Help needed want to hire a GTR or Mustang for weekend?

[stanski]

Hi folks

I wonder if you can offer some advice?

Lucy (my other half and petrol head) organised a cool surprise birthday party for me last week, which was great.

I want to thank her with a surprise weekend somewhere but she gets to drive a GTR or Mustang (new one). Yes I know its chalk and cheese between those but its the surprise factor?

I did a bit of web surfing and there are a few companies but they seem to be mostly London/south based and well £895 for a GTR for 1 day plus £1000 deposit!! So maybe have to adjust that plan?

I would hope you can rent a mustang from ford but their website seems to do it for everything but the Mustang?

Any ideas or advice greatly received.

Thanks

I should buy a GTR and rent it out... Will have my money back in a few months...

Dunno where you're based, but you can rent a GT-R from Hertz for £375 per day with pick up from Manchester Airport.

 

Or there's this place with a few all over the UK for less?

Thanks I am Manchester based.

Think I saw that one too yes £255 is better than the other?

When I went on the Hertz site it didnt seem to offer it for me? Maybe phone browser issue? Will check it from my lappy instead?

 

Thanks and yes £895 per day?!!! Surely a lease plan must be cheaper?

1 day hire for the other one (dreamcarhire) is £345 per day, it's only £255 per day if renting for 8-14 days.

 

There's loads of options though if you just search "GTR hire" in Google and set the country to UK.

Guess what! £255 per day but minimum 3 days over a weekend ..... Wait for it...

 

 

£1710!!!! Pick up 08:00 drop off 18:00 hr monday!

 

I think the mustang is looking a better option!

The Hertz site is hilarious I select the Mustang and it says sorry not available but you can hire a VW Caddy or Kia Piccant!!!

 

She wont notice the difference!

Go with the GT-R - far more special than a Mustang

Hi Stan,

 

Hope you and Lucy are well.

 

What would happen up here in Scotland is that the wide boys would arrange a 24 hour test drive with there local Ford distributor.

 

I am sure that you and Lucy could convince them that you are respectable potential customers.

 

Also if you are lucky then they may even allow you the test on their insurance.

 

Good luck mate and belated happy birthday wishes.

 

Alex.

Hey Alex !! Good to hear from you mate.

 

I was thinking along the same lines try and do a 24 hour test drive?

 

The GTR is just looking too expensive (extortionate)!

 

See how it goes

Why not take her to a track,she could try several Supercars !Not that expensive.
