Wanted to rent a family car, but the windows were big and my children were so happy to be able to see the ocean view from their seats. Nice car!
2016/07 Roadster(MX-5)
It is compact and handled smoothly. I enjoyed driving to the north side of the island. Good looking.
2016/08 Noah
Because we could all fit in the car, and it was affordable. Obon season. Didn't rent a convertible.
2016/02 Roadster(MX-5) New model
I wanted to drive a manual transmission. It was a fun experience because I haven't driven a manual for such a long time. It was raining while I was there, but I still could enjoy driving it especially in the morning.
2016/08 Voxy
We needed to have a car that could carry lots of people. We had eight people traveling together. It was very nice to go places in one car. We had so much fun having conversations, and we didn't stop laughing during the trip. Also, the staff was very nice and we would love to do business with them again. It was not a convertible car.
2016/08 Roadster(MX-5) New model
I have driven the same car before, and it was easy to drive. I wanted to enjoy driving a manual transmission. We did some extra driving because we stopped the navigation system for a while, and it was still a fun drive. An exhilarating feeling.
2016/07 SOARER
I was looking for a convertible car to rent. I wanted to rent a MINI Cooper, but they were all rented out at the time. I went with a Soarer because it was somewhat interesting. I rented the convertible, but the trunk was very small. I didn't put the top down very much. Driving right next to the ocean was the best of me.
2016/03 Roadster(MX-5) New model AT
I chose an automatic because I can comfortably drive on this long-awaited vacation. The traffic was very bad in the middle of town, so I was glad I chose to rent an automatic. It was sunny every day I was there, so I fully enjoyed the amazing views of Okinawa. You can enjoy the views from the car, you can gaze at the starry sky, you can enjoy the beautiful air in Okinawa, and more. The newer model Roadster has better gas mileage than I thought.
2016/01 SOARER
I wanted to take some wedding pictures with a convertible car on my wedding day. While I was renting the car, I couldn't open the cover very much because of the rain, but it was sunny on my wedding day, so I was able to create great memories taking pictures with the convertible. You can experience the feelings you usually can't.
2016/09 Roadster(MX-5) New model
Because it was a manual convertible car. The weather was bad most of the time, but I still enjoyed the beautiful views and the wonderful food. Being able to feel the wind while driving.
2015/09 Roadster(MX-5)
Rented this car because I wanted to enjoy the Okinawan air in a convertible. There was a bit of trouble using this service, but was relieved because they have such swift and reliable service. My wife also really enjoyed the ride as it was her first ride in a sports car. Super freeing and loved feeling the wind as we drove.
2015/11 Roadster(MX-5) New model
Because it is a very popular sports car, and it is hard to get a manual car nowadays. I went to Churaumi. You can enjoy an extraordinary experience.
2014/12 Roadster(MX-5)
I was looking for a car with the manual transmission. I thought it was great that they carry hard-top convertibles. It felt so good to open the cover and drive slowly right by the ocean. I could feel the ocean breeze of Okinawa as I drove down the road next to the ocean.
2014/10 SOARER
I wanted to drive a convertible car with the sense of openness. It is hard to find a four-seat convertible car. The back seats were tighter than I thought, but even with having to ride in a small space, I still had fun memories. A typhoon was approaching with a very strong winds and rain. I was able to open the cover and still enjoy the convertible experience between breaks in the wind and rain. It was an awesome feeling to see the people around us staring when we pulled to the side of the road and opened the automatic cover.
2016/12 Copen
Riding side by side with the guy that is also in charge of Daihatsu in a convertible was really nice. I also enjoyed how you could easily take pictures of the Okinawan ocean and scenery in this car.
2015/04 New Beetle Cabriolet
Because it was cute! It was difficult for me to close the cover, so I just drove the freeway with the top down (lol). The wind was refreshing!

