Here's what I have done in the past...
Picked a kid up at a local grocery parking lot.
Drove him to his girlfriend's house.
He called her, she came out, he asked her to prom.
They took some pics in and around the car.
I took her for a brief drive.
Returned him to his car.
I wouldn't expect more than that.
While the DeLorean isn't "exotic" like a Ferrari or Lambo, it and many of it's parts are rare - It is an orphan brand. That being said average price to rent one of the aforementioned cars is upwards of $3000 a day for the first 100 or so miles and then $4-$5 a mile on top. Not to mention the $7000-$8000 deposit required. And this is from a company that carries the right insurance to loan out a car. Most insurance companies list DeLorean as a brand specifically not to insure for such services.
My guess, if you could find one from a rental agency you could be looking at a $3000 deposit and probably around $1500 for the day.
If you're willing to ride shotgun and let the owner drive your new fiance (fingers crossed) around after, you might even get it for free. I didn't charge the high school kid...

I would drive up to San Francisco for 4,500 bucks to do this gig if it meant that kind of money. But In all reality, yeah, I would be the one driving it. Its just too much of a risk to not be. And its not even the driver half the time, its all the other crazies on the road trying to drive and take photos of my car.
I Could do this gig for you in a time machine or regular stock but it would not be cheap. SF area is a 2 day trip.
I'm always the only driver, as I'm sure most people would say the same thing. Buying my car is also an option :)

Ha! Not even Dolph! He sat there and turned the wheel : )
He had the hardest time getting into that car. Dude is tall.
On the actual BTTF race to the scene episode with my car i did let a fully insured stunt driver take the helm. Tv companies usually have no problem getting the 1 million dollar insurance policy for the day.

So I wonder what happened?? Did the OP rent a Delorean and propose?
I would have drove the OP for free if it wasn't too long on 10/21. Call it "giving back" and if they were only an hour or two. Maybe I am sentimental for that stuff.
On another note. I don't think ANY owner would let you drive their car. Nobody drives mine, not even the gf. Not even a hottie news anchor that I let sit in it BUT I'll take you for a spin. :)
