Florida’s New Super Speeder Law: What It Means for Exotic Car Rentals

Florida’s New Super Speeder Law: What It Means for Exotic Car Rentals

Published by ExoticsByTheBay | Tampa, Florida

Starting July 2025, Florida has implemented a new “Super Speeder” law — and if you’re planning to rent a high-performance vehicle like a Lamborghini, Ferrari, or McLaren, this is something you must be aware of.

🚨 What Is the Florida Super Speeder Law?

Under the new Florida statute, any driver caught going over 100 mph on public roads can now be immediately arrested, rather than simply ticketed. This law is part of the state’s growing effort to crack down on reckless and high-speed driving, especially following a rise in fatal accidents involving excessive speed.

Violators can face:

  • Immediate arrest

  • Vehicle impoundment

  • Mandatory court appearance

  • License suspension

  • Fines up to $2,500 or more

  • Jail time for repeat offenders

🏎 How This Affects Our Exotic Car Rentals

At ExoticsByTheBay, we’re known for offering top-tier luxury and exotic vehicles such as the Lamborghini Huracán, McLaren 720S, Ferrari California, and more. These machines are built for performance — but that doesn’t mean Florida’s roads are racetracks.

Effective immediately, our rental policy now includes a strict clause:

Any renter caught driving over 100 mph will forfeit their entire security deposit, and may be liable for additional fees if the car is impounded.

Why? Because if your vehicle is seized or damaged during an arrest:

  • The car is held by police or towed to a third-party lot

  • We incur loss of rental income during impoundment

  • There's risk of damage during towing or holding

  • Our brand reputation is jeopardized

Our vehicles are insured and GPS-tracked — we know how fast you’re driving, and authorities now have reason to stop and arrest anyone clocked at 100+ mph.

📉 Risk vs Reward: Don’t Let Speed Ruin Your Experience

We get it — driving an exotic car is thrilling. The sound of the engine, the acceleration, the feel of luxury and speed — it’s all part of the experience.

But remember: enjoying your dream ride responsibly is the only way to truly experience it.

The best places to enjoy acceleration? Closed circuits, track days, or safe, open roads — within posted limits. Tampa Bay has scenic drives like Bayshore Boulevard, the Howard Frankland Bridge, and Clearwater Memorial Causeway — but they’re not for racing.

✅ Our Updated Rental Policy in Summary

  • We reserve the right to retain your deposit if you're caught going over 100 mph.

  • All renters must sign an acknowledgment of the Super Speeder law.

  • We use GPS and speed monitoring systems on all vehicles.

  • If your vehicle is impounded, you may also be responsible for retrieval costs and downtime loss.

🔒 Why We’re Doing This

We care about your safety, our fleet’s integrity, and the safety of everyone on the road. This isn’t about punishment — it’s about ensuring every customer enjoys their rental responsibly and without legal trouble.

Our vehicles are engineered for performance — but your responsibility behind the wheel matters more than ever.

🏁 Final Thoughts

Florida's Super Speeder law isn’t just a warning — it’s real, it’s active, and it comes with serious consequences. So if you're planning to rent an exotic car in Tampa, remember: thrill responsibly.

Drive it like a Lamborghini. But don’t drive it like you’re in Fast & Furious.
