How to Rent a Ferrari in Italy: Complete 2025 Guide

Requirements to rent a Ferrari

Renting a Ferrari in Italy is more straightforward than most people expect, but every document has to be in order. The first is a valid driving licence: for road-going Ferraris you do not need any special permit, the standard licence you use every day is enough. Most operators, Rial Rent included, ask that it was issued at least three years earlier, given the performance involved.

The second requirement is age. Supercar rentals usually start at 25 years old; more demanding models such as a Ferrari F8 may require 28 or a young-driver surcharge. Bring a valid ID document with you as well, and if your licence was issued outside the EU, a separate International Driving Permit may be requested alongside the original.

Finally, you will need a credit card in the driver's name. This is essential for the security deposit hold: no serious operator accepts prepaid or debit cards for this step. Having everything ready in advance means you collect the car in minutes, whether at the office, your hotel or the airport, with no last-minute checks.

Prices, mileage and deposit

Ferrari rental prices in Italy depend on the model and the duration. A Ferrari Roma or Portofino typically starts from around €1,200 per day, while more extreme models like the F8 Spider easily exceed €1,800 per day. Rates drop noticeably with weekend or weekly packages, because the fixed costs of delivery and handling are spread across several days.

Most rates include a daily mileage allowance, usually between 100 and 200 km. Extra kilometres are billed separately, roughly €3 to €6 per km. If you are planning a long itinerary, for example Milan to Como and on towards the Tuscan coast, it is worth agreeing on a larger mileage package in advance to avoid surprises.

The deposit is a temporary hold on your credit card to cover potential damage. For a Ferrari it commonly ranges from €3,000 to €10,000 depending on the value of the car. It is not an actual charge but an authorisation that is released on return if the car comes back intact. Always check that your card has enough available limit to cover both the rental and the deposit.

Delivery, insurance and return

One of the perks of premium rental is delivery wherever you are. Rial Rent brings the Ferrari directly to your hotel, villa or airport: at Milan Linate, Malpensa or the Costa Smeralda terminals you find the car ready on arrival, with a short technical briefing on the controls and how the car behaves.

On insurance, the standard formula includes third-party liability and a collision (kasko) cover with an excess. You can reduce or zero out the excess with a daily supplement, which is the most relaxed option, especially if you drive in busy cities or on mountain roads around Como. Always read what is and is not covered, particularly for wheels, tyres and the lower bodywork.

At pickup, a report is completed with photos of the car's condition: do the same yourself, taking 360-degree images. On return the check is repeated, the fuel level is verified and the deposit is released. With everything in order, the whole process closes in just a few minutes.
