Exotic Car Rentals
My family is working on an Exotic car rental project/company in Vegas. I was just wondering, from an enthusiasts point a view, what cars would you want to rent? Please be sensible and dont say stuff like the Enzo, Carrea GT, SLR, etc. Stuff under 200,000 would be ok.
Attached is a list of cars my father has made so far. Keep in mind that we still need to narrow it down to about 20 - 25. Your input is greatly appreciated.

A lot of those cars would never be rented out, or very rarely. A lot of people are going to want Escalades, or Navigators. Especially if they have some nice aftermarket chrome wheels on them.
That's just how a lot of the general public thinks when it comes to cars

Thanks for the input guys, the Elise is being considered but they havent hit the market yet so we'll have to see. As for Lambos, i am not sure but the big POS suvs on big stupid shiny wheels is not a bad idea. As for bikes, i dont think they'll rent because of not enough people have motorcycle licencences (especially tourists or high rollers).
Thanks again

i was just in vegas last summer and rented a prowler.....heres a list of what i remember: also note that i went to 2 rental places and saw a few more: they basically had all the same cars:
heres the list and also rental fees that i can remember:
ferrari 360 and 355- had to be 25 to rent and it was like $1500 a day for the 360, $1100 for the 355
porsche cab and boxster
hummer h1 and h2
dodge viper- there were alot of them....cost $280 for 4 hours
plymouth prowler- cost $240 for 4 hours
honda s2000
there was a slk
those are the ones i remember....
you have alot of exotic cars that most probably woulndn't make you too much $....ie. jag, bentley, e55 benz, 911 turbo
i wish i would've rented the viper, but i'll admit i was too scared to rent it since i'm still under my parents insurance and i had never driven a car with that much hp.
+++++also note+++++
i'll be honest that i definitly wanted to rent the car, however would probably not do it again unless i had money to burn......it's not that the rental was expensive, it's just that there is nothing to see in vegas (you can only drive up and down the strip so many times).....my friend and i actually drove to the Hoover Dam...it was cool, but i probably wouldn't do it again......also you have to be so damn careful when you are driving....( i remember the guy was like if you scratch a rim you have to buy it basically the fee for the scratch was $450 or something).
+++++also note+++++
just another thought, my friend and i also rented limos where ever we went....it was fun since we could get drunk and not worry about driving....it was actually more economical than getting a taxi....this is a different market, but i know for sure i'm going to rent limo's when i go back this year and PROBABLY NOT rent an exotic car.
the BIGGEST FACTOR in Vegas is there is a lack of places to go in my opinion, as i stated before you can only drive up and down the strip so often
