History
Drawing inspiration from the Cannonball Run films, Smokey and the Bandit, the Wacky Races Cartoons as well as the Gumball 3000, the Rental Car Rally was born as a more reasonable alternative to for those wanting to participate in a rally but who may not have the time and money required to complete in events such as the Bullrun and the Gumball 3000.
The first Rental Car Rally took place on August 15–17, 2008. The route required that participants drive from New York to Montreal, attend a party and drive back to NYC.

“The history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.”
