Exotic car rental cost, explained
Every line on the quote and what it pays for: the rate by marque and model, how the figure changes with the length and the date, the security deposit, mileage and the fees on top.
The day rate is the car; the length changes it, because a week is priced as a block on most of the fleet and a single day is not; the date changes it, because a Saturday in season and a Tuesday in February are not the same Saturday; and underneath sits a refundable hold that is released when the car comes back as it left.
The live figures are on the pages that sell: exotic car rental prices, car by car for the whole fleet, and each car’s own page for its rate, its block prices and its deposit. This hub does the explaining those pages do not have room for — what the deposit is and when it comes back, what a mileage allowance actually buys on Los Angeles roads, where a cheap headline rate gets its money back, and how the bill for a Lamborghini or a Rolls-Royce is put together line by line.
The questions below are the ones people put to Google before they book.
How a quote is built, and what "cheap" means
The bill by marque: Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce
By length: a day, a weekend, a week, a month
The security deposit: amount, hold versus charge, release

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent an exotic car in Los Angeles?
Nizo Luxury rents from $102 to $2,500 a day — +1 (424) 303-6496: a Porsche from $286, a Lamborghini from $999, a Ferrari from $1,999 and a Rolls-Royce from $2,200. On top of the day rate sit the Protection plan, delivery when the car is neither collected nor going to a partner hotel, and sales tax; the refundable hold, from $350 to $2,000, is back with you 5–7 business days after a clean return, longer only if there is damage to price.
How is the price of an exotic rental worked out?
The car's day rate for your dates, built from the cheapest mix of single days and the five- and twenty-one-day blocks on the cars that carry them; the Protection plan per day, unless your own policy is accepted; delivery, if the car is neither collected nor going to a partner hotel; a young-driver fee per day under 25; and Los Angeles County sales tax at 10.25%. The refundable hold sits outside the total, and every line is on the quote before you pay.
How do I pay — can I use a debit card, cash, Zelle or crypto?
By major credit card — Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover — rather than cash, a bank transfer such as Zelle, or crypto. The rental, the Protection plan and the sales tax are paid in full when you book, and nothing more is taken at pickup. The refundable hold must be on a credit card in the renter's own name — not a debit card, and not somebody else's card — placed at handover and released 5–7 business days after a clean return, longer only if there is damage to price.
