Indeed, these two brands are the most heavily represented in Caballero\u2019s stable, with the latter counting as an official symbol of Miami\u2019s high life.<br \/>\nThough Caballero acknowledges that some of his clients come from the elite worlds of movies and music, sports and politics, he has to be discreet: \u201cI can talk about some friends, like artist Alec Monopoly and the actor Gerard Butler, who have been clients. And we\u2019ve had all kinds of athletes, including NBA players.\u201d And sometimes, the vehicles themselves rank as the stars: \u201cWe\u2019ve had Nike contact us for commercials,\u201d he says. So has J. Bauman, the beauty salon chain. \u201cWe get calls for commercials and music videos around once a month, higher in season.\u201d<br \/>\nBut his best clients are Miami\u2019s visitors, celebrants and car enthusiasts. \u201cWe have a lot of international clients and birthday clients,\u201d Caballero reveals. \u201cWhen people have a\u00a0birthday, usually the color they want is pretty out there.\u201d Meanwhile, his car enthusiast clients want to test out different models and explore their options: \u201cThey own a Ferrari or Lamborghini but they want to see what the other brand has to offer. So they\u2019ll try out a car for a day or two to experience the technology and the behavior of the car and how it compares to their own supercar.\u201d<br \/>\nExotic Rentals will deliver a vehicle right to Acqualina. \u201cWe give them a quick Driving 101 of the car, help them connect their Bluetooth for their music, set up their navigation, plus we have 24-hour service, and we\u2019ll explain the step-by-step process,\u201d Caballero says.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re ready to take the plunge and purchase your own luxury automobile, Braman Rolls-Royce Motorcars Miami is dedicated to providing the top-of-the-line service that these lavish vehicles warrant.
