What Enterprise's Exotic Car Collection Offers
Enterprise's Exotic Car Collection is a separate rental division that handles high-end sports cars, luxury vehicles, and performance machines that the standard Enterprise fleet does not carry. You rent directly through their dedicated website or by calling their locations, not through the main Enterprise counter. The cars available vary by location — a small-town Enterprise branch will not stock a Ferrari, but major cities and resort areas typically do.
The collection includes brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, and Bentley, though the specific models change based on what each location has in stock. You can browse what is available at your chosen location before you call or visit. Rental periods work the same way as standard Enterprise rentals — by the day, week, or longer — but the pricing and insurance requirements are different.
Key Takeaways
- Enterprise Exotic Car Collection is a separate booking system from standard Enterprise, with dedicated locations in major cities and tourist areas.
- Daily rental rates for exotic cars typically start at several hundred dollars and go much higher depending on the vehicle, location, and season.
- You must be at least 25 years old, hold a valid driver's license, and provide a credit card in your own name to rent an exotic vehicle.
- Most exotic rentals require a damage waiver or collision damage waiver, and some locations require proof of insurance or a security deposit.
- Mileage limits are common on exotic rentals — many come with a set number of miles per day, and excess mileage carries a per-mile charge.
Age, License, and Payment Requirements
You must be at least 25 years old to rent from the Exotic Car Collection. Some locations may require you to be older for certain vehicles — a Rolls-Royce or limited-production Lamborghini might have a 30-year-old minimum. You need a valid driver's license from your home country or an International Driving Permit if you are renting outside your home country.
Payment is by credit card only, and the card must be in your own name. Enterprise will place a hold on your card for the rental cost plus a security deposit. The deposit amount varies by vehicle and location but is typically several thousand dollars. You cannot use a debit card, prepaid card, or someone else's credit card to find the rental.
Daily Rates and What Affects the Price
Exotic car rental rates are not fixed across all locations or seasons. A Ferrari in Miami in December costs more than the same car in a smaller city in February. Rates also depend on which specific model you choose — a Porsche 911 is less expensive than a Lamborghini Huracán, which is less expensive than a Ferrari F8 Tributo.
Daily rates typically begin in the low hundreds of dollars for entry-level exotic cars and climb into the thousands for the most exclusive models. A one-week rental is usually cheaper per day than a single day, and monthly rates offer further discounts. The rental agreement will show you the exact daily rate, mileage charges, and any additional fees before you confirm.
Fuel is your responsibility. You pick up the car with a full tank and return it full. If you return it empty or partially empty, Enterprise charges a refueling fee plus the cost of the fuel itself, and the per-gallon rate is higher than what you would pay at a gas station.
Mileage Limits and Overage Charges
Most exotic car rentals come with a daily mileage allowance — commonly 75 to 100 miles per day, though this varies by location and vehicle. If you rent for three days with a 100-mile daily limit, you have 300 miles total. Any miles beyond that incur a per-mile charge, which is typically $1 to $3 per mile depending on the vehicle.
Mileage is tracked by the odometer reading when you pick up the car and when you return it. There is no way to dispute the count. If you plan to drive long distances, ask about the mileage policy before you book, because overage charges can add hundreds of dollars to your final bill.
Insurance, Damage Waivers, and Security Deposits
Enterprise requires you to carry collision and comprehensive insurance on the exotic car. You can use your personal auto insurance if it covers rental cars, but you must provide proof of that coverage at pickup. If your insurance does not cover rentals, you must purchase Enterprise's damage waiver or collision damage waiver at the time of rental.
A damage waiver typically costs $50 to $100 per day and reduces your financial responsibility if the car is damaged. However, it does not cover everything — intentional damage, damage from racing or off-road driving, and damage from mechanical failure are usually excluded. Read the waiver terms carefully, because you remain liable for anything not covered.
Enterprise will also place a security deposit hold on your credit card, separate from the rental cost. This deposit is released after you return the car undamaged and the rental agreement is settled. If there is damage, Enterprise will deduct repair costs from the deposit and may charge your card for any amount that exceeds it.
Pickup, Return, and Delivery Options
You pick up your exotic car at the specific Exotic Car Collection location you booked. Not all Enterprise locations have exotic cars — you must book through the Exotic Car Collection website or phone line to find which locations near you stock the vehicle you want. Pickup is typically during business hours, and you will need to show your driver's license, provide the credit card for the hold, and sign the rental agreement.
Return works the same way — you bring the car back to the same location, full of fuel, by the time specified in your agreement. Late returns incur additional daily charges. Some locations offer delivery to your hotel or airport for an extra fee, but this is not standard at all branches.
Restrictions on Use and What Voids Your Rental
Your rental agreement prohibits racing, track driving, off-road use, and towing anything with the car. Driving in severe weather or on unpaved roads may also violate the agreement. If Enterprise determines that damage resulted from prohibited use, you are liable for the full repair cost regardless of whether you purchased a damage waiver.
You are also responsible for traffic violations, parking tickets, and toll charges incurred during the rental period. If you are cited for speeding or running a red light, the ticket goes to you, not Enterprise. Toll violations are billed to the credit card on file, often with an administrative fee added.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rent an exotic car if I have an accident on my driving record?
Enterprise will review your driving history at the time of booking. A recent accident does not automatically disqualify you, but it may result in a higher security deposit or a requirement to purchase additional insurance. Call the Exotic Car Collection location directly to discuss your specific situation.
What happens if I damage the car during the rental?
You are responsible for all damage that occurs while the car is in your possession, unless it is covered by the damage waiver you purchased. Enterprise will assess the damage, obtain repair quotes, and deduct the cost from your security deposit. If repairs exceed the deposit, you will be billed for the remainder.
Can I rent an exotic car one-way, or do I have to return it to the same location?
Most exotic car rentals require you to return the car to the same location where you picked it up. One-way rentals are not typically offered for exotic vehicles due to the high value and specialized nature of the cars.
Do I need a special license to rent a high-performance car?
No, a standard valid driver's license is sufficient. Enterprise does not require a racing license or special endorsement, though they may ask about your driving experience with high-performance vehicles during the booking process.
What if the exotic car breaks down during my rental?
Contact Enterprise when ready. They will arrange roadside information or towing to an authorized service center. You are not responsible for mechanical failures that occur during normal use. Enterprise covers the repair cost, though you may still be charged for the rental days while the car is being fixed.
