now pay £13.50 with Auto Pay instead of £18. Who covers charges, tolls and penalty notices on a rented car is agreed when booking, so settle it with the manager before you drive off.

Tolls, Tunnels and Motorway Rules

• Dartford Crossing (Dart Charge), M25: £3.50 per crossing for cars, class B, or £2.80 with pre-payment; pay by midnight the following day, with a £70 PCN reduced to £35 if paid within 14 days.
• Blackwall Tunnel and Silvertown Tunnel: £4.20 at peak — northbound 06:00–10:00 and southbound 16:00–19:00 on weekdays — and £1.55 off-peak with Auto Pay from 6:00 to 22:00 on weekdays and all day at weekends.
• Speed limits: 30 mph in built-up areas across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, 60 mph on a single carriageway, 70 mph on a dual carriageway and on a motorway; lit roads default to 30 mph unless signs say otherwise.
• City signs: many zones here post 20 mph, and the sign overrides the default — read them rather than assume.
• Left-hand traffic: every car we supply is right-hand drive, and the Highway Code asks you to keep left unless signs or markings direct otherwise.

The fleet on this page runs from the Jaguar F-Type at £404 daily to the Porsche 911 Turbo at £1,436, all petrol and automatic, so the plate check and the tunnel pre-payment are the two things to sort the evening before, not on the morning of the drive.

Phones, Belts and Alcohol

Holding and using a phone, satnav or tablet at the wheel is illegal even while stopped at lights: £200 and 6 penalty points, and a driver who passed the test less than 2 years ago loses the licence outright. Hands-free is allowed as long as the device does not block your view. Seat belts are compulsory where fitted, and children need a child seat until they reach 135 cm or turn 12, whichever comes first — the fine runs to £500. The alcohol limit in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is 80 mg per 100 ml of blood, 35 µg per 100 ml of breath and 107 mg per 100 ml of urine; Scotland is stricter at 50 / 22 / 67, so a drive north of the border changes the arithmetic.

Longer Bookings and the Terms of Sports Car Rental in London

The daily rate is the number most people compare when they look at sports car rental in London, but longer bookings run on two fixed multipliers: a week costs the daily rate times six, and a month costs the daily rate times twenty-one. Those are the only two longer-booking figures we quote, and they apply to every car on the page — from the Jaguar F-Type at £404 a day to the Porsche 911 Turbo at £1,436 a day.

What a Week or a Month Costs

• Weekly rate: daily rate multiplied by six — the BMW M5 at £500 a day comes to £3,000 for a week.
• Monthly rate: daily rate multiplied by twenty-one — the same BMW M5 comes to £10,500 for a month.
• Mid-range example: the Porsche 911 Carrera S at £495 a day runs to £2,970 weekly and £10,395 monthly.
• Top of the range: the Porsche 911 Turbo at £1,436 a day runs to £8,616 weekly and £30,156 monthly.
• No other multiplier: we do not quote a different long-stay figure, and we do not express these rates as a percentage or a share of separate days.

Fuel, Condition and the Rental Agreement

Every car on this page is petrol and automatic, and it comes to you clean with a full tank. The car must go back with a full tank as well — full-to-full is the only fuel option we offer, and no pre-paid tank or full-to-empty arrangement exists on the site. If the tank is short on return, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. The same agreement carries the deposit, the insurance excess, delivery fees and any discount: those are not figures we publish in advance, they are agreed when booking and written into the paperwork you get with the car. On a month-long booking that matters more than on a weekend — read the fuel and excess lines before you fix the dates, because they are the two items that move the final total furthest from the headline rate.

Longer bookings are also where the drivetrain choice pays off: seven of the 11 cars are all-wheel drive, which is the calmer pick once you are covering several hundred miles in changeable weather rather than one dry afternoon.

Terms That Are Settled at Booking

The rental agreement is where the deposit and excess live, and the same conversation sets the delivery address, the date and the time. Rent-Trip delivers to any address in the city and to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City and Southend airports; anything outside those places is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so raise it with the manager before you build a plan around it. In our experience the bookings that go smoothly are the ones where the dates and the return fuel level are settled first and the model choice second.

Why Travellers Pick Rent-Trip for Sports Car Rental in London

The choice usually comes down to three things: whether the car is the one you booked, whether it reaches you, and whether anyone picks up the phone before you commit. Rent-Trip is built around those three, and the fleet on this page is small enough — 11 cars, 7 brands — that we can tell you exactly what each one is.

What We Actually Hand Over

• The exact model: every car on this page is named — BMW M5, Jaguar F-Type, Audi RS7, Porsche 911 Carrera S, BMW M3, Mercedes-Benz AMG E63 S, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Audi R8 Spyder, Nissan GT-R, Aston Martin DB11, Porsche 911 Turbo — with its engine size, power and drivetrain stated before you book.
• One fuel and one gearbox: all 11 run on petrol and all 11 are automatic, so nothing about the driving experience is a surprise at hand-over.
• A clean car with a full tank: the car comes clean and full, and it goes back full — full-to-full, with the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee set out in the rental agreement if it is not.
• A price you can plan around: the range on this page runs from £404 to £1,436 a day, and longer bookings follow the same arithmetic — weekly from £2,424, monthly from £8,484.

The Car Comes to You

That covers the arrival case as well as the resident one: land in the morning, and the car is brought to the terminal, with the exact hand-over point agreed when booking. Places with their own page inside the delivery area — St Pancras & King's Cross, Euston, Paddington, Victoria, Waterloo, Canary Wharf, Wembley, ExCeL London, Mayfair — are all served the same way. Delivery outside the city and its six airports is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so ask before you build a plan on it.

A Manager, Not a Checkout

The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. In our experience that conversation is where most of the value sits: it is the moment to say the car is for a weekend run to the Cotswolds rather than a week of city driving, and to hear which of the 11 suits it. The minimum rental age, the young-driver surcharge, the deposit, the insurance excess and the cards accepted are all agreed at that point too — none of them is a fixed figure we publish, because they depend on the driver and the booking. Ask, and you get an answer before anything is committed.

What the Fleet Does Well

Six of the 11 are coupes, three are saloons, one is a hatchback and one is a convertible — so the shape you picture is usually the shape you get. Two cars seat two, five seat four and four seat five, which settles most shortlists faster than badge loyalty does. On my own reading of the list, the BMW M5 at £500 a day is the value pick of the page: 5 seats, 600 hp, all-wheel drive. And with seven of the 11 driving all wheels, a wet autumn weekend does not turn 600 hp into a liability.
