McLaren 720S Hire in Melbourne: What You Need to Know

The McLaren 720S is the fastest car in our range, and the one that most rewards someone who already knows how to drive. Here is what to expect before you book one.

The price

Self-drive McLaren 720S hire runs from $2,499 for 24 hours. Multi-day rates drop per day, and a refundable security bond is held for the hire. See our cost guide for exactly what the rate covers.

What makes the 720S different

The pace

A twin-turbocharged V8 and 0–100km/h in under three seconds. The acceleration is in a different category from almost anything else on the road. You do not need to break any limit to feel it — a short squeeze of the throttle from low speed is enough.

The structure

The 720S is built around a carbon-fibre tub, which makes it light, stiff and remarkably precise. It goes exactly where you point it.

The visibility

Unusually for a supercar, the glass canopy and thin pillars give a genuinely good view out. It is easier to place on the road than you might expect.

The doors

The 720S has dihedral doors that swing up and out. They are the moment everyone films. Two practical notes: they need less room to the side than a conventional door, but watch low ceilings in multi-storey car parks, and expect a crowd every time you open them.

Who it suits

Experienced drivers

If you have driven quick cars before and want the one that still feels extraordinary, this is it.

People who care about the drive more than the noise

The 720S is fast and sounds serious, but if theatre is the priority, the Huracán's V10 is louder and more dramatic.

Less suited to first-timers

If you have never driven anything like this, start with something more forgiving. Our guide to driving a supercar for the first time explains why, and the Ferrari 488 is a strong alternative.

Where to drive it

Anywhere with long sight lines and real corners — the Yarra Valley roads and the Black Spur are ideal. See our route guide.

Requirements

A full, current licence and a minimum age that is higher on the 720S than on our SUVs, confirmed with your quote. See the full requirements.
