ACT Test For High School Seniors Put Them On The Road To Success
Reward Yourself After College With A Dream Car

High School Seniors are busy taking the ACT test. 12 years of studying hard comes down to how well they do on the college entrance exam. High scores on the ACT test will help many get into the college of their choice and continue on the road to success.

Sometimes it is hard for them to see the fruit of their labor. After college they seek the perfect job. One that will help them be able to enjoy things such as a luxury or exotic car.

Purchasing a Lamborghini, Ferrari or Mercedes might be out of reach for many. You can still drive one of these cars though by renting an exotic or luxury car for the hour, day, week or month.

Exotic and luxury car rental companies are becoming popular. Show up at a special event in the car of your dreams and heads will turn.

In Dallas, you might want to rent the Ferrari F430 F1. Slide behind the wheel and press red ignition button and the Ferrari F430 engine awakens with a snarl that is unmistakably Ferrari. The sporty Ferrari F430 can be rented at DFW Elite Auto Rental. Located in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, DFW Elite Auto Rental has the largest fleet of exotic and luxury cars available for rent.

Las Vegas customers can rent the Lamborghini Gallardo at Rent A Vette, the Las Vegas exotic car rental company. The Lamborghini Gallardo is sexy, it's fast and it's agile. And, of course, intimidating.

Maybe you want a car to drive along the coast in San Diego. Rent A Vette also has an exotic car rental location in San Diego. The Roush Mustang GT Convertible is a great choice for the coast. For power, the GT packs a 300-horse, 4.6-liter V8 with variable valve timing, made more rambunctious with the addition of Roush dual-sport exhaust. Ford has done a fine job with the new Mustang -Roush has made it only better.

New York drivers could rent a Porsche Boxster from Image Rent A Car. The beautiful and sporty Porsche Boxster is a magnificent sports car. With its 5 speed Tiptronic Automatic transmission, this baby is ready for any driver. The Boxster jumps from 225 to 240-horsepower, and the Boxster goes from 258 to 280 horsepower. This is the most powerful engine ever offered in a Boxster.

No matter where you are located you can drive the car of your dreams. Seniors, study up and do well on your college boards so that you can drive on the road to success in an exotic or luxury car.

DFW Elite Auto Rental Shares Best Questions To Ask
Before Signing An Exotic Car Rental Agreement


October 11, 2007 - DFW, TX – As the luxury auto rental business grows, consumers have more options than ever before. In fact, climbing behind the wheel of a dream car is easier today than it has ever been.

“You have to do your homework before renting an exotic car,” says Tom Warren, General Manager for DFW Elite Auto Rental.com. “There are a lot of new luxury car rental agencies out there, but you definitely want to know what you’re getting beforehand.”

“Hands down, the best question to ask is whether the rental company owns all its cars,” Warren says. “A lot of places broker cars that belong to someone else. So the car a consumer reserves may or may not be available at the time the renter wants it. Plus, brokers who don’t own the exotic cars they provide tend to charge higher prices.”

“And it’s not just the sting of higher prices, owning the cars translates into a better exotic rental experience,” insists Warren. “A broker may not have an expert available to show their clients how to operate every vehicle they broker. As the owners of every one of our exotic rental cars, we have the people in all of our locations to make certain every customer knows enough to drive with confidence.”

Cheryl Lyman, publisher of the most comprehensive online directory of U.S. exotic car rental agencies, RentExoticCars.net, says the average number of vehicles owned by an exotic car rental agency is only five or six. “Regardless of the size of the exotic rental agency’s fleet,” says Lyman,” it’s prudent to ask before renting an exotic car, what the policies are in the event of a mechanical failure. Are you entitled to a refund, credit for future exotic car rental, or an upgrade?”

Beyond making sure that the rental agency owns its cars, Lyman offers the following tips for those wanting to enjoy the exotic car rental experience:

- Check out the age of the cars in the fleet. Older exotic cars may present problems for renters – and nobody wants to spend money to sit by the side of the road!

- Find out what professional affiliations the rental agency has. For example, DFW Elite Auto Rental is a member of the Better Business Bureau, DFW Business Travel Association, Texas Travel Industry Association; and owner Ron Sturgeon has had his used car dealer’s license at the same location for over 30 years. Invest a little time to make sure you are dealing with a reputable exotic car rental agency before you rent.

- Are you able to reach someone at the rental agency or do you leave a message or talk to the operator. A legitimate exotic car rental agency will have staff that can respond to your calls in a timely manner. It’s smart to verify that the agency has a showroom and an office.

- Does the company have satisfied customers? Ask for references. Also, make sure the exotic car rental agency uses a customer satisfaction form, so you know they care what clients think of their service.

Warren notes that insurance is one of the biggest concerns for customers – and it’s also one of the best reasons to rent from a reputable luxury car rental agency. The agency will have the proper commercial insurance for a rental fleet and will help the renter ensure that his or her insurance coverage is adequate.

