Before you drive

How it works

Four steps from a request to a car in your driveway. Everything we ask for is on this page, in the order we ask for it — no counter, no clipboard, nothing you find out about at the kerb.

Illustrative

STRADA is a fictional brand built as a VertikWeb portfolio concept. The requirements below are modelled on what real exotic rental operators publish, but every figure on this page — ages, deposits, mileage, fees — is invented. None of it is a real term of business.

From request to keys

  1. 01

    Request

    Pick the car, the date and the address it should be waiting at. Reserving sends a request — nothing is charged and nothing is held against your card at this stage.

  2. 02

    Verify

    We check the licence, the driving record and the insurance, then send the agreement and the deposit authorisation. Usually the same day, and always before we confirm the car.

  3. 03

    Delivery

    The car arrives fuelled and clean at the address you gave us. Fifteen minutes on the walkaround and the controls, and the one or two things worth knowing before you pull out.

  4. 04

    Return

    We collect from the same address at the agreed hour. The deposit authorisation releases once the car has been inspected — typically within three business days.

What we need from you

All of it is standard for the category. It is on this page rather than at the end of a booking flow because finding out at the end is the actual complaint people have about renting a car like this.

Minimum age
25

Thirty for the Ferrari, the McLaren and the Huracán. There is no exception on those three, whatever the record looks like.

Licence
Held 2+ years

Full and valid, in the renter's own name. International licences are accepted alongside a passport.

Driving record
Checked

We pull a motor vehicle report. An impaired-driving or reckless-driving conviction, or more than two moving violations in three years, is a decline.

Payment
Credit card

In the renter's own name. Debit, prepaid and third-party cards can't carry the deposit authorisation.

Deposit hold
$5,000–$25,000

An authorisation, not a charge. The amount depends on the car, and it releases after the return inspection.

Insurance
Required

Your own policy carrying comprehensive and collision, or one arranged through us at booking. Proof has to be in before the car leaves.

Tell us the car and the date

We'll confirm the car is free, send the agreement, and start the record check the same day. If something on this page rules you out, we'd rather say so in the first reply than in the last one.
