- Delivered across Sydney
- Bond and fees shown before you pay
- Never swapped to a lesser car
Bondi is the most requested supercar location in Sydney and one of the most difficult places to actually keep one. The streets are narrow, the driveways are steep, the speed humps are numerous and parking is contested at every hour. We deliver here constantly, so rather than pretend none of that exists, here is how to book one without it becoming a problem.
Part of our supercar hire Sydney guide.

Tell us the street and the dates. We will tell you honestly what will and will not work.
The Eastern Suburbs Problem, Stated Honestly
Every operator will happily take a Bondi supercar booking. Very few will tell you what the
week is actually going to be like. Here is the version we give people on the phone.
The driveways are the real hazard
Dover Heights, Ben Buckler, North Bondi and the Vaucluse side have some of the steepest
residential driveways in Sydney, often with a sharp transition at the footpath. The Huracan and
the McLaren both have around 120mm of clearance and both have nose lift systems, but a steep
apron taken square-on will still catch. Approach at an angle, slowly, with the lift raised. We
demonstrate this at handover and it is the single most useful two minutes of the booking.
The speed humps behind the beach are relentless
The grid between Campbell Parade and Old South Head Road is heavily traffic-calmed. It is
entirely manageable at walking pace with the nose raised, and genuinely damaging if you take one
at normal speed. Plan your route out of the area once and then reuse it.
Street parking is not realistic
Leaving a car like this at a metered space on Campbell Parade overnight is not something we
would recommend, and resident permit zones are enforced aggressively. If you do not have off-street
parking, tell us before you book. It changes what we would suggest, and in some cases it changes
whether the booking makes sense at all.
Which is why the Ferrari is underrated here
The FF sits considerably higher than the other two, has four seats and a real boot, and is
far less fussy about driveways and humps. For an eastern-suburbs booking of more than a day it is
frequently the better car, even though people usually ask for the Lamborghini first.
The Supercar Fleet
Lamborghini Huracan
The 2019 LP610-4: 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10, 449kW, all-wheel drive, 0-100km/h in 3.2
seconds. The noise is the product. It is also all-wheel drive, which matters when a Bondi
southerly arrives without warning. Low, so the driveway advice above applies fully.
McLaren 650S Coupe
The 2015 car: 478kW twin-turbo V8, rear-wheel drive, 0-100km/h in 3.0 seconds, carbon tub,
dihedral doors. The doors are the most photographed thing in our fleet and in Bondi that is not a
small consideration. It is the lowest and the sharpest of the three, and the least suited to a
week of speed humps.
Ferrari FF
The 2013 shooting brake: 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V12, 486kW, all-wheel drive, four seats,
usable boot. Higher, more practical, and a V12. The sensible choice that is not remotely sensible.
Before You Book
Three things differ from the rest of the fleet. A full licence held for the required minimum
period is essential, provisional licences are not accepted, and there are additional age and
driving-history requirements we confirm at enquiry rather than at handover. The refundable bond
is materially higher, and the figure is shown before you confirm. And track use is not permitted
on any of our vehicles under any circumstances.
Two of the three are strict two-seaters. Only the Ferrari FF carries four people and real
luggage. Use 98 in all of them.
Where to Drive From Bondi
Old South Head Road to Watsons Bay
Twenty minutes north through North Bondi and Dover Heights to Watsons Bay and The Gap. The
harbour opens up on the left and there are several places to stop. This is the first drive almost
every Bondi booking does, usually within an hour of the handover.
The Royal National Park
The proper drive. South through the eastern suburbs, across the Captain Cook Bridge and into
the park at Audley. Sir Bertram Stevens Drive is sealed, sweeping and tree-shaded, about an hour
from Bondi, and it is the closest road that genuinely suits these cars.
Grand Pacific Drive
Continue south to Bald Hill and the Sea Cliff Bridge. The most photographed road in the state
and the most common full-day destination for a supercar booking from the east.
North to the Old Pacific Highway
Over the Harbour Bridge and up to the old road between Berowra and the Hawkesbury. Around an
hour from Bondi and worth it for the surface and the corners.
What to skip
Do not take one of these through the CBD for the sake of it. The tunnels are fine, the surface
streets are not, and there is nothing to gain. Head south or north and start enjoying it once you
are past the city.
What Bondi Books These For
Milestone birthdays
Overwhelmingly the biggest category, usually a weekend with the Royal National Park on the
Saturday. The Huracan is requested most, the FF is recommended most, and the McLaren is chosen by
people who already know exactly what they want.
Proposals
Bald Hill, The Gap and the Sea Cliff Bridge are all common. Tell us if that is the plan.
Punctuality and presentation matter far more than usual on those bookings and we will treat them
accordingly.
Photography, content and campaigns
Bondi is one of the most photographed places in the country and these cars work hard here.
Commercial shoots must be declared on the booking so the correct cover is in place. Standard hire
cover does not extend to commercial production and the difference is significant if something
goes wrong.
Visitors home for a few weeks
A large share of eastern-suburbs bookings are people back from overseas who want something
worth driving while they are here. Delivery to a family address rather than an airport counter is
the entire appeal.
