This would seem to be a FAQ, but I searched the forum and haven't found much on the subject since 2007.

I'm looking to rent a Lotus in the SF Bay Area. There is a guy on Craigslist renting them, but he charges a delivery fee (from Sacramento) and requires that you have your own insurance, which I don't, because I've just moved from NYC. I'm looking to rent the Lotus to see if I want to buy one.

Any ideas? There must be a way for me to get time behind the wheel of a Lotus other than buying one. And a brief test drive with a salesman in the passenger seat isn't going to cut it, especially since my missus will need to buy-in to the choice of car.

Thanks,

Jon

That's a good call. I've actually been in touch with them about the club. (I don't think it will work for me.) I'll drop them a line. Thanks.

The only company in the Bay Area that did rent them was Specialty Car Rental San Francisco: BMW, Mini, Porsche, Boxster, Jaguar, Corvette, BMW Z4
They apparently no longer do so. I rented an Elise through them quite awhile ago.
