Luxury Convertible Showdown

Feb 18, 2017

LA Luxury Car Rental offers a great selection of Luxury Convertibles for Rent. With so many great options, and summer coming closer, we break down the best features of each of our convertibles to help you choose. We love the practicality of a 4 Seater convertible so we only include Luxury Convertibles that offer back seat space. We also go over the trunk space of each to help you plan your trip. With our amazing California weather, and the beautiful scenic coastal drives, we think this guide is long over due.

BMW 650i Convertible Rental

The BMW 650i Convertible features GPS Navigation, Heated Seats, Ventilated Seats, M Sport Package (which includes an M Steering Wheel, M Wheels, and an upgraded suspension), Technology Package (which includes Heads Up Display, Premium Sound System, USB Connection, iPod Connection, and BMW Apps), and a power convertible top. It seats 4 comfortably unlike most convertibles which have back seats, but back seat passenger comfort is extremely limited. The 6 Series is one of the only Luxury Convertible which we recommend for families of 4. The Trunk space in the BMW 6 Series is also very generous compared to other convertibles. It offers 10.6 Cubic Feet with the top down and 12.3 Cubic feet with the top closed. I’ve personally fit 1 Suitcase and 2 Duffel bags in this convertible. We recommend that our renters pack duffel bags instead of suitcases when renting a convertible. The BMW 650i Convertible rental packs a powerful 4.4 Liter V8 Twin Turbo engine which pushes out 445 horsepower. It accelerates from 0-60mph in 4.4 Seconds! The BMW 650i Convertible is a great choice when looking for a Luxury Convertible Rental. The BMW 650i Convertible roof retracts in 19 Seconds. The MSRP of our BMW 6 Series is $101,750.

 Mercedes S550 Convertible Rental

The Mercedes S550 Convertible was just launched in 2017 and is one of the best Luxury Convertibles I have ever driven. It compares closely to the Bentley GTC in luxury, its packed with the newest features, and it has great trunk space. It comes at a cheaper price than the Bentley as well, it falls in between the BMW 6 Series and the Bentley GTC at an MSRP of $150,765. It has an amazing interior, featuring GPS Navigation, Heated Seats, Ventilated Seats, Heads Up Display, Ambient Lights, and iPhone integration. The Exterior is gorgeous, with a sports package the bumpers and side skirts look amazing. The Rims are upgraded AMG 21″ Wheels and they really stand out. This Convertible will seat 4 adults quite comfortable comparing to both the BMW and the Bentley. The Trunk is also generous for a convertible. With 12.4 Cubic feet of space in the trunk you can definitely fit some luggage, which makes the Mercedes S550 Convertible a good option for long distance drives. This Luxury Convertible Rental is the only one to offer automatic front and rear wind deflectors that make driving with the top down a pleasure as you can take phone calls or have conversations with your passengers while still enjoying the gorgeous california weather. The Mercedes S550 Convertible features a powerful 4.7 Liter V8 Twin Turbo Engine, 449 horsepower, and a 0-60mph in 4.6 Seconds. The Mercedes S550 Convertible is the best all around Luxury convertible available.

Porsche 911 Convertible Rental (911-2)

The Porsche 911 Convertible is the next car on our list. This 4 Seater Convertible was redesigned in 2017 with a new Engine, and many updated features. It features a smaller 3.0 Liter Twin Turbo Engine that pushes out 370 Horsepower and it will get you to 60mph in just 4.4 Seconds. Ours retails for $116,585. It is packed with updated features like Apple Car Play, Premium Sound, a Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel, and Heated Seats. The new 911 offers rear seats but passengers will not be comfortable. The seats are small, they sit at a 90 Degree angle, and offer almost no leg room. Even children will find the 911s rear seats uncomfortable. We recommend not putting passengers back there. The rear seats do serve a purpose however, they can be used to store extra luggage, which makes the Porsche 911 a great choice for long trips, if you are just 2 passengers. The 911 offers very little cargo space in the front trunk, 5.1 Cubic feet to be exact. It does however, have a very deep trunk and duffel bags stack nicely. We usually are able to fit 2 medium sized duffel bags. The Porsche 911 Convertible comes at a great price, and is extremely fun to drive!

Ferrari California T Rental

The next car on our list is also an exotic car rental. The Ferrari California T is the fastest Exotic Convertible that we offer. We only recommend children sit in the rear seats as they can be quite cramped. The Seats are also sporty and tough compared to the Bentley or the BMW 6 Series. Our Ferrari California T features a 3.9 Liter V8 Twin Turbo Engine which produces 553 Horsepower. It accelerates to 60mph in 3.9 Seconds! The Roar on the exhaust when the car hits 4000 RPMs is ridiculous and addicting. The Ferrari is not cheap but it makes for a great experience and it does fit 4 passengers. It offers decent trunk space at 12 Cubic feet with the roof closed and a viry limited 8.5 Cubic feet with the roof open. We definitely recommend packing duffel bags if you are renting the Ferrari. The Ferrari’s roof retracts in a quick 14 Seconds and it has an MSRP of $212,795.

Bentley Continental GTC Rental

The Bentley Continental GTC is the next Luxury Convertible rental option. This convertible falls under the category of Exotic Convertible Rental. It is the most expensive 4 Seater Convertible that we offer. It definitely offers many features that the others do not and it catches the eye like no other. When you pull up to the valet in the Bentley Continental GTC you can expect special treatment. Our Bentley includes the Mulliner Package which sets it apart from other Bentleys on the road by upgrading the wheels, grill, and side skirts. It also includes a sports package which upgrades the suspension and exhaust. The Bentley Convertible rental also fits 4 Passengers comfortably and features surprisingly great trunk space for a convertible. The Bentley Continental GTC offers 12.6 Cubic Feet of trunk space whether the top is up or down. Our Bentley GT features a powerful 4.0Liter V8 Twin Turbo engine which propels the car to 60mph in 4.5 Seconds. It has an MSRP of $246,825.

Maserati GT Convertible Rental

The Maserati Gran Turismo Convertible is next on our List. It also falls under the category of Exotic Convertible Rental. It features decent back seat space. Adults can sit in the back but the leg room is limited and we don’t recommend 4 Passengers sit in the Maserati for long distances. The Maserati also offers very limited trunk space. 2 Duffel bags at the most will fit in the trunk. The Maserati GT offers just 9.2 Cubic Feet of trunk space with the top open or closed. We recommend packing extremely light and limiting long distance driving as the trunk on the luxury convertible is small! Our Gran Turismo convertible features a 4.7 Liter V8 Engine that generates 454 horsepower and accelerates to 60mph in 5.4 Seconds. The MSRP of this Luxury convertible rental is $150,365. The Maserati offers a great blend of sportiness and comfort. It is a very unique Luxury Convertible and always turns heads.
