I just rented a Cayenne S from a place here in Calgary, while my X5 was in the shop. I'm not sure if there's any other places like that here, but I can PM you their contact info. As for vehicles, their inventory pretty much goes along with the seasons i.e. they're are pretty much only renting out higher-end SUV's, and fairly normal cars like Acura TL Type-S, and Audi A4's. When the weather starts to get warmer they'll be renting out the NICE cars:thumbsup:

As far as I know ZR AUTO is the only place in calgary that will rent anything really good, and it is a huge rip off as someone previously stated. In the states it's cheaper to rent exotics.

If your just looking for half an hour of kicks, go test drive a porsche, they let you out by yourself for free.

A Ferrari for a day is like $2500 (or more) + $2/km which ads up FAST.

For $2500, I'll be driving this thing for the entire day... But then the $2/km kills you. :thumbsdow

No shit, you would probably want to drive that thing for 24 hours straight, which would break it down to like 104$ an hour not including gas, tax, or km's! :eek: Might be cheaper to hire a hooker instead, to get your thrills.

I think a "day" is 8 or 12 hours at most places. It is not reasonable in the least.

Yea, I figured, but I'm just sayin... for that kinda cash you might think that it was 24 hours. ;)

Calgary doesnt have a good high end rental place. But thats because insurance for those type of places is crazy expensive. If you want to rent an exotic, and I know this thread is about Calgary. Make a weekend out of it and go to Las Vegas.

For a 996 convertible its $389 for 24 hours + 75 miles. 50 cents per mile after that. Its not cheap, but its fun. You can rent a Ferrari 360 Modena Spider, Lamborghini Gallardo coupe...ect.

what about executive car rentals? last time i checked they had sl500's for $500/day. (plus insurance i'm guessing... don't know how much it is though).

i was thinking of renting one for a wedding (for bride+groom). any reviews on this place?

For something like this, is it the same as here that you have to be over 25 years old to rent or over 21?

What do I need to rent?
All renters must be at least 21 years old. Some of our higher end cars you will need to be at least 25 years old. Most cars you will need a credit card, which is used as your deposit. You will need to show us a valid driver's license with photograph when you come to pick up your car. Some cars have a surcharge for renters under 25 years old.
