Most people see the act of renting a car when in another city a matter of practicality. Find a reliable vehicle to get you around, make sure it’s big enough for the amount of people in your group, make sure it's fuel efficient, logical things like that. But d. You can live your best life for a few days and even pretend you’re someone totally different. No one needs to know you usually drive something that should be in a transport museum or your grandma’s garage.

BMW 220i Convertible

Ever watched those movies where the couple take off for a weekend up the coast in their soft top sports car, wind in their hair? Rent a BMW 220i convertible and live that dream on your next trip. You’ll feel far more spontaneous than if you rent a sensible suburban vehicle - and might even have a better holiday with that new found feeling of freedom.

Ford Ranger Wildtrak 

Ever dreamed of exploring the wilds of the outback Mick Dundee style? You don’t need to worry about roads if you hire a big beast like the Ford Ranger Wildtrak to get around. Go on, off, and around piste with something that can literally drive anywhere and everywhere you want.

Ford Mustang

Many an Aussie bloke has dreamed of driving a big car with some serious power under the hood, even if only for a week. Rent a Ford Mustang and enjoy the sounds of that characteristic growl as you cruise around, with your favourite tunes on repeat pretending you don’t actually drive a people-mover at home to get the kids to football and dance class.

So think a little outside the square next time you rent a car for work or pleasure. It’s a chance to take on a new look, persona or drive something you’ve always wanted to get behind the wheel of. Try a Jeep, a convertible, the latest SUV, a workhorse, an electric car - it could bring a whole new dimension to your next trip away, and start you thinking about the next vehicle you want to own.
