Hire the Ferrari 296 GTB in Monaco.

The 296 has a trick the older cars do not: eDrive. Pull away from the Hôtel de Paris in pure electric and you can cross the principality without waking the neighbourhood — useful in a place where the tunnels amplify every exhaust. Then, on the open road above the coast, the V6 wakes with a hard, high note Ferrari tuned deliberately to sing, and 819bhp arrives with the immediacy only a hybrid delivers.

This is a car for the Grande Corniche and the run east toward Italy, where its hybrid torque fills the gaps between the hairpins and the chassis simply shrinks the road. It is also entirely civil in Monaco itself — compact, comfortable, and quiet when you want it — which is more than most supercars can claim. We will suggest a route to suit the day before you set off.

We deliver the 296 fully prepared and charged to your Monaco address, your hotel or the harbour, or to Nice Côte d'Azur airport, and walk you through the hybrid system, eDrive and the driving modes before leaving you with it. It is the sharpest way to experience the Riviera in a Ferrari built squarely for the present.
