What You Need to Rent a Performance Car in Asheville, NC

Renting a performance car is not dramatically different from renting anything else, but a few things are stricter, and it is worth knowing them before you fall in love with a car you cannot drive yet.

Age requirements

Most vehicles in our fleet rent to drivers 21 and up. Our performance and exotic tier is stricter: many of those require drivers to be 25 or 30, depending on the vehicle. Every vehicle page on our site lists its minimum age right at the top, so check there before you plan around a specific car.

License and verification

You will verify your driver's license digitally during checkout, which takes about a minute on your phone. No separate office visit required.

Security deposit

Most vehicles carry a refundable security deposit, held at pickup and released after the car comes back. The exact amount is shown during booking before you pay, so there is no surprise at pickup.

Insurance

Our cars are insured and inspected. If you have questions about how your own auto policy or credit card coverage applies to a rental like this, that is worth a quick call to your insurer before you book, since coverage varies by provider and by vehicle class.

Mileage and multi-day pricing

Performance vehicles typically include 150 miles per day, which covers a full day on the Parkway with room to spare. Multi-day bookings save automatically: 10% off at 3+ days, 15% off weekly, and 20% off monthly on most vehicles.

Ready to book

Everything from booking to contract signing happens online. If you would rather talk it through first, call (828) 532-2030 and we will walk you through which cars you qualify for and what to expect at pickup.
