Owning a Porsche in the UK is a dream for many, but hiring one is more achievable and gives you a chance to experience the perfect blend of performance, luxury, and iconic design. But with a diverse range of models to choose from, each with its own distinct personality and capabilities, selecting the right Porsche for your UK adventure can be a delightful challenge. We’ll help you compare all the models from Porsche so you can find the right one for your journey, from legendary 911 to versatile Cayenne.
When it comes to sports cars, Porsche has set the benchmark for decades. For those seeking to experience how it feels to drive a Porsche without breaking the bank, the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman are great options. Their mid-engine configuration provides you with exceptional balance and responsiveness, making them ideal for a weekend away. All you need to work out is if you want to take the top down or not. If you fancy upgrading your experience from the entry level models of the 718 then it has to be the Porsche 911. Its unmistakable design, refined over generations, the flat-six engine raising all the hairs on the back of you neck will almost convince you not to return it to the rental desk.
Let’s face it, the 718 and 911 are incredible cars, but don’t offer much space for anything other than people. So, if you’re needing a little extra space then perhaps the Panamera or the all-electric Taycan would be a better fit. The Panamera is slightly different from other saloons as it only features 2 seats in the back making it useless for a family of 5. However, if this suits your needs then the whole family can enjoy an almost 911 experience with a little extra room. For those of you who are more environmentally conscious, the all-electric Taycan is the one for you. With a similar layout of 2 in the back, it comfortable fits 4 adults. Much of the range will only get you 200 miles in real world conditions, but the performance battery plus model will see you getting 350 miles on a good day. If you’re worried about range, a fast charger will get it back to 80% in just over 20 minutes.
If you prefer sitting higher up but also want the Porsche experience then one of their SUVs might be a better option. Both the Macan and Cayenne have been class leaders in performance SUVs for well over a decade now. The Macan, Porsche’s smallest SUV is built on the chassis of the Audi Q5 so boosts plenty of space for the family and your luggage. With plenty of engine choices available and the new electric version, it’s an SUV that will suit most people. If you’re after a little more space the Cayenne is a good option. With the chassis shared with the Q7, Q8, Lambourghini Urus and Bentley Bentayga, there’s plenty of space for everything you need. And with a range of engines that will whip away your eyebrows, you’ll have almost as much fun as if you were in a 911.
If you’re after a sports car then you really can’t go wrong with either the 718 Boxster, 718 Cayman or the 911. It will only be budget that dictates which one you will rent. For the saloon experience you only have 2 options, but likely only one – the Taycan as it’s hard to come by a provider who rents the Panamera. And for a higher up seating experience you’ll hard pressed to find a more exhilerating car than either the Macan or the Cayenne. The Range Rover Sport comes close but lacks the thrill you get with a Porsche.
We know it’s not easy find the right Porsche to hire for your needs. Most comparison sites will say that you’ll get a “Porsche 718 or similar” with no guarantee of getting the car that you want. A few sites will allow you to rent specific models but there’s no way to compare all the models on the market. This lack of transparency is frustrating. That’s where unabound comes in.
