RENTAL POLICY
Below you will find the Rental Policy of Exotic Car Rental Tampa, a division of Prestige Luxury Auto Rentals (hereinafter referred to as “Prestige” and or “We”). Please note that this policy is subject to change without notice, at the discretion of Prestige.
Rental Agreement
All clients of Prestige are required to complete a rental agreement prior to renting their selected vehicle(s). Along with the rental agreement the client must submit a copy of their driver’s license as well as the driver’s license of any other person that will be operating the vehicle. Prestige then checks the drivers licenses to ensure that the clients driving records are clean. We reserve the right to deny renting a vehicle, to any person, for any reason, at any time.
Age Requirements
The minimum age to rent a vehicle is 25. However, for certain vehicles, and for an additional charge, Prestige may rent to drivers younger than 25. However, under no circumstance will we rent to drivers that are under 21.
Insurance Requirements
All renters are required to have and must present proof to Prestige of their own personal liability and physical damage automobile insurance policies. Furthermore, the renter must confirm with their insurance carrier that the policy they have will cover the vehicle being rented. For renters who do not have personal insurance coverage, we provide insurance at an additional charge.
International Clients
Clients with a valid driver’s license and passport from their native country may rent vehicles from Prestige.
Additional Drivers
If persons other than the primary renter will be operating the vehicle they must be listed as additional drivers on the rental agreement. Each additional driver listed will be subject to the same requirements as the primary renter, as well as, an additional driver fee.
Delivery / Pick-up
Whether you need to be picked up at the airport or a private residence, Prestige provides free pick-up and drop-off to any location in Central Florida, for rentals of $2,000 or more. If you will be outside of the Central Florida area or your rental is less than $2,000, don't worry we will also deliver and pick-up at an additioanl rate. Please call us for more details. For all pick-ups and drop-offs, please remember to allow an additional 30 minutes for the vehicle exchange process.
Return Times
Vehicles must be returned at the time stated on the rental agreement. We allot a 1 hour grace period in which a vehicle may be returned after the time noted. However, vehicles scheduled to be returned between 8 pm and 8 am will not be given a grace period and must be returned at that specific time. Any vehicle returned after the grace period (if applicable) or late may be subject to additional rental fees.
Damage Deposit Requirements
Prestige requires all of our renters to provide us with a deposit which will be used to cover any minor damages to vehicle. This deposit can be given in the form of a credit card authorization or cash. The cost for any damage found on the vehicle during its return inspection will be deducted from this deposit. The amount of this deposit will vary and will depend on if the renter has their own insurance policy as well the type of vehicle being rented.
Cancellation Policy
When you make a reservation with Prestige you are required to give a deposit equal to one days rental of your selected vehicle. In the event you cancel less than 48 hours in advance of your rental you agree to pay this deposit to Prestige as a cancelation fee. Furthermore, during certain special events, Prestige may charge a cancellation fee equal to 100% of your rental, if your reservation is not cancelled 72 hours in advance of your rental. You will be notified in writing if this cancellation fee applies to your reservation.
Methods of Payment
We accept American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Discover and Cash as methods of payment for rental fees and damage deposits. Prestige does not accept personal or corporate checks.
Fuel Charge
All vehicles need to be returned with the same amount of gas as when you received it. If not, Prestige may impose a gas surcharge of $7.00 per gallon. Also when you do refuel a vehicle you need to use a Premium grade gasoline. If not, you will be charged a penalty of $500 for using a lesser grade. We check the grade of gasoline upon return of the vehicle so we will know.
Refunds
While we do not offer refunds for vehicle rentals, our main goal is customer satisfaction and we will try our best to make your rental experience an unforgettable one. If for some reason you are less than satisfied, Prestige may at times offer additional days rentals at no cost, if deemed appropriate by us.

In the event this Rental Policy is violated, we reserve the right to immediately take back the vehicle. Furthermore you agree to pay Prestige all fees incurred as a result of your violation of this policy.
Mileage Allowance
Clients are permitted to drive their rented vehicle 150 miles per rental day. All miles driven over this amount may be subject to an additional surcharge. The surcharge imposed will depend on the vehicle rented as well as the miles driven. Please be sure to request the surcharge for you specific vehicle at the time of rental.
Tickets
The renter agrees that they are responsible for and shall pay for all parking, traffic, speeding or other tickets or violations (i.e. towing and impound fees) received while the vehicle is in their possession. Also, the time a vehicle spends in the impound is counted as if the car is being used by the renter. Therefore, you are still required to pay the rental fees and return the vehicle on time.
