In June, Beverly Hills Rent-A-Car merged with Gotham Dream Cars. Together, both luxury car rental companies offer vehicles at 12 U.S. locations, including New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami and Phoenix.

“The alliance with Elite not only extends our reach into the European market, it will create a significant level of European sourced rental business for both our Beverly Hills Rent-A-Car and Gotham Dream Cars brands in the United States,” said Laurie Linkiewicz, director of operations at Beverly Hills Rent-A-Car. “Elite is known for its exceptional service and uncompromising driving experiences. We are thrilled with this new alliance and are excited to have the opportunity to expand the range of our exotic car driving services with Elite.”

Founded in 1986, Elite Rent-a-Car offers exotic and luxury car rentals at 16 locations across Europe, including Switzerland, Italy, France, Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic.

“We are delighted with our new alliance with Beverly Hills Rent-A-Car and Gotham Dream Cars,” said Graziella Zanoletti, founder of Elite Rent-a-Car. “The three brands are really quite similar, with a common dedication to exceptional client service. Creating the first international exotic and luxury rental car and transportation company is truly exciting. We are very pleased to have the platform to offer our clientele with unparalleled luxury and exotic car rental and transportation services in the United States.”
