Mid-engine drama with the sky for a roof
Drive a 488 Spider
A Ferrari 488 Spider rental puts a twin-turbo 3.9L V8 behind your seat and lets the hardtop vanish in 14 seconds. That mid-engine layout and open roof turn an errand into an event — you'll hear every gear change. If you've been weighing a Ferrari rental, this is the version that brings the sky along.
On Turo, the car rental marketplace, you book your 488 Spider from a local vehicle owner. Pick the listing that fits your dates, then choose pickup or delivery from the options that listing offers.

Twin-turbo V8 power with the top down
The 488 Spider's 3.9L twin-turbo V8 makes 661 hp and 561 lb-ft of torque, enough to reach 60 mph in 3.0 seconds. A seven-speed dual-clutch transmission sends that power to the rear wheels. And the open roof doesn't dull the edge — performance stays coupe-like with the top down.
A retractable hardtop that folds in 14 seconds
The 488 Spider's retractable hardtop opens or closes in 14 seconds. It folds in two overlapping sections and rests flat above the engine, so it stows neatly behind the cabin. Your coupe becomes a convertible before the light turns green.
A hardtop also earns its place on the scale. It weighs about 55 lb less than a fabric soft top, which keeps the car lighter on its feet. When it's up, you've got a solid roof over your head instead of canvas (handy on a cool evening or when clouds roll in).
An aluminum spaceframe built for rear-wheel-drive handling
The 488 Spider rides on an aluminum spaceframe built from 11 alloys plus magnesium. It's 23% stiffer than its predecessor and matches the coupe's torsional rigidity — impressive for a car without a fixed roof. That stiff structure gives you a firm, confident base for every curve.
Power goes to the rear wheels only, so smooth inputs pay off. Ease into the throttle as you exit a turn and you'll feel the chassis and rear-drive layout working together. It's the kind of balance that makes a winding road feel like it was drawn just for you.
Stand out with a 488 Spider
A 488 Spider makes the moment the main event, whether that's a milestone birthday, an anniversary, a wedding, or a photoshoot. It's just as at home on coastal highways, where the open roof earns its keep. With two seats, it's built for you and one passenger, and it's a standout among exotic and luxury car rentals on Turo.
Top 488 Spider features
Maranello heritage and design
Three things set the 488 Spider apart beyond the numbers: its Maranello heritage and design, its tech pedigree, and its recent-classic appeal.
Every 488 Spider came out of Maranello, Italy, and that heritage shows the moment you walk up to one. The brand's in-house Styling Centre, led by Flavio Manzoni, shaped its lines. The result looks fast standing still and sits low enough to turn heads in any parking garage.
The design does real work, too. Active rear diffuser flaps sit at the tail, so the styling works for the drive as much as the photos. You get a car that's as purposeful as it is pretty — and you'll want to circle it once more before you climb in.
Tech pedigree
IEEE Spectrum named the 488 Spider one of its top 10 tech cars of 2016. That's praise from the engineering world, and it points to what's underneath: turbocharged performance packaged in an open-top, mid-engine V8 from Maranello.
You don't need to read a spec sheet to appreciate it. The engineering shows up as you drive, in a convertible that pairs turbocharged punch with open-air theater. It's a car that impressed engineers and still delivers the kind of drive you'll remember long after you hand back the keys.
Recent-classic appeal
The 488 Spider was built for model years 2016–2019, and it's the last of its line before its successor arrived. That makes it a recent classic you can still book and drive today. It's a sought-after convertible, and the handcrafted cabin makes every minute behind the wheel feel special.
Booking one on Turo lets you live with a modern icon for a weekend, a week, or longer. You get the full experience of a Maranello convertible from the final chapter of its line. And when friends ask what you drove, you'll have a story worth telling.

488 Spider driving tips
A few simple habits make your first miles in a 488 Spider more relaxed.
Ease into the throttle while you learn how the twin-turbo V8 delivers its power.
Use the paddle shifters when you want to pick gears in the seven-speed dual-clutch.
Take steep driveways and speed bumps slowly, since it's a low-slung car at 47.7 in tall.
Raise or lower the hardtop while parked or at low speeds, up to 25 mph.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
