Rent a Manual Transmission Car
Congratulations! You’ve found Rent Manual Transmission, your source for information on finding rental cars with manual transmissions.
As you may well know, renting these cars has become an increasingly difficult proposition in recent years for a number of reasons. Obviously, consumer preference has shifted dramatically toward automatic transmissions, which in turn, has meant that the stick shift has fallen out of favor. In addition to this, there are several reasons why manual transmissions have become less attractive in the eyes of the rental companies. To begin with, these cars cost more to maintain. Not because the transmissions are costlier, more complicated, etc., but because fewer drivers are able to operate these cars anymore, which leads to increased wear and tear, and thus, more maintenance.
Beyond simple maintenance issues, though, there are a number of other reasons why rental agencies are less inclined to rent these automobiles. As previously mentioned, the fact that fewer drivers are able to operate manual transmissions leads to a rather glaring problem in the eyes of rental companies… liability. Less experienced/qualified drivers means an increased probability of collision, and means that the car rental companies will have to pay more to insure their fleet of cars, not an enticing proposition.
So, that is the situation as it stands. Today, it is very difficult to rent a car with manual transmission. Hopefully, RentAManual.com will help make it easier for those of us still interested in enjoying the experience of driving.
