Chrysler 300C rental car in Canada?
Hi there!
When visiting Canada as a tourist for a while, I wonder if their might be a chance to get a Chrysler 300C as a rental car during my stay. Do you know of any car rental company in Canada having the Chrysler 300C available? If so, what category will it be: Luxury, Premium? Thanks a lot! |

I know of people who have rented some 300s here in the US but not 300Cs. I would think that Chrysler halted fleet sales to rental agencies - if they ever were selling them 300Cs - in order to fill the very high demand at their dealerships. I could be wrong. |

By this time I'm thinking that many Thrify locations now have the 300C. The best way to garantee renting a 300C is to get the phone number for the various rental companies at the airport you'll be landing at. I mean the phone numbers at the airport (not the main rental car number). Call them and ask if they have the 300C. And double-check it's the "C" and not the "M". I wanted to rent a 300C this summer while in Banff. Thrifty said they had a "C" but turns out it was an M. I then found out that another company (Hertz or National or maybe even Avis) rented the 300C's but had none to rent that day (and in fact said that the C's were booked far in advance). You'll pay 2 times the daily rate for a Hemi C (if they have one) vs an ordinary car (Intrepid). I just looked at Thrify. Renting a 300M for a week from Toronto Pearson Airport (unlimited milage). With all taxes in, it'll cost $385 CDN for a week (232 Euros). An intrepid would cost $300 cdn (180 Euros) |

Just in case they might have a 300C available, I wonder how much an upgrade to that one would cost me. Thanks |

Ask Alamo!!
http://www.alamo.co.uk/ Click on locations and then follow world map. There is a Toronto airport location. Of course no hire company will guarantee you a particular model but are willing to try. E.g. last summer I asked Avis Verona for a particular Alfa Romeo, and they supplied it! (Similarly a year or two ago I asked Hertz NYC for a Ford Mustang and they reserved one -- but I could not get it because of some issues with my UK drivng licence -- no such problem with Budget or Avis et al. Ggrrr....) You have, of course, already established that it is on the fleet. Yes, why don't you just discuss with the rental location?
