Where can I rent one in Los Angeles or SoCal?

I've been contacting a few of the large rental companies with no success. Does anyone know where I can rent an RX8 in Los Angeles or SoCal.

I wish rental companies would allow finding locations by vehicle search.

I've never seen an RX-8 rental car in SoCal. Enterprise won't carry it, National certainly won't have them either.

This was asked a while back. I can't remember the thread. But unless you go to an exotic rental company you will be out of luck renting anything thats not a economy car or automatic.

Enterprise in CUlver CIty used to have one years ago, but someone crashed it. They've never carried it since.

Hertz carries 350Zs so I assume they'll eventually carry the 370Z.

Mazda doesn't make enough RX-8s for fleet usage.

There are a couple of specialty rental car places but they'll charge you up the bung hole.

Why do you want to rent an RX-8? Why don't you rent a Hertz ZHZ Corvette? I did, it was a blast!

Well I think Mazda would be more than happy to make them if fleet purchasers ordered them.
