Hourly Hire Fleet — Southampton
Maximum impact in minimum time. Delivered to your Southampton location.
McLaren 720S
710 hp twin-turbo V8, retractable hardtop, 0–62 in 2.9 seconds. The F8 Spider is the ultimate open-top Ferrari for an evening in Southampton — hood down on Shirley Lane, or parked outside Issho for maximum statement power. Quick to fold the roof, impossible to ignore. Available from just 1 hour with delivery to your Southampton address.
Lamborghini Huracan Evo
640 hp naturally aspirated V10, all-wheel drive, dynamic steering. The Huracan Evo's naturally aspirated soundtrack is unrepeatable — it is the sound that makes every head turn on Park Row or Above Bar Street before the car even comes into view. For prom arrivals, birthday surprises, or a Saturday evening in the city, it makes every moment extraordinary.
McLaren 720S
710 hp twin-turbo V8, carbon MonoCell II chassis, dihedral doors that deliver the perfect entrance at any Southampton venue. The 720S combines effortless city driving with shocking performance — smooth and comfortable in traffic on the Armley gyratory, then extraordinary the moment you touch the motorway slip road. A statement for any occasion in Hampshire.

Southampton City Highlights — Hourly Car Hire
From the waterfront to the New Forest in minutes — Southampton offers an exceptional range of experiences for a short supercar hire.
Ocean Village Marina & Waterfront
Start your hourly hire at Ocean Village Marina — Southampton's prestige waterfront quarter — for maximum visual impact. The combination of moored superyachts, glazed residential towers and Solent views provides an outstanding backdrop as you depart in a Ferrari or McLaren. The marina connects directly to the quayside promenade and the Town Quay waterfront, creating a scenic 2-mile city loop before heading out to Hampshire's open roads.
New Forest Day Run — Lyndhurst Loop
For a 3–4 hour hire, the classic Southampton day run is the New Forest Lyndhurst loop — south via the A35 to Lyndhurst, then west on the B3079 through Brook and Cadnam, before returning to Southampton on the M27. This 45-mile circuit takes in the heart of the New Forest with open road driving, ancient woodland and the quintessential Hampshire landscape. It fits comfortably into a 3-hour hire slot with time to stop at the Crown Hotel in Lyndhurst.

How People Use Our Hourly Hire in Southampton
Date nights, events, content, and spontaneous experiences.
Date Night
Arrive at Issho Restaurant on Quebec Street, Crafthouse at Trinity Southampton, or Gaucho on Bond Court in something that sets the tone for the entire evening. A Ferrari or McLaren pulls up, you step out, and the restaurant already knows this is a special night. Collect for 2–3 hours, dinner included, and return home having made an evening neither of you will forget.
Event Arrival
Southampton prom season, a 21st birthday, a concert at Utilita Bowl, a gallery opening at Southampton Art Gallery, a gallery preview in the WestQuay Shopping Centre. Arrive in a Lamborghini Huracan or Ferrari F8 Spider and make the kind of entrance that photographs before you even step out of the car. 1–2 hours is perfect for most event arrivals in Southampton.
Content Creation
Short-form video, Instagram reels, TikTok, personal branding shoots — 1–2 hours of hourly hire in Southampton gives you everything you need for a full content session. Ocean Village Marina for reflection shots. The Southampton City Walls for cinematic brick textures. WestQuay Shopping Centre's glass arcade for opulence. Southampton Common's car parks for clean backgrounds. The city is your set and the car is your prop.
Add-Ons & Extras
Personalise your Southampton hourly hire experience.
Chauffeur Option
Would rather not drive? Add a professional DBS-checked chauffeur to your hourly hire and enjoy the car from the passenger seat.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hourly Car Hire Southampton
What is the minimum hourly hire period in Southampton?
Our minimum hire period in Southampton is 2 hours. We offer packages of 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours, as well as full-day hire. The hourly rate decreases with longer packages, and we are happy to advise on the best option for your planned route or occasion.
Can you deliver an hourly hire car to Southampton Airport (SOU)?
Yes — Southampton Airport (SOU) is just 4 miles north of the city and a popular delivery point. We time delivery to your arrival, so your car is waiting as you exit the terminal. The handover briefing takes place in the airport car park before you depart.
Is there a Clean Air Zone charge in Southampton for hourly hire?
Southampton has no Clean Air Zone for private cars, so there are no additional charges associated with driving a hired supercar within or around the city. Your hire cost is the full cost — nothing added for zone compliance.
Which supercars can I hire by the hour in Southampton?
Our Southampton hourly fleet includes Ferrari 488 Spider, Ferrari F8 Spider, McLaren 720S, Lamborghini Huracán EVO and Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica, among others. Availability changes by season and vehicle location — enquire to confirm what is available on your preferred date.
Can I take a hourly hire car into the New Forest?
Absolutely — the New Forest is the most popular destination for our Southampton hourly hire customers. The A35 through Lyndhurst and the A337 to Brockenhurst are both within 15 minutes of the city and make excellent use of a 2–3 hour hire window. Please drive within the speed limits and responsibly around the free-roaming New Forest ponies.
Can I hire a car by the hour for a birthday drive from Southampton?
Yes — birthday drives are one of our most popular hourly hire occasions. You choose the car, the route and the duration. We can include a personalised card, celebration touches and, if you wish, a route plan for the best Hampshire roads. Gift vouchers are also available for friends and family.
Can I hire a convertible supercar for a Solent coastal drive?
Yes — our open-top options include the Ferrari 488 Spider, Ferrari F8 Spider and McLaren 720S Spider. For the Hampshire coastal route to Lymington or a New Forest cruise with the roof down, a convertible makes the experience truly memorable. We recommend booking the spider variant in advance as demand is higher during summer months.
Is delivery included in the hourly hire rate?
Delivery to Southampton city centre locations and the waterfront is included within the hire rate. Delivery to locations further afield in Hampshire — including Southampton Airport (SOU), Winchester or New Forest venues — may incur a small delivery fee depending on distance. Full details are provided at the time of booking.
