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!

Rented because it was cheap. The weather started getting worse as I was on my way to fish, but I still got to sit in the trunk and do some fishing. Love how you can feel the wind.

I wanted to rent a convertible car since I was going to drive in Okinawa. This vehicle's engine performance, and the vehicle's handling was awesome for such a light weight sports cars. I chose a manual transmission. I had a two night, three day trip in the middle of the rainy season. I was a little careless and ended up with a bad sunburn on the second day. It is awesome to drive in the nice Okinawa weather as you smell the ocean. The convertible brings lots of positive attention, and it is perfect for all that Okinawa has to offer.

It is easy to drive, and it is a convertible. I felt good especially when I drove at night with the top down. Breeze, sky, and stars.
2015/02 Roadster(MX-5)
I always wanted to drive it. The handling of this vehicle while driving to Yanbaru was the best. Great feeling of freedom.

The price was cheap for a convertible. Got to ride the whole time with the top down, so even though it was New Year's Day, I got tan. Love the wind hitting your skin while you drive.

Because the Roadster was not available. It was the Obon season, and this was my first time attending. Being able to feel the wind blow on me.
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!
2014/09 Roadster(MX-5)
Compact sports car. I was sunburned very badly, so I will be prepared next time with sun screen. Exhilaration.
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.

That is because Coopers and soft-top convertible cars are too expensive to own, so I have a sports sedan. Since I was going to rent a car in Okinawa anyway, I wanted to drive the soft-top with the stick shift. The weather was good the entire time I was there, so I could enjoy driving with the top down. I fully enjoyed driving through the Yanbaru area, the heavy traffic in the middle of the town, driving in all sorts of conditions, the great gas mileage, and the beautiful views made it fun. The parking lot at Syuri Castle was filled with rental cars which looked like a rental car lot, but I could find my rental car pretty quickly. The car was one of the exciting parts of my first trip to Okinawa. I enjoyed the beautiful air of Okinawa as much as I could. I saw a lot of rental cars during my stay in Okinawa, but this good looking car was easy to spot among all the rental cars.

I wanted this once in a life time experience to ride in this car. I have always wanted to drive a convertible car in Okinawa. I went sight-seeing on the south side of the island on the first day, and I went sight-seeing in the center of the island after that. It started raining while I was driving fast, and I was nervous because it came on so suddenly, but I was able to handle the incident. Thanks to the car I rented, I had a very fulfilling five days. The sense of freedom.

I wanted to drive a convertible car. I was able to surprise my friend with the car on her birthday. I felt closer to nature.
2015/03 Roadster(MX-5)
I wanted to drive the small sports car that is the number one seller in the world. I was confused a bit trying to use the windshield wipers and gear lever a few times. This was due to the fact that they were different than the setup where the levers are usually on the left. The cool breeze was refreshing.
2016/12 A4 Cabriolet
Rented because the car was nice. Okinawa is warm, so the cool breeze felt good.

2016/12 Succeed Van
Rented as we had to go to 2-3 shops to buy some big items, as well as go sightseeing with my wife (I thought taking the bus would be too much of a hassle as it has a time schedule). It was cheap too. We now live in the States, and wanted to vacation in Okinawa, so this was our chance to as we got a few days off. My wife and daughter went ahead to Okinawa so it was great that they introduced me to some of the things that they recommend. This trip was in the winter, but I'm sure that a convertible in the summer, even with the heat, is really nice too.

I was always interested in driving one of Mazda's Roadsters especially the popular ND style. I haven't driven any manual cars for over 20 years, so it took me more than a half day to get used to it. When I was trying to park the car, I had a hard time shifting into reverse, and somehow it kept shifting into first gear. The car moved forward when I wanted to go backward. Driving under the ocean with the top down was awesome, and driving around at night with the top down made it all worth it.
2017/01 Roadster(MX-5) New model
Rented because I wanted to drive a convertible, as well as a stick shift for the first time in a while. The forecast called for cloudy skies and it even rained a bit sometimes; however, it did get sunny after a while and we were able to really enjoy our ride. The moment you put the top down and rev up the engine to reach full speed is awesome. Even mundane tasks like driving seems fun with this car.
2016/05 Roadster(MX-5) New model
Good looking! I wanted to drive it. No answers. Cool air.
2015/11 Roadster(MX-5) New model
Because it was a convertible car. I couldn't take the top down on one of the days I was there. Loved the sense of freedom and the sound of the engine.

