2024 Porsche 718 Boxster S
Renting a Porsche 718 Boxster S in Miami means dropping the soft top on one of the most balanced mid-engine sports cars ever built and pointing it at the causeways. A Porsche rental Miami reservation puts 350 turbocharged horsepower, a mid-engine chassis that earned "one of the greats" from Car and Driver, and open-sky Biscayne Bay in the same afternoon. It is a driver's car first, a convertible second — as alive at 35 mph on the MacArthur Causeway as it is at speed on an open highway.
What the 718 Boxster S feels like in Miami
The 718 Boxster S runs a mid-engine turbo flat-four through a seven-speed PDK, 0–60 in roughly four seconds, rear-wheel drive, with a fabric roof that drops in under ten seconds. The appeal is chassis feel and top-down coastal driving rather than exhaust theater — brilliantly communicative steering and the kind of feedback that makes a relaxed coastal cruise as engaging as a fast one. No other convertible in the fleet delivers this much driver connection for the dollar. Honest note: the turbo flat-four is characterful rather than spine-tingling in the way a naturally aspirated flat-six is; you rent this car for how it talks to you through the wheel, not for the soundtrack.
The numbers
Who books the 718 Boxster S
This car attracts couples marking milestone weekends — an anniversary dinner in Brickell, a proposal drive over the Rickenbacker at golden hour. It shows up during Art Basel and Miami Swim Week, chosen by creative professionals and designers who want presence without shouting. Driving enthusiasts reach for it because a mid-engine roadster with this level of chassis feedback is rare at any rental counter. Business travelers who know cars book it for the tasteful arrival it delivers in Coral Gables or at a valet stand on Collins — quick enough, compact enough, unmistakably Porsche without being ostentatious.

The car is delivered clean with a full tank and goes back the same way. Apple CarPlay, heated seats, Bose surround sound, sport exhaust, Sport Chrono, and the backup camera are all on board. Advance booking is strongly recommended during Art Basel, Ultra, Formula 1 weekend, and the December-through-February high season; valet parking is the move in Miami Beach.
718 Boxster S rental Miami — FAQs
Is the 718 Boxster S a good convertible for Miami weather?
It's ideal. The fabric top drops in under ten seconds, and the mid-engine balance means it's as engaging at a relaxed 35 mph on the MacArthur Causeway as it is at speed. For top-down coastal cruising on a clear Miami day, few cars in any class feel this connected to the road.
How does the Boxster S compare to the Corvette Z06?
Different cars for different days. The Z06 is the dramatic naturally-aspirated supercar — the one you rent for the sound and the spectacle. The Boxster S is the driver's roadster: lighter on its feet, brilliantly communicative, built for top-down coastal driving rather than exhaust theater. Pick the Boxster when the appeal is chassis feel and open sky; pick the Z06 when it's pure presence and noise.
What's the security deposit and minimum age?
A refundable $1,000 security deposit is held at pickup and released after a clean return. The minimum age to rent is 21 — most Miami exotic shops require 25, so the Boxster S is reachable for younger drivers, subject to insurance verification confirmed at booking.
Where should I drive the Boxster S in Miami?
Top down on the Rickenbacker Causeway to Key Biscayne at golden hour is the signature run — water and skyline, then space to enjoy the chassis on the island side. Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue for the South Beach arrival, and A1A north or south for relaxed oceanfront cruising the car was made for.
