Ferrari Rental Cost in Italy: Daily and Weekend Prices
Renting a Ferrari in Italy typically costs between €800 and €4,000 per day, depending on the model, the city and the season. A weekend package runs from roughly €1,700 to €9,000. The deposit, insurance, mileage allowance and delivery can move the real total well beyond the headline rate, so this guide breaks down each layer before you commit.
TL;DR
Listed daily rates for Ferraris in Italy run from €800 to €4,000, with a California T at €800–€1,200 and a Portofino at €900–€1,400.
Weekend packages for Ferrari models range from €1,700 to €9,000, depending on the car.
Expect a security deposit of €5,000–€15,000, plus possible charges for comprehensive insurance, delivery, collection and assistance.
Many contracts cap mileage at 100–150 km per day, and most operators ask for drivers aged 25 or older with a license held for at least three years.
Milan, Florence and Rome cost more than quieter areas, and spring and summer are the peak months.

What a Ferrari costs per day in Italy
The daily rate is the number everyone searches for, and it is a wide one. Published guides to Italian Ferrari rentals list daily prices from €800 up to €4,000, and the spread is almost entirely explained by the car on the other end of the key.
The entry point is the grand tourer: relaxed, comfortable, and at ease on a long coastal road. The same guide puts a Ferrari California T at €800–€1,200 per day and a Portofino or Portofino M at €900–€1,400. Those are the cars most visitors picture when they imagine a leisurely drive between Lake Como and the Ligurian coast.
Further up the range sit the mid-engine models and the V12 flagships. Their daily rates move toward the upper end of that €4,000 ceiling, and the prices climb because the cars are rarer, more powerful and far more expensive to insure.
A rough ladder by model type
Category | Typical character | Listed daily range |
Front-engine grand tourer (California T) | Convertible, comfortable, easy to drive | €800–€1,200 |
Updated grand tourer (Portofino, Portofino M) | Folding hard top, more refined | €900–€1,400 |
Mid-engine V8 and V12 models | Track-derived performance, firm ride | Higher, up to about €4,000 |
Treat these as orientation, not a quote. Rates change with the year of the car, how many days you book, and the dates you want. If you are choosing between two mid-engine V8 options, our comparison of the 488 and the F8 Tributo explains what the price difference buys on real Italian roads.
We do not publish fixed prices for our Ferrari fleet, because the right figure depends on the model, dates and pickup point. You can see the current line-up on our Ferrari rental page and request a quote tailored to your trip.
What a weekend supercar rental costs
A weekend is the most popular format for a first Ferrari experience: long enough to leave the city, short enough to keep the budget in check. Published weekend rates for Ferrari models range from €1,700 to €9,000, again depending on the model.
Two things are worth checking before you compare weekend quotes, because they are the usual source of confusion:
How many rental days the weekend covers. Some operators count Friday evening to Monday morning as a weekend, others bill three full 24-hour periods, and others treat it as two days with a discount. Ask for the exact pickup and return times in writing.
What the all-inclusive rate really includes. Weekend offers are often sold as all-inclusive, covering insurance and expenses. That is useful, but it still leaves the deposit, mileage limit and fuel policy to confirm.
Premium travel tends to be priced by the whole vehicle for a set period rather than per person, in much the way regional private jet pricing is quoted per aircraft. For a two-seat Ferrari, that means the cost per traveler is the figure to keep in mind if you are splitting a weekend with a partner.
A worked example
Suppose you want a Portofino for three days. At the listed €900–€1,400 per day, three days of straight daily pricing would be €2,700–€4,200. A weekend package may come in below that, or above it if it bundles delivery and insurance. The point is to compare like with like: the same number of days, the same mileage, the same insurance and the same pickup point.
The costs that sit beside the rental rate
The daily or weekend rate is only part of what leaves your account. Four items account for most of the difference between the quote and the total.
Security deposit
A security deposit of €5,000–€15,000 is usually required for supercar rentals in Italy. It is typically held on a credit card and released after the car is returned and inspected. Check your card limit before you travel: a deposit of this size can fail on a card that is fine for everyday spending.
Insurance
Comprehensive cover, known in Italian as kasko or casco, is required by almost all operators for Ferrari rentals. Ask three questions: what the excess is, whether it is reduced by a paid upgrade, and whether tires, wheels, glass and the underbody are covered. On low-slung cars, those exclusions matter.
