cast iron Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Heading over to California early October for belated honeymoon I know I've married a good one when I mentioned the cost of hiring a Dodge challenger and her reply was you only live once... So with a green light in mind, has anyone experience of hiring a muscle car in the USA. I'm not interested in a Mustang, plenty on the road over here. Needs to be a Dodge challenger or a Camaro SS, any recommendations or experiences welcome Quote

We were looking at doing the Keys with a hire car and my missus went straight to the Ford Mustang and said “of course we have to hire one of these!” 1 Quote
Andy - a15cro Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 I’ve used Dollar a few times and the last twice had a Camaro, 1st time I picked up a bright yellow SS but their usual stock is the RS models. The SS was tremendous. Mustangs are 10 a penny and Challengers are quite rare from the regular rental company’s. I’ve also had a Chrysler 300, Ford Crown Victoria and a couple of Chargers. I’ll ask about as one of my mates goes out to California loads and is into his Challengers. 1 1 Quote

I’m part of a yank car group over here and the new Mustangs as nice as they are just don’t have the kudos (if that’s the right word) our older stuff seems to attract more attention. Quote

Alan France Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Sixt Miami Airport, $180 a day for a Corvette. The other cars don’t come close. Quote
SootySport Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Yer wife probably won’t know the difference between the Mustang and a Challenger, so go for the Challenger , or how about a Hennessy Mustang. Quote

Cheers No limit on miles and we always fly back from the same airport we pick it up from, so I’m not best placed to advise but would love to do a bit of a road trip. 1 Quote
