Hello

My fiance's absolute dream car is a Shelby GT350 Mustang. As a wedding day present, I would like to surprise him by renting this car for transportation to/from the venue, as well as taking some pictures in front of the car for the photo shoot. Do you all know of any companies/connections that would allow me to rent the car for the day within the Detroit, MI, area? I am unfortunately not a car person, so your guidance would be extremely helpful!

I doubt you can rent a GT350 from anywhere, and if you could, it's gonna be at a stupid high price & insurance. Long shot maybe find a dealer with a used GT350 and see if you can "test drive" it for a day with a fee.

Your best bet would be something like Turo. It's essentially the Airbnb/VRBO of car renting. It'll be largely dependent on what people are willing to put on there. But, I've seen exactly what you're trying to do done before. So I know some people are willing to do it.

Turo is your best bet if you want a GT350. Agree with another poster to check out Hertz to see there’s one near you that has the Shelby GT-H. It’s not a GT350 but it is a “real” Shelby in that it is a Mustang GT converted to a Shelby GT at the Shelby American plant in Las Vegas and will have a Shelby CSM on the dash plaque.

But if it’s a GT350 he really likes, check Turo. Being in Detroit probably increases your odds a bit.

Why not rent the GT500-H from hertz. Maybe can make a Las Vegas trip out of it and rent this.

Looks like only at select airports so not a ton of help but hopefully you find something. I’m in metro Detroit too and there are some specialty car rental places around but they are kind of shady

Thanks!!!
How lucky is he and how thoughtful are you. Good luck to you guys.
Post this on the GT350 sub forum and knowing some of the good folks on here, maybe someone near you might give you guys a ride.

Definitely contact a local Shelby or Mustang Club. They'll be a member in there who will be willing to come to your wedding with his car for a photo shoot.

Good luck. Thoughtful gift.
