Collection Gift Guide: Rental Star
December 1, 2006
For those who crave something more out of their next rental-car experience, Beverly Hills–based O’Gara Coach Rentals will deliver luxury automobiles to customers in California, Arizona, and Nevada. “There was a lack of high-end cars in the rental pool, so I saw an opportunity,” explains Alex Fischer, who launched the service over the summer as a hassle-free, supercar experience.

Larger rental companies have started to include luxury and exotic vehicles in
their fleets, but O’Gara—namesake of the premium auto dealership O’Gara Coach Co., also in
Beverly Hills—focuses only on the highest-end models. “Our lowest-end cars are the
Bentley Continental GT and Flying Spur,” Fischer says. The company’s most recent
purchase, a Maserati Quattroporte, expands the fleet—which also includes a yellow
Lamborghini Gallardo, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom, an Aston Martin, and a Murciélago Roadster—to 14
cars. (Click image to enlarge)
In addition to drive time, O’Gara provides roadside assistance, a free tank of gas, and concierge services, such as hotel arrangements and ticket bookings. With complete confidentiality, the company will also deliver and return cars free of charge. Rental agreements come tailor-made so customers may take the cars out for a half day, a week, or even monthly. “If you’re thinking about purchasing one of these vehicles, a short-term rental agreement is a great way to test out the car before making the big decision,” Fischer says. Prices range from $1,499 for a day in a red Ferrari 360 Modena to $14,999 for a week with the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Prices for Mercedes, Porsche, Spyker, and Maybach models are available upon request.
