Rent a McLaren 720S Spider in France

The 720S Spider carries its 720 horsepower with a lightness that belies the number. Roof down, the twin-turbo V8 sits close behind the seats, and the drop-top structure does nothing to soften the immediacy of the throttle — this is a car built to be driven hard, not simply displayed with the top open. On a clear stretch of road in Provence or along the corniches above the Mediterranean, the low nose and wide stance make it easy to place through a fast corner, and the retractable hardtop can go down at a stop without changing the character of the drive. This 2022 model is the one variant we hold in the fleet, finished as a two-seat convertible, and it rents from €1700 per day. That single-configuration approach keeps things simple at handover: no trims to compare, no options list to work through, just one car checked over, fuelled, and ready before you take the wheel. A deposit is confirmed and the handover point — hotel, residence or airport — is agreed in advance, so the paperwork is settled before the day of the drive rather than during it. It suits a specific kind of booking: a weekend built around driving rather than sightseeing, an anniversary where the open cabin matters as much as the performance, or a single standout day slotted into a longer trip. Two seats and a compact cabin mean it is not the right choice for a family outing or a multi-stop errand run, but for a driver who wants to feel every part of the road and arrive somewhere with the top down, it is difficult to match.
