Default Need advise: gtaexotics.ca or ultimateexotics.ca

I'd like to send a friend on one of the exotic car touring packages in toronto as a B-day present. I've come across www.gtaexotics.ca and www.ultimateexotics.ca . Im guessing some of you have been on such drives in the past. I'd appreciate some input on these two companies to help in making a decision, or ,if you have another suggestion that would be helpful also.

Gerry and Rick (Driveteq principals) are terrific fellows. I have never used their exotic car experience, but their track days are very well run.

I've dealt with Gtaexotics back in 2005. Hopefully they don't have replica's anymore. Took this from one of my old posts back in 2005 lol.

"so, listen to this bs. Rounded up enough coin from my friends to rent a buddy of mine a Lamborghini roadster from www.gtaexotics.ca. $1200 bucks a day plus 7500 down deposit and .75 cent per every km after a 100kms. He got the car got on the highway and gave her a bit of gas and nothing. The thing didn't go anywhere it seemed like it was choked up or something. Got home called the owner which said oh ya there is a restrictor on it and I disengaged the all wheel drive it's only back wheel drive now. We started going through the car and the interior seemed hacked. his cousin a mechanic comes by and found out the motor cover is made out of plastic and has fake spark plug wires. We couldn't find out what exact motor was in there but definitely not a Lamborghini. probably a v6 chevy but it ran like garbage. Make sure you guys don't rent from there. After all the bs we were able to get the money back for the whole day but I bet there have been people out there who have rented not knowing that the car is a fake. Just a heads up pass the word around as this false advertisement."

Thanks for the input. I was hoping for a unanimous opinion but It looks like I got some homework to do before i sign anything.

Had contact with Rick and he was great to deal with. +1 for DriveTech.

Have you tried www.affinitycarrentals.com ?
Rented a Hummer H2 from them for my uncle visiting in Toronto a few years ago. Good experience. They seem to have a couple of Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Porsches.
No affiliation.
