I can also see that a Ford Mustang coupe is much more expensive to rent, than a "Standard convertible" which most of the time is a Mustang Convertible.
What's the point? The price of a Chrysler 300 and a Dodge Challenger are almost the same, the cheapest Challenger is actually a little cheaper than the 300...
And the same goes for the Mustang, the Convertible is more expensive than the coupe, but the coupe is MUCH more expensive to rent?
Simple supply and demand, plenty of suckers think those cars are SOOOO great and willing to pay for them. Granted the V8 challengers and V8 mustangs are nice cars they arent worth the rental price to me either.
Even most of the mustang rentals are 6 cylinder and cloth and still bring way more then a luxury level car.
Im guessing the coupe is more expensive to rent because its a V8 leather car etc vs the convertible being a base stripped down model. Id prefer the coupe myself.
Being from FL its easy to spot the tourists driving around with a top down over 80 degrees, no one from around here wants to drive around and drip sweat lol
Just take advantage of that and rent the premium or luxury level car like I do for much less and be happy the pricing isnt reversed
