Hello,

I am getting married this May, and as an alternative to the traditional limo rental for my wedding, I was looking into the idea of renting an exotic to go from the church to the reception in. With this in mind, I began searching for exotic car rental companies in Maryland, and was unable to find anything I was looking for. There were a few companies in D.C. that had luxury sedans, but I am looking for something along the lines of a 997TT, 997GT3/RS, F430 or 360, Gallardo. The closest I could find those cars was in New Jersey, and betweeen the mileage and the two days of rental I would need due to the distance, it ended up being around $6k. I am looking for an only 3 hr rental (if that is even possible), or maybe just an afternoon rental, and looking to spend under $1,500.00 for that.

Am I being unreasonable for thinking I might be able to get that, and does anyone know of any exotic rental companies in Maryland?

 

May it be worth posting on a exotic forum for use of a private vehicle from a private owner? Someone may jump on the opportunity to make your special day that much more so.

 

A real coincidence. I just noticed this company today, and just now saw your thread. I have no affiliation blah blah etc....

Hm, thats actually a great idea!

If anyone on here with the type of car I am looking for would be interested in doing such a thing, or knows someone who would be interested, I would love it. (I figured I would start on here and try the specific exotic forums if I dont get any bites).

I would need to drive the car a total of 3.9 miles, it is a 10 minute drive from the Church to the Reception hall, and figured $500 for this would be sufficient? Of course the owner could bring the car to the church, follow me to the reception hall in a separate car (heck, even my CTS-V if they'd like), and then can leave with the car from there. I feel $500 would be more than sufficient for such little time? here is the driving map:

I'd be happy to provide proof of insurance, a copy of my DL, a copy of my driving record and plenty of references to clear any concerns the owner would have of me driving their vehicle. I have plenty of experience with high hp and high performance cars; I worked for Leith Porsche in Cary during high school and had the opportunity to drive and detail several 911 turbos and a few GT3s, I owned a 608rwhp Kenne Bell Cobra with plenty of seat time behind that thing at the track, and just got back from running Sebring International Raceway with my CTS-V. There are probably a few people on this forum that can vouch for me too; I know Val (vntperformance) and have detailed a car or two for him, and ScottSSinMD probably knows me through the Mid Atlantic Cobra Association who I did a bunch of detailing for (my username on svtperformance is "getblown2k3".) www.protouch-detailing.com.

I told my fiancee that this is the only part of the wedding that I want to plan and have control of, haha, so if anyone would be interested in this opportunity please let me know!

 

wow, great timing!!!

I just emailed them. that F430 is extremely reasonable for $799 a day and is just what I am looking for. not only that, but free drop off and pick up in the D.C. area.

 

I agree. Their prices seem very reasonable. I rented a Viper before I bought one and I think this would be great to check out the Ferrari and Lambo. Heck, a Cayman is only $200....and, if you're looking at those cars, it would be a great way to get familiar with it. Thanks for the link Tom.

 

Um, does that Mach 5 place really have a Scuderia for rent?? Now that would be worth it!


Congrats on the wedding man. I can vouch for you too if need be, except not many people here know me lol.

 

Congrats Scott. Are you planning on moving back to the DMV, I have some cars that would use a detail. = )

 

Funny you say that, Dale. Someone came in here a while back with the exact same request, more on the 'can I borrow your car even though you don't know me' part, and I believe it ended up being a spammer. Glad I bit my tongue and let it play out. This is a great connection. I would love to test ride a F-car and would be willing to split it with someone for a day of there is any interest out there.

 

I'm going to check the site out...I might be your man date Scott! LOL!!!

I'm serious about a rental. Mike, you name the weekend and let's giterdun. Should set up a cruise with a small group and take vids, etc. I say around the beginning of May.

 

Hey guys,

I know I'm about 11 months late to the discussion, but I too am looking for a similar rental in Maryland.

Basically, it's for a bachelor party: drive the cars in the morning, play golf in the afternoon, get drunk with the bachelorette party at night.

We're all business professionals in our mid-30s, and it would probably be about 7-8 guys...with about 4-5 cars.

I just wanted to know how your experience went with Mach5? Or if you can point me in any different directions.

Thanks guys,
Scott

You can always pay one of the exotic owners on here to rent their cars if they are willing...

 

Ok, thanks.

I'll start a new post/thread on here, and see if I get any replies or suggestions.

Thanks again!!
Scott

 

I want to hire a limo rental for my vacations. I heard a lot about limousines but now i want to experience it. The service, luxury and convenience you receive with limo rental is unmatched by any other means of ground transportation..
