Hertz rental sightings at events and shows

TEG · Feb 20, 2012

I noticed that a couple of people mentioned renting a red Roadster Sport from Hertz LA and then using it for events, and (in some cases) appearances on TV shows.

When one was brought out to a charge spot unveiling in Malibu, I could see some extra stickers which I assume are related to it being in a rental fleet:

So, now when I see a red Roadster in a show, I look to see if it has those extra stickers.

Here was a photo from a Roadster gathering before the Model X unveiling:

Here was a Roadster doing drag race duty on Speed TV "Stuntbusters" show:

Getting one of these seems to be the best kept secrets! I've searched these sites with no luck:

Can't to seem to find out how to rent one? Cost, etc.

I wonder if they put it in the "Green Traveler", "Prestige", "Adrenaline", or "Convertible" category? I have tried all the 'Los Angeles' locations with no luck.

Contact Zack - he should be able to tell you how he found them.

TEG, belated thanks from me also on the original rental thread... 1-day rental in SF last Dec really convinced me to buy a roadster somewhere, somehow.

Here's a pic of the red Getaround car:

Try to actually click on the Roadster and then make a reservation. You can't actually find one. At least my feeble attempts have not been successful each time I've tried.

It was a day, up to Napa and back. $300 at the time, but more now I think.
