Getting married in a few weeks and my Mum has rather kindly offered to hire us something special for a couple of days after the Wedding to go with a Hotel break she's going to sort out... lovely !

Looking for something like a Ferrari/Lambo, ideally delivered to the hotel in Gloucestershire on the Sunday (16th Oct) followed by collection from our house on the afternoon/evening of the Monday (17th Oct).

I've heard all sorts of scare stories like £5k deposits which don't get refunded if you get a stone chip, huge costs for going slightly over the mileage allowances etc... so I was just wondering if there was a known good place to hire one of these sorts of cars?

Important to probably state I'm 27, and I do have 3 points on my licence (SP30) incase that limits my choices.

Cheers in advance !

I can rent you a Montego Turbo for very reasonable money.

P1 doesnt seem to do one off rentals, and you need to do a driver assessment it seems... unlikely I'd have time to squeeze this in !

Not any more he doesn't

To the OP. Surely of all the companies out there. The least likely to mess you around will be one of the larger chains. Turns out Avis and Europcar do prestige hires.
