Renting a premium or sports car in Javea — a BMW, Mercedes, Porsche or convertible — is more affordable than it looks outside August. The catch: high deposits and higher minimum age.
Typical prices (€/day, one-week rental)
| Type | Low season | High season |
|---|---|---|
| Economy (reference) | 9–17 € | 28–50 € |
| Luxury | 27–68 € | 84–200 € |
When to book: 4–8 weeks ahead in general; for July-August and for this specific car type, 2–3 months — the specific fleet is limited.
