Prestige Rentals
Discussion
I fly up to Glasgow occasionally, rent a car at the airport and travel around 2.5 hours out to the West Coast of Argyll to visit my wife's parents, more frequently recently as her mother is ill.
I typically just rent a typical mid-sized hatch, an Astra or a Focus or some hideous French thing.
This is a wonderful drive, mainly national speed limits and relatively free of traffic, with some great views, rises, hills, valleys, sweeping corners and is generally a driver's dream.
As such, it needs a driver's car to really enjoy what the road has to offer.
I discovered Avis have what they call a Prestige range, which has examples from Mercedes and BMW, but also more tempting drives like a V8 F-Type R or a 992 911 Carrerra.
This is proving very tempting for my next trip out this way. Has anyone rented something like this from mainstream rental companies' more exclusive range, and if so can indicate the likely cost of rental over a weekend or a week? Any experiences to share?
