First Class Exotics, LLC — Costa Mesa, California
Effective Date: January 1, 2025 • Last Updated: May 2025
Please read these Terms carefully. By reserving a vehicle or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and any Rental Agreement executed at the time of your reservation. These Terms govern your use of this website and your relationship with First Class Exotics, LLC.
First Class Exotics, LLC (“First Class Exotics,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a California limited liability company providing exotic and luxury vehicle rental services. Our principal place of business is:
To rent a vehicle from First Class Exotics, you must meet all of the following requirements at the time of reservation and vehicle delivery:
We reserve the right to refuse service to any individual who does not meet these requirements or whose rental we deem a safety risk at our sole discretion.
Reservations are confirmed upon receipt of a non-refundable deposit as specified at the time of booking. All reservations are subject to vehicle availability. We will make every effort to fulfill your reservation; in the unlikely event a booked vehicle is unavailable, we will offer a comparable substitute or a full refund.
A security deposit hold will be placed on your credit card at the time of vehicle delivery. The hold amount varies by vehicle and will be disclosed during the reservation process. The hold is released upon return of the vehicle in satisfactory condition, subject to any applicable charges for damage, fuel, cleaning, or mileage overages.
All rental rates are quoted exclusive of applicable California taxes, delivery fees, and any optional add-ons. Rates are subject to change without notice until a reservation is confirmed with a deposit.
Date changes are subject to availability and may incur a rescheduling fee. We reserve the right to cancel any reservation due to severe weather, safety concerns, or circumstances beyond our control, in which case a full refund will be issued.
Only the approved renter listed on the Rental Agreement may operate the vehicle. Additional authorized drivers must be pre-approved, meet all eligibility requirements, and be listed on the Rental Agreement prior to the rental period. Unauthorized operation of the vehicle is a material breach of these Terms and voids all coverage.
All rentals are for use within the State of California only, unless prior written authorization is obtained from First Class Exotics. Out-of-state travel without authorization is a material breach of the Rental Agreement and may result in immediate vehicle recovery at the renter’s expense.
The following uses are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate termination of the rental, forfeiture of all deposits, and potential legal action:
Each rental includes a specified daily mileage allowance as disclosed at the time of booking. Miles in excess of the included allowance are charged at a per-mile overage rate specified in the Rental Agreement. The odometer will be recorded at vehicle delivery and return. Tampering with the odometer is illegal and will result in full legal liability.
All vehicles are delivered with a full tank of premium fuel (91+ octane or higher as required by the specific vehicle). The vehicle must be returned with a full tank of the appropriate fuel grade. Failure to refuel will result in a fueling fee plus the cost of fuel at prevailing rates. Use of any fuel other than the specified grade may cause engine damage and will be the renter’s sole financial responsibility.
The renter is responsible for all damage to the vehicle occurring during the rental period, regardless of fault, except where covered by verified insurance. This includes but is not limited to: collision damage, tire damage, wheel damage, paint scratches, interior damage, and undercarriage damage.
In the event of any accident, collision, or incident involving the vehicle, the renter must:
In addition to repair costs, the renter may be liable for diminished value of the vehicle resulting from damage, as exotic vehicles may suffer significant market value loss following any accident history.
During any period the vehicle is out of service for repairs due to renter-caused damage, the renter will be charged a daily loss-of-use fee at the vehicle’s standard rental rate.
Renters must provide proof of personal auto insurance with liability coverage meeting California minimum requirements, or purchase a supplemental coverage option offered by First Class Exotics. Standard personal auto insurance policies vary widely in their coverage of exotic rental vehicles — renters are strongly encouraged to confirm coverage with their insurance provider prior to the rental date.
First Class Exotics maintains commercial fleet insurance on all vehicles. However, renter-caused damage resulting from prohibited use or policy violations is not covered and remains the renter’s sole responsibility.
First Class Exotics offers complimentary delivery and pickup within designated service areas in Orange County, Los Angeles, Riverside County, and San Diego County. Delivery fees may apply for extended distances or specific locations. A responsible adult must be present to accept the vehicle at the delivery location.
At the time of delivery, a First Class Exotics representative will conduct a condition inspection and document the vehicle’s state. The renter must review and sign the condition report. Any pre-existing damage noted will not be the renter’s liability. New damage discovered upon return that was not documented at delivery will be the renter’s responsibility.
The vehicle must be returned at the date and time specified in the Rental Agreement. Late returns without prior authorization will result in additional daily rental charges at the vehicle’s standard rate, billed in full-day increments. Rental extensions must be requested and approved at least four (4) hours prior to the scheduled return time, subject to availability.
First Class Exotics provides roadside assistance for mechanical failures not caused by renter negligence. In the event of a mechanical issue, the renter must contact us immediately at (949) 294-5958. Do not attempt to service or repair the vehicle yourself. We will arrange towing, a replacement vehicle (when available), or other appropriate assistance at no charge for covered mechanical failures.

These Terms and any Rental Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Orange County, California.
Prior to initiating litigation, the parties agree to attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes may be resolved through binding arbitration administered under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, unless either party elects to bring a claim in small claims court.
