## What is a 718 Boxster S like to drive?

Balanced, in the literal sense. The engine sits between the axles rather than over one of them, so the car turns in cleanly and stays neutral for far longer than the numbers suggest it should. Steering weight and precision are the best part. It is quick rather than violent, and most drivers find they use more of it more of the time than they would in something with twice the power.

## Is the Boxster S usable for a weekend away?

Yes, for two people. There is a 150-litre boot under the bonnet and a 125-litre one behind the engine, which between them take a pair of soft weekend bags without argument. The roof folds in about nine seconds and can be operated at low speed, so a change in the weather costs you nothing. It is a two-seater, and that is the only real limitation.

## What does it cost to hire a 718 Boxster S?

A refundable £3,000 deposit is held and the insurance excess is £3,000. The allowance is 12,000 miles a year, with £1.50 a mile beyond that. Everything is inclusive of VAT and stated before you commit.

## Can I take a Boxster S on a track day?

Not under standard self-drive hire terms, because the insurance excludes circuit use. It can sometimes be arranged separately with the supplying partner, priced accordingly and agreed in writing beforehand. Tell us the circuit, the date and the organiser when you enquire and we will find out whether it is possible rather than assume.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you hire a Porsche 718 Boxster S in the UK?

Yes, on a sourced basis. We arrange it through vetted partners rather than supplying it from our own fleet, and a specific car and your dates are confirmed before anything is agreed.

### Is the 718 Boxster S a convertible?

Yes. It is a two-seat roadster with an electric fabric roof that folds in around nine seconds and can be operated at low speed, so you do not have to stop to put it up or down.

### How much luggage fits in a Boxster S?

275 litres in total, split between a 150-litre front boot and a 125-litre rear boot. That is two soft weekend bags. Hard suitcases are the thing that does not work.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*
