does any US car rental company offer bmw products?

[ryan roopnarine]

i know that (IIRC) hertz or such has a "premiere" series that offers both volvo and jaguar vehicles. i would like to rent something bmw (over 4 cyl) without having to use a "luxury" rental place that might charge me an exhorbitant amount for mileage or such. thanks

Volvo+Jaguar=Ford
Hertz offers those luxury vehicles because I believe just about their entire fleet is Ford vehicles. Similarly Avis uses almost entirely GM vehicles therefore their premium vehicles come in the form of Cadillacs. I think all the major rental car companies use American vehicles (I think theres some incentive) and maybe an asian car here and there. My understanding (though I hope I'm wrong) was the only way to get a BMW or Mercedes (or Audi) as a rental is a. through a dealership or b. those expensive luxury rental places. There might be some smaller somewhat localized rental car companies that offer German vehicles, just depends on where you are I guess.

i see that either budget or dollar is going to start offering the mercedes benz e350 as a pick up option in orlando in about a month, so i'm considering that too.

I saw a bare-bones Alpine/Parchment E90 with a green Enterprise "e" sticker.

Enterprise by my shop has mostly domestics, with a few KIAs and a civic and corollas on the side. Very crappy cars they have there.

There's an Enterprise dealer inside BMW of Dallas, and they purchased a few bare bones E90's that you can rent, at a nice premium :D

Try airports. Here in Montreal a friend of mine rents european cars all the time, usually through Avis or Budget. Audi A6, 3 series wagons, Mercedes C Class, all at reasonable prices. A lot of rental agencies have agreements with dealerships to make this possible.

LOL... cheaper if you see the major city links in NYC. Still expensive though. If you are gonna rent this car, ya better have a good ho to go with it! LOL...

[ryan roopnarine]

i ran the bentley too. it is doubly outrageous when you consider that you can lease a bentley for 1900-2100$ month from any US dealer.

[Tiger]

LOL... 100 or 150 miles is free... and $1.45 or $0.45 per mile afterward depending on who you rent it from... Gee... Uh honey, it is 99 miles now and it takes 1 miles to get it back... Wanna steam up these windows?
