Imagine two plans for Saturday. One involves taking the family out of town, packing for the whole day and deciding where to stop along the way. The other is a date, an open convertible roof and no particular reason to hurry. You could rent the same car for both. But the two days would feel quite different.
That is why choosing a premium rental car starts with the journey. Who is coming with you? How much luggage will you have? Do you want to spend time driving, or settle into the rear seat and let someone else take care of the road? The car should fit your day, rather than dictate every part of it.
This guide looks at seven models from the AVVA CARS fleet, from the versatile BMW X5 to the Lamborghini Urus. Each has a different role. Here is how to choose for business meetings, a family weekend, a date or a day spent enjoying the drive.
A quick guide to choosing your rental car
| Your plans | A model to consider | What to check first |
|---|---|---|
| A distinctive arrival at a celebration | Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG | Vehicle size and parking access |
| A family weekend with luggage | BMW X5 Black Edition | This particular version has five seats |
| A day driving a sports coupe | BMW M4 Competition | Two doors and access to the rear seats |
| A special event or photo shoot | Lamborghini Urus | Whether you want such a noticeable car |
| Business meetings and chauffeur travel | Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223 Long | Collection arrangements and passenger numbers |
| A date and a fair-weather drive | BMW 430i xDrive Cabrio | The weather and luggage with the roof open |
| Trying a premium electric car | Porsche Taycan | Charge level and charging options along the route |
This is not a ranking from best to worst. An S-Class and an M4 serve very different purposes; placing one above the other would tell you little about which one suits your trip.
1. Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG — when arriving is part of the occasion
The G63 has a rare quality: people recognise it before they have time to look at the badge. Its upright body, high seating position and distinctive silhouette create a very different mood from a low coupe or a restrained saloon. It is a car to consider when you want the day to feel special from the moment you get in.
The Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG suits a birthday celebration, a formal occasion, an evening at a restaurant or a photo shoot. The vehicle in the AVVA CARS fleet has a 4.0-litre engine, all-wheel drive and five seats. Yet the deciding factor is often the character of the car, rather than a number on the specification sheet.
Check access to your destination and parking arrangements when planning the day. That substantial body looks good in photographs but requires attention in a tight courtyard or car park. If you expect to spend hours working and talking in the rear seat, consider the S-Class Long instead: it offers a different approach to premium travel.
2. BMW X5 Black Edition — for a well-planned family weekend
You pack in the morning, spend the afternoon out of town and stop for dinner before heading home. For a day like this, a car should make life easier: no climbing past a front seat to get into the back, and no unnecessary compromises over what to bring.
The BMW X5 Black Edition is a sensible candidate for a family outing or a weekend with a small group. Five seats, separate rear doors and an SUV body make it a more versatile choice than a sports coupe. All-wheel drive suits everyday road conditions, while the raised seating position will appeal to drivers who feel at home in an SUV.
One detail matters: this is the five-seat Black Edition. If children are travelling, discuss the appropriate child seat in advance and check how your luggage will fit. For ideas on where to go, browse the AVVA CARS blog, where you will find suggestions for exploring Minsk and its surroundings.
3. BMW M4 Competition — when the drive is the reason for going
Some days need no elaborate occasion. Perhaps you have wanted to try a sports coupe for years and see how it differs from your usual car. That is where the M4 makes particular sense. The low seating position and two-door body change the feel of the journey before the engine even starts.
The BMW M4 Competition in our fleet is listed with 510 hp, a 3.0-litre engine, all-wheel drive and four seats. It is a choice for someone who wants to spend time driving: exploring the seating position, controls and responses, and finding out whether this kind of car would suit everyday life.
An M4 fits a trip for two or an extended test drive before buying. If rear passengers will be getting in and out frequently, the coupe demands more compromise than an X5. Poorly surfaced roads are unlikely to show it at its best either. For a first experience, choose a route with good road surfaces and enough time to enjoy the journey.
4. Lamborghini Urus — a striking car with room for five
You want a Lamborghini, but more than two people are travelling. You need rear doors, space for a group and a car that can fit a full day's plans. That is the scenario in which the Urus starts to make sense.
The Lamborghini Urus combines the brand's expressive design with a five-seat SUV layout. The particular car is listed with a 4.0-litre engine, 650 hp and all-wheel drive. Consider it for a celebration, wedding, photo shoot or special meeting where the car becomes part of the experience.
If you are choosing between the Urus and G63, think about the image you have in mind. The G63 is tall and angular, with an unmistakable traditional silhouette. The Urus is lower, more flowing and visually more sporting. For photo and video production, that difference may matter more than engine output. If attracting attention is not part of your plans, the quieter visual presence of an X5 may be a better fit.
5. Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223 Long — for business meetings and chauffeur travel
On a business trip, the car is rarely the main event. Arriving on time, discussing a meeting on the way and travelling between appointments without unnecessary fatigue matter more. Here, an executive saloon can be a more precise choice than a conspicuous sports car.
Consider the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223 Long for meeting partners, travelling to a hotel, a formal arrival or a day with several business stops. The extended body makes the rear seating area one of its central attractions. The S-Class is particularly logical with a chauffeur service: you are choosing a space to travel in, rather than simply a position behind the wheel.
Before booking, confirm passenger numbers, luggage and your schedule. If you also need family versatility and a raised seating position, the X5 may be more practical. If the brief is a discreet executive journey, start with the S-Class.
6. BMW 430i xDrive Cabrio — for a date without a rushed itinerary
A good date does not need a complicated programme. Sometimes a pleasant road, time for coffee and the freedom to linger are enough. A convertible fits that mood particularly well.
The BMW 430i xDrive Cabrio suits a trip for two, a fair-weather outing or a small celebration. With the roof open, a familiar route feels different: the surroundings become more immediate, and the drive becomes part of the evening. The car is listed with four seats, although a trip for two is an especially natural way to enjoy it.
Start with the weather forecast and your luggage plans. Check how much you can carry with the roof folded, and avoid making the entire day depend on driving with the top down. For a longer journey with several passengers, an X5 or S-Class will be easier to live with. For a romantic date or proposal, a convertible can provide precisely the detail that makes renting an unusual car worthwhile.
7. Porsche Taycan — to experience a different kind of drive
A premium electric car is worth trying if you want to form your own view of it. Reading about one is different from spending a day doing ordinary things: driving across town, parking at a cafe, meeting someone and returning home.
The Porsche Taycan suits that introduction, as well as a business trip where you want a contemporary car without choosing an SUV. Its electric powertrain removes the familiar sound of an idling engine, while the low seating position and Porsche silhouette retain a sporting feel. This particular vehicle is listed with all-wheel drive and four seats.
The main question before renting is how charging fits into your day. Confirm the charge level at collection, the return requirements and suitable charging points along your route. For city driving and planned stops, this is a manageable part of the itinerary. If you want to make a spontaneous long-distance trip without considering charging infrastructure at all, begin with one of the petrol models in this guide.
How to choose a premium rental car you will enjoy
Think through the whole trip, not just the moment you collect the keys. Who will be sitting in the back? Are there suitcases to carry? Will you be driving all day, or spending most of the journey as a passenger? These answers quickly narrow the shortlist.
Next, look at photographs and terms for the actual vehicle. A model can come in different versions, with different seating arrangements and equipment. In this guide, for example, the X5 Black Edition has five seats, while the M4, 430i Cabrio and Taycan have four. A brand name alone does not explain those details.
Finally, compare the full quote for your dates. Rental duration, deposit, included mileage and any additional requests all matter. AVVA CARS has a discount system based on the rental start date and duration. Discounts cannot be combined; the highest available one applies. Do not automatically subtract another percentage from an advertised tariff: confirm the final calculation before booking.
Frequently asked questions about choosing a rental car
Which premium car should I rent in Minsk for the first time?
If you need one car for several purposes, start with the BMW X5 Black Edition for city driving and a family trip. Consider the M4 for the driving experience and the S-Class Long for passenger comfort. Let your plans guide the choice, rather than the most recognisable badge.
Should I choose a G63, Urus or S-Class for a business meeting?
Choose the S-Class Long for discreet executive travel and rear-seat comfort. A G63 or Urus offers a more expressive appearance. If you want a chauffeur, agree that service separately when booking.
Which car suits a date?
In good weather, the BMW 430i xDrive Cabrio is a natural choice if you want the drive to become part of the evening. The Porsche Taycan suits someone interested in a premium electric car, while the M4 is a good candidate for a couple who share an interest in sports coupes.
Can I rent a sports car for a family trip?
Yes, if the seating, luggage space and access suit everyone travelling. But four seats in an M4 do not provide the same convenience as five seats and separate rear doors in an X5. Arrange a suitable child seat in advance if needed.
How can I get a rental discount?
Choose your car and dates, then request a final quote. Savings under the AVVA CARS system can reach 40%, with the single highest available discount applied. Terms and calculation examples are available on the discount page.
Choose a car for the day you have planned
The best premium rental car is the one that fits your plans. An X5 can make a family weekend easier, an M4 can give you a reason to choose an interesting road, an S-Class lets you concentrate on your meetings, and a convertible can make an ordinary evening feel different.
