The Toyota Prius is the most popular hybrid in America, and it is also the most commonly available hybrid for rent. If you have never driven a hybrid before, the Prius is a great car to rent. It is fun and easy to drive and incorporates many features not only unique to hybrids, but to cars in general. However, the Prius is not the only hybrid available for renters. If you own a Prius or have driven one before, or have different demands from your rental, a different model hybrid may be just the thing for you.

The first place to look may be other hybrids made by Toyota. These include an SUV, the Highlander hybrid, and a more traditional sedan, the Camry hybrid. The Highlander hybrid is a roomy, crossover SUV. It features a comfortable, large, interior and optional third row seat. If you need more space, either for storage or passengers, than this hybrid is the way to go.
The Camry hybrid takes the number one most popular car of the last ten years and adds the fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness of a hybrid. As a full-size sedan, the Camry hybrid is a slightly more roomy alternative to the Prius, perfect for a family.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always wanted to drive one of those really extreme high-end sports cars. Lamborghini, Ferrari, Mazerati… the list goes on. I’ve never sat in one of these kinds of sports cars, let alone driven one - all that power transmitting itself from the tires all the way into the palms of my white-knuckled hands, seeing the looks of envy on the faces of everyone I pass by.

Oh What A Feeling

What a feeling that would be. I thought I’d never get to have that experience, but I found you I actually can! Turns out there are hundreds, possibly thousands, of exotic car dealerships all over the United States and all over the world. For a week, a day, or even just a few hours, that exotic, luxury sports car can be yours, along with the feelings of superiority that come with it! True, it will set you back more than the average compact car rental. But what an experience! Being behind the wheel of a sports car, a TRUE sports car that’s normally only seen on the race track, is something most people will never experience. The bragging rights alone are worth the price of admission!

OK I gotta Have One. Now What?

So where do you find the sports car rental of your dreams? You’ll have to look around to see who’s in your local area with sports cars to rent out (or the area you plan to be visiting if you’re thinking of doing a vacation sports car rental). Jump onto the internet and search for something like “sports car rental Your City” replacing “Your City” of course with… your city! Depending on what you want, you’ll find it quickly or not. If you just dream of a convertible Porsche for example, that’s probably not all that hard to find. But a Lamborghini Diablo might take a little more hunting. If you look around enough, you’ll eventually find that almost every model of exotic sports car in existence can be had for a price. Ferrari, Viper, Alfa Romeo, Mazerati… they’re all out there.

You Want HOW Much For That?

Now let’s be clear - this is a serious luxury, and it’s going to command a luxury premium price. You can expect to pay several times what you would pay for a “standard” rental car, though with these luxury sports cars they will often deliver them to you at your home, office, hotel, etc. When you pay this much - you get service! It’s not cheap, but then how many things that are really worthwhile, are cheap? Rent an exotic sports car, live a little. It’s your life - live it!
