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!
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.
2016/09 Roadster(MX-5)
I wanted to feel the Okinawa wind while driving a convertible. I was able to smell so much more with a convertible, the fertilizer from a farm, or the smell of a bunch of cows, but that was one of many unique experiences on different parts of the island. It is perfect for vacations, and a wonderful experience of luxury.
2016/09 86
Because it was cheap. I usually drive around a shorter car, so Toyota 86 was a lot longer. I didn't rent a convertible car. I would like to rent a Roadster with a stick shift next time I do business with them.
2014/10 Roadster(MX-5) Soft Top
Because I have heard that it is more light weight than hard top cars and is smoother to drive. I am a resident of Okinawa, but it is still enjoyable to experience nature in a different way. I love the feeling of cutting through the wind while driving and the sense of unity with the nature.
2014/09 SOARER
I searched for a convertible car, and it was perfect. I stayed at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, and we went to the Churaumi beach, and enjoyed golfing. It felt so good driving the convertible as we went from place to place. It was the best car for the weather in Okinawa.
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.
2015/04 Roadster(MX-5)
I wanted to drive a car with a manual transmission, and I also wanted to drive a convertible. The weather was mostly pleasant with clear skies. It rained a little bit, but this allowed me to see how important these rental cars are to the sales staff. When the water from the rain landed on the car, it beaded up and rolled off the windshield and body due to the fantastic shine they put on their cars. I had a great experience when I saw a Yanbarukuina (Yamahara Water Hen/Okinawa Rail) while I was visiting Yanbaru area. I would love to rent this car again. It stands out and looks cool. It is not only a good way of get around the island, but it is also an exciting way to travel.
2016/12 Roadster(MX-5)
I like convertibles, so I rented one and drove around Nikijin with the top down. The sky felt so close and it was super nice.
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.
2016/03 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.
2016/07 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.
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.
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.
2016/09 Mini Cooper Convertible
We had three people, so we rented a car with four seats. It looked cute, too. It was cloudy when we left, and started raining while we were driving. You imagine the blue ocean and the blue sky when you hear "Okinawa"!!! And a convertible car!!!
2016/08 Roadster(MX-5)
I have been considering buying a convertible car, so I wanted to test drive one before I buy it. That is because the body of the car sits low, we stiff-bodied old couple, had a hard time getting in and out of the car at first. I am 185cm tall, so I felt like it was a little too small inside, but I got used to it as I drove around (It became a little more familiar with time.) I felt the adrenaline rush. The views were so much different than usual (extraordinary).
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 Copen
I think driving a manual convertible is great in the Okinawan winter, as you can really let the wind hit your face. Okinawa has especially great roads on the outskirts of the cities, and this car lets you talk to the other passengers, whereas motorcycles would require helmets and prevent you from having conversations. This car is great for a conversational starter piece as you can share your experience in the car, and would be a great investment for business; although, I do think that the more cool cars there are, the more customers may flock to this service.

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.
2016/05 New Beetle Cabriolet
I always wanted to drive a convertible car if I was to drive in Okinawa. It is fashionable, and after I thought about the safety, I decided to rent a European car. There was a problem when I was checking in to rent a car, but they took care of it pretty quickly and I had a great time. Thank you so much! The sense of freedom of course! You can experience nature in a whole new way. It is not possible to have the same experience in a regular 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.

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.
2016/10 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.
2016/11 Roadster(MX-5) New model
I wanted to drive a stick shift car. I reserved this car 2 days before using it, but wasn't prepared for how strong the sunlight was going to feel so I had the top up almost the whole time. I drove near the Fukugi trees and let the top down for about 10 minutes as the sun was setting. Manual cars, I found, are more fun as you can adjust the gear and engine to your liking. You're not wearing a helmet or anything, so the free feeling was different from riding a motorcycle.
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.
2016/11 Vellfire (2015-) campaign
We used this car as we had 5 people and a lot of stuff to haul around. This car was great because you could arrange the seats in so many ways, so we flattened the third row for our things. We rented it for 3 days, and the car was comfortable, and the view from higher up was great. I was a bit worried about the car being so big, but it was easy to grasp the car dimensions as you're seated higher up thus giving you a better view of the road. I was able to drive without worries, and the other passengers were amazed at how nice the ride was. It felt so freeing, it was lovely.
2016/10 Copen
The car was nice as it was a convertible and it was compact. The wind felt amazing on my skin.
2016/10 SOARER
This car is a really expensive, high power convertible, and just driving around with the Beach Boys soundtrack blasting as my BGM was amazing, although I forgot the CD in the car. I'm planning on listening to it again when I rent from this service. You can really enjoy the refreshing scenery of Okinawa... the blue sky, and the green ocean.
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!
2016/08 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.
2016/11 Roadster(MX-5) New model
Rode the Roadstar all day because it was just that much fun. You can really feel the wind, and it's really nice.
