Why rent an exotic car in Downtown Chicago & the Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is where Chicago dresses up: Oak Street boutiques, Astor Street mansions and the lakefront a block away. A supercar here is less about speed and more about the arrival — pulling up on Rush Street for dinner, stopping traffic on Michigan Avenue or parking along the lake for photos with the John Hancock Center (875 North Michigan) overhead.

Nobody books a car like this simply to get from one place to another. It is for the moment itself: the pause at the curb, the door opening, the picture that ends up framed. In Downtown Chicago & the Gold Coast those moments are close at hand, and the car arrives spotless for them.

Drives worth taking

  • Lake Shore Drive north from Oak Street Beach toward Lincoln Park, best after dark when the skyline is lit.
  • A slow lap of the Magnificent Mile past the Water Tower and Tribune Tower.
  • Astor Street and the side streets of the Gold Coast Historic District for quiet, photogenic blocks.
  • Upper and Lower Wacker along the river for night shots under the bridges.

Keep to posted limits; the loveliest drives are the unhurried ones.

Where to arrive

  • Rush and Oak Street restaurants and lounges
  • Oak Street Beach and the lakefront path
  • The Drake and the hotels of East Walton and Michigan Avenue
  • Gallery and dinner nights in River North

Planning a day in Downtown Chicago & the Gold Coast

Write early for weekends: Saturdays from May to October are the busiest days of the year, and the Cullinan, the Huracán EVO Spyder and the G63s are reserved first. Choose by the people in the car: the Huracán, Corvette and AMG GT are for two, the Urus, G63, Maybach and Escalade for a small party. Many cars include 100 miles a day, plenty for Downtown Chicago & the Gold Coast and a drive downtown. And decide where you want the photograph before the day, so the car can be timed for it.

Making the most of Downtown Chicago & the Gold Coast

Begin with the moment that matters most, an arrival, a sunset, a reservation, and plan the day backwards from it. Leave a little time for the walk-around at the handover. If you are celebrating, let a chauffeur drive. Keep a soft cloth for a last touch before photographs, and park where it is well lit and legal.
