Celebrities are all about being seen and what they are seen in literally. To keep up their reputations they need to sport the hottest fashions, companions and of course cars. The exotic cars you always see them in are usually very flashy and most certainly worthy of a second look. After seeing some of these people with what seems like a new car for everyday of the week I began to wonder, “Can they possibly own all of these cars”? After a little digging I think I may have very well found my answer, behold the “Exotic Car Rental”.

In the last few years it seems as through Exotic Car Rental companies have been popping up everywhere, especially in the big cities. A good example of this can be seen in Miami, Florida. It is not uncommon to see Exotic Car Rental shops on every major street in Miami Beach and there is even an entire street near the Miami airport that has informally been named “Luxury Car Row”. To the layman these companies may seem like normal run of the mill car rental agencies but there is a lot more than meets the eye when it comes to these types of car rentals.

Historically in the UK when you passed your driving test you were issued with a driving licence that was valid until you were 70. You then had to re-apply for a licence every 5 years. With the introduction of the new style photo card driving licence in July 1998 this has changed.

Over the years people's tastes have changed considerably. The traditional view of a wedding car was a chauffeur driven limousine from Rolls-Royce, Bentley or similar. A whole new market then developed with people using chauffeur driven modern stretched limos both in the US and in Europe where the American limos have been imported in large numbers. For those that think a white Rolls is too traditional and a stretched limo is too vulgar, a third alternative has developed over the past ten to fifteen years. Many people are now hiring classic cars for their weddings.

If you are planning to buy a big Austin Healey then you need to make absolutely sure you are buying the right model for your needs, before you even take one for a test drive. The owner is probably only going to let you out for a short test run of about 10 to 15 minutes. This may be long enough for you to decide if the car is in good enough condition to buy and that everything is working. But it isn't long enough for you to decide whether it is the right model Healey for you or whether you can live with it or not. And if you are planning to spend over twenty thousand Pounds on an Austin Healey then you are in it for the long term. The best thing to do is hire a car of the model that you are planning to buy, to see if you really like it and can live with it.
