William Rodgers Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Outstanding Rates in my opinion, I rent cars for work a lot so I typically use free rentals for trips, but if I had a local trip to an area that had these I would pay that for sure.

Of course like any business, rates are subject to change. Looks like they stick it up you if you are a tourist from overseas. My quote was I think for a 7 days rental and done online outside the US last week. Edited May 13, 2019 by NZ Shelby KR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickSilverShelby Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 When are these available to rent at Sixt? I searched several dates in June at Las Vegas Airport car rental and nothing comes up. Would be fun to rent it and take it to Spring Mountain race track and bag the shit out of it 😁 QSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of local trips................. Unlike the previous rental company, Sixt saw no reason to forbid locals from renting the Shelby GT-S. If you recall the previous rental car company would not rent to someone living in the same area as the rental car, you had to show that company a plane ticket before you were approved to rent their Shelby. So lets see here, supercharged Shelby as a rental..............check. Lower rental rates....................check. Local rentals welcome..............check. Generous free mileage..........check. And who knows, perhaps SAI/Sixt will have even more favorable news to release at a later date. Maybe towards the end of the cars rental duty?

I expect they will get thrashed and more than a few wrecked before they get sold on the retail market. I concur with that assessment. These hot rod rentals will be driven hard with little to no repercussions.(Unless it is written into agreements as abuse breakage). I just cant see how they could rent these cars for that type of money, $162.97 to $283.16 and make any profit so I think this is for brand recognition mostly. In either case I'm looking forward to renting one! 100 Days at $283.16=$28,316. (this is only approximately half of what the car retails for. So take 100 hours of thrashing on these hot rods, the car will possibly need major repiar and is not even half paid for. (It has to be a branding situation as no money will be made here).

Swede, your math is a little off. A 2019 Shelby GT spec'd out as close as possible to a Shelby GT-Sixt is closer to $90-95 K Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickSilverShelby Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Retails for $90-$95k. I bet Swede is right, their cost is probably around $60k. QSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
