My contribution to this month’s Houston magazine (pg. 68) explores some of the more obscure luxury items available for rent.
For example, a thrifty $19,900 gets you in to a Houston car club that loans out Lamborghinis, Bentleys and the like for a few days at a time. You can rent a elephant – conveniently located in Dallas – from a film production company for $10,000 for your next schindig, or you and several hundred of your closest friends can rent the entire Houston Zoo for $25,000.
Considered, but left off the list: a private island off Belize, rental couture handbags and fine art rental marketed to corporate offices.
