Two products, two sets of rules.
Rentals carry a license, insurance, a deposit, a mileage allowance, and a minimum age. Sessions carry none of those, because the car stays parked. Both sets are below; if the answer you need is not here, the form at the foot of the page reaches a person.
Renting an exotic car in Atlanta
The full booking guide, deposits, and pricing bands are on the rentals page.
Who owns the cars?
Raven Exotics sells the booking and handles the contract, the deposit, and your questions. The car is owned by a partner, and the owner or their driver does the physical delivery and return. You deal with one person the whole time; that person is us.
Do you deliver?
Yes. Delivery and collection inside the Atlanta service area are part of the booking. Tell us the address and the window. Outside the service area is quoted case by case.
What do I need to rent?
A valid driver license in your name, proof of personal auto insurance or a supplemental policy arranged through us, and a card in your name for the refundable deposit. Minimum age is [PLACEHOLDER].
How old do I have to be to rent?
The minimum renter age is set by the insurance on each car and is stated on your quote: [PLACEHOLDER]. If you are under it, a photo session with the same car has no age requirement at all.
Do I need my own insurance?
You need either a personal auto policy that extends full coverage to rentals, or a supplemental policy arranged through us for the dates. We tell you which applies when we quote. Send your insurance card with the inquiry and the quote comes back firm instead of estimated.
How much is the deposit?
It depends on the car and is stated on your quote before you pay anything. It is held, not charged, and released after the car is returned and checked.
Is there a mileage limit?
Yes, and it is written on your quote. If you know you will drive a lot, say so when you inquire and we will price it in rather than surprise you at return.
Where do you deliver?
Atlanta, Buckhead, Midtown, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, and Decatur are inside the delivery zone, and Hartsfield-Jackson counts as inside it. Further out is quoted by distance. If you are flying in, send the flight number and the car meets the arrival.
Do longer rentals cost less per day?
Yes. The card on every car applies the discount automatically: 5 percent off the daily rate at two days, 10 at three, 20 at five, 30 at a week, and up to 50 at four weeks. The mileage allowance grows with the length.
Can I rent for a photo or video shoot instead of driving it?
If you want to drive it, that is a rental. If you want the car parked with a photographer included and no license or deposit, that is a photo session and it is priced by the half hour or hour. For film and production use, see the picture car page.
Being photographed with one
How a session day runs and what the tiers cost are on the sessions page.
Do I drive the car during a session?
No. The car is parked and stays parked. That is why there is no license, deposit, insurance, or age requirement.
Is a photographer included?
Yes. Every session includes a photographer and edited delivery. You can bring your own as well, but the included one is part of the price either way.
How long is a session?
30 or 60 minutes. Thirty is enough for one look and a few setups. Sixty gives you time for an outfit change and a wider set of angles.
What does it cost?
Base rate is $395 per hour. Golden hour slots are tiered higher; that price is coming and will be shown on the booking page for each session day before you can book it.
When and where do sessions happen?
Sessions run on batched days: one car, one location, a block of hours. Upcoming days are listed on the booking page. Location is confirmed to booked guests before the day.
Can I book a private session on a different day?
Sometimes. It depends on the car schedule. Ask through the inquiry form and include your date.
Is there an age minimum for a session?
No. Nobody drives, so the insurance rules that set rental ages do not apply. Prom, homecoming, graduation, and sixteenth birthdays all work. Anyone under 18 has a parent or guardian sign the booking agreement and the liability waiver before the session. They are welcome on the day and do not have to attend.
What should I bring?
Your outfit, a second one if you booked sixty minutes, and anyone you want in the frame. Shoes that can stand on pavement. Leave props that could scratch paint in the car you arrived in. The photographer brings everything else.
How many people can be in the session?
Small groups work in either slot length. Tell us the headcount when you book so the slot fits; a group of six in thirty minutes gets one look each, and sixty minutes gets everyone a solo set as well.
Can I use the photos commercially?
The images are yours for personal and social use, no watermark. Use in paid advertising, or to sell a product or service, is quoted separately so the rate matches the use.
Does Raven use my photos?
Yes. Booking a session includes Raven's right to use the images from it online, on this site and on social, which is how the next session day gets seen. If you would rather your images stay private, an opt-out is available for a fee stated at booking.
What happens if it rains?
If rain or a storm kills the light or the location, you choose: a full refund, or your slot moved to the next scheduled session day at no charge. The next scheduled day can be a few weeks out, which is why the refund is on the table. Overcast is fine; we shoot through it.
