Default Exotic Car Rental

Hey, can anybody recommend a good exotic car rental place? I am looking to rent a Modena or an F355 for my 16th birthday (kidding about age). I don't really know anything about the process or how much it costs. If you could tell me a little about it, that would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know about SD rental places but what I do know is that most places run similar prices. Modenas, and f355's usually run you $1500 to $2000 a day with no free miles. Something like .50 cents a mile. Have fun if you decide to do it.

Ferrari's are kind of difficult to find and rent. I'm sure there are some people out in S.D who rent them, but you'll have to search around.

Check out these guys, they will rent you an SL500, C6, XK8

OR

Porsche 911 for $299 a day;

I know it's not a Ferrari but Rev Happy is right, costs an arm and a leg to rent one for a day...

slightly off topic, but for the price of half a supercarger, can someone describe what it's like to drive a ferrari? more acceleration, more grip? how much more?

There's was a show on fine living or something where they featured one one the major car rental chains Beverly Hills location for their exotic rentals. Don't remember which chain off the top of my head but a few calls should do the trick....

FYI Budget of Beverly Hills is no more. They got bought buy Beverly Hills Rental Car down the street. You name it, they have it to rent. If they don't have it, they'll buy one for you to rent. They've done this for Prince I think when he wanted to rent a Maybach.
