I've never been able to rent a manual. Like fatboss said, putting the car in neutral before starting it up is fine and is a habit for many, so I am still sticking to the premise that a clutch only should be depressed for starting when it's required or the car is parked in first and putting it into neutral might cause a roll and even then, that's what brake pedals are for
