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!
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.
2015/06 Roadster(MX-5)
I wanted to drive a hard-top convertible in Okinawa. I was surprised that I was able to have conversations while I was driving on a freeway. The feeling of the freedom.
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.
2016/03 Roadster(MX-5) New model
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.
2015/11 BMW Z4
I wanted to drive a fast paced car. After I finished my graveyard shift in the morning, I drove to the northernmost point of Okinawa. Spring and fall are the best times to drive convertible cars.
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.
2016/05 Roadster(MX-5) New model
Good looking! I wanted to drive it. No answers. Cool air.
2015/01 New Beetle Cabriolet
Great design and color. I did get the turn signals and windshield wipers mixed up a few times. The feeling of the breeze while driving. Stands out.
2016/10 SOARER
Rented from here because the car was so cool! The doors opening and closing were like a robot transforming, and everyone was staring at me! The sky felt so close I could almost touch it, and that was another thing I loved about it.
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.

I was just interested in it. The amazing drive over the Sesoko Bridge from Kouri Island! The feeling I got from the speed and acceleration.
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.
2016/12 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.
2016/10 Vellfire(2015-) campaign
Reliable service and, most of all, the prices are cheap. I used this to drive my parents around in my home state of Okinawa, and was a life saver. Will use again.
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.
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.
2015/08 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.
2016/10 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.
2016/06 Roadster(MX-5) New model
I wanted to drive a convertible car with a stick shift, and I was interested in the car because it was chosen as the car of the year. It started raining when I was driving with the top down. It felt so good to be in the breeze.
2013/12 Roadster(MX-5)
I just simply wanted to drive it. It handled great even when I was going 150 km/hr on a freeway. Light weight.
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.
2015/11 BMW Z4
I wanted to drive a European sports car. This was the first time for me to drive a European car, and I was embarrassed when I had struggled with using the wrong levers and switches to operate wind shield wipers and turn signals. I drove on the freeway to get to Nago, and I was very satisfied to experience the sense of speed. The sense of freedom is amazing. When you have the cover opened, it is easier to look around and still be safe.
2016/08 Roadster(MX-5)
I wanted to drive a convertible car. I drove about 250 kilometers round trip from the Tower of Himeyuri (southernmost) to Hedomisaki (northernmost). I had the cover down the whole time, and I got sun burned very bad. It was a good experience to drive right next to the ocean.
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.
2017/01 Vellfire(2015-) campaign
Usually I ride the same car, so I thought it would be a nice change of things. The Vellfire was really comfortable, fitting 6 people. This rental place also offered fast pick-up services, as well as fast responses to our reservations.
2016/04 SOARER
Because it was good looking. I always wanted to drive a convertible car on a southern island. It was electric and easy to drive. It was the best vacation and good weather. You can feel the breeze.
2014/11 SOARER
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.
2015/05 Mini Cooper Convertible
Because I love MINI. A typhoon hit, but it was mostly sunny the next day, and I could experience the awesome drive! I felt so good enjoying the view as I drove right next to the ocean around Okinawa!
2016/07 Roadster(MX-5) New model AT
I wanted to drive a convertible car. I have never had so much fun driving before. The feel of the breeze. I loved the freedom of the open air.
2014/11 SOARER
Convertible with the steering wheel on the right side. It was pretty tight, but four people could ride in it. When I was parking the car, many people watched in amazement. There were some people who were taking pictures of the car. It felt so good when I opened the cover.
