Prices for exotic car rentals can be tough to understand. Prices vary by manufacturer, model, year, geographical location, and of course the rental company that you are purchasing from. Here at ExoticCarRentalGuide.com, we want to help remove that confusion.

What Other Costs Should You Look Out For?
Besides the base rental cost, there are a few other fees and taxes you should be aware of for your next rental purchase.
- Sales tax – typically, most rental companies are not going to include sales tax in their base fee. Sales tax will vary by state.
- Security deposit – of the companies that we analyzed, over half require a refundable security deposit – the average deposit is around $500. You’ll get this money back after you return your vehicle, as long as you returned everything in good condition and within their rental requirements.
- Fuel charge – if you go over a certain mileage during the day, you’ll often have to pay for the extra fuel that you use. Be sure to check your rental agreement so you know what that mileage number is.
- State charge – some states require a small fee on top of normal sales tax for exotic car rentals, typically only about $5 a day.
- Delivery or pick-up fee – if you need your vehicle delivered or picked up, some companies will charge you to provide this service. About 30% of the companies we analyzed provide this service for free.
