With prices in the high 5 and 6-figure ranges, exotic cars are just out of the budget for most people. Even if you can afford one, you wouldn't want to buy every high-performance exclusive model that comes out. Yet, every time we hear about a new sports car in production or gloss over a magazine feature about one of these machines, our hearts leap a little.
Don't we all want to drive a Murcielago or a 911 Turbo at least once?
Gotham Dream Cars provides this experience for regular people. For a couple thousand of dollars, you can drive your own supercar for 24 hours. Imagine cruising around New York and Miami's nightlife scene in one of these vehicles or sitting in the cockpit burning fuel at 300 kph in wide open road. It's the experience of a lifetime.
The company offers rental for the most coveted models from the most exclusive car manufacturers in the world - Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Porsche, Aston Martin, among others. They deliver it door-to-door anywhere in Central Florida, South Florida and the New York Tri-State area.
One of their most popular services is the Dream Car Tours, allowing customers to sample up to six cars in a single day. For $795, you get first-hand instruction on each vehicle's operation, drive one for 30 minutes, pull over, switch with another driver and drive a different car. This four-hour event is very popular and allows entrants an opportunity to drive over a million dollars worth of automobiles. The vehicles included in the event vary from time to time based on availability and other factors.
Among the vehicles currently in Gotham's fleet include:
* Ferrari F430 & 360 Spider
* Lamborghini Gallardo, Gallardo Spyder and Murcielago
* Bentley Continental GTC & Flying Spur
* Porsche 911 GT3
* Aston Martin Vanquish
* Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
* BMW M5
Most of the customers who take advantage of Gotham's services are tourists and motoring enthusiasts, as well as wives and girlfriends who wanted to give unique gifts to their partner. A notable client base for Gotham's offerings are wealthy individuals who are planning to put down money for a production super car but would like to test it first for an extended amount of time.
In order to drive one of the cars in Gotham's fleet, you must fill up an application, meet existing requirements and agree to their terms of service.
Requirements include having a clean driving record and your own insurance plan that will extend coverage to the rented vehicle, among other minor terms. Drivers are required to adhere to strict policies regarding fuel load, area restrictions and prohibited uses such as joining races.