“In most cases, our customer’s current insurance is adequate for their Dallas exotic car rental,” he says. “Occasionally, we have a customer raise his property damage coverage, but such coverage is inexpensive and is something you need whether or not you rent an exotic car in Dallas.”

“Getting a car from a regular car rental company is a lot like eating vanilla ice cream. It’s okay, but it doesn’t satisfy your sweet tooth,” Warren says. “The beautiful thing about exotic car rental is we rent every flavor in the rainbow, and every flavor creates a different feeling. There’s something for whatever you’re craving.” Why not treat yourself to a 1955 Strawberry Mercedes 300SC, a cherry ’65 Corvette Convertible, or a delicious Lamborghini Gallardo? You deserve it.

DFW Elite Auto Rental.com is headquartered at 5940 Eden in Fort Worth, and serves Houston, San Antonio, and Austin, as well as the DFW Metroplex with more than 50 exotic and luxury cars, trucks and SUV’s.

DFW Elite Auto Rental Celebrates One Year Anniversary
It may be just one year old, but there were no baby steps for DFW Elite Auto Rental.com this year. Instead, the luxury car rental business roared out of the garage on June 1, 2006 – and hasn’t slowed down since. “We knew that there were a lot of people who wanted to enjoy the experience of driving luxury automobiles without the hassles of ownership,” said Ron Sturgeon, owner of DFW Elite Auto Rental.com. “We knew that a business like this would do well – we just didn’t know it would do so well so quickly.” Sturgeon has demonstrated the staying power needed to start such a business. He got his Texas Automobile Dealer’s License 30 years ago just a few miles from his current location. During year one, DFW Elite Auto Rental.com expanded its fleet from about 40 to more than 55 luxury and exotic autos. New additions have included everything from the coveted Aston Martin V8 Vantage to a stunning red 2006 Dodge Viper SR10 Convertible and from armored vehicles to a breathtaking 1986 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible. As the fleet has grown, so has the buzz about this unique Fort Worth-based company. In their May cover story, D Magazine selected renting a convertible from DFW Elite Auto Rental.com as the #1 coolest way to spend a summer weekend in the Metroplex. “We’ve definitely gotten some attention this year,” said Sturgeon, whose business has also been featured on Dallas-area news programs and in newspapers and magazines including Seventeen, Men’s Journal and Texas Journeys. “Members of the media want to bring the newest, sexiest and most fun products to the forefront for their readers – and that’s what we have.”

Specialty Transportation Rental Association is formed

Specialty Transportation Rental Association (STRA) is Launched By Exotic Auto Rental Companies
to Serve Many Transportation Niches and Consumers
Interests Include Exotic and Luxury Vehicles, Motorcycles, Yachts, Aircraft and Off Road

Fort Worth Texas, August 29, 2006-A new organization known as the “Specialty Transportation Rental Association (STRA)” has been formed and will be holding its first annual meeting next month. Membership in the group will be open to qualifying companies in North America and elsewhere who serve a select and discerning public with rentals of luxury and exotic automobiles, aircraft, yachts and other watercraft, limousines, off road vehicles, motorcycles and snowmobiles. The new association is the brainchild of entrepreneur Ron Sturgeon, owner of DFWEliteAutoRental.com, which serves the Texas market. The first meeting will be held September 23, 2006 in Las Vegas, with details to be announced.

“This organization fills an unmet need in the marketplace,” say Sturgeon. “I know from my own business that the luxury and exotic car rental industry is really starting to take off, yet it is fragmented, and there is little recognition for this niche. I did some research and learned that this is also true for other high end forms of transportation rentals, from aircraft to yachts, limousines to motorcycles. By working together as specialty transportation companies to serve our exclusive clients, we can make the pie bigger and everyone’s slice of the pie bigger in turn.”

“I know that a lot of people want to drive luxury and exotic automobiles. By renting them, a dream for many can come true,” says Sturgeon. “One of the association’s first and most important jobs will be to make consumers aware of the luxury and exotic transportation rental opportunities that exist in a number of cities across North America. Of course, we also want businesses to understand the benefits of such rentals, including use for incentives for employees, and other business uses.”

Luxury and exotic cars go beyond the high end cars available to consumers from the large multinational rental car companies. Revered marques such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, and Bentley aren’t typically found on airport rental cars. The same is true for other specialty transportation vehicles, aircraft, and watercraft that will be a part of STRA.

“When I got into this business I was very surprised that there wasn’t an association to join already,” says Shane Atwood, president of Precious Metals Inc., (http://www.preciousmetalscars.com) providing luxury and exotic car rentals in the greater Savannah, GA and Hilton Head, SC area. “Having an association to be a part of will help leading companies standardize important aspects of our business, such as conduct, service, and training. It will also give us a forum to exchange helpful information. It will be of great value to the businesses, and to customers as well.”

