Hi all,

I am getting married in August and want to rent a car to drive my ushers, their partners and me to the ceremony. Basically I am looking for a Friday to Monday/ Tuesday job. Needing five seats I thought a C63 would be a great choice, although I am open to other ideas.

Has anyone used a company recently that they would recommend?

Hertz seems to be the best so far, does anyone have any experience of them?

Thanks in advance,

James

P.S. I don't plan on saying "Watch this!" and ending up backwards and upside down in a hedge!

Nobody ever does.

I just took a look at this ... seems you might end up with a coupé, rather than a saloon, from their text.

After double checking it I thought the same too, although having a saloon in the picture and coupe in the text is slightly confusing!

Other rental places certainly do the saloon, it is just that they are more expensive.

Make sure you check what the insurance excess is. Some of them can be quite steep.

I'd probably be tempted to go a little bigger personally and look at something like an E63/M5 or my personal favourite the Maserati Quattroporte.

C'mon, turn up in a QP and everyone will assume you're one of "The Family" wink
