Auto Europe Now Offering Prestige and Sports Car Rentals in U.S.

              Specialty Cars Available in Florida and California

    PORTLAND, Maine, June 15 -- Auto Europe, a leader in
international rentals, has just added sports and prestige cars to its rental
inventory in the U.S., making a wide selection of these cars available in
Florida and California.  Cars include Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Lamborghini and
others.
    Sample one-week rentals range from $1,040 for a BMW Z3 to $3,255 for a
Porsche 996 in Miami and from $957 to $4,797, respectively, in Los Angeles.
    Limited mileage, which varies depending on the car, is included.  Tax and
insurance are extra.  There is no delivery charge in greater Miami nor greater
Los Angeles; delivery elsewhere in both states can be arranged for a fee.
    Upon the successful launch of these specialty cars in Europe several years
ago and with demand increasing, Auto Europe decided to launch the program in
the U.S.  Many who drive sports and prestige cars at home very often want the
same type of car while traveling.
    Portland, Maine-based Auto Europe is a full-service travel provider
offering worldwide car rental services, chauffeured cars, air ticketing and
hotel reservations. It has served the public for forty-five years.
