# Found on Turo: Halloween Rental-Ready Mystery Machine, Ecto 1, and DeLorean Movie Replicas

If you don't have enough time to prep a slapdash getup for handing out candy bars on October's best holiday but still want to look festive, then we've got a recommendation. Turn your attention to peer-to-peer car rental service Turo, where we've found a few vehicles that'll work as substitutes for costumes or, even better, [pair nicely with them](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/29993/this-pennywise-jeep-wrangler-keeps-terrorizing-the-people-of-louisville>).

Our top pick for a Halloween Turo rental is a [2001 Dodge Caravan](<https://turo.com/us/en-us/minivan-rental/redwood-city-ca/dodge/caravan/313012>) located in Redwood City, California just south of San Francisco. Its owner has replicated the [Mystery Machine](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/2486/california-woman-evades-police-in-scooby-doo-mystery-van>) from *Scooby Doo* as faithfully as one can with a Dodge Caravan, a few period-correct mods like underglow notwithstanding. Screens mounted in the back of the front-row captain's chairs (a distinctly early-2000s mod) are linked to a DVD player loaded with discs of the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon, and if that doesn't tire you of the sound of Scooby bellowing [ROOBY-ROOBY-ROO](<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VjZgFBt2SY>), the horn—which plays the same sound—will.

Nobody has reserved this $89-a-day Dodge for Halloween quite yet, so if you'd rather cruise than hand out candy on Halloween night, you know what to do. Of course, if you would prefer a night in, or don't have enough friends to fill [a seven-seat van](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/30213/the-1995-mitsubishi-chariot-resort-runner-gt-is-the-lancer-evo-minivan-of-your-dreams>) (we sympathize), there are alternatives for each scenario.

If you spend your Halloween in the general vicinity of Orlando, Florida, there's a [replica of the Ecto-1 hearse](<https://turo.com/us/en-us/car-rental/ormond-beach-fl/cadillac/ghostbusters/574824>) from 1984's *Ghostbusters* that you can rent for $292 a day. Unfortunately, that money doesn't mean that you can actually *drive* the thing; its owner insists that it be used for static display only.

We think that if you're going to spend big on renting a movie replica, you might as well go whole-hog and borrow [a faithful clone of the DeLorean DMC-12](<https://turo.com/ca/en-us/car-rental/mississauga-on/delorean/dmc-12/541322>) from *Back to the Future*. At $2,500 Canadian ($1,880 USD) a day, though, we won't blame anyone for balking at the price, and just downing $30 worth of spiced rum at home instead.