2016/04 Roadster(MX-5) New model
I wanted to test drive it before purchasing it. It was so wonderful to drive with the top down along the ocean. To be able to feel the wind.
2016/07 Roadster(MX-5) New model
I wanted to drive it because it was chosen as the car of the year. I loved the car last time I rented it. It started raining so hard while I was driving with the top down. The feeling of freedom.
2015/08 Roadster(MX-5) New model
I have always wanted to drive one at least once. It was awesome driving on winding roads in Yanbaru Forest, but it felt like just a regular car on the freeways. I think it is better to upgrade to a turbo or 2000cc with the oversea specifications. The adrenaline rush you get from the speed.

2016/02 Roadster(MX-5) New model
I wanted to drive a manual car which is very hard to find nowadays even with convertible cars. There is a possibility I could be buying a Roadster in the near future, so a part of the reason for this rental was a test drive. It was exciting to drive over Kouri Bridge under the beautiful blue sky. I loved the blue sky and the sunset, and I felt like I was a big part of nature.
2016/12 Roadster(MX-5) New model AT
Heard that a convertible makes for a great ride, so I tried it out; however, as we were driving, it started pouring rain and my fellow passenger and I panicked as we were getting the hood to get back up on a road that we don't usually take. It was a great time though, and I loved how relaxing it was. Loved how you could look up and see the sky when you're stopped at a red light. Riding with the top down on the highway kind of felt like being on a roller coaster with the crazy wind, but that was exciting too. The wheel was really easy to steer, and the brakes are effective with minimal recoil, which showed me how amazing this car really is.
2014/12 SOARER
I love the car, and I always wanted to drive one. It was a perfect convertible car for the weather in Okinawa. I drove Soarer to the Alivila Hotel where I would stay for two nights and three days. I drove around Yomitanson area, enjoyed sight-seeing and scuba diving. I then drove around Onnason and came back home on the freeway. The hotel had valet parking service that was perfect for the convertible car. If the weather is good, the convertible is the best rental to have. It was not too hot, not too cold, was perfect weather this trip.
2016/08 Noah(2014-)
I wanted to rent a spacious car because I had quite a bit of people in my group. I loved the fact everybody fit safely in the car, so we could go anywhere we wanted. I didn't rent a convertible car.
2016/10 Roadster(MX-5) New model AT
I used to own a Roadster NC, so I wanted to compare them. I was surprised to find the air conditioning and the windshield wipers are all automatic. This doesn't change the fact of how it feels when you are driving it. The weather was horrible because of a typhoon, but I felt safe because the body of the car sits low and was not affected by the strong crosswinds. Roadster always makes people happy every time they drive it. I enjoyed driving it even with the rain.

2013/11 Roadster(MX-5)
Because it was a manual car. I am a resident of Okinawa. We have a lot of rent-a-car companies here in Okinawa, but it is very rare to find companies who rent manual transmissions. I would be so happy if Speed Rent A Car starts carrying more manuals. Freedom I felt when I was feeling the wind.
2016/10 SOARER
This car was one of the cheaper options that they had, and I wanted to try the 4300ccV8 engine power. The design doesn't look 10 years old, and driving by the North side of the coast was super nice. Some people even waved hi seeing my ride, and I waved back lol. This car really lets you enjoy the sun, the wind, and everything nature offers. Experiencing a true summer drive in Okinawa in a convertible made for a great memory.
2015/07 Roadster(MX-5) New model
I used to own a Roadster, and I wanted to drive it again. I don't know if it was because of the hot summer days, but I saw a few convertible cars during my two-day stay, and I was the only one who had the top down (lol). The feeling of freedom and the feeling of the breeze.
2016/04 Mini Cooper Convertible
I decided to rent the car because my wife requested it. The car I rented didn't have the navigation system, but I could drive around the Island pretty easily as it was my fifth time in Okinawa. It was tight, but we could put two big suitcases on the back seats, so there was no problem there. I would love to use this company again in November.
