RENT FRS/BRZ/86 for a week

I live in SF, looking to rent your automatic 86 for a week to see if I want to buy the car.

I checked every Toyota dealer in the Bay area, none offer the 86 for rent
Alamo/Enterprise/etc. don't offer them either.

It's rly frustrating that such a cult-worsihpped car can't even be found for rent!

Anyone able to do such a thing?

As mentioned I would use Turo. Have you tried doing test drives or talking to salespeople about possibly an extended test drive?
