Gotham Dream Cars prides itself on providing a highly professional, seamless rental experience. We don't just want to be different from other exotic car rental companies -- we want to downright impress you. To that end, the cornerstones of our philosophy - and why you'll see we're unlike anyone else out there - are these:
- Integrity - We are a real company with real cars, real employees, and real facilities. We are not brokers, middlemen, shucksters, hucksters, or anything but fun guys who love cars. And most importantly - we own & maintain every vehicle in our rental fleet. That means we do not rent cars on behalf of private owners or "swap" with other rental companies. And every single photograph you see on our website is of the actual car you will be driving.
- Legitimacy - We are fully licensed and insured. We do not lie to our insurance company or hide the fact that we're a vehicle rental company. It costs us more, but it means we'll be around for the long haul. We've been in business for over 4 years under the same name (no fly-by-night operation here), and we're not going anywhere soon!
- Honesty - We run an honest, ethical business. We deeply value our great reputation and the satisfaction of every one of our clients, and we'll work to no end to uphold that. We also know that unforseen events do come up -- vehicles break down, customers are sometimes late to return cars, employees get sick - you get the gist. When things happen, we keep you informed and work as hard as humanly possible to make it all right.
- Reliability - Because we operate only our own vehicles and manage our own deliveries, you don't ever have to worry about whether your car will actually show up or if the red Ferrari F430 you reserved actually turns out to be yellow Ferrari 360. We know there's a difference, and you know too.
- Fun - We're car guys (and gals). We're not doing this to launder money, curry favor, or boost our own egos. We're in this business because we love cars and we love seeing the expressions on our clients' faces when we hand the keys over. We want to impart that sense of fun and enthusiasm on you at all times.
- Value - Yeah, we know, "value" isn't the first thing you think of when renting an exotic car. But we understand the economics of this business and we're here to give you the best possible experience and service at the lowest possible price. We don't waste money but we also don't cut corners. Nor are we here to nickel-and-dime you -- your first tank of gas is always on us, tolls are always included, and we're not going to charge you if you show up 20 minutes late.
- Transparency - Lots of people call and ask "what's the catch?" or "what am I missing?" There is no catch; it's all here on our website. There are no hidden fees, obscure taxes, or secret vehicles that we're keeping from you. You are seeing us as we are, and that's the way it should be.
Gotham Dream Cars was founded for a very simple reason: We searched for a place to rent a supercar in the Northeast, and we didn't find any worth a phone call.
There are lots of places where you can rent what others call an "exotic" car -- a Viper, a Mercedes, or even a PT cruiser. But when it comes to what we call an exotic -- a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, or Aston Martin, the market fell short.
And so Gotham Dream Cars was born.
We love New York City, and it breaks our hearts when we hear people talk about driving in this city like it's a four-letter word. "The roads are terrible"..."The weather's awful"..."There's nowhere fun to drive." Well they're wrong, wrong, and wrong. Potholes can be driven around, it's sunny more often than not, and there are plenty of fun places to drive in and around the tri-state area.
And in December of 2006, we discovered that we love South Florida too! The roads around Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and Palm Beach are long, smooth and fast, the weather is spectacular, and the vibe is perfectly conducive to enjoying an ultra-exotic car.
Our passion is driving, pure and simple. The speed. The power. The adrenaline. That's why our mission is to bring you the most exotic, exciting, and outrageous fleet of rental vehicles in the world -- cars you won't find anywhere else. And as we expand that mission to other cities around the country (and around the world), we hope you will be there with us. It's time to stop dreaming and start driving.
