Exotic car rental biz

[Ski_Banker]

Anyone looked into starting one of these in a touristy area before? I know there are IRS "personal use" considerations and insurance for a business would be more than for a personal car. Or perhaps start an exotic car network like Netjets! Oh man, the juices are starting to flow...gonna be up all night thinking about this now.

These guys (husband and wife) just opened one here in SD about 8 months ago.
Call them with questions.

I would have trouble knowing that my cars were being taken out and flogged on....I guess I am too attached to them. :smile:

LOL but you have no problems flogging your own cars, too funny.

I could do it, it's just a car, but I'd get a heck of a large deposit first.

I drive them....but in all reality they do not get flogged that often...plus, renters do stuff like clutch drops and speed shifts which I do not do on my babies. I love them too much. :smile:

Went we were in Las Vegas a couple years ago we were given a flyer for a company that rented out exotic cars...holy crap! I brought the flyer home but now I cant find it...They wanted a S^&* load of $$$$$$$ to rent those cars! I dont know though...If I had that kind of money to drop on renting a car like that for a couple days, Id probably already own one or two......

Hey SKI- you keep coming up with these good ideas...and when I move down there, you can hire me so I can get rich with you!!

Yeah they're not cheap.

Hmm, might be able to put you on the payroll. Your title could be "Vice President of NSX Development."

Went we were in Las Vegas a couple years ago we were given a flyer for a company that rented out exotic cars...holy crap! I brought the flyer home but now I cant find it...They wanted a S^&* load of $$$$$$$ to rent those cars!

What does this car look like anyway? I tried to do a google search and turned up with no results. Good luck with the business if you decide to go through with it.
