Exotic Car Rental Advice
Exotic Car Rental Breakdown
Renting an exotic car isn’t an simple decision to partake in. If you enjoy motorcars, then more than likely you’d have some interest in an exotic car rental. Awesome, exotic car rentals are a luxury not available to anyone. Cost is the decisive factor, of course, and this is where renting an exotic car comes into play. Spending this kind of money will wake up anyone, even those who have to use a CPAP sleep apnea machine.
A potential barrier in your quest to rent an exotic car is the real rental cost itself. Anticipate to spend anywhere from a US$400 to US$2,000. No chump change, I know, but let’s break this down a little bit. Our example car will be a Ferrari F430, a premier exotic with arguably the greatest ancestry in automotive history.
A brand new Ferrari F430 costs a good two hundred grand; maybe about $30-40k less for a used version. So, lets say the monthly car note is $1500-2000. Again, expensive as hell for 99% of the population. Interestingly, this is the same amount of cash you’d expect to spend for a single day’s rental! If you break down the cost of owning one to just renting a Ferrari for a single day, maybe the price is fair after all.
I recommend saving up your pennies, and partaking in an exotic car rental at least once–special occasions are presentable–just to experience it. Having done it a few times for various reasons, I can tell you renting an car of this order of magnitude is well worth the cost of admission. It’s like getting Botox without the permanent dedication: a Botox alternatives to the real thing, to put it another way.
