Looking to rent a Speedster for a client

Pierre, 

That's kind of like asking to borrow a man's underpants or his wife.  Mine has been used in two weddings for photographs only. I can't IMAGINE offering mine up for a 100 mile joy ride.  I wish you the best of luck in your quest.

I'd check with the guys at Beverly Hills Motorcars. They have a bunch of them to choose from.

Don't do it. When I had 3 antique cars was asked to do weddings and movies. Insurance agent said wouldn't be covered in"Car for hire" situations.

Mine is only available for photos. No driving allowed.

I'm in the L.A. area but photos only here. Here's what happens in those wedding situations. They are called wedding crashers...

...It's very photogenic though!

Thank you all for the replies and sorry for those who have had bad experiences in the past (it was not with us ). If anyone is interested, feel free to contact me!

How do UBER drivers get away with driving folks around for $$$?  Seems even $300k could be too little for personal liability coverage. A lot of insurance is specific like driving to car shows and events. 

Having your car in someone's wedding memories would be great.  Heck having mine running and on road would be great too.

 Good morning, Pierre!

I may be able to point you in the right direction … 

 I rented the Speedster pictured below in San Diego last September after finishing up a long drive in our own car from SFO down the PCH. It was a delight! 

I'm not sure if the  San Diego owner would be willing to do a Los Angeles rental, but your budget sounds pretty nice…

( I noticed, about a month ago, that someone in Los Angeles had also put HIS Speedster on this app. However, I didn't see it when I did a search just a few minutes ago. It might still be there, but perhaps not available for the days that I searched.  Make sure to do your own search when you get the app.)

 Anyway, I found the car through an app called TURO.  It is, essentialy, AirB&B for cars. The car is fully insured by TURO, not by the driver.  It's a brilliant business model, and one can rent anything from a Prius to a Maserati.

 By the way, I have NO connection to the company, or the owner of the car, other than being a very satisfied customer...  My wife and I rented the tub and cruised around San Diego and Coronado for two days. I hadn't yet purchased my own Speedster then, but those two days certainly solidified my decision!

 Download the app (TURO), contact the car's owner, and see what you can work out with him. He's a very nice guy… 

 Below is a screenshot of the car from the app this morning, and a few pics of my wife and me enjoying it last September… 

Godspeed!

By the smiles you got your $$$ worth --- now buy one and sport that SEG every day!

Cory did buy one after his rental experience. It's hard to keep track we've had so many newbies in the past year.

Roger that, Wolfgang -- what Robert said!

I hadn't thought about it until you mentioned it, W, but that last photo of Mary Jane and me bombing over the Coronado bridge is a pretty good example of an SEG -- or, perhaps just a smile brought on by pure joy... LOL Below is a textbook SEG from the cockpit of my own ride a few weeks ago...
