How to rent a Ferrari in Italy: the complete guide

Why renting a Ferrari in Italy is a different experience

Italy is the country that built the Ferrari myth: Maranello, the Futa pass, the coastal road from Portofino to Sanremo, the Amalfi switchbacks. Driving a Prancing Horse here is not a service — it's a journey through the roads that inspired the cars themselves.

Renting (rather than owning) gives you the freedom to pick the right Ferrari for the right route: a Portofino M for a relaxed weekend on Lake Como, a Roma Spyder for the Tuscan hills, an F8 Spider for the Stelvio Pass. Rial Rent runs the fleet directly, so the car you book is the car you drive — no broker layers, no surprises at handover.

How much does it cost to rent a Ferrari in Italy?

Daily rates in 2026 start from around €1,200 for the Ferrari Portofino M, €1,600 for the Roma Spyder and €1,900 for the F8 Spider. Rates include comprehensive kasko insurance with reduced deductible, 150 km per day, 24/7 roadside assistance across Italy and a full tank at delivery.

Multi-day rentals trigger tiered discounts: typically −15% from 3 days, −25% from 7 days. For week-long itineraries (e.g. Milan → Tuscany → Amalfi) we build a tailored quote that includes hotel-to-hotel delivery, a chase car for luggage and assistance from the concierge.

Outside of the daily rate, plan for a refundable security hold (€5,000–€15,000 depending on model, held on the driver's credit card) and optional add-ons: additional mileage packages, a second driver, airport delivery, chauffeur for the city legs.

Requirements to rent a Ferrari in Italy

You need a valid category B driving licence held for at least 3 years and a credit card in the main driver's name for the security hold. Drivers must usually be 28 or older for V8 models, 30+ for the F8 family — we evaluate younger profiles individually based on driving history.

International clients are welcome: we accept EU, UK, US, Swiss, UAE and most international licences. Non-Latin-script licences (e.g. China, Japan, Saudi Arabia) require an International Driving Permit or a sworn translation. The concierge confirms everything in advance so there are no surprises on the day of delivery.

Which Ferrari to choose: pick by trip, not by horsepower

Ferrari Portofino M — the GT convertible. 620 hp, four real seats, sublime ride comfort. The right choice for a weekend on Lake Como, the Riviera or a wedding anniversary in Tuscany.

Ferrari Roma Spyder — the elegant grand tourer. 620 hp, twin-turbo V8, the most refined design in the current line-up. Ideal for couples touring Florence, Siena, Val d'Orcia or the Amalfi Coast.

Ferrari F8 Spider — the open-top mid-engined supercar. 720 hp, 0–100 in 2.9 seconds, naturally aspirated soundtrack. The car for pure driving: Stelvio, Gavia, Sanremo–Monte Carlo, Mille Miglia stages.

The best driving routes for a Ferrari in Italy

Lake Como loop (1 day, from Milan). Cernobbio → Bellagio → Como, on the SS340 lakeside road. Coffee at Villa d'Este, lunch at Mistral in Bellagio, sunset over Punta Spartivento.

Tuscany Grand Tour (3–4 days). Florence → Siena → Val d'Orcia → Forte dei Marmi. The SR2 Cassia between Pienza and Montalcino is one of the most photographed roads in the world.

Amalfi Coast & Capri (3 days). Naples → Positano → Amalfi → Ravello, then ferry to Capri. We coordinate hotel delivery, private parking and a chase car for luggage where the SS163 gets narrow.

The Alpine passes (2 days). Bormio → Stelvio (48 hairpins) → Gavia → Lake Como. Best in May–June and September, when traffic is light and the road is dry.

Mille Miglia stages (5 days). Brescia → Rome → Brescia, following the historic 1,600 km route. We organise period-correct itineraries for collectors and clubs.

How the Rial Rent concierge changes the rental

Most rental companies hand you keys at a counter. We don't. A dedicated concierge designs your trip end-to-end: hotel and FBO delivery, restaurant and beach-club reservations, photographer on the route, private parking, helicopter transfers, security if needed.

Every Ferrari is delivered in person by a member of the team who walks you through the car — modes, infotainment, recommended routes for the next morning. You have a direct WhatsApp line to the concierge for the entire rental, 24/7, in English and Italian.

It's the difference between renting a car and accessing a fleet through someone who actually drives these cars.

Where we deliver in Italy

Free delivery in central Milan. Small surcharge for Linate, Malpensa, Bergamo Orio and hotels in Lombardy. Throughout Italy and Europe we arrange bespoke delivery — including airside at private FBOs (Milan Prime, Roma Ciampino, Olbia, Nice) for clients on private jets.

Popular delivery points: Portofino, Forte dei Marmi, Florence, Rome, Capri, Porto Cervo, Taormina, Lake Garda. For each location we coordinate with the hotel or villa to handle the handover discreetly.

How to book your Ferrari

Send a request through the contact form, by email or directly on WhatsApp. The concierge replies within a few hours (often minutes) with available models for your dates, the formal quote and the documents to share. We confirm with a deposit; the balance and the security hold are settled at delivery.

For high season — June to September, Christmas, Milan Fashion Week, Salone del Mobile — we recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance. For last-minute requests we always do our best: the fleet is large and we frequently move cars between cities to match client needs.
