Built for fuel efficiency, speed and style, the 2008 Mini Cooper car rental is the perfect vehicle for those who care about the environment but still value a few luxuries in their car. Based on Mini models built by the British Motor Company in the 1960's for race track driving, the latest Mini Coopers maintain the same speed and engine power with some additional amenities for everyday driving.

Powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, the luxury car rental generates 118 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque. Standard equipment includes antilock disc brakes, stability control, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. And while the overall layout of the exotic car rental screams simplicity, the company has several different optional features to choose from.

Choices include different wheel designs, a panoramic dual-pane sunroof, xenon headlights, cruise control, rear park assist, front and/or rear foglamps, automatic climate control, leather and/or cloth upholstery, multiple interior color schemes, heated seats, heated power-folding mirrors, a multifunction steering wheel, Bluetooth, keyless entry/ignition, rain-sensing wipers, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, an integrated navigation system, a portable navigation system, HD radio, satellite radio and iPod connectivity.

All those options allow Mini Cooper owners to customize their vehicles in terms of appearance and performance so that each ride has a distinctive and unique personality. It's this attention to detail and personality that sets the Mini Cooper apart from traditional, often stuffy luxury cars and makes it so popular amongst the younger, eco-friendly crowds of today.
