The short version: A Porsche 911 Carrera S rents for $695/day and a Porsche 911 GT3 rents for $1,095/day at Monarc VIP in Miami. Both include 100 miles per day and liability insurance. After tax and fuel, a single day in a Carrera S costs roughly $780, and a GT3 day runs about $1,210. This guide breaks down the full math for 1-day, 3-day, and 7-day rentals -- both models -- so you know the real all-in number before you book.
How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Porsche 911 GT3 in Miami?
The 911 GT3 is the track weapon of the Porsche lineup. Naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six, 502 horsepower, 3.2 seconds to 60, rear-wheel drive, and a sound that will make you religious about internal combustion. It is also the more expensive of our two 911s.
Base daily rate: $1,095/day
Here is what the GT3 actually costs for different rental lengths:
| Duration | Daily Rate | Subtotal | Tax (7%) | Est. Fuel | All-In Estimate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Day | $1,095 | $1,095 | $76.65 | ~$40 | ~$1,212 |
| 3 Days | $1,095 | $3,285 | $229.95 | ~$120 | ~$3,635 |
| 7 Days | $1,095 | $7,665 | $536.55 | ~$280 | ~$8,482 |
The fuel estimates assume about 100 miles per day at the GT3's combined fuel economy of roughly 16 MPG, with premium fuel at ~$4.20/gallon in Miami. That flat-six drinks a little more when you are actually enjoying it, which you will be.

- Power: 502 HP
- 0-60 MPH: 3.2 seconds
- Drivetrain: RWD
- Seats: 2
- Mileage: 100 miles/day included
- Overage: $7/mile
- Security Deposit: $1,500
- Booking Deposit: $500 (applied to rental total)
How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Porsche 911 Carrera S in Miami?
The 911 Carrera S is the everyday supercar. Twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat-six, 443 horsepower, 3.3 seconds to 60, and 2+2 seating so you can technically bring friends (as long as those friends are under 5'8"). It is $400/day less than the GT3 and still unmistakably a Porsche 911.
Base daily rate: $695/day
| Duration | Daily Rate | Subtotal | Tax (7%) | Est. Fuel | All-In Estimate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Day | $695 | $695 | $48.65 | ~$30 | ~$774 |
| 3 Days | $695 | $2,085 | $145.95 | ~$90 | ~$2,321 |
| 7 Days | $695 | $4,865 | $340.55 | ~$210 | ~$5,416 |
Fuel estimates based on roughly 20 MPG combined. The Carrera S is more efficient than the GT3 because of the turbo setup, and you are less likely to be wringing it out to 9,000 RPM at every opportunity.
Carrera S Specs at a Glance
- Engine: 3.0L Twin-Turbo Flat-Six
- Power: 443 HP
- 0-60 MPH: 3.3 seconds
- Drivetrain: RWD

- Overage: $7/mile
- Security Deposit: $1,000
- Booking Deposit: $500 (applied to rental total)
Is the GT3 Worth the $400/Day Upgrade Over the Carrera S?
This is the question I get asked the most, and the honest answer depends entirely on what kind of driver you are.
Here is what $400/day buys you:
| Category | 911 GT3 | 911 Carrera S |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 4.0L NA Flat-Six | 3.0L Twin-Turbo Flat-Six |
| Horsepower | 502 HP | 443 HP |
| 0-60 MPH | 3.2s | 3.3s |
| Redline | ~9,000 RPM | ~7,500 RPM |
| Exhaust Note | Motorsport scream | Refined flat-six burble |
| Suspension | Race-tuned, rear-axle steering | Sport-tuned adaptive |
| Daily Rate | $1,095 | $695 |
| Security Deposit | $1,500 | $1,000 |
| Seats | 2 | 2+2 |
The performance gap on paper -- 0.1 seconds in the 0-60 sprint and 59 horsepower -- does not tell the real story. The GT3's naturally aspirated engine is the difference. It revs to 9,000 RPM with a mechanical intensity that turbocharged engines cannot replicate. Every gear change in the GT3 sounds like it was engineered at the Nurburgring, because it literally was.
The Carrera S, by contrast, is brilliant in a different way. Instant turbo torque, smooth power delivery, and a ride quality that does not rattle your fillings over the Rickenbacker Causeway. It is the Porsche you want if the drive is part of the day, not the entire day.
What Is Included in the Rental Price?
Both Porsche models include the same baseline at Monarc VIP:
- 100 miles per day. That is enough for a day exploring Miami, Brickell, South Beach, Wynwood, and Coconut Grove with room to spare. Going to the Keys or Fort Lauderdale? Budget extra miles at $7 each.
- Liability insurance. Included in every rental, no extra charge. Covers third-party bodily injury and property damage. For details on full coverage options, read our exotic car rental insurance guide.
- Pre-rental inspection with photos. We document the vehicle's condition before handoff so there is zero ambiguity at return.
- 24/7 roadside assistance. Flat tire, dead battery, lockout -- covered.
- Complimentary delivery (3+ day rentals). We bring the car to your hotel, airport, or residence anywhere in greater Miami at no charge on rentals of three days or more.
