Vancouver Exotic or supercar rentals?

Hey RS!

I'm having one helluva time finding a company that rents even a Porsche in Vancouver. The Vancouver Car Club is no longer doing rentals and every listing I've found on Google and via this forum is dead dead dead.

Anyone know of anything locally? Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, Maserati...something, anything.

lol.. from that Vancouver Dream car site:
Quote:
45 minutes in R8: $275
I'm 99% sure that site is just some guy renting out his personal car...

The testimonials definitely seem legit though

I rented the R8 for 2 days last summer for my wedding. Craziest wedding ever! When we drove the car around downtown everyone was looking at us. It’s not everyday you get married while feeling like a celebrity! Will be back for sure!
A wedding is hours and hours long so @ $275 per 45 min....

They must have had their honeymoon in the car, too

I am honestly shocked that guys like hertz and avis don't offer their nicer cars here in Canada.
Hertz now has the dream collection which includes 911,cayenne,r8,sl500, Noetc and they they are all available at bigger airports like SFO, LAX etc.
Vancouver has the tourist traffic and money to support it, I would think.

i went to their website and they still have a present link on rentals:

Rentals: Exotic & Luxury Car Rentals. Vancouver Car Club is a new hybrid of Fractional Ownership of Exotic & Luxury Cars with a rental side.

And there's not too many places that rent exotics in Vancouver. There's a issue with insurance coverage which is why you don't see a decent exotic car rental in BC.

"The R8 is absolutely my favourite car model. I had the best time having this luxury car to myself for a whole day with Vancouver Dream Cars – they accommodated all my needs and handed me the keys to shiny & clean car for a whole day to enjoy and for a great price. I would definitely recommend these guys.