“It’s appealing to me to have a group of people in this industry working together,” says John Kiland, president of Rent-A-Vette, (http://www.rent-a-vette.com/) with locations in Las Vegas and Phoenix. “There hasn’t been any cohesiveness in the luxury auto rental industry, and we need a national marketing campaign. Working together as a group, we can raise awareness of the incredible experiences we can offer customers.”

Final plans will be worked out by the organization’s founders who will gather in Las Vegas at the historic inaugural meeting. Using a tried and true structure, Sturgeon will propose a board structure known as the ‘Board of Managers.’ Less than ten in size, it will consist of leading owners and managers from the membership. The organization will be funded by dues and other fees collected from members. Benefits to association members should include co-operative advertising, insurance, purchasing power, and media representation. Consumers will benefit from standardization of customer service levels, ease of location, and the higher standards of service associated with membership.

Sturgeon gained a lot of valuable experience in getting an association off of the ground when he served as a co-founder of the United Recyclers Group (URG), a trade association for the automotive recycling industry. Raising over $4 million from new members in a short period was just a part of the legacy he left at URG, as were his efforts to help reposition the image and marketing for automotive recycling. One person with a front row seat for this was Carol Roedder, a past URG manager, co-owner and corporate secretary for Modern Imports Inc, an automotive recycling firm in St. Louis. She served on the URG Board of Managers with Sturgeon for four years, and was impressed.

“Ron Sturgeon is that perfect combination of entrepreneur with both great ideas and the ability to make them happen,” she says. “I saw him in action at URG meetings and saw the organization grow in value to its members, and raise the stature of our industry. I predict the same thing will happen for the specialty transportation rental industry. Ron is very passionate about what he does.”

“I invite my visionary colleagues from the specialty transportation rental businesses from across North America to join me in Las Vegas next month for a meeting to launch the new association for this exciting and dynamic industry,” says Ron Sturgeon. “The leaders who participate will have a strong voice in helping us form an organization to serve our members and customers, in ways that are not possible unless we all work together.”
For more information on the Specialty Transportation Rental Association please contact Ron Sturgeon, one of the founders. E-mail :rons@DFWEliteAutoRental.com. The association website is http://www.specialtytransportationrentalassoc.com/.

One of only 2000 hand-built vehicles joins fleet of luxury and exotic car rentals

DFW ELITE AUTO
RENTAL.com TAKES DELIVERY OF ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE
One of only 2000 hand-built vehicles joins fleet of luxury and exotic car rentals

Dallas, TEXAS, August 23, 2006 – The newest addition to the extensive luxury and exotic vehicle rental fleet, an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, arrived in Fort Worth on July 25th, and owner Ron Sturgeon said reservations for the hot new model are now being accepted.

The 2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage, the smallest car to come from the British car company famed for its James Bond DB9 vehicles, is already being hailed as an alternative to the popular Porsche 911. Automotive writers have praised its speed and grace, while the sleek styling of the smaller car has also earned high marks.

Aston Martin CEO Dr. Ulrich Bez calls the V8 Vantage “a significant car” for the company, noting that “its design and agility should help widen our appeal and attract younger customers.” The V8 Vantage is a two-seater, and features many of the design elements that have become signatures of the Aston Martin brand. The interior is an evolution of the DB9, incorporating 21^st century style with the distinct flair and feel of old-school Aston Martin.

The arrival of the vehicle at DFW Elite Auto Rental.com is cause for excitement among drivers, said Cade Mannetti, sales specialist at Aston Martin of Dallas, as it is one of the 1^st to arrive in the US, and certainly the first to be in a rental fleet.

“With only two thousand hand-built Aston Martin Vantages being distributed worldwide this year, DFW Elite Auto Rental.com is likely to own the only Vantage available to the public in North America,” he said. “For exotic car enthusiasts everywhere, a driving experience in a car such as this is a very exclusive and rare opportunity.”

Adding to the appeal of that opportunity is the unique color that DFW Elite Auto Rental.com has selected for its custom cruiser. While most of the vehicles ordered throughout North America have been in conservative colors, such as Titanium and Tungsten, Sturgeon selected something that was more eye-popping.

“This car is white with a red interior, so it’s a very sexy car to drive,” further stated Mannetti “Sturgeon wanted something that would be different and would truly stand out on the road. I think anyone who sees this car will know we’ve created a highly unique timeless classic.”

The 380-hp car has a top speed of 175 miles per hour and cost about $150,000, according to Sturgeon. DFW Elite Auto Rental.com is located at 5940 Eden in Fort Worth, and serves Houston, San Antonio, and Austin, as well as the DFW Metroplex. For more information and to see a complete inventory of available vehicles, go to www.dfweliteautorental.com, or call 817-838-RENT.
