Red Porsche 718 Boxster with the roof down on a residential street

Two Seats No Roof

Red Porsche 718 Boxster

A flat engine in the middle, three hundred horsepower, and the smallest, cheapest way into a Porsche that still drives like one.

Everything else in this issue is bought with a number. This one is bought with a corner.

The 718 Boxster puts its engine between the axles and its roof in the boot, which is the whole argument. Three hundred horsepower, two seats, rear-wheel drive, and a chassis that has been the benchmark for thirty years — for a fraction of what the cars either side of it cost.

Red Porsche 718 Boxster in profile with the roof down and PORSCHE side script
01Roof down, the profile is almost all wheelbase — and the name is written along the sill in the lettering Porsche has used on race cars since the sixties.

Mid-engined means the mass sits between the axles instead of over the nose, and everything follows from that. The car turns in without arguing, the rear stays where you put it, and the steering tells you what the front tyres are doing in a way that almost nothing else at this price still bothers to.

Which is why this is the car to take when the plan is a road rather than a restaurant. Mulholland at seven in the morning, the coast road after that, and a roof that folds away in the time it takes the light to change.

Other cars are bought with a number.

The particulars

The guest book

  • I rented the Porsche Boxster for a few days and had an amazing experience. The car was in perfect condition, super clean, and felt brand new. The ride was smooth and powerful — definitely one of the most fun cars I’ve ever driven. Communication was quick and easy, and pickup/drop-off took just a few minutes. I’d absolutely rent from this exotic car rental again.

Queries

Where can I rent a Porsche Boxster Convertible in Los Angeles?
Nizo Luxury rents the Porsche Boxster Convertible in Los Angeles — +1 (424) 303-6496. It is $286 a day; we bring it to your hotel or your home, or you collect it at no charge from our office on Robertson Boulevard.
How much does it cost to rent a Porsche Boxster in Los Angeles?
The red 718 Boxster is $286 a day. Five days is priced as a block rather than as five separate days, and twenty-one as another; the quote takes whichever combination is cheaper for your dates, and neither has to be asked for. Delivery to our Beverly Hills partner hotels is complimentary.
How quick is it?
Three hundred horsepower in a car this light and this low is quicker than the number suggests, and the mid-engined balance is why people who own faster cars keep borrowing this one for a canyon morning.
Can I see the dates before I call?
Yes — the diary on this page is the live fleet calendar. If a date is open there, it is open.
Is the Boxster a good car for Pacific Coast Highway?
It is the reason that road exists. Mid-engine balance, a roof that folds in under fifteen seconds, and a size that suits the corners north of Malibu far better than anything wider.
What is a Porsche Boxster rental like day to day?
Quick, small and easy, which is the part people are not expecting. The roof is electric and folds at low speed, visibility with it down beats any coupé, and it will sit in traffic on Sunset without complaining. Two seats, and a boot at each end for a weekend’s soft bags.

Renting the Porsche Boxster Convertible: the short answers

Can I book the Porsche Boxster Convertible with a driver?
Yes. A chauffeur is from $100 an hour on a two-hour minimum, added to the car at its day rate — $686 for a four-hour evening in this car. No security deposit is taken on a chauffeured booking. The same car can be driven to the event and yours with the keys the morning after; the chauffeur service page has the runs and the hours.
What do I need to rent the Porsche Boxster Convertible, and can international guests book?
A driver of 21 or over with a licence held at least two years — between 21 and 24 a young-driver fee of $50 a day applies on this car, and under 21 is considered case by case. A major credit card in the primary renter's name for the refundable hold, and cover for the car: your own full-coverage policy if it extends to a rental, or our Protection plan arranged with the booking. International guests rent on a passport and a home-country licence; no International Driving Permit is needed. The hold is released 5–7 business days after a clean return, longer only if there is damage to price. If the age floor or the cover is the thing in the way, the same car goes out with a driver instead — that booking asks neither of you.
How far ahead should I book the Porsche Boxster Convertible, and can I change the dates?
There is no notice period: the calendar on this page shows the days it is free, and once a booking is paid a car that is free can be on its way to you in about an hour — same day included. Moving the dates is free, as often as you need, outside the last day before the start; a change inside it keeps one day's rate. What comes back if you cancel is set out in our terms and conditions.
Can the Porsche Boxster Convertible be delivered to my hotel, my home or LAX?
Yes. Delivery is complimentary to the Beverly Wilshire, the Four Seasons at Doheny, L’Ermitage and the Maybourne, and collection from our Robertson Boulevard office costs nothing. LAX is $150 both ways with the car in the airport parking structure or $300 both ways to the terminal, half that for one direction. Any other address is priced by distance from the office, $75 one way inside 10 miles, and itemised on the quote before you pay.
How many miles are included, and can I take the Porsche Boxster Convertible out of California?
Every car carries its own daily mileage allowance, and yours arrives in writing with the booking confirmation, together with the per-mile rate for anything over it. The car may leave the state — Las Vegas, Arizona, up the coast — as long as you tell us the plan in advance and keep the allowance in mind; it comes home to Los Angeles, since there is no one-way drop in another city.
What does a weekend in the Porsche Boxster Convertible cost, and can I rent it by the hour?
$572 for two days and $858 for three, before the Protection plan, tax and any delivery — there is no separate weekend rate, and one day is the minimum on a Saturday too. The day is the shortest self-drive booking; by the hour, the car goes out with a driver, from $100 an hour on a two-hour minimum.
