What It’s Really Like to Rent a McLaren for the Weekend in Miami

 What It’s Really Like to Rent a McLaren for a Weekend in Miami

Let me just say this up front: renting a McLaren in Miami is not for the faint of heart — it’s for those who want to be seen, heard, and remembered. I did it for a milestone birthday weekend, and the experience delivered on every expectation. If you’re even thinking about doing it, here’s what you should know before you hit that "book now" button.

🚗 The Model I Chose

I went with the McLaren 720S, and I’m so glad I did. From the moment the dihedral doors lifted up, I knew this wasn’t just another exotic car — it was an event. With 710 horsepower and a 0–60 time under 3 seconds, the car doesn’t just move, it launches. Perfect for weaving through the Venetian Causeway or pulling up to dinner in Brickell like you own the block.



If you're torn between the 720S and the 570S, definitely compare McLaren models in Miami before making the call.

🌴 Where I Took It

I started with a cruise through Ocean Drive (of course) then took it up to Key Biscayne for a sunrise reel. Later that night, I valeted it at Swan and caught more looks than the influencers with ring lights. This car isn't subtle — and that's the point.

Pro tip: ask about delivery to your hotel or Airbnb. Some companies will drop it off right at your front door.

💳 What It Cost

For the 720S, I paid just under $1,200 for a 24-hour rental. It included 100 miles, which was perfect for my plans. If you’re staying in the city and just want that once-in-a-lifetime content + drive experience, it’s absolutely worth it.

Make sure you understand your mileage cap, delivery fees, and insurance options upfront. The folks at Monarc VIP broke it all down clearly, which is why I booked with them.

✅ Final Thoughts

If you’re in Miami and want to rent a car that makes people stop what they’re doing, renting a McLaren is it. The looks, the sound, the feel — all on another level. Just do yourself a favor and read this full McLaren rental guide before you commit.

Trust me, it’s the kind of weekend that ends up in your highlight reel — literally.
