DALLAS/FORT WORTH, TX, September 30, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- In four years, founders Noah Lehmann-Haupt, Raefer Gabriel and Rob Ferretti have built their privately held company into a leading provider of exotic car rentals and dream car driving experiences in New York and Florida. Achieving nearly ten-fold revenue growth has landed their enterprise on
Inc Magazine's list of the fastest growing private companies in America.
Starting with a garage and a single Ferrari in 2003,
Gotham Dream Cars has grown its fleet to 22 dream cars worth more than 4 million dollars. Revenues have climbed from $262,835 in 2004 to 2.9 million in 2007.
"We're very proud to see an
exotic car rental firm,
car sharing club, and
dream car tour provider make the list of the fastest growing companies in America," said Ron Sturgeon, President of the
Exotic Car Rental Association (ECRA).
"Gotham Dreamcars is a remarkably well run and customer-focused company," said Cheryl Lyman, the owner of
CS Publications, a publisher of directories devoted to the luxury and exotic car rental businesses. "Gotham's high standards of service are representative of the best players in the exotic car market and contribute to building credibility for the industry as a whole," continued Lyman.
Sturgeon estimates there are fewer than 25 companies that specialize in the rental of exotic cars in the United States and only ten have more than a dozen cars. Among the better-known rental agencies are
Gotham Dreamcars in New York City and Delray Beach, Florida;
DFW Elite Auto Rental.com in Dallas, TX;
Rent-A-Vette in Las Vegas, Nevada; and
Club Ferdinand in Valle Crucis, North Carolina and
Capital Dream Cars in Washington, D.C.
"If Gotham's growth is any indication, the exotic car rental segment is growing much faster than other more mature segments of the auto rental business," says ECRA President Ron Sturgeon.
"The Internet has made it much easier for car enthusiasts to locate
rental agencies specializing in exotics," says DFW Elite Auto Rental.com General Manager Tom Warren. "Online directories such as
http://www.rentexoticcars.net can make it much easier for car enthusiasts to rent a Ferrari or a Lamborghini Gallardo in cities across the United States," says the Fort Worth-based luxury car rental executive. "A substantial number of inquiries for our fleet of 27 luxury and exotic cars at DFW Elite Auto Rental come from the Internet," said Warren.
The Exotic Car Rental Association (ECRA) is the industry association of the exotic car rental industry. It has promoted a set of standards for the exotic car rental industry and provides guidance to consumers seeking reputable exotic car rental firms. Learn more about the ECRA by visiting
