Supercarhire for my 26th?

[Juber]

Im not sure if you guys can help, but a Im looking to hire a Lambo/Ferrari for my 26th birthday. Minimum ages are a pain. I live around the London area so, location would suit there or thereabouts. I have between £1k - £1500 to spend, prefer long weekend to make the most of it.

Do you know of any "best value for money" companies?

I'd be more concerned by the damage excess than the cost of the hire.

Being under 30 is bar to most companies (read reputable companies).

Experience days maybe more achievable.

I'm not taking the piss, this is a genuine question;

Do you want the supercar for posing or for the driving experience (or both?)

If you want to experience a supercar-fast machine which you can drive hard, consider hiring a race/track car for a trackday instead. You'll get better value for money, you'll learn more about driving properly fast cars and there'll be no holds barred when it comes to spanking the thing hard. For well within your budget you could hire a Caterham R300 for a full track day- a Caterham R300 will lap as fast or faster than a whole lot of supercars.

If you want to drive on the road, or want to enjoy the other aspects of supercar 'ownership', go for it.

Just go to most companies in Blackburn/Burnley for supercar hire, not that I'm saying most are bent or anything

Its all for show if im brutally honest, and to just "drive around" in a supercar for a few days on the roads.
I have done Jonathan Palmers a couple of times, and the same with track days, done around 8 now using my own car. I love it, but fancy something different such as this.

Rather not go near a dodgy company.
