Default 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.

Try Thrifty. 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)

I will come up with a prepaid reservation for an Alamo all-inclusive
(taxes, insurances) "Full Size" car. 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?
