Luxury Car Culture: Exotic Vehicle Rentals and Events in OC
Everyone knows that a visit to Southern California usually necessitates a car rental to get around during your trip. If you’re happy to grab a standard sedan or SUV from the airport and hit the road ASAP, we get it - but for those who are looking for something with a bit more style, a bit more power or just something to turn heads, there are options around Anaheim that can deliver the exotic car you desire.
To Rent:
If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping off your jet and into a Maserati or a drop-top ‘Vette, Instant Luxury Rentals is your hookup when you fly into Fullerton Municipal Airport (though if you just want to skip the whole jet part, you can still swing by and grab a car). ILR is approaching two decades of experience in the luxury car rental game and can accommodate corporate rental needs or provide special vehicles for your special wedding day. You can also arrange a rental with delivery and pickup to your location, and they even offer luggage transfer services if you want to hop off a plane and into a car without waiting for your baggage to come along with you.
Located in Huntington Beach, Monza’s fleet ranges from supercars like a McLaren 750s Spyder to ultra-luxurious Maybachs and Rolls Royces to eye-catching Lamborghinis and imposing Land Rovers. For a truly unique Southern California experience, they’ve even acquired a GLS 600 formerly owned by Kim Kardashian if you want to put yourself in her driver’s seat. Regular visitors can join their VIP Membership club for extra perks like complimentary fuel and delivery services around Orange County. Looking for a vacation spot where your rental won’t be out of place? They also have a collection of Beverly Hills and Hollywood villas available for rent as well.
Based in Irvine at private 20,000 square foot facility, SSR Experience serves Orange County with their selection of luxury vehicles; their Lambo-focused fleet studded with the occasional Ferrari or even Toyota Supra supercar. Available for wedding shoots, impressive date nights or cruises along the coastline, SSR also tunes and modifies their vehicles with upgraded exhausts and aftermarket wheels for a truly unique look when you hit the road. If you know someone that would love a drive in one of these cars but aren’t sure what they’d prefer, grab them a SSR gift card and let them pick for a great day of driving.
To View:
If you love the look of a supercar or classic vehicle but don’t feel the need to get behind the wheel, there are options around the OC for you too. We’d start you out at the weekly South OC Cars and Coffee event, which bills itself as the world’s largest weekly car car show - and when they bring in as many as 3,000 cars at a time, that’s not just talk. Taking place every Saturday morning, rain or shine, at the Outlets of San Clemente, you’ll get to check out everything from imported luxury vehicles to souped-up supercars, classic roadsters, muscle cars and even motorcycles.
If your schedule aligns or you want to make a special trip to the area, October’s annual Cars n’ Copters On the Coast pairs hypercars and helicopters for a truly special day by the beach. Attendees can check out hundreds of Bugattis, Aston Martins, McLarens and more. Helicopters that have appeared at the show include the famous “Airwolf” Bell 222, the Bell Jet Ranger, Police MD 530F choppers and military birds like the AH-1F attack copter and the UH-60 Black Hawk. You’ll also find food vendors and other orgs to appeal to the car enthusiast, and proceeds benefit the Huntington Beach Police and Community Foundation.
Finally, the annual Orange County Auto Show is in its third decade, taking place each autumn at the Anaheim Convention Center. The show brings hundreds of cars for display as well as EV ride experiences, test drives and driving simulators, family fun and more over a long weekend.
To Buy:
