Luxury car rental guide: how to get the best deals

There are exotic car rental firms and there are ad-hoc suppliers. In such an environment, how can you get the best deal for your luxury car rental? You are not an expert in this industry to have an analysis of the deal.

That is why this article was delivered – from the experienced to the novice.

Find the best dealer in the town

There are many websites, offering exotic car rental services. Don’t take a single route – go through the websites, ask your trip organizer or your friend who has prior experience. You are going to rental an asset worth of $10,000 or more to a mere fraction of the price – beginning from $100 for a day.

Find the most reliable service near your location or the rentalr who has doorstep delivery and collection services. It is not the few pennies in the quoted price you are going to save. See how they are going to charge you for excesses, their insurance terms, damage claims or substitution in an event of a breakdown. If those costs more dollars than what you saved from the quoted price, that will not be the best deal.

Many terms like “supply with a full tank, bring it empty” adds cost, and their choice will not be the best for you.

Ask for available special offers; discount schemes or added services offered free.

Speak directly – cut out intermediaries

You might prefer to ask your travel agent or the hotel to arrange your exotic car. Why not directly talk to them. Intermediaries mean another cost. Do you know, even the rental companies prefer direct talk.

If available, use your airline or hotel loyalty scheme for discounts and special deals.

Check your holiday package

Is there a guaranteed low price exotic car service in collaboration with your organization, hotel or in your holiday package? Use it. If there is a charge for the service, compare it with an outside exotic car rental rate. Don’t get into the trap of pushed purchases. Know where you are and what is available around. Be ready for the journey.

That will lead you to the best deal.

Discuss your requirement

Visit the rental location or contact them. Explain the event and ask for your choice.  Discuss the pros and cons of the exotic car. Is it too loud or beyond your budget? Ask for any adjustments in the offer.

Extra facilities cost extra. Understand their basic offer and choose only the absolute necessities for your trip (Ex: bring your own baby seats, map instead of GPS).  Check whether all country requirements, are included in the agreement.

The lesser you have to pay for extras – the better will be the deal.

Have a ride beforehand – check the condition and comfort

If you could arrange a test drive before signing the rental – that will make the best deal. Some exotic cars may seem the best choice for you; the moment you sit behind the wheel, you feel it. Is the cabin comfortable, do you like the boom it makes, or do you feel it is too small for your frame? Select the best controllable exotic car.

The drive should worth your money. Then you will get the best deal.
