Slingshot Rental Services

Requirements / Age Limit

Driving the Polaris Slingshot is way more fun than you’re going to believe. However, drivers must be over the age of 21 with clean driving records (no major moving violations, DUI convictions, or similar infractions). Unfortunately, on our Polaris Slingshot, we cannot rent any vehicles to drivers under the age of 21.

All renters must be physically present at the start of the rental. Unfortunately, we do not allow 3rd parties to pick up vehicles and our employees must physically hand the keys over to the person who will be driving.

To rent the Polaris Slingshot, drivers must know how to drive a manual transmission. You can also check our article with the explanation of the 5 requirements to drive a Polaris Slingshot.

All renters must carry some form of insurance to cover damages to the vehicle in the event of an accident. You’ve got several options:

The easiest option is for you to purchase our insurance at an additional daily charge.

Vehicles are available to international visitors with a valid passport and driver’s license from their home country. We can arrange for insurance coverage for those international visitors renting for a minimum of two days. Please note that international renters who do not have their own insurance coverage will be subject to a higher security deposit ($5k – $15k, depending on vehicle).

We will work with you on 2 day or 48 hour rentals as far as exact return time, but after we have determined your return appointment, you will be held accountable for that time. There will be a 1-hour grace period with your scheduled return time, after which you may be subject to additional daily rental fees.

All renters must leave a damage deposit in the form of a credit card authorization, cashier’s check, or cash. Any damage found on the vehicle upon return will be billed against this deposit. The amount of this deposit will vary depending on the vehicle being rented and your type of insurance, but typically varies between $500 – $1,000

This deposit is fully refundable following the completion of the rental. If you are using an American Express card for the deposit, it is run as an “authorization only” (no actual charge). If you are using a Visa, Mastercard or Discover card, this deposit is run as a charge which is then reversed following the completion of the rental.

When you make a reservation, we will charge your credit card immediately for the full rental Slingshot cost

Because we have a limited supply of vehicles to offer, we pack the schedule very tightly. We offer a 24-hour grace period AFTER you make your reservation to cancel, after that period, we can only offer you a gift card towards a future rental or reschedule you to a different day.

If you cancel or reschedule less than 7 days before your rental (or are a no-show at the time of rental), you will be charged a cancellation fee of 100% of the total rental Slingshot cost.

Please understand that there are NO exceptions to this cancellation policy.

Unfortunately, we cannot control the weather. As per the cancellation policy above, we cannot offer refunds or rescheduling if the skies decide not to play nice.

However, if there is a weather condition on a particular day that might make driving dangerous (i.e. snow, ice, hurricane, tornado, alien attack, etc.) and you do not actually use your vehicle on that day, we may (at our discretion) offer you an extension on your rental or credit on a future rental.

For example, if you rent a car Fri – Sun, it snows on Sun, and the car remains parked in your garage, you may be able to extend your rental through Monday for no additional charge. If you’ve got a question about this policy, just give us a call and we’ll work with you.

An E-Passor SunPass (in Florida) is included in each vehicle, so you can zip through tolls and focus on driving (and having fun!) without worrying about fumbling for change. If you rent from our Dallas location toll passes WILL NOT be included and you will be charged for any toll fees

All vehicles will come with a full tank of gas, and you must bring it back the same way.

When you do gas up, all vehicles must be refueled with Premium grade (93+ octane) gasoline. There is a $75 fee for filling up with a lesser grade. And yes, we’ll know.

We do not offer refunds for vehicle rentals or gift certificates. However, our goal is total satisfaction for our renters, so in certain situations we may offer credit for additional rental days (i.e. weather, see above). This is solely at our discretion.

In the event of an unforeseen mechanical failure during or prior to a rental, we will make every effort to repair or replace your vehicle with a similar or better model at no additional cost to you.

Vehicles rented from our Daytona Beach office may not be driven outside the state of Florida without prior written approval. 

Our Dream rental vehicles may not be used:

We don’t allow these uses or offer options as off-road rentals because we care a lot about your safety. When you drive a Polaris Slingshot, you’ll want to be the safest possible. Check our article on “Is the Polaris Slingshot dangerous?“

The renter is responsible for all parking, traffic, speeding or other tickets or violations issued while the vehicle is being rented and must pay for any fees, penalties, towing charges, or impound costs.

All our rentals come with unlimited miles, just as long as you stay within 3 hours from Daytona 

All our vehicles are equipped with Tracking devices. If any of the tracking devices are tampered with, the vehicle will be recovered and you will forfeit any money paid including the entire deposit.

Great experience. I believe it was AJ that took care of us. He’s  a super nice guy just took his time to talk with us and answer any questions. I’m kind of a car guy so when we were done I was just asking him about horsepower and we took a look at the motor and all that. I’d say definitely if you’re giving it any kind of thought for sure come here.
