    Hi all,
    We had a fantastic time at last years rally in Perth & have registered for the Ferrari National Rally (social drives only). I'm a bit reluctant to transport my Testarossa over to Melbourne for effectively 3 days of social drives (leaving it tucked up safely in storage rather than risking transport damage, etc).
    Consequently I would appreciate any suggestions on places to rent a Ferrari for 3 days during my upcoming visit to Melbourne.
    Not too worried about the model or age of vehicle - just prefer something that will fit in a bit better than your standard rental Corolla!
    Or is rocking up in a rental of any sort (even a Ferrari) really bad form?
    Doing some googling there appears to be some REALLY bad reviews for a lot of the places, especially in regards to not giving back the bond.
    I appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.
    Gary.
    Perth.

    I'd stay away from renting an exotic of any kind

    I doubt any rentals will allow you to do a track day in them.

    Isn't that terrible? You're looking for a Ferrari to take to the FNR in Melbourne so that you don't have to use your, and I have one here already that I could take and I'm not going. I feel like I'm being ungrateful.

    Mate,a lot of people don't know what driving cars like ours are really like until they've done some long road trips.....to say nothing on how good it is for the car to to do it.

    But optimistic with the tow truck times. We met people stuck at Eucla for 3 days waiting for the Rac/Nrma serviceman to arrive in 2011.
