**Short-term supercar leasing means an agreement measured in months rather than the two to four years mainstream leasing is built on. Our floor is 3 months on every supercar, all of which are arranged through vetted partners and quoted on request. One month is paid up front, with 1,000 miles a month included.**

How short-term supercar leasing works in the UK, why supply rather than money is usually the obstacle, and where our terms are plainly not the loosest available.

## What counts as short term on a supercar?

A few months rather than a few years. Mainstream leasing is written over two to four years, so anything inside a year is short by the standards of the market, and anything inside three months has usually stopped being a lease and become a rental or a rolling subscription.

Our floor is three months, on every car, and it moved there on 13 October 2026. Below three months there is nothing here, and there is no day or weekend product sitting underneath it.

Be aware of what else is out there before you decide we are the right fit. Some providers in this segment will write one month, and some fold insurance into a single figure. We do neither, and if that is what you need then somebody else is the better answer.

## Why is supply the hard part, not the money?

Because a supercar is not a stock item. Every supercar in our catalogue — the 10 of them — is arranged through a vetted partner rather than held by us, and a partner's car is committed to real dates for real customers.

That has two consequences worth knowing before you enquire. The first is that the answer to "can I have a Revuelto from March" is a question about one specific vehicle rather than about a model. The second is that flexibility on your dates is worth more than flexibility on your budget.

It also means we do not publish a price for any of them. A car we do not hold cannot carry a figure we can stand behind, and a number invented to fill the gap is worth nothing to you the moment you try to book against it.

## What does a three-month supercar agreement look like?

The same shape as every other agreement here, with the segment's own weights attached to it.


3-month minimum term, with a monthly figure fixed for the whole of it.
One month up front, then one a month.
1,000 miles a month included. Excess mileage on the faster cars is at the top of the catalogue range, 95p to £10.
Delivered to your address and collected from one you choose, mainland Britain only.
A refundable security deposit held against a card in your own name, £1,500 to £50,000 across the catalogue and highest on exactly the cars you would expect.


The insurance arrangement on a partner-sourced car is set by whoever holds the vehicle, and it is confirmed with you in writing before anything is agreed rather than assumed from what the rest of the market does.

## Why does every supercar say "on request"?

Because the figure depends on the specific car, your term and your mileage, and none of those exist until you tell us. A published number would have to assume all three, and an assumption presented as a price is the thing this sector is criticised for.

What you get instead is a written quote against a named vehicle and named dates, with the deposit, the excess, the mileage and the delivery arrangement all on the same page as the monthly figure.

Nothing in our own fleet is a mid-engined supercar either, so this is not a presentational choice about the segment. Where the car is ours we are the ones confirming the figure, which is why it comes back faster and firmer; where it is a partner's we are waiting on the partner. That is the honest shape of the catalogue rather than a quirk of presentation, and [why prestige leases are quoted rather than listed](https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/guides/why-prestige-leases-are-quoted-not-listed) goes into why.

## What will stop you before the car does?

The driver criteria, usually, and they are stricter in this segment than anywhere else in the catalogue. Every supercar sets its minimum age at 28 or above and most ask for 30; 1 of the catalogue asks for 32. Licence-held requirements on the fastest cars run to eight and ten years, and points tolerance narrows as the car gets quicker — 6 cars tolerate three points and 1 tolerates none.

Age and licence history are two separate tests and the same driver has to pass both on the same car. A thirty-two-year-old who passed their test three years ago does not qualify for a car asking eight.

These figures are provisional pending final confirmation, and a partner-sourced car carries that partner's criteria, which we confirm with you in writing. [Driver age and licence rules](https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/guides/driver-age-and-licence-rules-for-prestige-cars) sets out how the bands work and what to do if you sit under one.

## What does it cost to run one for three months?

More than the monthly figure, and it is worth costing properly before you commit to a term rather than discovering it in month two.

Fuel on a large-capacity engine driven the way these cars invite is the obvious one. Tyres are the less obvious one: a set on a mid-engined car is not a set on a saloon, and even three months of enthusiastic use is long enough to matter. Then there is the Congestion Charge and ULEZ if you are in London, parking that will actually take a wide car, and somewhere secure to leave it.

Excess mileage is the one people underestimate. At the top of the 95p to £10 band, a few long trips beyond the allowance add up quickly, and mileage bought in advance is always cheaper than mileage settled at the end.

## Is three months the right instrument for a supercar?

Count the days first. Most people who lease a car like this drive it on a fraction of the days they have it, and three months of payments against fifteen or twenty real outings is a particular kind of purchase. Some will look at that and stop; others will point out that the whole value is the car being there on the morning you want it, which is not something a booking can deliver.

Both answers are defensible. What is not defensible is arriving at the figure by accident, which is what happens when the term is chosen to reach a monthly number rather than to match a use.

The honest alternative in this segment is a different car rather than a different term. A grand tourer or a fast SUV goes out on the same 3-month floor, costs less to run across a quarter, and some of them are cars we own rather than source — the [Lamborghini Urus](https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/cars/lamborghini-urus) and the [Mercedes-AMG G 63](https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/cars/mercedes-amg-g-63) among them, so the figure on either is ours to confirm rather than a partner's. [What a supercar is like to live with](https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/guides/can-you-lease-a-supercar-in-the-uk) covers the practical side of the choice.

## How do you start one?

Give us three things: the car or the kind of car, the date you want it, and roughly how long for. With a partner-sourced vehicle those three are what turn an enquiry into a real answer, and without them nothing can be checked.

We come back with what is genuinely available on your dates, which is sometimes the car you asked for and sometimes the nearest thing that is free. A written quote follows, and it holds.

Nothing is paid through this website — no card details, no deposit, no monthly payment. A person confirms every booking, and the car is delivered to you or collected by you.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I lease a supercar for one month?

Not with us. Three months is the shortest agreement we write on any car. Providers offering one month do exist in this segment, and if a month is genuinely what you need then one of them is the right answer rather than us.

### Is insurance included in the monthly figure?

Do not assume it either way. The arrangement that applies to your car is confirmed with you in writing before anything is agreed, and on a partner-sourced vehicle it is set by whoever holds the car. Ask the question at the quote stage and get the answer in writing.

### Does a short term cost more per month on a supercar?

Normally, yes, for the same reason it does on any car: the cost is spread across fewer payments. On a partner-sourced vehicle the figure also reflects what that specific car costs to hold and to put right, which is why it is quoted rather than listed.

### Do I need to have owned a performance car before?

There is no experience test as such. What is tested is age, licence history and endorsements, and on the fastest cars those bands are set high enough that they do a similar job. The criteria for a specific car are confirmed before anything is agreed.

### Can the term start on a specific date?

That is exactly the conversation to have first on a partner-sourced car. Dates drive availability far more than budget does, so tell us the date at the enquiry stage rather than after a figure has been discussed.

*Pre-launch note: the driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer. Read them as the shape of the figures rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your agreement.*
