THE SUPERCAR AND THE PEOPLE CARRIER: Driverso REVEALS THE RACE TO BE EUROPE'S TOP LUXURY HIRE CAR

If you ask people about their hire car experiences, they’re more likely to tell you about frustrating waits at airport collection depots and the gamble of not knowing exactly what underwhelming hatch back they end up driving. Rarely do you hear them recalling the hum of a V8 engine whizzing through a stunning alpine pass or cruising the Amalfi Coast with the top down on their Italian supercar.

Driverso believes that your vehicle could be the best part of any trip, giving car lovers hassle-free access to Europe’s largest luxury car hire fleet and matching the perfect ride for each trip to every nation.
According to our data, the Ferrari California T is Britain’s most desired hire car with one in ten searches resulting in the supercar. Following the popular Italian model, the UK’s top ten luxury hire cars include a pair of Porsches (718 and 911), the Audi R8 Spider, Rolls Royce Ghost, Nissan GTR 91, Lamborghini Huracan, Mercedes-Benz C Class Cabriolet and the Ferrari 488.
The only model to challenge the California T however was the people-carrying, seven-seater Mercedes-Benz V Class, whose promise of family and colleague carrying comfort was the second most searched for model by Londoners.

Driverso data reveals that the Lamborghini Huracan is the most desired luxury hire car across Europe ranking as the most searched for model in Barcelona and Milan and the second most sought after in Paris.
Car lovers from Barcelona are particularly enamoured with Lamborghinis, with the Huracan accounting for one in five searches and Barcelona being the only city where The Lamborghini Aventador appears in the top ten (sixth place).

 

Despite Italian supercar brands Ferrari and Lamborghini claiming the top stops followed by prestigious German marques, there is an unquestionable desire for British cars on the continent.
Thanks to demand for F-Type and F-Pace models, Jaguar features in the top 10 most searched for brands to hire across Europe and appears in the five most searched for brands in France.
