stanski Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 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.

Strudul Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) 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? Edited May 10, 2017 by Strudul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 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?

Strudul Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited May 10, 2017 by Strudul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 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! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyZ Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Go with the GT-R - far more special than a Mustang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
