Renting Exotic Cars...

IDreamofBimmers · 05-20-2010, 05:00 PM

Hello Gents!!!

So... it's looking like I might be leaving the country for good (possible job opp), so as a last hurrah... some friends and I wanted to rent nice cars and cruise down to Miami for a couple of days. I don't want anything super fancy... either a Covertte Convertable or a 911 Cab..

Any recommendations?
Anyone have ideas as to how much it will cost?
I've done some searches online, and it the costs seem ridiculous for 3 days (esp since you only have 100miles a day)..

Anyway... all the help/advice you have would be useful!

Are you against just heading down to Miami with your car and renting something nice while you're there?

IDreamofBimmers · 05-20-2010, 07:03 PM

The whole purpose was to drive down 95 and to enjoy the rental car

Raja Ventureshield · 05-20-2010, 07:25 PM

If it is the last hurrah. spend it well buddy. Are you selling the GTI?

IDreamofBimmers · 05-20-2010, 07:53 PM

Once I have an offer in hand... yep it will have to go!

Raja Ventureshield · 05-20-2010, 07:56 PM

pm me where you are going and Congrats. If you are taking the offer, i am assuming it's good and something you want to do.

IDreamofBimmers · 05-20-2010, 08:01 PM

No need for secrets...
I'll be going to Dubai for a year or two, and then to west Africa to get into aircraft sales/leasing. Pray for me everything goes well!

dude, go to a racing school. I understand the want to be able to drive it at your leisure but wouldn't you rather drive it at 150mph legally? You can do lapping events and stuff like that for A SHIT ton less than what it'd cost you to rent a car for a weekend. Use that extra money and party it up on the strip.

ouch ! overage will be painful.

"Each daily rental includes 100 miles per day, and each additional mile is charged at a rate of $2.95 per overage mile."

IDreamofBimmers · 05-22-2010, 05:37 PM

Yea... none of these options are cheap!
I will keep looking!!

bavarian19 · 05-23-2010, 03:18 PM

Most of the 'exotic' rentals limit your mileage.

ak335 · 05-23-2010, 08:45 PM

You could rent a Aston Martin Vantage for $1200 plus 1.00 per mile....
