Exotic Car Rental in Marina del Rey

Exotic car rental in Marina del Rey is handed over at the Ritz-Carlton on Admiralty Way, at a high rise on the Marina Peninsula, or at the dock where the boat is waiting, and it is often the first thing that happens after landing at LAX 4 miles south. Luxury car rental in Marina del Rey belongs to the region's water side, a luxury identity built on slips and harbor views rather than hills and valets.

The Marina is the biggest man-made small craft harbor in North America, with room for around 5,000 boats in a footprint of about 1.5 square miles. It has no mythology to speak of. It has infrastructure. A harbor, waterfront towers, a resort hotel built entirely around the view, and a channel that sends out Catalina ferries, whale watching boats, private yacht charters and Coast Guard cutters from the same water.

Delivery in Marina del Rey

We deliver to the Ritz-Carlton, which runs valet and sits directly on the water, to the towers along Admiralty Way and Via Marina, to Playa del Rey and Playa Vista, and to the parking beside the slips when the plan is a charter. Delivery to the Marina costs $150 and is waived on rentals of 7 days or longer. Because LAX is a few minutes down Lincoln Boulevard, a lot of Marina bookings start at the hotel rather than the terminal, which skips the airport curb entirely. The loop around the harbor is the road here, Admiralty Way to Via Marina and back along Fiji Way, slowly, with the masts as the view.

Where to Take It

A charter out of the harbor, with the car parked at the dock for the return. Dinner at Cast and Plow at the Ritz-Carlton with the marina lit up below. Fisherman's Village for the casual version. From the Marina the coast runs both ways, north through Venice and Santa Monica onto PCH, or south along the beach with the planes coming in low over the water. The path along Ballona Creek runs beside the channel if the morning starts on foot.

Which Cars Suit Marina del Rey

The Marina is a resort, so the cars that fit are the ones that look right parked beside a boat. A Range Rover or a Bentley Bentayga for the yacht charter weekend. A Rolls Royce Ghost for the Ritz-Carlton stay where the valet does the work. A Ferrari or a Porsche 911 convertible for the run up the coast. A Cadillac Escalade for the group that landed together and is heading for the dock together. Chauffeur service is available on request, and here it is usually booked on the Rolls Royce, the Cadillac Escalade or the Range Rover for the ride from the terminal.
