Interested in touring Baghdad for a day in the near future? Â You’ll want an armored version of today’s tough vehicles – whether you’re accustomed to Suburbans or 5-series BMW’s, the basic $500.00/day rental cost from some Baghdad-based shops is as good as it gets. Â Don’t consider spending $60-$150K on armoring your own vehicle for Baghdad duty until your time in Iraq lengthens. Â But please; do be safe. Â Even as I type I see CNN.com breaking news that a suicide bomber has killed 25 and wounded another forty. Â
CNN’s Michael Holmes delves into this interesting world and comes out with this video. Â
Interesting post, and great video. We export armored vehicles all over the world (many in Iraq lately), but I wasn’t aware of the booming rental market. If you ever need more information on the armored car industry, I’d be glad to help out.
Thanks,
