How old do you have to be to rent a supercar?

Almost all supercar hire companies have a minimum age limit of 28 years old. And all of them require a fairly substantial deposit and excess.

Do I Need Insurance When Hiring Supercars?
One of the most crucial aspects of hiring a supercar for any period of time is insuring it. The cars you’ll be hiring are often worth hundreds of thousands and can be incredibly experience to insure.
When browsing suppliers you should prioritise checking their insurance policy. Any reputable company will offer you fully comprehensive insurance cover included in the rental price. If this isn’t the case then alarm bells should be ringing.
To save costs some companies may look to insure drivers on their “Traders” policy. This type of insurance policy is only valid if you are an employee of that company. Meaning if you did get stopped by the police or happen to be in an accident you wouldn’t be insured.
When you purchase a rental supercar always ask for a copy of the insurance document to ensure you are correctly covered. If the company can’t or wont provide this then we’d recommend looking for an alternative company.

Do I need to leave a deposit?
When you hire a supercar for any period of time you will be required to leave a deposit. This deposit is designed to cover the hiring company in the case that a customer damages their car.
When signing a rental agreement you will be agreeing to an excess amount which will be payable by the customer if any damage occurs. This can come straight out of the deposit, however is sometimes higher than the deposit alone meaning you may have to pay a larger damage excess.
Ultimately, hiring supercars for a weekend or longer is an amazing experience. Most supercar hire companies are very well equipped to ensure your days with the car go as smooth as possible making your experience as great as it can be.
When hiring supercars, just ensure you check the small details I’ve spoken about above to make your experience as hassle free as possible.
