Question Where Can I Rent An Rx-8 ?

Just curious to know if that is even possible...

I would like to drive up to MAZDASUMMERPALOOSA in one...

They drive nice and the seats are comfortable... I have RX-8 seats in my RX-7 Convertible... wouldnt change them for anything.. man, these seats are super comfortable.


If anyone knows... I would appreciate the info.

Thanks

Chances are you will not find one. It would have to be an Auto because most people can’t drive a stick and the car rental company would lose customers only having a 6-speed on the lot. It would be more cost effective for them to offer an A/T Mustang GT. I can also see problems with employees have to explain the anti-flooding info to people. Your best bet to find one would be to contact the fleet manager of the local Mazda dealerships and ask them if they sold any RX-8’s to car rental companies.

Preacher....back in the days you were able to walk in to a dealership and rent a demo for the weekend. The way it worked was..you tell them you are interested in buying one and you want to demo it for the weekend. I would call first, then take your insurance and paper work. I never had to put a down payment. I would just leave whatever car I had at the time as "trade in" in their lot. I never bought a car I took. lol

Did anyone ever find a car rental business that has an RX-8 in their fleet?

I'm specifically looking for a rental in or around San Diego, California. Any leads are appreciated.

I know I could always make do with a Mustang from Hertz; but I'd be a lot happier with an RX-8 (even if it's an AT), and having mine (2004 MT Touring) trucked out and back is definitely not in the budget.

The guy you replied to was last on here 3.5 YEARS ago.


And in Florida, not Singapore.

And the event was over 3 years ago.
