Guides For Maintaining Your Rental Car Perfectly

Renting a luxury or exotic car is more than just a transaction — it’s stepping into a lifestyle, even if just for a day. Whether you’re behind the wheel of a Rolls-Royce, a Ferrari, or a Lamborghini, the way you care for your rental during the experience makes a huge difference. At COCORENTE, we ensure every vehicle leaves our showroom in pristine condition, and with a little attention from you, it will return the same way.

Here’s our complete guide on how to maintain your rental car perfectly so you can enjoy it stress-free while preserving its elegance for the next guest.

1. Respect the Vehicle Like It’s Your Own

It sounds obvious, but it’s the foundation of every rental experience. Exotic cars are precision-built machines, designed for performance and comfort. Treat the car with the same respect you would your own prized possession:

  • Avoid harsh driving habits like sudden braking or aggressive cornering.
  • Be mindful of road conditions; potholes and uneven surfaces can damage low-clearance sports cars.
  • Keep food, drinks, and smoking away from the interior to preserve its luxury finishes.

A small amount of care ensures the vehicle remains flawless and avoids unnecessary cleaning or repair charges.

2. Follow Fuel and Charging Requirements

Many exotic cars require premium fuel, while hybrid and electric models have specific charging guidelines. Always:

  • Use only premium unleaded fuel at trusted stations.
  • Return the car with the same fuel level it had at delivery.
  • For electric or hybrid models like the Ferrari SF90 or Rolls-Royce Spectre, charge responsibly and use only approved chargers.

Following fuel and charging requirements ensures top performance and avoids costly damage.

3. Park Smart and Protect the Exterior

Parking is often overlooked, but it’s one of the easiest ways to keep a rental safe:

  • Always choose secure, well-lit parking areas.
  • Avoid tight spaces that increase the risk of scratches or dings.
  • Steer clear of curbs when driving low-profile vehicles like the Lamborghini Huracán or Porsche 911.

If possible, opt for valet parking at trusted locations — it adds both safety and convenience.

4. Keep It Clean During Use

Even a short rental can leave behind dust, fingerprints, or light dirt. While a full detail isn’t necessary, you can take simple steps:

  • Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe down the dashboard and touchscreens.
  • Avoid strong cleaning chemicals; leave deep cleaning to our team.
  • If the car gets wet, dry it when possible to prevent water spots, especially on matte or specialty finishes.

By keeping it clean, you’ll feel more comfortable, and the car will stay as stunning as when you picked it up.

5. Pay Attention to Warning Lights and Sounds

Luxury cars are loaded with advanced sensors and alerts. If you notice anything unusual — a warning light, a strange noise, or unusual performance — don’t ignore it. Contact our support team immediately. Many times, it’s something simple, but reporting it early prevents larger issues and shows responsibility.

6. Drive Responsibly and Within Limits

Yes, these cars are built for speed — but public roads aren’t racetracks. Respect speed limits, local traffic laws, and weather conditions. Driving responsibly doesn’t just protect you and the car; it also ensures your insurance and rental agreement remain valid. Remember, the real luxury is enjoying the drive without worry.

7. Document the Condition Before and After

When you pick up your rental, walk around the vehicle with our staff and note any existing marks. Before returning it, do a quick self-check:

  • Remove personal items.
  • Make sure it’s fueled or charged properly.
  • Give it a final once-over to ensure it’s as perfect as when you received it.

This simple step protects you and makes the return process smooth and hassle-free.

8. Trust the COCORENTE Team

At COCORENTE, we prepare every car with meticulous attention to detail — from mechanical inspections to flawless detailing. Our team is here to support you, whether you need advice during your rental, guidance on car features, or emergency assistance. By partnering with us, you can enjoy the full experience without the stress of managing every detail alone.

Conclusion: Drive the Experience, Keep the Elegance

Maintaining a rental car perfectly isn’t about rules — it’s about respect. When you step into a luxury or exotic car, you’re not just renting transportation; you’re becoming part of a lifestyle. By treating the vehicle with care, following simple guidelines, and trusting the COCORENTE process, you ensure your experience is seamless from start to finish.

At the end of the day, luxury isn’t only about the car you drive — it’s about the way you drive it, and the memories you create along the way.
