    Hey everyone, I’ve been seeing a lot of questions lately about whether upgrading to a premium vehicle for a trip is actually worth the cost. Having done this a few times now, I wanted to share a few tips for anyone looking for a luxury car rental service that doesn’t disappoint.

    1. Check the Fleet Age: Don't just look for the brand; ask for the model year. A 2024 S-Class is a very different experience than a 2019 model.

    2. Understand the Insurance Gap: Your standard credit card insurance often caps out at a certain value (usually $50k), which won't cover a Lamborghini or a high-end Rolls Royce.

    3. Delivery Services: Many top-tier services will deliver the car directly to your hotel or airport terminal-total lifesaver.

    I’ve found that the best providers are the ones that offer a 'Model Guarantee' so you don't end up with a 'similar' car. If you’re looking for a reliable luxury car rental service, I personally recommend checking out India Tour Taxi-their transparent pricing and fleet variety made my last trip much smoother.

    Has anyone else had a great (or terrible) experience with exotic rentals? Curious to hear your thoughts!
