If you are in a line of work that requires some sort of status symbol for transportation - is a rental car really sending the message? I'm not sure why it matters that you rented a BMW, a porsche, or a Taurus.

Hertz has their dream car collection, and Avis keeps premium cars too(but prob more along the lines of an e class, a4 or a6 etc). The dream car collection has M5's, AMG's, and more. Prob a slimmer selection in Raleigh than larger cities, but doable.

Enterprise did tell me they have BMW's, but none of the ones in this area have them.

BMW/Mercedes aren't exactly luxury in my opinion. I consider a luxury more along the lines of 100-150k+.... BMW, Mercedes, Chargers, Challengers, Cameros, these are all upper-mid class cars, 25-30k range. Easily financeable by any person with a normal middle class wage. All can be gotten for relatively the same price.
Just curious...what do you think of Louis Vuitton handbags?!!

I know it's none of my business, but I'd love to know what you do for a living that requires this kind of rental?

Talk to Avis. They have a division.

Call the concierges at some of the local high-end or boutique hotels--presumably you'll be staying at one of them, right? See what they can do. That's their job. . .

Just make sure if you do Hertz it doesn't have the big NeverLost GPS unit in the car -- it will really blow your cover

I know this is going to sound incredibly sci-fi, but these dudes named the Wright brothers invented this contraption that lets people fly to areas they may not live in, or may not be feasible to drive to, to conduct business.

The part that I'm having problems with is that anyone is going to know it's a rental, and immediately know they are paying $300-600 or whatever a day for it, which would immediately draw suspicion to anyone's financial responsibility, economic common sense, etc. Bad news for a business deal.

So I can't help but wonder if the real motive is to try to impress a babe

me too. in another forum, he says he's early 20's. My old fogie imagination can only think of crime or "talent management" as areas where a luxury rental for a week and "makes good money" come together. So I'm curious.
