    Default Renting Nice Cars?

    I'm trying to rent two nice cars for a day but can't find any place in town that rents nice cars (300c, H2, Etc). Other than the usual places like Budget or National, anyone know any places that rent cars?

    I know Budget rents 300's, but they don't seem to have any left?

    Enterprise has a few volvos, they are a helluvalot nicer than any 300c or H2.

    What do you need them for?

    why don't you rent a limo or two then?

    H2's and 300c's are ugly ugly cars, and their flawed nature would ruin a wonderful thing such as a union of loving souls.

    English: H2 XOR 300c + wedding == teh sux.

    I looked into limo's, but they are rather expensive. Might still go that route, but I'd like options.

    I remember The Driving Force in the NE used to rent out Mercedes E320, BMW 530's, and Audi A6's.

    Something like $86 a day with a minimum 3 day rental if I remember correctly.

    yeah maybe a volvo is a better choice for a wedding if a couple 90 yr olds are renewing their vows ...

    Well congrats on the wedding. I had the same problem for my own wedding last month. Most rental places won't guarantee you a car. I ended up get a 300C (Hemi powered) from Avis. You need to contact the actual rental place and talk with the manager. Explain you situation and offer to leave a deposit. Don't go through the 1-800 numbers. Hope this helps.

    I'm not sure what your budget is but a couple of years ago friends of ours rented a small wedding bus and it was amazing. Incredibly gorgeous inside and so nice to keep the whole wedding party together moving around between venues / pictures / etc. Everyone chipped in plus they got the 25% discount so it ended up being not too expensive. Here is the link from where they got although if money is not an object I think the hummer limo would be pretty cool

    Hummer's are available at Budget in Edmonton...They aren't in Calgary?


    As well, at our Dollar Car Rental place they offer 350Z's and such. Do they have Dollar Car in Calgary?
