Every rate is a guide from-price, inc VAT. These cars come through a vetted partner — we confirm the car and the price with them before anything is agreed.

All prices are "from" prices. What you are quoted can move with availability, which supplier the car comes from, its age and exact specification, and how long you take it for. What binds is your written quote.

What you are hiring

A sports car hire covers the two-seat and 2+2 cars built around handling rather than outright speed — typically 300 to 550bhp, front or mid-engined, and narrow enough to enjoy on a British B-road. Day and weekend rates are lower than the supercar tier, and the driver criteria are usually less restrictive.

This is the most usable category on the site and, for a lot of people, the more enjoyable one. A sports car is small enough to place accurately on a real road, quick enough to be thoroughly entertaining, and comfortable enough that a three-hour drive is a pleasure rather than an achievement. It is also the category that most often converts someone from a one-off hire into a repeat one.

How is a sports car different from a supercar?

Width, height and attitude. A sports car is typically 100 to 150mm narrower and sits higher, so speed bumps, gravel drives and multi-storey ramps stop being a calculation. Power lands between 300 and 550bhp rather than 550 to 800. Visibility is usually far better, the boot takes a weekend's luggage, and there are often small rear seats. You give up drama; you gain the ability to use it.

Is a sports car the better hire for a British road?

On a genuinely good B-road, frequently yes. Most of the roads worth driving here — the Cotswold lanes, the Peak edges, the Denbighshire loop, the Highland single-track — are narrow, cambered and lined with walls or hedges. A car that fits the lane and can use most of its performance is more rewarding than one that spends the whole drive being carefully restrained.

What does a sports car hire cost?

Less than the supercar tier across the board: a lower monthly figure, usually a lower deposit and a lower insurance excess, on the same twelve-month minimum term. Every figure — the monthly, deposit, excess, mileage allowance, excess-mileage rate — is on the individual car's page before any form appears.

Which drivers do sports cars suit?

Anyone whose licence history clears the criteria for the specific car, which in this category is typically a lower bar than the mid-engined machinery. It is the sensible first hire: if you have never driven 500bhp on a wet Welsh morning, doing it in something narrow, predictable and forgiving is a better introduction than doing it in something two metres wide.

The driver criteria, the refundable deposit and the insurance excess differ car by car — see driver requirements for what is checked and how delivery works.

Which marques are in the sports car catalogue?

Each marque hub covers the whole catalogue for that manufacturer, not only this category.

If this is not quite the car

Supercars

Supercar hire means a mid-engined, two-seat car of roughly 550 to 800bhp that reaches 62mph in under three and a half seconds.

Convertibles

Convertible hire covers everything with a folding roof, from compact roadsters to full four-seat cabriolets and open-topped supercars.

Grand tourers

A grand tourer is a front-engined, two-door car built to cross a country quickly and comfortably: big engine, long gearing, a boot that takes two people's luggage, and usually a pair of occasional rear seats.

Sports car hire — common questions

Can I hire a manual sports car?

Where one is in the catalogue, yes — most modern performance cars are twin-clutch automatics, so manual examples are the exception rather than the rule. The transmission is listed in the specifications on every vehicle page, so filter on it rather than assuming.

Will four of us fit?

In a 2+2, only just, and only for short journeys — the rear seats in most sports cars are best treated as luggage space with seatbelts. If four adults need to travel any distance, a grand tourer or a luxury SUV is the honest answer.

Are these cars usable in winter?

Yes, with respect. Wide, high-performance tyres lose grip sharply in the cold and wet, and rear-wheel drive rewards a gentle first hour. Cars are supplied on their manufacturer-specified tyres; if you are hiring in December for a long trip, say so and we will point you at the four-wheel-drive options.

How much luggage will one take?

Typically two soft weekend bags, sometimes with the rear seats pressed into service. Hard cases are the problem, not volume — check the boot dimensions on the vehicle page before you commit to a golf trip.