What is NOT included:
- Fuel. Return the car at the same level you received it. Premium (93 octane) only.
- Mileage overage. $7 per mile beyond the 100-mile daily allowance.
- Tolls. SunPass or Toll-by-Plate charges on turnpikes and expressways are your responsibility.
- CDW (Collision Damage Waiver). Optional, but recommended if your personal insurance does not cover high-value vehicles.
How Does a Porsche Rental Compare to Other Exotics in Price?
Porsche occupies the middle ground in an exotic fleet. Faster than the entry-level exotics, more accessible than the Italian supercars. Here is where both 911s sit relative to the rest of the Monarc VIP fleet:
| Vehicle | Daily Rate | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Corvette C8 | $395/day | Entry Exotic |
| Porsche 911 Carrera S | $695/day | Premium Sports Car |
| Porsche 911 GT3 | $1,095/day | Track-Bred Exotic |
| Lamborghini Huracan EVO Spyder | $1,295/day | Supercar |
| Ferrari 488 Spider | $1,395/day | Supercar |
| Lamborghini Aventador | $1,795/day | Flagship Supercar |
The Carrera S at $695/day gives you 443 HP and one of the most recognizable silhouettes in automotive history for $300 more than a C8. The GT3 at $1,095/day puts you $200/day below a Huracan EVO Spyder with a driving experience that some enthusiasts actually prefer -- the GT3's naturally aspirated engine and rear-wheel-drive purity is a different flavor of fast than a mid-engine V10.
What Is the Best Porsche to Rent for Different Occasions?
The right 911 depends on what you are doing with it. Here is how I match people to the car when they call:
Date Night / Anniversary
Pick: Carrera S ($695/day). Comfortable enough for a passenger in heels, refined exhaust note that does not overpower conversation, and 2+2 seating means you can throw a bag in the back seats. Drive to Mandolin Aegean Bistro or Fiola for dinner without arriving rattled from a race-tuned suspension.
Birthday / Bucket List Experience
Pick: GT3 ($1,095/day). If someone is gifting themselves (or receiving) a dream car experience, the GT3 is the one that creates the memory. That 9,000-RPM flat-six scream does not exist in any other rental car in Miami. Period.
Weekend Cruise / Content Creation
Pick: Carrera S ($695/day). More photogenic than you think, and the $400/day savings over a GT3 means you can extend to a 3-day weekend for less than 2 days in a GT3. The Carrera S photographs beautifully on Ocean Drive, the Venetian Causeway, and in front of the Faena Hotel.
Track Day Prep or Performance Driving
Pick: GT3 ($1,095/day). If you are heading to Homestead-Miami Speedway or just want to feel what a race car with plates drives like on public roads, nothing else in this price range touches the GT3's chassis feedback. Rear-axle steering, carbon ceramic brake feel, and that engine -- the car communicates like nothing else.
Multi-Day Keys Road Trip
Pick: Carrera S ($695/day). The GT3's stiff suspension will remind you of every bridge joint on the Seven Mile Bridge. The Carrera S is tuned for grand touring. It is also more fuel-efficient, which matters on a 300-mile round trip. Budget for extra miles at $7/mile beyond the 100-mile daily allowance.
How Do Deposits Work on a Porsche Rental?
There are two separate deposits, and people confuse them constantly. Here is the breakdown:
Booking Deposit: $500
This is paid when you reserve the car. It is applied toward your total rental cost -- it is not an extra charge on top of the daily rate. If your 3-day Carrera S rental totals $2,321 all-in, the $500 booking deposit is subtracted from that. You pay the remaining $1,821 at pickup.
Security Deposit: $1,000 (Carrera S) or $1,500 (GT3)
This is a pre-authorization hold on your credit card at pickup. No money leaves your account. The hold reserves that amount in case of damage, excessive mileage, or fuel discrepancies. It is released 3-5 business days after you return the vehicle in the same condition.
Important details:
- Debit cards are not accepted for the security deposit. Must be a credit card.
- The hold reduces your available credit for the duration of the rental plus the release period.
- Some banks display the hold as a pending charge. It is not. If it has not released after 7 business days, call your bank.
Does Porsche Rental Pricing Change During Peak Season?
Miami has high-demand periods where exotic car availability tightens and pricing can adjust. The patterns I see year after year:
- Art Basel Week (early December): The busiest week for exotic rentals in Miami. Everything books out. If you want a GT3 during Basel, reserve 3-4 weeks minimum in advance.
- Spring Break (March-April): Steady demand, especially for convertibles and sports cars. The Carrera S moves fast during this window.
- Miami Grand Prix (May): F1 weekend drives massive demand for anything with a Porsche, Ferrari, or Lamborghini badge. The GT3 is the first car to book out because F1 fans want the closest thing to a race car they can legally drive on the street.
- Holiday Weekends (Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day): Higher demand, book at least 2 weeks out.
- Summer (June-August): Slightly lower demand than winter season. This is when availability is best and you have the most flexibility on dates.
The published rates on our site are accurate year-round. During peak events, the bigger issue is availability, not price surprises. Book early and you lock in the listed rate.
