The 5 best luxury car rentals in Sydney for a true upper-echelon experience
Some people might argue that renting instead of buying is like throwing money at nothing, building no equity in the long term. But what if you’re renting something for a while, in order to create a feeling or memory that will last a lifetime?
Renting a high-end car to fulfill your driving fantasies is one way to do this.
Twenty-four hours with a Porsche is something you’ll treasure forever — even if you need to return the car afterwards. These luxury car rentals in Sydney will help you check off that bucket list item.
How much does luxury car rental cost in Sydney?
Luxury car rental in Sydney will cost you around $200 – $2,300 (excluding GST) for 24 hours with the vehicle. Higher-end models or brands will cost you more. In some cases, custom quotes apply. Memberships with their own pricing schemes are sometimes available.
1. Prestige Rentals
Phone: 0414 000 111
Business hours: 24/7
Prestige Rentals is a luxury vehicle rental company with dozens of locations all over Australia, including many within Sydney. The business rents out not only luxury cars and motorbikes, but even boats and helicopters.
They’re open 24 hours a day, every day, and provide upfront pricing for all their vehicle rentals. You can rent for a couple of hours or a couple of days, with prices varying accordingly.
You can even request longer rental time-frames of up to a month, in which case you’ll get substantial discounts.
Prestige Rentals can also prepare gift cards if you’d like to set up a luxury vehicle rental for a (very lucky) friend or relative. They have chauffeur services available too, in case you really want to feel like a king.
Most users praised the business’ effectiveness and efficiency. Unfortunately, it isn’t all champagne and roses; a few customers complained about unauthorized charges for vehicle rentals.
These incidents appear to be few and far between, however.
The service was top notch
“I highly recommend Prestige Rentals Sydney. We rented their beautiful Rolls Royce for the weekend and had a wonderful time. The service was top notch from the booking to the easy collection and the car was in spectacular condition. We are looking forward to using them again next time we visit Sydney.”
– Tammy I, Google review
I will be using them again in the future
“Hired the Lamborghini Urus last week in Sydney, the whole experience was excellent. Booking was straightforward and the car was waiting for collection when we arrived in Sydney. Great communication throughout the hire.”

Absolutely amazing
“Absolutely amazing staff, so friendly and so so helpful. Very quick pickup and they even had a similar car on reserve in case ours wasn’t ready. Would definitely definitely use again and would highly recommend.”
– Clare Adie, Google review
Have always had a great experience
“I have used their services on numerous occasions and have always had a great experience. Picking the keys up takes 5 minutes, with staff always going above and beyond to help. The cars are great with plenty to choose from and have a fair price to match. Highly recommend their services.”

3. Ultimate Car Rentals
Address: 139 Princes Hwy, Arncliffe
Ultimate Car Rentals provides the ultimate experience for a car enthusiast: getting behind the wheel of a supercar.
Their roster includes the truly jaw-dropping luxury vehicle brands like Lamborghini, Porsche, and even Aston Martin in case you’d like to feel like James Bond for a day (we’ve all been there).
Customers consistently describe interaction with the business staff as hospitable and professional.
The staff can get you a rental car on short notice if necessary, and are adept at impressing corporate clients. If you request it, they may even be able to set up whole-day events for you to test-drive supercars all day.
Though we got excited about the vehicles and services Ultimate Car Rentals can offer, we were a little let down with their website, which seems clunky and incomplete.
We couldn’t find a business phone number on their page, and the website is equally vague about business hours. You might need to resort to sending an email or a message form, and waiting for a response.
I highly recommend this team of pros
“I recently had a fantastic experience with Frank and the team. The customer service was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure a smooth experience. The supercars were clean, well-maintained, and exceeded my expectations.”
– Sunny Varma, Google review
Highly recommend for corporate events
“Frank hosted the most wonderful partner event. Our partners are still talking about how amazing the event was, and personally speaking he ran a very well-structured day.”

4. U-DRIVE Luxury Car Rentals
Address: 115 Bathurst St
Phone: 1300 310 601
Business hours: 24/7
Established in 2011, U-DRIVE Luxury Car Rentals specialises in both providing a wide range of vehicles, as well as creating a convenient and luxurious experience for customers.
Their roster of luxury vehicles made us drool: high-end racing cars designed and modified for increased speed and handling, vehicles fitted with eye-wateringly powerful engines, and more. That “click to book” button has never looked so tempting.
For a fee, U-DRIVE will happily deliver rental vehicles to you on the same day you order. Free delivery is available if you sign up for a longer-term rental.
One of the business’ core principles is to make luxury car rentals available to everyone at an affordable price. While this is a great goal, it was puzzling to see no specific pricing information on their website.
We did find out that you’ll need to pay a refundable security deposit before renting, but this isn’t unusual.
100000% recommend Udrive
“Super helpful, super informative, and of course supplied super luxury rides. Was the perfect gift for my groom to enjoy whilst us girls were getting dressed for the morning of the wedding. Organised a car meet for the boys to enjoy as he’s a car enthusiast and this definitely ticked off a dream of his bucket list, and being able to drive it yourself is incredible.”
– Alicia Slade, Google review
The experience was nothing short of extraordinary
“I recently had the pleasure of renting a Ferrari from U-Drive, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I made the initial inquiry, their team displayed an impressive level of professionalism, knowledge, and attentiveness. The selection of vehicles was outstanding, offering a range of luxurious options that cater to every car enthusiast’s dream.”
– Bill Hamdan, Google review
5. Exotic Auto Club Sydney
Address: 42 McCauley St, Matraville
Phone: 1300 488 911
Business hours: 24/7
Exotic Auto Club Sydney provides you with the full range of services: self-driving, chauffeurs, multiple luxury models, and membership options.
For the most part, pricing is easily visible on the website for each car model you rent. Rentals start at around $680 (with GST on top of that) for a Porsche Boxster S, for example.
In some cases or for certain vehicles, you’ll have to ask for a quote.
In case you want to ride a luxury car but would rather someone else did the driving, you can hire a professional chauffeur for a custom price. Exotic Auto Club will welcome your feedback about this chauffeur service (or any of their services) afterwards.
As for memberships, if you’re just starting out, you’ll get a ridiculously affordable $10-per-year entry subscription. An Elite Connoisseur membership with all the perks will run you $2,999 per year.
A few rare customer reviews mentioned negatives, such as damaged vehicles and unreliable staff, though such occurrences are exceedingly rare.
Huge thanks to Exotic Auto Club
“I’m so happy I was able to rent a Ferrari at a great price! Huge thanks to Exotic Auto Club for offering their amazing birthday discount, it allowed me to surprise my best mate on his birthday with an unforgettable experience. We enjoyed up to 30% off, and he had the best time last night. It truly made his birthday extra special.”
– Ming Hao, Google review
What a wonderful company
“I took my son in the Orange Hurricane to his year 6 formal, we had an amazing time driving the car to his formal and the entire school was mesmerised by it.”
– Robert Calvert, Google review
