Have you looked on www.turo.com? That would probably be your best bet, I would think.

Agreed - not too many fleet or even luxury rental companies have the GS as an available rental.

I know Enterprise does luxury rentals and have stepped up their offerings to include Range Rovers and Maserati's along with a few Lexus cars: https://exoticcars.enterprise.com/en...e=solana-beach

Honestly if you find a Lexus dealer that has one in stock and are serious about purchasing it, ask the CPO/Used sales manager if you can leave a deposit and take the car for a night. Most dealerships that are not super high volume will let you do it, especially if it's one that's been sitting on the lot for more than a couple of weeks.

Thank you. I’ve never used Turo and the reviews I read are horrific. Scares me a little bit

I used Turo once to rent an M6 for my wedding. It was smooth, no issues with the process. You just have to rent from someone who has had the vehicle out on a lot of trips with solid reviews.

I just saw Turo commercials for the first time last night and signed up!
Debated on buying a $5K Honda Civic and listing it for rent LOL

Then calculated on how many times I’d have to rent it (41 times if average was 3 days rent) and then I’d break even and start making money. Then 41 more trips I’d be up $5K. Not really worth the hassle IMO.

I saw GTR’s in my area for $699 a day, and that made more sense to go purchase a new GTR, rent it out, pay it off, then have myself a sweet ride :-)
