Hi there, I have a family member's wedding coming up soon, and I have tried looking around a few places but dont know where to go exactly to rent luxury sedans. I.e I would be looking for something like a bmw 5 series or a lexus es sedan or w/e. Does anyone know of a few places that would rent these sort of vehicles? Thanks

Hertz at the Calgary Airport has Volvo's and Audi's.

Not really high end luxury but some of the better vehicles out there.

Lincoln town cars are great for weddings. Big, roomy and squishy ride.

IMO rent a Lincoln town car.
they're really comfortable and will probably be cheaper.

I just rented one for a friend's wedding this past weekend at National. It was a Lincoln MK-S AWD.

It had superb ride quality and tons of interior room.

It was under $100/day including gas.

^ Ouch. :rofl:

But yeah Lincoln town cars are great for this occasion.
especially the "Executive L" version, which is an extra 6" longer for the rear passengers. Those are used as the "executive limos" for two or so passengers.

I'm pretty sure you can rent a white one from Woodridge Ford & Lincoln.

Please tell me you didn't just put a chrysler 300 in the same category as a bmw 5 series and a lexus:facepalm:
And if you are talking about a chrysler 300 i'm pretty sure you can get those anywhere

300C is classified a luxury vehicle at car rental companies.

I don't see why you can't compare it with a 5 series or a Lexus ES/GS. Options, horsepower, price point, target market are all comparable.

options and horsepower might be the same but price point and target market aren't even close unless you're talking about a fully loaded srt version. If for a second you think a 300 is comparable to a 5 series than you sir are out to lunch. Good luck finding a 5 series for the price of a 300 that are the same year. You could buy 2 or 3 300's for the price of a 5. I got nothing against 300's, i just dont think they're in the same class as a 5 series or even a lexus.

Yes, the SRT8 was the one I was talking about. National put it in the same class as the Lincoln MK-S and the rental costs were the same.

Entry level 5 series, entry level GS, and fully loaded 300C are all comparable in price. However to match the SRT8 in power you have to pay twice as much for the 5-series.

You're gonna get diferent answers from alot of different people. Forget 300's, lincoln's, BMW's and Lexus.

Take my 1998 Camry V6 CE for $25 bucks/day

you're not even comparing apples to apples. You can't compare an entry level car to a fully loaded one pricewise. Sorry for the thread jack op. Hope you found a nice ride for the day.

Back on topic!

Lincoln sedan rentals perhaps the best bet...

The driving force used to rent a Lincoln SUV and a Mercedes car but I'm not sure the class
