Terms & Conditions

By booking, reserving, or renting a vehicle from Valero Exotics Exotic Car Rentals ("Valero," "we," "us," or "our"), you ("Renter," "you," or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Valero. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use our services or rent a vehicle from us.

These Terms and Conditions supplement and are in addition to any rental agreement you sign at the time of vehicle pickup. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the rental agreement, the rental agreement shall prevail.

To rent a vehicle from Valero, you must meet the following requirements:

• Age Requirement: You must be at least 25 years of age at the time of rental. Valid government-issued photo identification is required to verify your age.

Your license must have been held for a minimum of 2 years. Temporary, learner's, or restricted permits are not accepted.
• Insurance: You must provide proof of full-coverage automobile insurance that extends to rental vehicles, including comprehensive and collision coverage with a minimum coverage of $100,000. Your insurance must cover exotic and luxury vehicles. If your policy does not cover rental vehicles or exotic cars, you must purchase supplemental coverage through Valero or an approved third-party provider before the rental period begins.

• Credit Card: You must have a valid major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, or American Express) in your name for payment and security deposit purposes. Debit cards, prepaid cards, and cash are not accepted for security deposits.

Valero reserves the right to refuse service to anyone who does not meet these eligibility requirements or for any other reason at our sole discretion.

Reservations can be made through our website, by phone at (347) 477-3428, or by email at info@valeroexotics.com. All reservations are subject to vehicle availability.

• A reservation is not confirmed until you receive a written confirmation from Valero and the required deposit has been processed.
• Valero reserves the right to substitute a vehicle of equal or greater value if the reserved vehicle becomes unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances.
• You must provide accurate and complete information when making a reservation. Providing false or misleading information may result in cancellation of your reservation and forfeiture of any deposits paid.
• For same-day or next-day bookings, additional verification steps may be required.
• Rental periods are calculated in 24-hour increments. Late returns may be subject to additional daily rental charges.

All prices listed on our website and promotional materials are in US Dollars and are subject to change without notice. Pricing does not include applicable taxes, fees, surcharges, or optional add-ons unless explicitly stated.

• Rental Rates: Daily rental rates vary by vehicle and season. Weekend, holiday, and peak-season rates may apply. The rate confirmed at the time of booking is the rate you will be charged.
• Additional Fees: Additional charges may apply for delivery/pickup services, additional drivers, late returns, excessive mileage, tolls, traffic violations, fuel replacement, cleaning fees, and any other services or charges outlined in your rental agreement.

A security deposit is required for all rentals and will be placed as a hold on your credit card at the time of vehicle pickup.

• Deposit Amount: Security deposits range from $2,500 to $10,000 depending on the vehicle rented. The specific deposit amount for your rental will be communicated at the time of booking and confirmed before vehicle pickup.
• Hold Duration: The security deposit hold will be released within 7 to 14 business days after the vehicle is returned in satisfactory condition, subject to inspection.
• Deductions: Valero reserves the right to deduct from the security deposit any amounts owed for damage, excessive wear, cleaning fees, fuel replacement, traffic or parking violations, toll charges, late return fees, excess mileage charges, or any other charges arising from your rental.
• Insufficient Deposit: If charges exceed the security deposit amount, you are responsible for paying the remaining balance. Valero reserves the right to charge your credit card on file for any outstanding amounts.
