Exotic car rental company Indulgence Auto Rental of Los Angeles has an offer for celebrities that they may not be able to refuse. Celebrities "who are influential and have a large number of followers on Twitter" are invited by Indulgence Auto Rental to rent a car in exchange for a Tweet about the company and their services. To take advantage of this offer the celebrity first has to contact the company to see if they qualify.

The vehicles offered by Indulgence Auto Rental are not typical rental cars.

The company sets out the offer criteria as follows: "Celebrities who are looking for an exotic or luxury car rental may receive a rental from Indulgence Auto Rental in exchange for a Tweet, if the celebrity meets certain criteria, like: 1) having a verified Twitter account; 2) having more than 2 million followers on Twitter; 3) be personally liked by Indulgence Auto Rental founders.
