Exotic Car rental Vancouver
 
Anyone have an idea where I can rent a luxury sedan in Vancouver? This is for a wedding.
I've tried google'ing and have come up with a few businesses, But I am wondering if there are any other companies I would have missed.

Things I have in mind

Bentley Continental flying Spur
Rolls Royce Phantom
Maseratti Quadroporte
Porsche Panerama

If you have any other suggestions for vehicles please advise.
Keep in mind, This is for a wedding so no loud obnoxious super cars (not my decesion)

I heard there is a guy renting a matte black r8

You could probably go directly to the dealerships here in Vancouver to inquire.

Panamera/Quattroporte remind me of Jeremy clarkson's black tape pants

Vancouver Car Rentals - Prestige Luxury Car Rentals

This company has the maserati but it looks awfully boy racer with the black wheels

Empire one (featured a while back with the spyker) has a bentley but I don't think they do rentals without membership

I'm assuming its for the bride and groom, right? If so, keep it classy. Rolls or Bentley. In that order.

Have you thought about a S65/S63 or a 7 series, which isn't as flashy as the mentioned vehicles, but they do still have a nice presence and MIGHT be easier to get a hold of a rental.

My sister had a Rolls Royce with a driver for her wedding. I don't think the same company would rent out though.... so much easier just to get them to drive you.

Anjew 01-09-2012 12:30 AM

ya you dont want to be responsible for that rolls either

Mr.C 01-09-2012 07:55 PM

For a wedding, S-Class or Rolls Royce. You want to make it easy for the bride to exit the car.

Certainly not Panamera or Rapide (both of those have horrible backseat access). Quatrroporte might break on the way :p But seriously, backseat access isn't as good.

The Budget Car Rentals at YVR has a Bentley.

SR Auto rents out a white Escalade, black Escalade, beige hummer, black Maserati Quattroporte and a Mercedes Benz S class from what I understand. You should call in to see whether or not its booked first. I have no idea in terms of the prices.

Also check out VSCC- although I'm not sure if you have to be a member in order to rent from them.

speaking of r8s i saw a black 1 today unfortunately it wasn't matte black

If you are getting no where.. talk to the dentist in Pinetree village.. he moonlight as a DJ and has an old school Rolls for weddings.

The Audi being rented is also the same car seen here, http://www.revscene.net/forums/658440-audi-r8-v10.html.

That would make it appear it is a personal vehicle being rented out for additional income, not one owned for business purposes. It seems a bit odd.

The testimonials on the companies website are also a bit suspicious.

Unless someone who is clearly independent of the company, like a fellow RS'er, gives a positive review I would not feel comfortable authorizing a $5k damage deposit to rent the Audi.

Company seems real professional., This is on there face book.

Tyga - Rack City Parody [Cat City] - YouTube!

Have a feeling the car will be in the ditch soon.

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!

Hmmm wasnt the company just founded and created a couple weeks ago? Also the R8 V10 was video'd by that guy in November of last year.

Bit weird that this guy rented the R8 last summer......

I rather rent from Matt Zhang et. friends...than from this company.

The list of exotics he could get his hands onto is a lot more extensive than just two white R8 / Lambo....

Ive been looking to rent something fun for awhile, I emailed them for pricing and got a response tonight:

Quote:

Our daily rate for the R8 is $1499 for 24 hours. We have a "test drive" option which allows drivers to experience 30 minutes in each car (R8 and Lamborghini Gallardo) for $500 (bring a friend and it's $400 each) or 45 minutes in the R8 for $300 (bring a friend and it's $250 each)
Seems a bit pricey, $1000ish would be more reasonable imo.

pb.kidz 02-27-2012 07:34 PM

They're legit, i know the owners.and I shot both those videos

truong 02-29-2012 08:38 AM

Thanks for the input guys, but no luck yet

turbosonoma 08-26-2012 09:57 AM

there is two (04+) phantom sedans for hire/renting around surrey, not sure the company they run under though....

too_slow 08-27-2012 12:31 PM

^Are you sure they're not Chrysler 300's? LOL
