Renting a convertible in paris

Does anyone know a reputable agency in Paris that I can rent a convertible from?<BR>None of the American rental companies seem to have convertibles in their Paris fleets. Does anyone have local recommendations?<BR><BR>thanks.

If you can afford it ($2000+ per week and up), Autoeurope offers a few BMW, Mercedes, etc. convertibles. Check http://www.autoeurope.com/luxury.cfm<BR>Kemwel also gives a toll-free number on their site for information about "luxury rentals." I doubt you would do any better trying to rent from an agency in Paris.

Betty,<BR><BR>Thanks for the response. This has been my problem - I can find several agencies renting luxury convertibles at $2k/week+. The other end of the spectrum is regular sedans at $200/week.<BR>I was hoping for something in between - in US, we can rent basic convertibles (e.g. Chrysler Sebring, Pontiac etc)at $300-400/week. Is there a French equivalent to this? Kemwell, Europcar are all in 2k/week range.<BR><BR>Any help appreciated. I love driving with the top down in the summer, but 2k/week is a bit much <BR><BR>

It must be possible to find something in a less pricey range, like Renault M&eacute;gane cabrio, Peugeot 206 coup&eacute;-cabrio, Opel Astra cabrio, etc.

Try Sixt,it's a German-based rental company with a French subsidiary, and they rent convertible German cars at a surprisingly reasonable rate. Sorry, dont' know their web site, but a quick search should do the trick.
