Beverly Hills Rent-a-Car rents luxury and exotic vehicles by the day, week, or month through locations in Los Angeles and Las Vegas
Beverly Hills Rent-a-Car is a rental company that specializes in high-end vehicles — the kind you see in movies and on Instagram. They operate physical locations in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, and they rent cars like Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Rolls-Royces, and Range Rovers to people who want to drive them for a short time rather than buy them. You pick up the car at their location, drive it, and return it on your scheduled date. The rental period can be as short as one day or as long as several months.
The company does not operate like a standard economy rental agency. There is no massive fleet of identical sedans. Instead, each car is a specific vehicle with its own mileage, condition, and price. You are renting a particular Ferrari, not "a Ferrari." This means availability changes constantly, prices vary widely depending on which car you want and when you want it, and the booking process is more like reserving a specific item than filling out a generic form.
Key Takeaways
- Beverly Hills Rent-a-Car requires a valid driver's license, a credit card in your name, and proof of insurance before you can rent any vehicle.
- Rental rates depend on the specific car, the time of year, and how long you rent it — a one-day Ferrari rental costs far more than a one-week rental per day.
- You must return the car with a full fuel tank and in the same condition you received it, or you will be charged for fuel, cleaning, and damage repairs.
- The company has physical locations you must visit to pick up and return the car — there is no delivery or drop-off at your home or hotel.
- A security deposit, usually charged to your credit card, is held during the rental and released after the car is returned and inspected.
What You Need to Rent a Car
To rent from Beverly Hills Rent-a-Car, you must bring a valid driver's license, a credit card in your own name, and proof of insurance. The driver's license must be current and not suspended or revoked. The credit card is used to process the security deposit and to charge the rental fee — the card must have enough available credit to cover both. Proof of insurance can be a photo of your insurance card or a digital copy from your insurance company's app.
If you are under 25, some vehicles may not be available to you, or the rental company may charge an additional young driver fee. This varies by car — exotic supercars often have higher age restrictions than luxury SUVs. Call the location directly to ask about the specific vehicle you want to rent.
You must be the person whose name is on the credit card and driver's license. You cannot rent a car using someone else's credit card or license, even if they are sitting next to you. If someone else will be driving the car, they must have their own valid license and may need to be added to the rental agreement, which could involve additional fees.
How Pricing Works and What It Includes
Beverly Hills Rent-a-Car does not publish fixed prices online. Instead, you contact the location directly or use their website to check availability and request a quote for the specific car and dates you want. The price depends on which vehicle you choose, what time of year you are renting it, and how many days you need it. A one-day rental of a high-demand car during peak season (summer, holidays, special events) costs significantly more per day than a one-week rental of the same car.
The rental fee typically includes the car itself, basic insurance coverage, and roadside information. It does not include fuel — you must return the car with a full tank, and if you do not, the company will fill it and charge you for the fuel plus a service fee. The rental fee also does not include parking tickets, tolls, or traffic violations you receive while driving the car. Those are your responsibility.
A security deposit is charged to your credit card when you pick up the car. This is not a fee — it is held as protection against damage, fuel shortages, or other charges. If you return the car on time, in good condition, and with a full tank, the deposit is released back to your card within a few days. If there are charges against the deposit, the company deducts them and returns the remainder.
The Pickup and Return Process
You must pick up and return the car at a Beverly Hills Rent-a-Car location. There is no delivery to your hotel or home. The main locations are in Beverly Hills and Las Vegas, and you can also rent from a Los Angeles location depending on availability. When you arrive for pickup, bring your driver's license, credit card, and proof of insurance. A staff member will walk you through the car, pointing out any existing damage, scratches, or wear. This inspection is important — take photos or video of the car's condition before you leave the lot, because you are responsible for any new damage that occurs during your rental.
You will receive the car with a full fuel tank and a clean interior. You are expected to return it the same way. Return the car on your scheduled date and time. If you are late, you will be charged for additional days. When you return the car, staff will inspect it for damage, check the fuel level, and review the mileage. If everything is in order, you sign off and the security deposit is released. If there is damage or the tank is not full, charges are deducted from the deposit before it is returned to you.
