2016/12 Voxy
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!
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.
2016/12 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.
2015/04 Roadster(MX-5)
Because it is a convertible that gets good gas mileage. I felt good to put the top down and drive in the mornings! It didn't get as windy as I thought it would, so it was very pleasing! I enjoyed the views and the breeze as I drove. You don't understand the feeling you get until you drive it yourself.
2016/12 Vellfire (2015-) campaign
This new car is really popular, so I made use of my 2 days off and drove it to Nago. There were a ton of people in the car and the drive was pretty far, but the interior was spacious and I have no complaints.
2016/08 Roadster(MX-5) New model
I wanted to drive a convertible car in Okinawa. It was amazing to drive over Kouri Bridge with the top down. The sense of freedom.
2014/04 SOARER
Great size and a convertible. I drove it with the top down in light showers. The feeling of exhilaration from the breeze.
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.
2016/10 SOARER
Wanted to enjoy how a convertible felt. I'm from around here, but I felt on top of the world with everyone's eyes on me in this car.
2016/01 Roadster(MX-5) New model
I am thinking about trading my car in and get something else. I went to a cherry blossom festival. It was so wonderful to drive the convertible as I enjoyed looking at all the beautiful cherry blossoms. The feeling of connecting with nature through the cool breeze. The feeling you can't get with enclosed cars and air conditioning. You are missing out if you drive anything else. Everyone needs to experience this once in their lifetime.
2016/07 Roadster(MX-5) New model AT
I always wanted to drive this model. I have never felt more popular when other drivers would wave at me. (^^) Making you feel special.
2014/04 Roadster(MX-5)
I loved it! I enjoyed driving the car near the ocean, the sugar cane fields, and driving through the Yanbaru Forest. The wind blowing on me was awesome. I don't think many people understand the freedom you feel with unobstructed views a convertible offers. I could feel and smell everything around me.
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 S660
I love convertibles, and wanted to ride one. I even hit it up with a guy that was driving a Porsche Boxster when we parked next to each other in a coast-side parking lot. Loved feeling the Okinawan sun and breeze as I was driving.
2013/12 Roadster(MX-5)
I was alone, but I still felt that I would enjoy the car anyway. I was driving around most of the time because I simply enjoyed driving. I didn't know how to get the car in reverse, and this made me a little nervous. However, the freedom and exhilaration I felt is a once in a life time experience.
2015/02 Roadster(MX-5)
I would like to buy one someday, so I wanted to test drive it first. I am not used to driving a stick shift and killed the engine many times, but it was fun to drive. The best part was the feeling of the freedom.
2016/11 Roadster(MX-5)
Rented this car to test drive one before buying anything. Unfortunately, the weather was bad so I couldn't enjoy any blue skies or oceans, but the drive to the aquarium was splendid. I loved being one with nature and driving.
2016/08 Noah
Because we could all fit in the car, and it was affordable. Obon season. Didn't rent a convertible.
2015/01 SOARER
I chose this car thinking Okinawa = Convertible. Driving the convertible over Kouri Bridge was the best (^-^)v, if the weather was perfect.... blue sky, the smell of the ocean, I could feel the southern breeze directly on my face.
2014/02 Roadster(MX-5)
I wanted to rent a convertible car at an affordable price. Even though it was the end of February, it felt so good to drive with the cover open. I rented the manual transmission, and I really enjoyed driving it. I loved the sense of indescribable superiority.
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.
2016/08 Copen
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.
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,
2015/10 Mini Cooper Convertible
Because I wanted to drive a car I don't often have the opportunity to drive and to enjoy the luxury. My companion and I had to wait to show our smiles. This was due to not being able to put the top down on our first day because of heavy winds. It felt so good to drive the car. Only thing I can say is, I loved the freedom I normally can't feel on a daily basis.
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)
I wanted to drive a convertible right next to the ocean. A girl actually came and talked to me who was interested in a date. The feeling of freedom I experienced.
2014/04 SOARER
I wanted to drive a car you can' t normally drive in a daily life. I loved driving with the cover wide open. I went to an Okinawa Soba noodle restaurant the sales staff told me to go, and it was fantastic. He was a very nice guy. Because it was a car I can't normally drive.
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.
2014/06 Elysion
I had a friend with me. We enjoyed Okinawa's famous Motobu Beef and relaxing at Thalasso Pool in Busena. Renting a convertible car and enjoying the nature made the trip very enjoyable. You can experience the freedom and enjoy the smell of the environment around you.
2014/09 Roadster(MX-5) Soft Top
I wanted to drive it in Okinawa. I accidentally went to the beach on Kouri Island because I was lost. When I arrived, there was nobody there since it was around sun set. A person approached us who is in charge of collecting day use fees for the beach. He said, "Since you are already here, why don't you stay and enjoy the most beautiful ocean views. I will not charge you any fees." I ended up enjoying the most beautiful sun set on the beach. I think these experiences, and the beautiful ocean, are great attractions in Okinawa. Spacious. Freedom. The sense of unity with the nature.
2016/10 BMW Z4
The color (silver) was nice and toned down. I also wanted to drive an imported car. There weren't many choices by the time I reserved, so I settled for this one, but it was a nice drive to places like the aquarium and Kouri Island. The wind felt good and I really got to enjoy the summer sun.
