Supercar Hire

[Paul_B]

Apologies if this has been covered before, I'm sure it has numerous times but the search function is not working.

My missus and I are getting married next year and I would like to hire something fun for the day that I can drive myself before the actual wedding! I have been looking online but there are so many companies out there! Does anybody know of any reputable hire companies that offer good cars and deals? Has anybody got any experience with hiring a supercar, that would assist me in making an informed decision?

I'm based in Hampshire and ideally will be looking for something like a Porsche GT3 RS.

Any help much appreciated!

I've used these people http://www.bespokes.co.uk/index_nn.htm and was very happy with the service, they'll deliver and collect the car for not much money, they don't have a GT3 but 997 Cab or Turbo for around £900-1400 for a long weekend.

Thanks for the reply, they do look pretty good. Shame they don't have a GT3RS. Does anybody else have any other suggestions?

You could give Signature Car Hire a go who I deal with on a professional basis. Great people and great service, based in Northolt, West London. No GT3 RS but I'm not sure if anyone hires those out.

One word of caution. Think how much time you'll actually get to drive and how hung over you might be. It's a great idea in principle, but the reality is on a wedding weekend you have little time to yourself, which would be a shame given how much you'd have spent for a weekend's hire.

Better to do it the weekend after if you're not on honeymoon. Go aware for a weekend of driving and fancy hotels / restaurants.

This place reckons they do

UK Supecar Hire

But based on the website I wouldn't personally touch them with a bargepole. Doesn't look right to me...

Good luck.

Ludo.net friend of mine is the sales manager, call and ask for James Millard, they have this, pretty close to a gt3.

Thanks for the suggestion - Their website and choice of cars looks brilliant but unfortunately looks like they only do a minimum of 2 days hire. I'd only be looking for 24hrs really.

I know exactly what you're saying, but as said, I'd only be looking for 24hrs before the actual wedding, just as a treat to myself and to take my dad out, more than anything else. After the wedding I won't be in any fit state, and then we'll be going away so that's out the question.

Yeah I saw this one and got a bit excited, but as you say, the website looks dodgy. £2500 'deposite'??

Cheers for this suggestion, decent selection of cars and looks like they do 24hrs. Something to consider...

'Bear' tokens sound interesting! I know what you mean, I don't want to be that cheeky! But if people on here are willing to accept beer tokens.....
