    You can google for exotic rentals and see if any come up in your area. Chances are they aren't going to let you drive one because you're not old enough, (dunno about Canada, but in US it's 25 to rent a car) also it will cost you around 1300 usd a day to rent a 360 coupe. Goodluck if you can work it out and you're gonna have someone to front the cash.

    Unless you can find an owner, renting it is not going to be possible nor worth it. Not to mention Ferraris don't have enough room for post-prom activities....

    Highly unlikely that you'll be able to do this. As others have said, I am not aware of any rental agency which rents below 25 y/o. Additionally, I would be surprised if they'd rent to someone if the new it was prom night.

    Private individual... very unlikely.

    Not to be pessimistic, but rent a limo. You don't want to be driving that night. even if YOU don't drink, too many others who you will be in close proximity too, will have been drinking.

    Frankly, pretty much everybody at your school will know that it's not your Ferrari, so renting a Ferrari to drive might look a bit "poser".

    Also: Ever seen the film "Can't Buy Me Love"? How "cool" would you look hunting for first gear, with appropriate misclutch sound effects? ;)

    Renting a limo is conventional.

    How about the "best" of both? A Ferrari Limo?

    Phila http://www.alibabalimo.com/fleet_prices.htm

    (When I google for "ferrari" "limo" "ontario", I find that limo companies also rent normal Ferraris -- although at $2500/day for a 360, and at least one labels them "Only for weddings or photo shoots and other special occasions.")

    Oops -- Okay, when I google "vancouver" instead of "ontario", I get: http://www.gtaexotics.ca/GTA_Exotic_Cars.html in Toronto.

    From http://www.gtaexotics.ca/rental_details.html (emphasis added):

    Q. PROM rentals?

    A. GTA offers our exotic car line up to responsible students with written parental consent. It is highly recommended to book as soon as you know your date to ensure availability. Daily rental rates do NOT apply as the rental is from approx 4pm till the prom ends at approx 12:30am. The vehicle is driven directly back to GTA. To ensure the safety of the renter and passenger a GTA employee follows the rental vehicle inconspicuously or with another exotic car to ensure the vehicle is driven safely. There is zero tolerance for careless or aggressive driving and GTA reserves the right to terminate a rental immediately following a breach of conditions and the deposit may be non-refundable. This is a fun, safe evening with no alcohol consumption. Truly a night you will never forget. Discounts when two or more cars rented.
    Hummers and Escalades monitored real time by Global Positioning Systems to ensure proper driving.

    Prices section for each car prom rates
    deposits are case by case basis
    lambos $800 for the evening including kilometers, deposit usually 2500
    360 $800 for the evening including kilometers, deposit usually 2500
    355 $650 for the evening including kilometers, deposit usually 2500

    I always thought the overall best way to arrive at the prom would be in an ambulance with all the lights going! It certainly would get everybody's attention!! Pull up, you and your date be enclosed in the rear, drop a few pounds of dry ice in a 5 gallon bucket of warm water, fog up the interior, have a strobe light going, bingo insta hit! Everyone will go outside to see what is going on! You will be the talk of the town for years to come!

    If you have the coin to drop on a FCar rental, bag that idea and save your money for a nice vacation the day after you graduate. Hell, you earned it. Go to Cabo (Etc) and party like a pig for 3 or 4 days. It's money better spent. Also, if you DO rent an FCar and you WILL be on the hook for any damages, are you SURE you want to leave it in a parking lot at a Prom while you are inside? Pretty dumb idea if you ask me.

    Yep we have rules up here too. :)

    BTW, the mileage charge for GTA to ship car from Toronto to Vancouver is probably a bit steep.

    Breakaway, get in touch with FChat user Peter in Vancouver area. He might know who can hook you up.