Mileage Limits and Damage Responsibility
Beverly Hills Rent-a-Car typically includes unlimited mileage with most rentals, though this can vary by vehicle and rental length. Ask about mileage limits when you get your quote — some exotic cars may have restrictions. You are responsible for any damage to the car during your rental, including dents, scratches, broken windows, interior stains, and mechanical problems caused by misuse. Normal wear and tear is expected, but intentional or careless damage is charged to you.
If you damage the car, the company will repair it and charge you for the full cost of repairs. This can be thousands of dollars for exotic vehicles, where even minor damage to custom paint or specialized parts is expensive. Some damage may not be visible until after you return the car, so the company may contact you days later with additional charges. This is why the security deposit is important — it covers these charges.
If the car breaks down due to a mechanical problem that is not your fault, the company provides roadside information and will arrange a tow or repair. You are not charged for mechanical failures. However, if the breakdown is caused by misuse — such as running out of fuel, driving off-road, or ignoring warning lights — you may be charged for the repair.
Insurance and Liability
Beverly Hills Rent-a-Car requires you to have valid auto insurance before you rent. Your personal insurance policy should cover rental cars — most do, but some exclude exotic or luxury vehicles. Call your insurance company before you book and confirm that your policy covers the specific type of car you want to rent. If your policy does not cover it, you will need to purchase additional insurance from the rental company.
The rental agreement includes basic liability coverage, which means if you cause an accident and damage someone else's property or injure someone, the company's insurance covers it up to a limit. However, you are still responsible for your deductible, which can be $1,000 or more depending on the agreement. If you cause an accident, you must report it to the rental company when ready and to the police if there are injuries or significant damage.
If you are in an accident and it is determined to be your fault, your insurance and the rental company's insurance will cover the damage to the other vehicle and property. The damage to the rental car itself is covered by the security deposit and any additional charges. If the accident is not your fault, the other driver's insurance should cover all damage.
Cancellation and Change Policies
Beverly Hills Rent-a-Car's cancellation and change policies are not standardized across all bookings — they depend on the specific car, the time of year, and the rental agreement you sign. Some reservations may be fully refundable if you cancel before a certain date, while others may have a cancellation fee. Contact the location directly to ask about the policy for your specific booking before you confirm.
If you need to change your rental dates, call the location as soon as possible. If the car is available on your new dates, the change may be free or may involve a small fee. If the car is not available, you may need to choose a different vehicle or cancel. The earlier you call to make changes, the more options you will have.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a special license to rent an exotic car?
No, a standard valid driver's license is all that is required. There is no special exotic car license. However, the rental company may refuse to rent certain high-performance vehicles to drivers under a certain age or with certain driving records. Ask about restrictions for the specific car you want.
What happens if I get a speeding ticket or parking ticket while driving the rental car?
You are responsible for all traffic violations and parking tickets received while the car is in your name. The rental company will not pay them. If a ticket is issued, it will be sent to the address on file, and you must pay it directly. Some tickets may also result in additional fees from the rental company.
Can I take the car out of state or out of the country?
Beverly Hills Rent-a-Car locations are in California and Nevada, so taking a car across state lines depends on the rental agreement. Some rentals may allow travel within the United States with prior approval, while others restrict the car to California or Nevada only. Ask about travel restrictions when you book.
What if the car breaks down and I am stranded?
The rental agreement includes roadside information. Call the number provided in your rental paperwork, and they will send a tow truck or arrange a repair. You are not charged for mechanical breakdowns that are not your fault. If you are stranded far from a service center, the company will arrange transportation for you.
How long does it take to get my security deposit back?
The security deposit is typically released within three to five business days after you return the car and it has been inspected. If there are damage charges or other deductions, those are processed first, and the remainder is returned. You can check the status by calling the location where you rented the car.
