Customers willing to pay up to RM5k per day to rent luxury vehicles like a Porsche, Lamborghini this Raya - paultan.org (2024)
Posted in Local News / By Gerard Lye /
The car rental industry is facing high demand this festive season despite the current economic situation, with customers willing to pay up to RM5,000 a day to rent luxury vehicles. Speaking to Harian Metro, Hafiz Johari, the owner of Dino Car Rental, said he set began his car rental business as demand remained high, especially during festive seasons and school holidays.
Hafiz added that he started his new venture with seven partners after his electrical company wrapped up during the Covid-19 era, initially offering his own cars which were a Perodua Axia and Bezza. “Seeing the potential of this industry, my partners and I did not look back but instead expanded our services to include rental vehicles with drivers,” he told the new outlet.
To cover a wide range of budgets, Dino Car Rental offers six segment categories ranging from a rental rate of RM100 per day to RM5,000 per day. “We have six categories: budget, mid-range, luxury, lifestyle, SUVs and MPVs. The prices range from as low as RM100 per day to RM5,000 per day, with discounts on regular days for customers who make reservations for seven days,” Hafiz explained.
“During the festive season, there is demand for all segments, but the most popular choices are the Toyota Vellfire and Toyota Alphard, which have been fully booked since January due to their spacious design and comfort for long journeys, especially when traveling with large families and elderly passengers,” he added.
Local cars like the Bezza, Axia, Myvi and Alza, which are more affordable to rent, are preferred among those who migrated to the city, although there are customers who opt for something fancier. “Some prioritise style and are willing to pay high prices ranging from RM1,500 to RM5,000 per day to rent luxury vehicles such as the Ford Mustang, a BMW, a Mercedes-Benz, the Mercedes-AMG G63, Porsches and Lamborghinis,” Hafiz said.
“For those working abroad, they usually book for longer periods, up to a month, when returning for festive holidays,” he continued, noting that all Dino Car Rental vehicles have been fully booked for Hari Raya.

Maybe the tagline is “Bergaya di Hari Raya”? When balik kampung, people want to show their jiran kampung their nice (rental?) cars. To show how successful their businesses are and justify them leaving their villages to make a new life in the city.

Good business model to cater for a certain segment of society who has high taste. Kudos to Dino.
The daily cost to rent an exotic Porsche in Germany ranges from around 290 Euros per day up to 700 Euros per day. Our cheapest Porsche is the super comfortable Porsche Macan at a rate of 290 Euros per day. With 5 doors and 5 seats, it offers ample space for a family, luggage and sporting equipment.
The demand for car rentals is relatively inelastic. This means that consumers will be less sensitive to the change in price introduced by the tax, as they may have few options other than renting a car to get to their destination.
When travel restrictions started to ease in 2021, rental car companies found themselves in a pickle. They had to deal with an increase in consumer demand that they couldn't meet due to their now significantly smaller fleets. And even as demand surged, rental car companies couldn't restock their inventory fast enough.
With vehicles such as the 911, Cayenne and Panamera, Porsche has developed legendary vehicles that have everything it takes to ensure fun and luxury on the road. If you would like to rent a Porsche in Stuttgart, you can do so with STARCAR in just a few clicks via our online booking system.
Canada. The cheapest place in the world to buy a new Porsche 911 Turbo S is Canada, with a price tag of C$231,700, which is the equivalent of £136,703. Admittedly, it's still a lot of money, but it works out at 81% cheaper than the global average.
Which should be around 10% of your monthly gross income. Times that by 12 to get your annual gross income. So in order to comfortably afford. a brand new Porsche 9 11 GT3, you need an annual gross income around $467,000.
Note: (a) Chicago's Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority (MPEA) levies a 6 percent rental car tax and the city of Chicago levies a 9 percent personal property lease transaction tax.
A popular method is dynamic pricing, which adjusts prices in real-time based on various factors such as demand, seasonality, and even consumer behavior. This approach allows vehicle rental companies to stay competitive and responsive to market fluctuations.
Unlike fixed pricing strategies, dynamic pricing in the car rental industry involves real-time adjustments based on various factors such as seasonal demand, day of the week, time of day, special events, and rental duration.
A Bugatti – the French luxury car — isn't cheap to own. There are only three models — Veyron, Chiron and Divo — and the prices range from $1.7 million to $3 million.
In the US and Canada, the Ground Monitor 2023-24 predicts a 5% increase in car rental rates to March 2024, due to increasing high demand, largely driven by leisure.
As travel slowly began rebounding, rental car companies struggled to keep up with the pace. Their challenges were exacerbated by a global supply chain shortage of key car parts, including microchips, that slowed new car production overall.
When it comes to the 911, it's surprisingly practical. As Porsche itself says, “a Porsche is not an everyday sports car. It's a sports car for every day.” With that in mind, let's take a look at some of the key factors that make the Porsche 911 an unexpectedly practical high-end sports car.
Are Porsches expensive to maintain? Yes, Porsches are expensive to maintain compared to most automakers' vehicles. Estimates from RepairPal show maintaining a Porsche costs an average of about 83% more than the industry average.
Today, the price tag for new 911 models varies across different global markets. In the USA, the Porsche 911 Carrera starts at around $114,400. In the UK, it begins at £97,000. Meanwhile, in Germany, the birthplace of Porsche, the starting price is €122,493.
Licensed Americans looking to rent a car in Germany should be aware they need an IDP to pick-up and drive their rental in Germany. IDPs are also required if you are looking to drive outside of the country in neighboring Austria.
For instance, the average rent in Germany is €942 per month. However, when you search homes for rent in Berlin and Munich, expect an average rent of €1,745, whereas, in Frankfurt and Stuttgart, you'll find a lower average rent of €920 per month.
