Why choose Autofusion

What Sets Lotus Apart

Lotus is one of the most revered sports car manufacturers from Britain. With each Lotus model manufactured, it is the philosophy of light-weight construction and driver involvement which ensures each model is something truly unique in terms of driving. Lotus hire is not intended for people who want comfort of an SUV such as a Duster, a Toyota RAV4, a Suzuki Jimny, or a luxury saloon. Lotus hire is for people who want the ultimate road car to be hired on any given day.

Through Autofusion, find Lotus hire options from specialist rental partners:

Available Lotus models for rent include Elise, Exige, and Emira

Lotus Models You Can Hire Through Autofusion

Autofusion's partner network carries a broad range of Lotus vehicles across all key categories.

Elise is a traditional Lotus and probably the most available British sports car in terms of self-drive hire within the UK. Lightweight body, agile handling and mid-engine setup make for an experience that cannot be matched by any other car. Elise is suitable for both experienced drivers and those trying out Lotus for the first time.

Whereas the Elise is a sporty but versatile model, the Exige is the more hardcore and focused option of the two. High performance, downforce, and more challenging driving dynamics make it a great choice for drivers seeking the utmost Lotus experience in a road-going automobile. Available through our specialist Lotus car hire partners.

Lotus Emira is the brand's latest combustion-engine powered sports car and is the most approachable of all Lotus models in terms of usability and features – providing an alternative to Tesla. It is available through our specialist partners and will be suitable for you if you're after the modern Lotus performance and specification in a package that is more refined than that of the Elise and Exige.

Lotus Pricing

Lotus Hire Rates Explained

Lotus car hire belongs to the specialist sports car category of the UK car hire market. Prices take into account the performance, rarity and maintenance costs of the cars in question.

Pricing is dependent on the vehicle model, rental period and mileage allowance. Mileage allowance on Lotus hire is lower than for a typical car rental. Higher security deposits are charged as compared to mainstream automobiles owing to the cars' value. Rental rates are normally provided on a daily basis while weekend/week-long rental packages are priced lower per day.

Each Autofusion booking includes the full rate, mileage allowance and excess mileage rates, deposit, insurance and all the terms and conditions.

Who Should Hire a Lotus

Driving experiences and personal milestones: Hiring a Lotus Elise or Exige for a day or weekend is not an ordinary experience when compared to other hire cars. Lightweight build, accurate steering and road feel make even known roads feel brand new. The hire car is suitable for celebrating a milestone birthday, for self-reward and for drivers who want to experience a true British sports car.
Pre-purchase testing: The best way to test drive the Lotus before purchasing one is by hiring it. Hiring allows checking whether the ownership experience will fit into the lifestyle and the physical requirements. Both the Elise and Emira are available for such a hire period.
Track days and circuit driving: Track specific models of Lotus such as the Exige S and 2-Eleven can be hired from the partners providing track hire services in the Autofusion network. They are different from road hire and are hired on a per session basis.
Film, photo shoots and content creation: Lotuses are often hired by professionals who create visual content requiring a British sports car.
Special occasions and celebrations: An Emira or an Elise will be a great addition to a special event in your life. There are shorter rental periods suitable for one day driving experience available from specialist Autofusion partners.

Lotus Hire: FAQs

Everything you need to know before booking your next luxury or supercar rental. Still curious? Our concierge team is one tap away.

Lotus models generally include Elise, Exige and Emira from specialist rental partners. For track use models there are track day rental services that will provide those cars. Use the filters to see the cars available for rent for your desired dates and location.

Specialist Lotus rental partners usually request that a driver is above the age of 25, but in some cases, there can be a requirement of 28 years and several years of clean licence record. Age and licence requirements are shown on the individual listing.

Lotus rental falls into the category of specialist sports car rental. The rates differ according to the model and the period. Elise is the cheapest one among them, Exige and Emira are more expensive. All prices including deposit and mileages are listed individually.

The security deposits for the Lotus rental is considerably higher compared to other regular car rentals. Deposit amount is shown individually on the listings before booking.

Yes. The Lotus hire agreement does have a mileage limit per day rather than unlimited mileage. If you exceed that, an excess mileage cost per mile will apply. This applies to specialist sports car hire in general.

Standard car hire agreements do not allow track hire. Track hire for Lotuses can be arranged using separate specialist track day companies. Check terms of individual listing if track hire is your intention.

The Eletre SUV and Evija hypercar are not currently available using short-term hire agreements. Both are currently available using business contract hire. You can contact our partner network to gain access to the Eletre or Evija.

Since there are fewer Lotus hire cars than other makes and models, it would be best to make your reservation between two to four weeks before your intended date of hire. For high demand times such as summer weekends, it might be wise to book earlier.
