Ferrari — Rome

From €1,000 per day.

Ferrari and Rome share a design language — dramatic, layered, built to be experienced rather than merely observed. Eleven models from Maranello sit in our fleet here, and each one speaks to a different kind of driver. The Roma Spider feels almost tailor-made for its namesake city: a grand tourer with refined lines, comfortable enough for a morning run from Via Veneto to the Castelli Romani hill towns via the SS218, sharp enough to hold your attention on the tighter roads around Frascati. The 296 GTB and its open-top sibling, the 296 GTS Spider, deliver hybrid power with a responsiveness that rewards anyone who knows how to use a steering wheel — 830 hp channelled through a plug-in V6 architecture that Ferrari engineered from scratch. The F8 Spider strips things back toward pure mid-engine theatre. And then there is the SF90 Spider at 986 hp, which is, in plain terms, one of the most powerful road-legal convertibles produced by any manufacturer anywhere. Day rates begin at €1,000 and climb depending on the model and duration. Multi-day bookings along routes that extend beyond the city — Tivoli in the morning, an overnight push toward the Amalfi Coast, a long weekend into Umbria via the A1 toward Orvieto — are where these cars genuinely come alive. Rome's ZTL restrictions in the historic centre mean handover is typically arranged at your hotel outside the controlled zone, at Fiumicino or Ciampino airports, or at a residence in districts like Prati or EUR where access is straightforward. A chauffeur option is available on request for occasions where you'd rather arrive in a Ferrari than drive one — Vatican events, corporate hosting in EUR, or timed transfers to Civitavecchia for cruise embarkation. For everything else, the key is yours. Rome's surrounding roads — volcanic hills to the south-east, coastal motorways west toward the port, autostrada corridors north into Tuscany — were made for cars that reward distance. A Ferrari, specifically, turns that distance into purpose.
