Dallas Exotic Car Rental Company Offers Tips

DFW Elite Auto Rental Shares
Best Questions To Ask
Before Signing An Exotic Car
Rental Agreement
October 11,
2007 - DFW, TX
– As the
luxury auto rental
business grows, consumers have more options than ever before. In fact, climbing
behind the wheel of a dream car is easier today than it has ever been.
“You have to
do your homework before
renting an exotic car,”
says Tom Warren, General Manager for
DFW Elite Auto Rental.com.
“There are a lot of new luxury car rental agencies out there, but you definitely
want to know what you’re getting beforehand.”
“Hands down,
the best question to ask is whether the rental company owns all its cars,”
Warren says. “A lot of places broker cars that belong to someone else. So the
car a consumer reserves may or may not be available at the time the renter wants
it. Plus, brokers who don’t own the exotic cars they provide tend to charge
higher prices.”
“And it’s not
just the sting of higher prices, owning the cars translates into a better exotic
rental experience,” insists Warren. “A broker may not have an expert available
to show their clients how to operate every vehicle they broker. As the owners of
every one of our
exotic rental cars,
we have the people in all of our locations to make certain every customer knows
enough to drive with confidence.”
Cheryl Lyman,
publisher of the most comprehensive online directory of U.S.
exotic car rental
agencies,
RentExoticCars.net,
says the average number of vehicles owned by an exotic car rental agency is only
five or six. “Regardless of the size of the exotic rental agency’s fleet,” says
Lyman,” it’s prudent to ask before renting an exotic car, what the policies are
in the event of a mechanical failure. Are you entitled to a refund, credit for
future exotic car rental, or an upgrade?”
Beyond making
sure that the rental agency owns its cars, Lyman offers the following tips for
those wanting to enjoy the
exotic car rental experience:
-
Check out the
age of the cars in the fleet. Older exotic cars may present problems for renters
– and nobody wants to spend money to sit by the side of the road!
-
Find out what
professional affiliations the rental agency has. For example,
DFW Elite Auto Rental
is a member of the
Better Business Bureau,
DFW Business Travel
Association,
Texas Travel Industry
Association;
and owner
Ron Sturgeon
has had his used car dealer’s license at the same location for over 30 years.
Invest a little time to make sure you are dealing with a reputable exotic car
rental agency before you rent.
-
Are you able
to reach someone at the rental agency or do you leave a message or talk to the
operator. A legitimate exotic car rental agency will have staff that can respond
to your calls in a timely manner. It’s smart to verify that the agency has a
showroom
and an office.
-
Does the
company have satisfied customers? Ask for references. Also, make sure the exotic
car rental agency uses a customer satisfaction form, so you know they care what
clients think of their service.
Warren notes
that insurance is one of the biggest concerns for customers – and it’s also one
of the best reasons to rent from a reputable
luxury car rental agency.
The agency will have the proper commercial insurance for a rental fleet and will
help the renter ensure that his or her insurance coverage is adequate.
“In most
cases, our customer’s current insurance is adequate for their
Dallas exotic car rental,”
he says. “Occasionally, we have a customer raise his property damage coverage,
but such coverage is inexpensive and is something you need whether or not you
rent an exotic car in Dallas.”
“Getting a car
from a regular car rental company is a lot like eating vanilla ice cream. It’s
okay, but it doesn’t satisfy your sweet tooth,” Warren says. “The beautiful
thing about
exotic car rental
is we rent every flavor in the rainbow, and every flavor creates a different
feeling. There’s something for whatever you’re craving.”
Why not treat yourself to a
1955 Strawberry Mercedes
300SC,
a cherry
’65 Corvette Convertible,
or a delicious
Lamborghini Gallardo?
You deserve it.
