My VIN: 4456 - Owner since March 2011
Club(s): (PNDC)
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...

IT'S A TRAP!!!!!
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.
Living The Dream Since 2005 - VIN#3997
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.
. Sure no problem Mark.

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.

No offense, just being real.
