Default Exotic Car Rentals in Victoria or Vancouver???

Does anyone know of any place in Victoria, or on The Island, to rent exotic cars?

A place in Vancouver will suffice ... it is the last option.

Are you sure you wouldn't rather go to Chicago?

Good one 4x4 ...

If that car could be rented on The Island, and if it came without plastic looking wierd guitar guy, it would be perfect!

No. Vancouver is the closest place to Victoria you can rent them.

What kind of car?

Anything really ... Porsche, Ferrari, Vette, even a new Camaro ... Even a high end luxury car would do. We're looking for a cool wedding car.

These guys, CuteWheels, are the best place I can find. They have Mini Coopers and Pontiac Soltice; not great, but better than a Ford Fusion from Avis.

If you want anything like that you are stuck going to Vancouver for it. Last time we tried to do something like this we had no luck on the island, could have changed though.

Did you actually rent one? If so, what place did you use? Do you know of one that is the best?

VIP Rent a Car rents a Carrera ($422+100 per day) or a Viper ($702+100 per day). I think I would take the Carrera and save $300. They also have a Prowler (maybe good for wedding car, but not such a hot car IMO) for $223+100 per day.

Well, I've tried calling VIP Rent a Car, and they dont answer their phone and their mailbox is full. Definatlely not a good sign from a place that I'd rent a $100,000 plus car from!

Can anyone that lives out there point me in a better direction? I'd have thought Vancouver would have a few options.

All I can seem to find online are some luxury rentals from Hertz in Avis in Vancouver.

Hey! I definately wouldn't flog a car ... I treat cars better than anyone I know!

Honestly, West Karma's offer floored me. I did send a PM. But, honestly, I would rather rent from a business just in case something bad ever happened. However, VIP still isnt answering, and nobody out here seems to be able to point me in a better direction. West Karma could be the only option, even if it is remote.
