Rent a sports car and enjoy freedom - how does it work and what should you watch out for?

[Display]

Drive a Ferrari once in a lifetime. This is the childhood dream of many men. Luxury cars are expensive to buy and all the more costly to maintain. Fuel, tires, maintenance, insurance and the like are an expensive pleasure. Accordingly, the man's dream can only be realized for an exclusive group of wealthy people. The solution is - rent a sports car. Renting one of these makes it possible for everyone to enjoy driving a luxury car once in a lifetime. You can find out how to find the right offer and what to look out for here.

Find a provider

In the age of digitization, rental car comparison portals are the first port of call when looking for the vehicle of your choice. One click delivers thousands of results. The targeted search for models, budget and equipment is possible. Often private individuals also rent their cars. In this way they finance their maintenance or earn an additional income. Such offers can be found especially on classifieds portals. Unfortunately, there are many fraudsters on these marketplaces who rip off unsuspecting customers, for example with dubious contract conditions or down payments. A sincere private landlord usually impresses with comparatively low prices. If you want to avoid complications and need a local contact, you should use local sports car rental companies. The high price and the limited choice of vehicle models are offset by excellent service and expert advice.

Check insurance coverage

Since it is not your own vehicle but a rental car, having self-drive rental insurance is essential. Without this, there is no insurance cover and you will be personally liable in the event of damage. In addition, it makes sense to read the general terms and conditions in detail before renting the sports car, as attractive offers often compensate for the low price with an exorbitantly high deductible in the event of damage.

Plan the route in advance

Limiting the number of kilometers to be driven is common in the rental car industry. Usually the free kilometer limit is between 100 and 200 kilometers. If you already know before booking that you want to enjoy the unique driving experience in a sports car longer than usual, agree on a fixed price with the landlord and inform them of the number of kilometers you want. If the specified limit is disregarded, there is a risk of sensitive additional payments.

Second driver

Chances are, you're not going to tour alone, but want to share the fun. After refreshment in the café or the trendy restaurant, your loved one might want to take the wheel themselves. Caution is advised here. Without a corresponding entry in the rental contract, the insurance cover expires as soon as someone other than the person named in the contract drives the vehicle. Serious lenders will point this out to you and thus prevent misunderstandings.

Logging of the handover

As with any rental car, the requirement to document existing damage also applies when renting sports cars. Before handing over the keys, inspect the car together with the provider and note any old damage. This is the only way to ensure that you are not charged for any damage you did not cause yourself. The amount of the deductible is sometimes considerable.
