Can You Rent an Exotic Car for a Month?

Yes, you can rent an exotic car for a month. Any rental of 28 days or more takes 50% off the car's daily rate. The discount is automatic, and it comes from the length of the rental, not from asking. Delivery is charged on top and quoted by your address.

The first day looks like any other rental. A white Lamborghini Urus is parked outside your building in Irvine at the time you picked. We take the handoff photos, you sign, and the key is yours. The difference shows up on day nine. The Urus is still in your parking spot, and the people in your building have stopped asking whose it is.

What you need to rent an exotic car for a month

The list for a month is the same as the list for a single day. You need to be 18 or older with a valid driver's license. You also need full coverage insurance in your own name. A larger deposit may apply if you're under 25.

Your policy has to cover a rental car that isn't on your policy. That coverage is called non-owner vehicle coverage. It means your policy extends to a car that isn't listed on your declarations page. Before the car moves, we call your carrier and speak with an agent on a recorded line. We confirm the policy is active, reaches a rental car, and has no exotic or high-value exclusion that would rule out a Urus.

A month makes that call matter more, because the car spends 30 nights with you instead of one. Credit card rental coverage almost never helps, because most card benefits exclude cars worth more than $50k to $75k.

Once the insurance call clears, the Urus is yours for the whole month. In Strada mode the air suspension lifts the body and the exhaust valves close. The Urus moves through morning traffic on the freeway to John Wayne Airport without a jolt. Its 641 horsepower stays quiet until you press the pedal hard.

What a month costs on three of these cars

The daily rate for each car comes from its own listing. From day 28 on, every day costs half that rate. Here is what 30 days costs on three cars, before delivery.

• Rolls Royce Ghost, white over white, $995 a day. 30 days is $14,925.
• Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon AMG G63, white over black, $595 a day. 30 days is $8,925.
• Porsche 911 Carrera, blue over black, $395 a day. 30 days is $5,925.

A month in the 911 works out to $197.50 a day. That is half the price of a single day in the same car.

The part nobody tells you is that a shorter trip can cost more. Rentals of 21 to 27 days take 40% off, not 50%. On the Ghost, 26 days costs $15,522. A full 28 days costs $13,930. So check both totals before you book a trip that runs close to a month.

The Ghost is the car that changes most over a month. In the first week, you notice that the rear coach doors close themselves from a button on the pillar. By the third week, you steer it out of a parking garage in Pasadena with two fingers. The V12 is so quiet that you only notice the speed on the gauge.

Planning 3,000 miles across 30 days

Each of these four cars includes 100 miles a day, and a long rental pools those miles into one total. Thirty days gives you 3,000 miles for the month, and only the total at the end counts.

That total covers more than most people expect. Say you drive 40 miles on each workday. Twenty-two workdays use 880 miles. That still leaves more than 2,000 miles for weekends.

Past the total, each extra mile is billed at the car's own rate.

• Lamborghini Urus, $3 a mile.
• Rolls Royce Ghost, $4 a mile.
• Porsche 911 Carrera, $4 a mile.
• Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon AMG G63, $5 a mile.

If you already know the month will run long, say so at booking. We price the extra miles in ahead of time instead of billing them after.

A weekend in La Jolla is the kind of trip that pool is for. The G63 rides upright and a little firm on broken pavement. Once it settles onto the freeway, it goes quiet. You only hear the side pipes under full throttle. At dinner you hand the key to the valet, and the boxy white shape is easy to spot when it comes back.

Where the car sleeps for 30 nights

Overnight, the car goes to a valet or a hotel garage, never the street. The keys stay with you the whole month. A 30 night rental means 30 choices about where the car parks, so plan it before the car arrives.

The handoff photos are the record of the car's condition on the day it was delivered. If something happens on day 17, tell us right away. Your insurance covers damage, subject to your deductible. The deposit covers small things like a curbed wheel.

The deposit is a hold on your card, not a charge. On these four cars it runs from $1,000 to $2,000. The hold is released after the car comes back in the condition it left.

The 911 Carrera is the easiest of the four to park every night. This one is a previous-generation 911 with a narrower body. A tight space in a Santa Monica hotel garage is simpler in the 911 than in the G63. The flat six sits behind the rear axle, and you hear it behind you every time you start the car.

Adding a second driver for the month

A month often means someone else drives too. Anyone who drives must be on the contract as an additional driver before the rental starts. Each driver passes the same license and insurance check as you. We call each driver's insurance company, not only yours.

Add every driver at booking, not in week three. A partner who takes the Ghost to work twice a week is a driver. That partner needs to be on the contract before the first trip. If there is drinking, there is a chauffeur or a sober driver for the ride home.

The Ghost suits a shared month well. It seats five, and its light steering takes no time to learn. A second driver can take it to a client lunch on the first day without a lesson.

Leaving the state on a long term exotic car rental

In-state trips are fine at any point in the month. A trip out of state needs advance notice, so the miles and paperwork are sorted before you leave. Las Vegas is the usual request. The rule for any trip across the state line is to ask first.

Track use, racing, and off-road driving are not permitted on any car. That holds on the G63 too, even though it still carries its locking differentials.

A month that starts with a flight can start at the airport. We deliver to the arrivals level at airports across Southern California. A white Urus can be waiting at Palm Springs Airport when you land for a month in the desert. You load the bags through the tailgate and drive out with five seats and 3,000 miles ahead of you.

Which car fits a monthly exotic car rental

Choose the car for a Tuesday, not a Saturday night. Most of the month is errands, meetings, and freeway miles.

The Urus is the strongest all-rounder of the four. It seats five, carries real luggage, and runs quiet in traffic. It still reaches 60 mph in 3.6 seconds when the road opens up. This white Urus rents for $995 a day.

The Ghost is the month of client dinners and airport runs. Its 6.6 liter V12 makes 563 horsepower, and you barely hear it. The G63 seats five as well and costs $400 a day less than the Ghost. It has 577 horsepower and reaches 60 mph in 4.4 seconds.

The 911 Carrera is the cheapest month here, and it's the one you rent for the drive. It seats four, but the rear seats are small. Its flat six makes 370 horsepower. Take it up Ortega Highway early on a Sunday and the rear engine makes the car turn around a point behind your hips.

A month in an exotic car is mostly paperwork up front and habits after. Clear the insurance call, add every driver, and decide where the car sleeps. After that, the calendar and the miles set the price, and you know both before you take the key.
