Hertz Brings the Best (and Most Expensive) Rental Cars to the UK

December 14, 2011 at 9:45 AM | by | Comments (0)

We’re all about awesome rental cars, but the latest offerings from Hertz might just be the best ones for a reasonable amount of money. We’ve talked about the company’s “Adrenaline Collection” line of vehicles, but these are a step above—like a six-figure step above in some cases.

Hertz Supercars will be glad to meet you at the airport with a vehicle from its stables, and some of the options include marques that you’ve only dreamt about. Options from Rolls Royce, Bentley, Ferrari—and even McLaren—are all available for the taking, but obviously you’re going to need some serious coin to pick up one of these vehicles. Oh—you also need to reside over in the UK, as this is exclusively an English option for the immediate future.

Just for fun we looked at picking up an Aston Martin DB9—0 to 60 in under five seconds—and we got a quote for £3,890.50. Sounds pretty reasonable to us, but that doesn’t include the £3,500 excess charge which appears to be some kind of mandatory fee. Hilariously there’s even a place on the main booking page to enter a discount code, so if you know of any good ones please let us know. We just doubt that our AAA card is going to put a dent in our rate for the rental car of our dreams.

There are some more "normal" cars—think Mercedes SUVs—that’ll run you less than £150 per day. Hertz Supercars also offers Land Rovers and BMWs, so there are some pretty cool options that won’t force you to sell all your belongings—and those of your friends and family. Although we’re unlikely to participate in a Hertz Supercar rental—pending our Powerball victory—we still like dreaming and having an outlet to do so.
