Porsche 718 Boxster Convertible Summer Drive Montreal
The top drops. Warm air rushes through the cabin. The St. Lawrence shimmers to your left as you glide west on Boulevard Gouin in the Porsche 718 Boxster, its 300 hp Flat 4 Turbo humming behind your shoulders, eager for every on ramp. Summer in Montreal was made for exactly this moment, and the Boxster is the most honest way to live it: no roof, no filter, no excuses.
You cross the Jacques Cartier Bridge with the skyline at your back, the 718 hugging every curve toward the South Shore. The mid engine balance makes each corner feel like choreography. Pull into Old Montreal for an espresso on Rue Saint Paul and watch the pedestrians pause their conversations. Later, the Laurentians call, and the mountain roads deliver pure open air bliss as the pines blur past in a fragrant rush. The Boxster does not shout. It whispers. And every kilometre through Montreal is a conversation between you, the road, and 300 horses of German precision.
Convertible season is short in Quebec. Here is the full guide: pricing, requirements, delivery, and the best roads around the city, so you can make the summer count.
How Much Does a Porsche 718 Boxster Rental in Montreal Cost?
The Porsche 718 Boxster rents for $299/day with a 24 hour minimum, and the rate includes delivery anywhere in Greater Montreal. It is the entry point of the convertible experience at Exotic Rentals Montreal, and honestly one of the best values in the fleet. For context, a sport sedan like the Porsche Panamera GTS asks $650/day, an open top V10 like the Audi R8 Spyder climbs to $1,299/day, and a Lamborghini Huracan EVO Spyder runs $1,499/day. The Boxster sits below all of them without giving up the chassis balance that made the brand famous.
The rate includes delivery to your address, a full tank of fuel, and insurance coordination. The security deposit varies with the model and the driver profile, and the exact amount is confirmed at booking before anything is charged. Rentals of two days and more get a better effective daily rate, so a full weekend often costs less per day than a single evening out.
Why the Boxster Is the Ideal Convertible for Quebec Roads
Because Quebec is not Florida. Our roads have potholes, our bridges have expansion joints, and our corners arrive fast. The Boxster, with its mid mounted engine and near perfect weight distribution, is precisely the car that swallows all of that with grace. The steering talks to you by the millimetre, the suspension absorbs what the city throws at it, and the car stays composed even on the tired asphalt of the Champlain Bridge.
The 300 hp Flat 4 Turbo takes the Boxster from zero to 100 km/h in about 4.7 seconds, and the PDK gearbox shifts faster than you can think about it. But the real magic is the roof. It folds away in about ten seconds, on the move, at speeds up to 50 km/h, which matters here because in Quebec the weather always changes mid route.
Where to Drive a Convertible Around Montreal
Three itineraries keep coming back from our clients:
- Route 132 along the river on the South Shore, from Longueuil eastward, flat and fast, perfect for hearing the engine sing
- The Laurentian roads north of the city, winding between the pines, one hour from downtown
- The rolling Eastern Townships, mixing orchards, vineyards, and gentle curves
How Does Delivery of the Boxster Work?
We bring the car to your door, washed, detailed, and fueled, anywhere in Greater Montreal: the Plateau, Old Montreal, Westmount, Laval, the South Shore. The contract is signed on the spot in about fifteen minutes. You need a valid Class 5 licence, an age of 25 or older for this model, and a clean driving record. Drivers under 25 can often get approved on select entry level models with a higher deposit, subject to approval.
The return works the same way in reverse: you leave the car exactly where you received it, we come collect it, we inspect it together, and that is it. The full process is detailed on our how it works page, and every edge case about deposits, mileage, and insurance is covered in the FAQ.
More Power With the Wind in Your Hair
The Boxster is the purest option, but the fleet holds other open top machines:
- The Lamborghini Huracan EVO Spyder: $1,499/day, 631 hp, a V10 that howls in the tunnels
- The Audi R8 Spyder: $1,299/day, 640 hp, the civilized German V10
- The Porsche Panamera GTS: $650/day, 473 hp, for those who want four doors and a trunk
