I had rented cars on many occasions for family holidays from the early 1980s. These were normally arranged via a recommendation of the self catering villa company or through a local contact and I would normally hire a small car like a Fiat /Seat Panda or Ford Fiesta. I experienced hiring a car in Corsica, Majorca, Portugal, Spain, Turkey and the USA. In fact anywhere that was easier to fly to.

It was a different story back in October 2000 I rented a very reasonably priced Mercedes A class car in Nice France. To cut down on costs the rental company operated from a section of a multi storey car park a short distance from the airport and there was a check in zone, with a couple of computers where you could also make on line reservations if you had not booked in advance.

If the choice of luxury car to tour around with friends and family were a Miami Limo, then that would be a perfect decision because the number of companies offering this service is huge. There is definitely no chance of lacking a perfect ride although it is important to focus on some factors that may reduce the risk of, say, overspending. It also goes without saying that countless people dream of riding in this type of classy car someday but they need to give it some serious thought.

Globally known media magnets such as Madonna, Denzel Washington and others are some of the usual clients who rent exotic cars from exotic rental car companies in the USA. The question arises well why can’t you do the same? Celebrate and rent a top of the line car for a day, weekend or even a week. Wouldn’t that be a special birthday or anniversary gift for someone. If your accounts agree with you then you maybe able to lease it, or even own it on a fractional ownership basis.

In the real world if you approach a dealership about renting it they would dismiss you pretty quickly and tend to some real business instead of a fantasy walk-in customer. You cannot get an exotic car as a rental from a dealership primarily because of liability and insurance complications. Although, similar to renting a standard car like a VW Bug or Nissan, Mustang or SUV, you can rent a super exotic car directly from a car rental agency that specializes in these type of vehicles. Now you are one step closer to a 200 mph car. Although, we do not advocate going maximum speed in these cars. (more…)
