There are a myriad of choices available to the average traveler when four-wheeled transportation is required. But to the discerning car connoisseur, the prospect of being trapped within a Caliber, Impala or other nondescript people mover is as unconscionable as choosing Denny's over Per Se.
Enter rentexoticcars.net, a website whose sole purpose is to provide the automotive world's most elite rides, for a price. Surprisingly, the cost of such exotica may be within reach to those of you who can afford the rental fees, insurance and have a sizeable chunk of change available on your credit card to cover the security deposit.
The website allows users to select their destination city and then lists what high end machines are available for rent. The choices span the range from Mini Cooper drop-tops to Hummer H2s to Ferrari 360 Spyders. Whatever the taste, they have the flavor.
The interface is easy to work, provides hours of day dreaming entertainment and, our favorite feature, has an RSS feed of anything dealing with supercars from yours truly, Autoblog.
Enjoy, but make it a point to keep you credit card out of reach, preferably in the next time zone.

There are a few companies which are very good at this Exotic rental stuff and a few which have very dubious business practices. Make sure you ask them what exactly is covered by your Security Deposit & What is covered by your Insuranse which they always force you to get.
The reason i say that is Once when I was in Vegas the Passenger door was dented on the 360 spyder i rented and when returned it, even though i had taken out insurance i still lost $3800 from my deposit and for all my inquiries into it, I was never given a Good Solid answer WHY.
So Go Enjoy
Just Beware

There's a similar service in Toronto too.

Its pretty expensive with a hefty deposit on some cars, but its a pretty cool service. I rented a G35 at florida once, cost me a cool 89 bucks (not including the age surcharge -- 25 bux/day)

Damon Lavrinc writes, "Surprisingly, the cost of such exotica may be within reach to those of you who can afford the rental fees, insurance and have a sizeable chunk of change available on your credit card to cover the security deposit."
What do you find surprising about that, Mr. Lavrinc?

Looks to me like rentexoticcars.net is just a site full of links to anybody but the big three (Hertz, Enterprise, and Avis). Heck, I chose Orlando FL at random and the one place listed doesn't offer anything more exotic than a Vette -- boring. It isn't even a Z06.
I'd say if you were travelling to one of the cities where this sort of thing is fairly common -- Miami, Vegas, LA, whatever -- you'd have a pretty easy time locating agencies without wasting time on this site, which amounts to a place to park advertising. (Their home page even disclaims any relationship to the rental agencies.)
Yawn. It's like excitement over mid-90s-style Yahoo Link-Portal madness all over again.
