Rent A Luxury Car And Surprise Your Loved One

She has always eyed the shiny new Cadillac Escalade parked down the street. You can't afford one right now, but you can afford to rent a for a weekend and surprise the love of your life. It need not be a romantic escape for two; you could surprise your Dad with a rental sports car for Father's Day weekend or treat a friend who is impossible to buy a gift for Christmas.

Here are a few tips to remember when you rent a luxury car:

Do your Homework

Find out what car your loved one dreams of driving and if there are any particular options or colors they have in mind. Find out all about the car from the manufacturers website or by visiting a local dealership. That way you'll know what your boyfriend meant when he said he would love to drive a 7-series BMW.

Familiarize yourself with all the options so that you don't waste time fiddling with knobs and gadgets as soon as you rent the car. Ask around at rental agencies for the color or options of your choice. Your Dad may not be picky about the color, but he may adore the Bose surround sound and navigation system.

a luxury car. See if your credit card offers any partner deals or if you can use your airline miles or credit card points to rent a luxury car. Look for coupon codes online and in print. Many car rental agencies like Enterprise offer a free upgrade coupon on the back of their receipts. That way you can rent a by just paying for a premium or mid size vehicle.

Choose unlimited mileage

Give the recipient flexibility of where he or she wants to go and opt for the unlimited mileage option which is standard with big names like Budget, Hertz and Alamo. Some exotic cars, like a Rolls Royce Phantom or a Ferrari, however, may be rented based on hourly or daily rates and limited mileage. Therefore, be clear on the details lest you are charged a penalty for driving more than the allotted miles.

Add their Name

If you're surprising your girlfriend, remember to add her name on the rental agency's paperwork so that she can drive her dream car for herself. You'll need her driver's license number and a few other basic details.

Find out about Frills

Rent a from a company that arranges for the car to come to you so the surprise is even better.
