Well, there are cars and there are CARS. This is definitely one of the latter. How much spare cash would you need to have one of these babies though? Well, you’re looking at around £130,000 of motor right? Or in that region anyway, depending on how new it is. I may have found a much better answer though. Hiring a supercar.
dreamcarhire.com, the super car self drive hire company, has launched a brand new concept when it comes to hiring a super car. The ‘Six Car Super Car Day’ gives drivers the opportunity to drive six of the world’s most iconic and prestigious sports cars over 200 miles during the course of one day.
The unique day will give drivers in the UK the first ever opportunity to spend a whole day driving a Lamborghini Gallardo Spider, a Ferrari F430, a Porsche 911 (new 977) Turbo, an Audi R8, an Aston Martin DBS and a Bentley GT Convertible. The unforgettable day of driving is perfect for those planning to hire but unsure which model; for corporate days or for those simply after a fun, speed-fuelled day out.
The chosen route will allow drivers to safely experience the thrill, handling and performance of a selection of the finest super cars in the world. The 200 mile trip starts and finishes at the dreamcarhire.com HQ in Oxfordshire – the gateway to the Cotswolds – and winds its way through the countryside of Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, past some of England’s most famous landmarks.
The day begins with breakfast and a full safety briefing before introductions to the cars and route are made. Each vehicle is equipped with a pre-programmed satellite navigation system to allow the driver to enjoy the journey without the hassle of finding out the route. During the day the cars are changed at designated points, so the driver can experience the qualities of each specially selected vehicle. Lunch is provided at an idyllic setting on the banks of The River Thames.
Simon Thrussell, Commercial Director, dreamcarhire.com says: “Every sports car is unique and has its own distinctive characteristics. Being able to offer people the chance to experience the thrill of six entirely different models is a brand new initiative and one that we hope will be a real success.”
The dreamcarhire.com Six Car Super Car Day now takes away the dilemma of knowing which car to choose from the enviable fleet of 29 cars from the company with the largest fleet of any super car hire company in the UK. The opportunity to share the experience is also possible with the duel-driver package.
The single driver package is £995 and the duel-driver package is £595 per person.
Sound like your cup of tea? Well, it certainly sounds like a lot of fun to me. The only thing that puts me off is the London-only location. I found that with many of the car hire/car clubs this is the case, if you’re any further north than Manchester you’re out of luck. Then again, it is a comparatively cheap way to step into some of the finest motors in the world.
