Hi all,

I’m hoping someone may be able to help.
Looking at renting a car from Austin to Vegas but all i can find is run of the mill cars. The whole idea of driving was to do a real American road trip in a real American car. Something worth driving, not there version of a Focus.

Has anyone done a similar trip or know a company that may have cars like this that they will let across states?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Hertz don't have anything at the location i need.

And i can't seem to find Avis fun collection, they seem to have so many web sites!

Ive emailed them so you never know.

Ben,

What companies have you found?

I’m still really struggling with this. Every time I email Hertz I get a different answer.

Thanks for all the replies. Still really struggling with this.

Cant find much to book online at all. Have called a few places and you just go round in circles, reservation centres systems can't book for a different drop off location, go back to the local branch and they just want to send you back to reservations.
Keep getting told I'm trying to book too far in advance, then get told the car i want is already booked for the dates i want. Crazy.

Finally found a Mustang online, booked it, only for it to be canceled a few days latter as the car is not on their books but external companies may list them.

Never thought this would ever be so hard.
