Renting a car you’d normally only dream about for a few days is one of the best ways to enjoy a weekend. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, planning a photoshoot, or simply want to fulfil a long-held dream behind the wheel of a 600-horsepower saloon, choosing the right car will define the entire experience. The tips below will help you pick wisely so you can enjoy every mile to the full.
First, get clear on what you’re after
Sports cars differ more than they appear at first glance. Before you start browsing the catalogue, think about what you expect from your weekend.
Do you want a pure driving experience — precise steering, the sound of the engine, a connection with the car? Then go for something like the rear-wheel-drive BMW M2. It’s a compact, sharp coupé for enthusiasts who want to savour every corner.
Are you more interested in luxury and comfort with a serious dose of power? Then a Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S or C63 SE Performance makes sense — saloons that can handle a long journey as easily as a sub-3.5-second sprint to 100 km/h.
And if what you want most is maximum attention and something truly exceptional, then a Tesla Cybertruck or Audi RS6 is the obvious choice. Both cars turn heads wherever you arrive.
How many people and how much luggage?
It sounds trivial, but it’s a common stumbling block. A compact coupé like the BMW M2 is superb for a solo drive or for two, but it’s less suited to a trip for four with luggage. If you need to carry more people or bags, opt for a sports saloon or estate — the Audi RS6 is the textbook example: it has supercar performance yet seats five and swallows a weekend’s worth of luggage.
Manual or automatic?
In modern high-performance cars, an automatic is the standard, and most drivers will appreciate it — especially in Prague traffic. A manual gearbox is a rarity these days, offered by only a handful of cars. If the “old-school” experience of changing gears appeals to you, be aware that driving will be more demanding and less pleasant in traffic. For a first taste of a sports car, an automatic tends to be the safer choice.
Don’t underestimate the practical details
An experience can be spoiled not only by the wrong car, but also by unpleasant surprises. Before you book, check a few things:
What’s included in the price. With a reputable rental company, insurance is part of the price and there are no hidden fees. Always check whether the daily rate includes insurance and what the daily mileage limit is. Refundable deposit. This is standard with high-performance cars, and the amount varies by vehicle category. Plan for it in advance. Driver age and experience. Sports cars usually have a higher minimum age and require a certain length of driving experience. Vehicle handover. Confirm where and how you’ll collect the car. Some rental companies, DREAMRENTAL included, will deliver the vehicle across Prague and elsewhere in the Czech Republic with a full tank. Plan where you’ll drive
A sports car deserves a proper route. Prague traffic may not suit a sports car, but just a short way out of the city and great opportunities open up. The rolling roads around Beroun, the drive to Karlštejn, or a trip into the hills of South Bohemia all let the car show what it can do. Plan stops for photos — a car like the Cybertruck or RS6 makes for a rewarding subject, and your weekend photos will last longer than the memory of the engine note.
Book in advance
The most sought-after cars — particularly on weekends, in summer and around the holidays — tend to be reserved well ahead. If you have a specific date or occasion in mind, book as early as possible. An online reservation takes just a few minutes: you choose the date, the rental company confirms availability and prepares the contract, which you can handle from the comfort of home.
Conclusion
Choosing the right rental car is mainly about matching the vehicle to what you expect from your weekend. Decide whether you’re after a driving experience, luxury or attention, factor in the number of passengers and the practical conditions — and book in good time. After that, all that’s left is to collect the keys and set off.
