Default C7 for prom

I know this is a long shot but who has a c7 in South Carolina they are willing to rent for a prom. Money isn’t really I problem and I will not terrorize your car. I will leave my c5 with you. I know it’s a long shot but figured I should at least try.

I’m not in South Carolina but have you tried the Turo app? Or just rental places in general.

Avis rents C7s - but if your under 25 years old - they may not rent it to you:



By the way...you are in high school, driving a C5 and THAT's not good enough for Prom so you need a C7? Really?

Funny - my son matched his bow tie to my C5 when I told him he could borrow mine for Prom - luckily his girl's dress matched too...

This isnt the first time this request came up and the other times the posters werent so lucky either. The only time i saw the kids taking a c7 to the prom was when they had relatives with c7.


I personally wouldnt mind but out of the several times I let someone else drive it, they damaged it 3 times. At that point enough was enough. Your best bet would be probably to rent one from a company.
