No Ferrari Until 2028? Not If You Know Where to Rent One
Ferrari has confirmed what serious collectors already suspected: the order books in Maranello are closed until 2028. Every new request for a Ferrari supercar, and even for the brand's first electric model, the Ferrari Luce, now joins a waiting list measured in years, not months. For the world's most demanding drivers, the message is clear. If you want to feel a V12 or a twin-turbo V8 on Italian asphalt this year, buying is no longer an option. Renting is.
Healthy Demand, Zero Availability
Ferrari itself describes the current order backlog as a result of "healthy demand across all geographies," from the United States and the United Kingdom to the Middle East, China and beyond. New models such as the Amalfi and the 849 Testarossa are already spoken for, while the Ferrari Luce, priced above half a million euros, sold out its entire allocation within weeks of launch, with especially strong interest from buyers in China and the Gulf. For an ultra-high-net-worth client used to acquiring whatever he wants on demand, a two-year wait is simply not acceptable. It is also, for many, unnecessary.
This is exactly where Luxury Car Hire Europe (LCHE) comes in. We do not sell waiting lists. We deliver the keys, today, to your hotel suite, your villa terrace or your private jet's runway, anywhere in Italy or along the French Riviera.
Rent a Ferrari in Italy Without the Two-Year Wait
Whether you are searching for "rent a Ferrari in Tuscany," "Lamborghini hire Emilia Romagna," "supercar rental Amalfi Coast" or "hire a Ferrari French Riviera," the answer is the same team: LCHE. Our current fleet includes the Ferrari 12Cilindri, the 296 GTS and GTB, the SF90 Spider, the 812 GTS and the Lamborghini Revuelto, all maintained to concours condition and available with door-to-door delivery across the region.
Clients arriving from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Norway, Sweden and France routinely combine a Ferrari or Lamborghini rental with a base in Emilia-Romagna's Motor Valley, the true heartland of Italian performance engineering, home to Maranello, Modena and Bologna. Guests flying in from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar or Israel more often choose the French Riviera as their arrival point, pairing a supercar delivered directly to their resort in Monaco, Cannes or Saint-Tropez with excursions inland toward the Italian border. For clients travelling from Ukraine and across Eastern Europe, a growing number of whom now spend the summer season on the Riviera or in Lake Como, the appeal is identical: total discretion, verified vehicles and delivery wherever they are staying.
Beyond the Drive: Medieval Villages and 5-Star Italian Resorts
A supercar in Italy is not simply transportation. It is the fastest possible route between two of the country's greatest assets: its five-star hospitality and its untouched medieval heritage. LCHE routinely designs driving days that connect a client's resort to some of the most beautiful borghi in the country, places most tour operators never reach because they are built for buses, not for a 12Cilindri.
Picture a morning departure from a five-star wellness resort in the Emilia-Romagna hills, a fast run through the Apennine passes behind the wheel of a Lamborghini Revuelto, lunch in the walled medieval village of Brisighella or Dozza, and a return in time for an aperitivo overlooking the vineyards. Or a Ferrari 296 GTS collected directly from a private villa on the Côte d'Azur, followed by an afternoon exploring San Remo's old town before crossing back into Liguria along the coastal road. These are not generic itineraries. They are built around where our client is already staying, whether that is a resort in Portofino, a villa near Lake Como, a suite in Monaco or a private estate in the Amalfi Coast.
Tailor-Made Tours and Experiences, Designed Around You
This is the part of our service that sets Luxury Car Hire Europe apart from a standard rental agency. Every itinerary can be fully customised with our support: multi-day supercar road trips through Tuscany's medieval hill towns, a private Motor Valley circuit connecting Ferrari, Lamborghini and Pagani territory, or a bespoke Riviera-to-Emilia-Romagna route timed around a Formula 1 weekend, a wedding, or a private event.
Our team works directly with each client, or with their concierge, family office or travel advisor, to build an experience around three fixed points: the vehicle, the accommodation and the itinerary. We coordinate delivery to hotels, resorts, villas and airports, arrange driver briefings, and can layer in additional partners including Michelin-starred restaurants, private villas and yacht charters for clients who want a single, seamless luxury experience rather than a rental transaction.
The Bottom Line for International Buyers and Renters
Ferrari's order books being sealed until 2028 is not bad news for anyone planning a trip to Italy this year. It is confirmation that the smartest way to experience the Cavallino Rampante, or a Lamborghini, a Porsche or a Bentley, on the roads where these cars belong, is through a rental partner who already owns the fleet, understands the territory, and can deliver anywhere from Emilia-Romagna to the French Riviera without a two-year wait.
Excellence isn't owned. It's driven.
