Planning a trip to the Hamptons and desiring a high-end car at the very last minute, I contacted…read moreRob at Gotham who said he had a 2019 White Huracan Spyder that was in the shop but would be ready by my desired pick-up date. I agreed and submitted my deposit.
The car ran great and really added to my overall trip and experience! The only issues were that there were a couple of lights that kept coming on: low coolant level, and service soon, and a minor issue with the convertible that I was able to resolve myself. The warnings, however, were false as the car never overheated, and the service soon one that I've seen in my car following service, I suspect was likely due to it not being reset after service was complete.
Aside from my awesome experience with the car, I am giving 5 stars for the following reasons. Rob was able to secure me a high demand car at the very last minute when normally, at least from my experience, these cars must be reserved weeks in advance. Aside from the false warnings, the car ran great and in no way did it negatively impact my experience. The person reviewing the contract and setting me up, Cosmo, was very cool and down-to-earth and was very hospitable in offering me a drink and letting me use the 'higher-end' bathroom when I had to go. His dog was also very cool and friendly too! Also, when I first noticed the lights and took the car back, I could tell he cared and was sincere in his concern. He told me I did the right thing by coming right back and not taking a risk with the car and my safety. He had another person take it for a test drive to confirm it was a false warning, and to be safe, they opened up the rear cover, undid the screws for the coolant, and topped it off. Upon having the issue with the top not going down, I left a message for Rob and he called me right back and was going to contact service to get more info, just before I was able to give the rear cover a little 'nudge' that was enough for the automated top-down process to complete. Ditto for putting the top up. Finally, when I returned the car, John took $1 off the mile overage rate that saved me over $100.
My only recommendation, which Rob already stated he will be doing, is to follow up with the service department on the issues encountered and ensure they are more thorough before releasing the car. Again, bear in mind, I was able to get that car (2019 White Huracan Spyder) within 2 days of my desired rental date, and they were able to make it happen with only some minor issues.
I will finish off by saying thank you to Rob, John, Cosmo and the team for making it happen, for treating me like family, for being attentive of and concerned about the issues even though they were minor, and for renting me an awesome car that made my trip to the Hamptons an exhilarating and memorable one.
