Guys Please Dont Ever Rent Out Your Lambos

Yes, sadly people don't realize how risky it is to deal with brokers. In many ways, "renting" your personal car borders on being illegal.

His personal insurance will most likely not cover the theft as he was not registered as a Short Term Leasing/Rental company with Rental Car Insurance.

We have run a fairly large rental car company in Miami for years and do not work with brokers. They do not care who they rent the cars too.

We own/insure our cars and run drivers license, call insurance companies and verify EVERYTHING. Sorry about your friend! Miami rental car industry is the Wild, Wild West...

 

Renting Exotic cars to Wanna Be Ballers in the Heart of Miami.

Looks to me like ALL the warning signs where there, Play stupid games, Win Stupid Prizes

 

Shocker⚡️

 

I **** you not, I saw both those cars in the grove today heading north on US1.

 

In Switzerland a similar thing happened with a Gallardo Spider, finally the car was found in London.

 

Maybe a good idea to post the vin numbers?

 

...true words brother...true words!

 

He needs to get in touch with some people who can help him outside of the normal scope of the law. These people exist. He's dealing with $600k of potential loss.

 

You know what they say about a fool and his cars......they same f-ing thing as a fool and his money.

I understand some people have their financial reason to rent be it not enough or too much money....... Rent a frickin Prius instead. Probably more money in it as it would be rent 24/7/365.

Would the owner's name be Lloyd Christmas by any chance?

 

I can fly out, locate the cars, and get them back double quick, done it before and would do it again, but it’s a dangerous thing to do

 

Oh, just saw how old these posts are.... I’m guessing the cars disappeared?

 

Sorry for your friend situation but no one in their right mind and NOT in the car rental business would rent $700K worth of cars via a broker! Same as walking skid row with a rolex and a tailor made suit if you are not "owning" that street.
This actually is not the worst that could have happen or can happen next. If the car were "rented" and not insured as rentals and these guys kill someone with the car in an accident, your friend will probably be liable since the car was not technically stolen and he is still the owner. Check with an attorney. A real nightmare!
My take is since he seem to have the money then pay the $15K and get the car back. Cost of learning. This is may be the best outcome at this point

 

Do you have a friend in the regular used car business, in Miami ? They will have the name or names of repo guys. The local repo network is probably your best option to find the car without the use, of the local PD.

 

I cannot believe that! I've heard stories of stuff like that, but stealing a Lamborghini is pretty ballsy! They're rare, everyone looks when they see one, and there's a ton of attention with the things! Stealing one is like stealing a Rolex and wearing a poster that says 'Hey, come talk to me.' I wouldn't think that's what a thief would want. Wow

 

the police should be helping this situation out because it clearly isnt the renters fault that they have been stolen. if the cars were taking from the renter and gone missing it is considered stolen so it should already be considered a missing car case!!!

 

do not ever post the vin number of the car it will be hacked and tracked down immediately and stolen!!!!!
