Ferrari is not just another luxury car brand; it is a true icon of status and admiration. Its name alone evokes character, power, and elegance. Founded by the legendary Enzo Ferrari, first in Modena and later in Maranello, the Prancing Horse brand has established itself as an undisputed reference in the world of high-performance supercars and luxury. However, this exclusivity comes at a price: owning a Ferrari involves not only a high acquisition cost but also significant maintenance expenses, making it a privilege reserved for a select few.
But if your dream is to experience driving one, even if only for a few hours, there is now a much more accessible alternative: renting. While car rentals are traditionally associated with practical and affordable everyday options, the luxury sector has been gaining ground. More and more companies are adding supercars to their catalogs, allowing more people to feel – even if just for a brief moment – what it means to be behind the wheel of a Ferrari.
In this article, we will tell you how much it costs to rent a Ferrari, the requirements you must meet, and why this legendary Italian brand inspires such passion around the world.
What makes Ferrari such a coveted masterpiece?
Every Ferrari supercar exudes a unique aura, an imposing presence that few – if any – can match. The brand has not only succeeded in creating high-performance vehicles but has also elevated each model to the status of a true work of art on wheels.
The design of each Ferrari embodies elegance in its purest form, with fluid and sophisticated lines that seamlessly combine aesthetics and functionality. Aerodynamics and lightness are fundamental pillars of every model, evident in the wide air intakes, prominent diffusers, and carefully integrated spoilers. Signature elements such as the elongated hood, the gently sloping roof, and the compact rear end project an unmistakable image of speed and dynamism.
The interior is no exception. Ferrari cabins exude luxury without veering into ostentation. Top-quality materials such as handcrafted leather, carbon fiber, and metallic details are meticulously selected to offer an exceptional driving experience. Everything is designed with the driver in mind: controls are accessible, intuitive, and ergonomically arranged to keep the focus on what truly matters: enjoying every second behind the wheel.
Price
Driving a Ferrari is an exclusive experience, and given its high acquisition cost, renting one for a limited time becomes a much more accessible alternative for the general public. So, how much does it really cost to rent a Ferrari?
The answer is not straightforward, as the final rental price depends on several factors: the selected model, rental duration, included mileage, and the required security deposit. Renting a Ferrari California is not the same as renting a Ferrari 296 GTB, and even within each model, there may be variations depending on the specific version and the vehicle’s condition.
Each luxury car rental company sets its own rates, which may vary depending on current demand and the model’s age. At Drive Me Barcelona, we offer four Ferrari models in our catalog of supercars available for rent: the Ferrari California T, the Ferrari Portofino M, the Ferrari Roma Spider, and the Ferrari 296 GTB.
Ferrari California T
This is the most accessible Ferrari in our fleet. This elegant convertible, with seating for up to four and 560 horsepower, is an exceptional option for those who want to experience the thrill of driving a Ferrari without incurring an excessive cost. Renting our model requires a 5.000 € security deposit. The minimum rental price is 366 € for 2 hours, with 60 kilometers included. For those who prefer a longer experience, the daily rental rate is 925 €, with 200 kilometers included. The maximum rental period is 28 days, priced at 717 € per day, with up to 4.340 kilometers included.

This model offers a spectacular combination of GT-level sportiness with the refined elegance of a convertible coupé, delivering 620 horsepower and seating for up to four. Renting this model requires a 7.000 € security deposit, with a minimum price of 614 € for 2 hours, including 60 km. If you prefer a full-day rental, the cost is 1.550 € with 200 km included.

Inspired by the iconic Ferraris of the 1950s and 1960s, the Roma Spider stands out with a refreshed design compared to the Ferrari Portofino M, abandoning the traditional round rear lights in favor of a more modern and fluid style. Its interior also evolves, offering a more technological and refined appearance. Renting this model requires a 7.000 € security deposit, with a minimum price of 665 € for 2 hours, including 60 km.
