FAQ

The Delorean you see on this site is owned/operated by Andy Strano, owner of RentDelorean.com. He does many events in and around Minnesota. However, he also has a broad network of Delorean owners (both Time Machine and Stock) around the country that he strives to connect client and owner for events ranging from birthday parties, weddings, photo shoots, music videos, ride alongs (in some cases) as well as corporate events such as conventions and non-profit events. EACH event is unique as well as EACH Delorean owner is different, but all have an understanding and experience in the event business. Please do not be afraid to ask us questions in regards to exactly what you are looking for in a rental experience.

RentDelorean.com does staging type events and not really set up like Enterprise. com where you get the keys to a Time Machine and can screw up the Time Line as much as you want. Due to insurance liabilities, renters do not have the ability to drive the DeLorean.

The Delorean Owner at RentDelorean.com will handle cost. Every owner charges slightly different costs and therefore we do not post exact pricing. Generally speaking, the Delorean Owner (unless using the Rent Delorean car located in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota) and you will negotiate a fair price that will include travel expenses and you’ll pay him directly.

Again, some Delorean Owners will pick up a Groom (for a wedding for example) and take them to the wedding. But, generally speaking, we specialize in staging events. But, simply ask the Delorean Owner about these details when they reach out to you.

Once you submit your zip code and request for more information on getting a Delorean to your event, the nearest Delorean Owner will be copied on the reply email sent to you. From there, you’ll see how close he is to you. We have over 60+ Delorean Owners Nationwide (and some parts of the world) that have signed up with RentDelorean.com. Be sure to watch your spam box too for some responses are missed because of this.

No. Most of them are, but some are not. Depending upon the request, Stock and Time Machines can be sent your way.

One, plus the Driver.

Any further questions, please fill out a request with your question and you’ll be contacted by email almost immediately!

Yes. But with each event being so different than the last, we’d rather talk to you directly and find out what sort of budget you may have.

Appearances are secured with a 50% deposit and signed contract.

RentDelorean.com Events

Deposits generally ‘seal the deal’ for Delorean owners and clients as commitments from both parties. We’ve had to learn the hard way when a deposit was never taken and a Delorean owner showed up to the event and the client never communicated that the event was canceled. This protects our Delorean Owners. The Deposits are generally 10% of the final agreed bill and are non-refundable, unless otherwise specified. 

We look at the zip code you entered, find the closest DeLorean owner to you, and copy them onto the reply. That owner then contacts you directly to talk through the details and what it will cost. You are dealing with the person who owns the car, not a call centre.

Birthdays, weddings, photo shoots, corporate events — comic conventions and business celebrations especially — parades, school events, film and music video shoots, and 80s parties. If you are not sure whether yours fits, ask. The odder requests are usually the best ones.

Sometimes, yes. Ride-alongs depend on the owner, the venue and the kind of event, so they are not guaranteed — raise it when the owner gets in touch and they will tell you straight. This is different from driving it yourself, which is not something we offer.

Andy keeps a large Back to the Future collection in Minnesota that has been opened for public showings since 2022, including winter tours. Mention it when you enquire and we will let you know what is possible around your dates.
