Ferrari 488 GTB: an entrance everyone will see
Ferrari is the best-known sports car brand in the world and comes from Maranello in northern Italy. The 488 was built in the second half of the 2010s as the successor to the 458. It is a mid-engine supercar: a turbocharged V8 sits behind the seats, the car is low and wide, and it has large air intakes in its flanks. GTB stands for the coupé, with a fixed roof.
As a wedding car, a Ferrari does one thing very well: it draws attention. Guests watch the car arrive, hear it leave, and want a photo with it after the ceremony. It is a choice for couples who love fast cars and want to give their wedding a modern, distinctive look.
Coupé or Spider
The 488 was also available as a Spider with a folding roof. The GTB is a coupé, which has advantages on a wedding day: your hair stays neat, rain is not a problem and the car is quieter on the road. If you would like to drive with the top down, take a look at one of the open-top Ferraris.
Getting in, space and what you can take with you
A 488 has two seats and sits very low. Getting in wearing a wedding dress calls for a set order: the bride sits down with her back to the seat, then her legs and the fabric go in. A slim or softly flowing dress fits most easily. With a full skirt or a train, help from a member of the wedding party is essential, and some of the fabric will rest on your lap.
Little luggage space
There is a small boot at the front under the nose, and hardly any room behind the seats. A small bag for your phone and lipstick will fit, but spare clothes, shoes and gifts are better transported in another car.
Low nose
The nose of a 488 hangs close above the road. Speed bumps, steep driveways and gravel paths call for care. Ask the venue what the approach looks like and whether there is a level spot to park the car.
Driving and planning with a 488
A Ferrari is built for speed, but on a wedding day what matters most is a calm, beautiful drive. In a convoy or in a town centre, a supercar demands patience. Plan a route with a stretch of country road or a dyke, where the car can show what it can do for a moment, and finish with a calm arrival at the venue. Ask the rental company about the conditions for whoever is driving, such as minimum age, driving experience, deposit and the number of kilometres included.
Red is the colour everyone thinks of, but Ferraris come in many colours. Choose decorations that do not interrupt the car's lines: a small flower arrangement or a narrow ribbon is enough. Modern paintwork is delicate, so always check with the rental company first. Other models from the brand, such as the open-top Ferrari California, can be found on the page Ferrari wedding car hire. You can find more fast cars among the sporty wedding cars.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire a Ferrari 488 as a wedding car?
The lowest price currently online is € 1.849 per day. The final price depends on the duration, the distance, whether a chauffeur is included and the date; demand is highest in the wedding season and on Saturdays. Every car shows its starting price, and when you request a quote you get a price for your own day.
Can you hire a Ferrari 488 as a wedding car with a chauffeur?
The 2 wedding cars currently online are self-drive. With a chauffeur you do not have to think about parking, the route or the time, and the couple sit together in the back. Self-drive gives you freedom, but do ask about the deposit, the insurance and the minimum age. Every car page shows what is possible.
Will a wedding dress fit in a Ferrari 488?
A slim-fitting or softly flowing dress fits well, but it is a low two-seater with little space. With a full skirt, the bride sits down first and a witness then arranges the fabric in the car, with some of it resting on her lap. A long train is tricky. Ask the rental company whether you can try it out beforehand, so you know what to expect on the day.
Can we use a Ferrari 488 in a convoy with other cars?
You can, but bear in mind that a supercar is less comfortable in slow traffic and with a lot of stopping, and it can overheat quickly. Let the Ferrari lead the way at a steady pace, and agree a route in advance that avoids narrow streets and high speed bumps. A convoy of just a few cars works better than a long line.
What do we do if it rains on the day we hire the 488?
The 488 GTB is a coupé with a fixed roof, so you will stay dry and your hair will stay in place. It is, however, a powerful rear-wheel-drive car, which calls for gentle driving on a wet road. Plan a covered spot for getting out of the car, and bring a large umbrella for the photos outside.
Which wedding venues suit a Ferrari?
A Ferrari suits modern, luxurious venues, such as a sleek hotel, a beach club or a villa, but it also works at a castle or country estate as a contrast. Pay particular attention to access: gravel, cobblestones and steep kerbs are tricky for the low nose. Ask the venue whether there is a level spot near the entrance where the car can be parked.