Where the Car Actually Looks Good, and When
Bondi is photographed more than almost anywhere in Australia, which means the obvious spots are
crowded and the light is fought over. A few specifics that make the difference.
Early morning at Ben Buckler
The northern headland car park looks back over the whole beach with the sun coming up behind
you. Before about seven it is nearly empty, the light is soft and low, and you can park square
without a crowd. It is the single best supercar photograph available in the eastern suburbs and
almost nobody bothers to get up for it.
Late afternoon on Military Road, Dover Heights
Heading north along the clifftop with the ocean on your right and the light behind you. There
are several pull-offs with genuine drops behind them, and the road surface is good enough to make
the drive itself worthwhile rather than just a photo stop.
The Gap and Watsons Bay at golden hour
Twenty minutes from Bondi and the natural end point of the northern run. Parking at Watsons Bay
is limited and gets taken early on weekends, so aim for a weekday if you can.
What to avoid
Campbell Parade at midday on a weekend. It is slow, tightly parked, full of opening doors and
crossing pedestrians, and there is no photograph there worth the risk to a car with a splitter
this low. If you want the beach in frame, shoot it from Ben Buckler instead.
How Booking Works
1. Dates and address
Enter your dates and delivery address at checkout. Availability and any delivery fee are
confirmed before you pay, not after.
2. Licence and identity
Verified in person at handover. You will need a full Australian or recognised overseas licence
held for the required minimum period. Provisional licences are not accepted on this tier.
Overseas licences not in English need an International Driving Permit alongside them.
3. Security bond
A refundable hold is placed on your card at pickup and released once the vehicle is returned
and inspected. The exact figure is shown before you confirm the booking.
4. Handover and inspection
We photograph the vehicle with you present, walk through the controls and drive modes, and
confirm the fuel and kilometre position. The same happens on return, which is what makes the
bond release straightforward rather than a negotiation.
5. Collection
We collect from your address at the agreed time. No depot run at either end.
If the Huracan is booked
We never move you down a tier. If your dates are taken, these are the supercar cars we will offer instead, and we will tell you plainly if none of them is free rather than substituting something lesser on the day.
McLaren 650S Coupe
- 478kW
- 3.0s
- RWD
- 2 seats
Carbon tub, dihedral doors and hydraulic steering. The sharpest chassis we own, and rear-drive, so it asks for respect in rain.
Ferrari FF
- 486kW
- 3.7s
- AWD
- 4 seats
A 6.3-litre V12 with four real seats and a usable boot. The only supercar here you can take on an actual trip.
Worried about your driveway?
Send us a photo before you book. We would far rather have that conversation at enquiry than beside a scraped splitter.
Guide rates, weekday winter pricing. Longer hires taper; the exact total for your dates is shown before you pay.
The bond held on your card equals the excess of the cover you choose. It is a pre-authorisation, released after return.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver supercars to Bondi?
Yes, constantly, along with North Bondi, Bondi Junction, Tamarama, Bronte, Dover Heights, Vaucluse, Rose Bay and Coogee. Enter your address at checkout to confirm delivery and any fee.
Will a Huracan get up my driveway?
Often yes with the nose lift raised and an angled approach, but the steep aprons common in Dover Heights and Ben Buckler are exactly what catches a splitter. Send us a photo when you enquire and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What if I have no off-street parking?
Tell us before you book. We would not recommend leaving one of these in a metered or permit space overnight in Bondi, and depending on your situation we may suggest a shorter booking or a different car. We would rather say that upfront than take the money.
Which car handles the speed humps best?
The Ferrari FF, comfortably. It sits higher than the other two and is far less fussy. For a booking of several days in the eastern suburbs it is frequently the better choice even though most people ask for the Lamborghini first.
Which is best in the wet?
The Huracan or the FF, both all-wheel drive. The McLaren is rear-wheel drive with 478kW and demands genuine respect in rain. If the forecast is poor we will say so.
Can I park at the beach?
You can, but we would not leave it unattended for long. Beach parking is busy, tight and full of opening doors. Most people take photographs and then move it somewhere calmer.
What are the requirements?
A full Australian or recognised overseas licence held for the required minimum period, plus additional age and driving-history requirements specific to supercars. Provisional licences are not accepted. We confirm all of this at enquiry, not at handover.
Can I take it on a track day?
No. Circuit and track use is not permitted on any of our vehicles under any circumstances.
Is there a kilometre limit?
Yes, and it is stated on your booking before you pay. Additional kilometres are charged at a set rate rather than estimated after the fact.
Can someone else drive it?
Only if they are listed as an additional driver on the booking and meet the same licence, age and history requirements. An unlisted driver voids cover entirely, so this is not a rule we are flexible about.
What happens if I damage it?
Your liability is capped at the excess stated on your agreement, and damage is assessed against the handover photographs taken with you present. Usage charges such as fuel and excess kilometres sit outside that cap.
Can I take it interstate?
With prior written approval, noted on the booking so the kilometre allowance and roadside cover are set correctly. We assess these requests individually.
