Car Rental (something decent) Any Suggestions?

[BradleyA]

I have just been told the that Car I have ordered is now going to be another 7 weeks.

I am Far Far from impressed as its delivery date was supposed to be next week.

Having sold my other car and it due to go away any day this leaves the wife/myself without a car.

Since its going to be for 7 weeks I don’t want something small and boring and want to at least half enjoy driving it.

Something Sporty or a Decent sized 4x4.

Budget wise around £600-£1000 Per Month.

Any Recommendations?

Thanks

Brad

Why dont you just buy a car with a few months tax and MOT on it? You should be able to get something half decent for a grand and a half, then you can always sell it when you get your new car.
Plus that way you aren't going to lose all that money you will still have a car to sell at the end, instead of just giving the hire one back.

Sorry to sound a snob but that's really not what I am after and really couldn't be bothered with the hassle.

I want something with No Worries and Reliable as I have 2 kids and don't want the worry of the car breaking down and as said I want something Nice to drive.

I don't think your budget will get you into anything sporty or nice. Maybe a Mini? Try www.gogetarentalcar.co.uk

When i mean sporty or nice, I am not looking for a 911 .

I mean Like a Golf/Audi etc.

Assuming you are buying the X6 from a main dealer. I think my first port of call would be to kick up a stink with them to give you something to use in the meantime.

John Clark BMW, Assuming you buying from them will rent you a nice 3 series or similar.
Really dont know on price tho. But they would do you a deal being a BMW customer. They have always been good to me on that front
