Exotic Car Rental in Dana Point

Exotic car rental in Dana Point starts on a bluff. Prometheus Exotics delivers to the 2 resorts above the water, the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel and the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach, and to the harbor and the neighborhoods behind it, in a town that built its name on the ocean rather than on being seen beside it. Luxury car rental in Dana Point sits next to a whale watching boat and a surfboard, which is the honest version of coastal wealth down here.

Exotic Car Rental Delivered in Dana Point

The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel is, despite the name, in Dana Point, on the bluff above Salt Creek Beach, and its porte-cochere is where most of our cars in this town are handed over. The Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach sits a short drive inland behind its golf course. We also deliver to homes in Monarch Beach and Capistrano Beach, to the hotels around Dana Point Harbor and to the Lantern District above it. Delivery in Dana Point is a flat $50 and it is waived on rentals of 7 days or more. Both resorts run busy valet operations on wedding weekends, so we confirm the drop with them in advance and the car is waiting when you come down.

Where to Take It

The harbor is the reason the town exists. Dana Point trademarked itself the dolphin and whale watching capital of the world and the harbor is one of a handful of places on earth designated a Whale Heritage Site, so the morning belongs to a boat out of Dana Wharf, where the tours have been running for 50 years. Larger whales pass from May through September and gray whales with calves come through in winter. Back on land, PCH north climbs past Salt Creek toward Laguna and south drops through Capistrano Beach toward San Clemente, and both directions are open coast with the ocean on one side. The Lantern District above the harbor is dinner, a revitalized grid of restaurants, galleries and shops. The Wharf at the harbor is the casual version. Park by the water at the end and watch the boats come in.

Which Cars Suit Dana Point

Dana Point suits cars that can do a bluff-top valet and a harbor parking lot in the same afternoon. A Range Rover or a Land Rover Defender is the local answer, right at the Ritz-Carlton and right at the boat ramp. A Rolls Royce is the wedding car for the resorts, and chauffeur service is available on request with it. A Porsche is the drive up the coast to Laguna and back before dinner. A Ferrari fits a resort weekend where the coast road is half the reason for coming. Expect $295 to about $4,000 a day depending on the car, with multi-day and weekly rates dropping the daily price.