Delivery and collection
Delivery to a hotel, villa, airport or event venue is one of the extras listed in reporting on how supercar rentals are priced, alongside mechanical assistance. If you are arriving into Rome, a car waiting at the airport saves a transfer and puts you into your schedule immediately; our Rome airport rental page shows how that works.
Mileage allowance
Many luxury contracts limit mileage to 100–150 km per day. That sounds generous until you map a route. Milan to Lake Como and back is well within it. Florence to the Chianti hills and back, with detours, can approach it. A three-day tour from Rome toward the Amalfi Coast will not fit a daily cap at all, so ask for an extended package or an unlimited option before you book.
How location and season change the price
Prices vary by city. According to the same guide, Milan, Florence and Rome are more expensive than less-touristy areas, and demand rises in spring and summer. The logic is simple: more visitors, more events and fewer idle cars.
That has practical consequences for your plan:
Shoulder season (late spring and early autumn) often combines good weather with calmer roads and more availability. Confirm current seasonal rates with the operator.
Smaller bases such as Parma or Verona can be a smarter starting point if your route runs through the north anyway. We cover both on our Parma and Verona pages.
Event dates such as fashion weeks, race weekends and weddings tighten supply. Book early for those.
Who can rent, and what to bring
Eligibility affects cost in a quiet way: a driver who fails the checks pays nothing and drives nothing. Reporting on Italian operators states that most specialist operators require drivers to be at least 25 and to have held a B license for at least three years. Some set a maximum age of 65–70. That source describes Sicily, so confirm the exact rules for your pickup city.
Drivers from several non-EU countries, including the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea and Brazil, need an International Driving Permit. For American drivers, a legal overview of driving in Italy notes that the permit is a translation of your license and that AAA issues it at modest cost. Get it before you leave home, since it cannot be obtained once you land.
Bring these on pickup day:
Your original driving license and your International Driving Permit, if required
A passport or national ID
A credit card in the main driver’s name, with room for the deposit
Your booking confirmation
Reading the contract before you sign
A Ferrari rental follows the same steps as an ordinary one, with the addition of a briefing on the car. Reporting on supercar rental in Italy describes the procedure as substantially similar to traditional rental, with an information session on the chosen vehicle. Use the briefing. Ask about the launch and drive modes, how the roof works, the fuel grade and how the car behaves in the rain.
Then read the contract line by line. In 2024, the AGCM fined six car-rental operators over clauses on administrative costs for traffic fines. Italy’s limited traffic zones (ZTL) are a common trap for visitors, so ask what the operator charges to forward a fine, and plan your route around historic centers.
A short checklist before you sign:
Total price, with every extra itemized
Deposit amount and release timing
Daily mileage and the price per extra kilometer
Insurance excess and exclusions
Fuel policy and return condition
Administrative fee for fines
Cancellation and change terms
Our view: price the whole experience, not the day rate
After years of matching clients with cars, we see the same pattern. People ask for the cheapest Ferrari, then discover that the cheapest quote leaves out the things that make the trip feel effortless. The better question is what the entire weekend costs, and what it feels like at 9 a.m. on day one.
We start from the route, not the model. A Portofino suits a coastal run with luggage and a passenger who wants to talk. A mid-engine car suits a shorter, sharper drive and someone who wants the sound and the response. Choosing the wrong one costs more than any rate difference, because you end up with a car that does not fit the trip.
We guarantee the exact model you book, which matters more than it sounds: a rental that offers an equivalent at pickup is not the car you planned your weekend around. We also deliver to the address you choose, so the handover starts your trip instead of costing you the first hour of it. And we keep the process private and simple, with a recommendation built around your dates, your group and your roads.
If you are comparing us with another provider, hold every quote to the same checklist above. We are comfortable with that comparison.

How to keep the cost under control
A Ferrari is never inexpensive, but you decide where the money goes. These choices make the biggest difference:
Pick the model for the route. A grand tourer in the €800–€1,400 daily bracket is often the better fit for a coastal drive than a more expensive mid-engine car.
Book midweek or in shoulder season when your plans are flexible.
Match mileage to your route before you pay for days you will not use.
Start outside the busiest cities if your trip allows it.
Ask what is included in any all-inclusive rate, then compare quotes on identical terms.
Check your card limit for the deposit before you leave home.