2014/12 Roadster(MX-5) Soft Top
I was thinking about buying one in the future. A lot of times, you don't know for sure until you actually drive it. I am a resident of Okinawa, but I wanted to drive to the north end of the island as I check out the fuel efficiency, handling, and overall performance. It's has great handling and performance, felt good driving, spacious, and I loved the feeling of being connected with the road.
2014/10 SOARER
I always wanted to drive one of them. I was very happy to be able to swim even though it was the end of October. It was the best feeling to have the wind blow directly on me. It gave me a sense of freedom.
2016/11 Voxy(2014-)
Cost performance was great, as we rented a car that could seat 5 people. Such a nice, freeing ride.
2016/05 Vellfire(2015-)
Big enough for a few adults. It was interesting to see new food that I had never seen before. It was great to have a spacious feeling. Neutral,
2014/08 SOARER
Because we can't drive those cars normally due to high emissions. I drove fast from Naha to Motobu. It made me feel good to feel the breeze.
2016/03 SOARER
Because I have never driven the car. I could listen to the radio comfortably. The sense of freedom and exhilaration. I was a little bit embarrassed because it stands out.

I can't understand why anybody would rent cars from other companies. To be honest, the non-operating charge and disclaimer compensation fees were a little higher than the other rental companies, but if you can rent convertible cars at a cheaper price, it ends up being even in the end. Looking at the whole picture, I would never think the price is too high. A fair price. I have rented twice, and the cars were in very good condition both times. The first time I rented a car, the condition was excellent. I was so impressed, that I recommended this company to other people, and the sales staff remembered me for leaving a good review for other people to see. I visited this company again for my second rental. One of the employees told me, "I worked so hard to polish this car for you yesterday." Sure enough, the car shined and looked excellent. The purple body was so beautiful. I think rental companies use compound or body coating to cover small scratches. These scratches usually show when you wash the car. This car had no scratches, and this tells me they take very good care of their cars. While I was staying in Okinawa, I could not get over the satisfied feeling I had when driving. I started loving it so much that I thought about buying it for myself (lol). The Soarer is my new wife in Okinawa (lol). I am planning on seeing the same Soarer again in November this year. I already made a reservation. I am bringing my own tire wax and chamois for the tires this time (lol). Just like always, I can't wait to see the shiny Soarer again, which is well taken care of. Because it is Soarer, going to places itself is an eye catching experience. The under-sea road made me feel like I was carried away in a dream. Driving over Kouri Bridge is an experience everyone should enjoy. Drying my wet hair from the scuba diving with the breeze as you drive is one of my favorite experiences. As I was thinking, "I forgot to use sun screen." (lol). The sunburned face and my upper body was my reward and proof of playing hard in Okinawa with the convertible. You need a convertible in Okinawa. No matter what, you need a convertible. If you want to enjoy the blue ocean, blue sky, and the southern wind, you need a convertible. If you're going to rent a car, you need a convertible. And I don't work for them, but if you are renting a convertible, I strongly recommend Speed Rent A Car(lol). Other companies may be good too because I think they take care of their cars, but Speed Rent A Car should be your first choice (serious face). Now they are carrying even more cars. Rows of great looking cars to choose from.

I tried this car because I was contemplating switching from the Z4 to the RS, and to see how good it is (The RS is definitely for day to day errands, whereas the Z4 has better stability on the highway). We headed to a famous burger shop in Nago, but gave up as there were too many people. We tried again on our way back from Churaumi Aquarium, but they had sold out, so that was a bummer. This car really lets you feel the wind and the seasonal aroma, but surprisingly, not the best fit for driving fast. Safety first.
