Secret Service vehicles in Presidential motorcade are not anywhere close to standard, off the lot vehicles. I read somewhere that one of the SUV's in the motorcade has a pop up M134 Minigun turret in back. I believe one is equipped with manpad SAM's . They are up-armored and up-engined, with bulletproof glass and run flat tires. Essentially armored personnel carriers cleverly disguised as regular vehicles. Rental Vehicles? No way- unless they were used as "burner" vehicles (in this case literally!) or as decoys.
