High-performance car rental: a Porsche a day avoids boredom

Posted by admin

If you really want to drive a performance car but aren’t really sure you want to risk that kind of cash on the road, you may want to scratch that itch through a performance car rental. Renting a performance car, while very expensive in itself, doesn’t come close to the kind of monetary and personal investment it takes to buy one.

We’ll give you an idea of ​​the rates, because what fun it would be not to know what this type of rental costs, based on a Monday-Thursday rental. However, it’s good to keep in mind that these cars usually come with very strict mileage costs. Most car rental companies will give you 100 miles for free, but it’s $1.00 per mile thereafter. Not only will these beauties be rented out to pimple-faced teens; there are age restrictions and hefty security deposits. They vary from one performance car rental company to another, but the age restriction is usually 21-25 and down payments can start at $5,000.

Also, when looking to rent a performance car, remember that the term exotic is relative and includes what you would consider performance and luxury cars. That’s why in most of these fleets you’ll find the Hummer H2 and Cadillac Escalade alongside a more “exotic” vehicle.

We will now reveal some of the performance car rental rates we were able to find.

The Ford Mustang Shelby GT-H is high enough performance to go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.9-4.3 seconds, with a top speed of 195 MPH. Their rental rate is about $150 USD per day, and you can rent one from Hertz.

You can rent a Hummer H2 for around $229 USD per day. You can drive this to your mountain or coastal retreat and look a lot better doing it than you would in a standard SUV.

Maybe you’d rather head to that retreat in your backpacking or sunbathing gear stowed away in the back of a Cadillac Escalade. That will set you back around $330 USD per day.

The Porsche 911 Turbo is a high-performance rental car with a 480-horsepower twin-turbo engine. Zero to sixty MPH in 3.7 seconds at a top speed of 193 MPH will set you back around $499 USD per day.

Renting an Aston Martin Vantage will set you back around $745 USD per day. This car goes from zero to 60 MPH in about 5.1 seconds, with a top speed of 175 MPH.

Bracing behind the wheel of a Dodge Viper for performance-car thrills on twisty roads will set you back around $749 per day. It’s worth at least a day to experience the serious sports car power of the Viper’s V10.

At $1450 USD per day, the Lamborghini Murcielago is the king performance car on our list. It boasts twelve 580-horsepower cylinders, does zero to sixty MPH in less than four seconds with a top speed of over 200 MPH. Renting one of these cars can be more than exhilarating and save you the cost of spending a lot of money only to find that your performance car is giving you leg cramps. Plus, you can get a much tougher test drive through performance car rental than any of the dealerships would allow under normal circumstances.
