I found a Aston hire website that does free delivery a while back. Suercar hire company's are not really around here as the demand will not be big enough. With the deposit you have to put sown nowadays and the cost of hire itself may be better to buy one then sell it a week later. That or go to a dealer and have a test drive. Sorry I can't be of more help but you are going to struggle with this.

Ok thanks. I think I'll try phoning the Exeter AM dealership to see if they know of anywhere that does it.

Thanks, I had a look at them but think I want something a bit faster. After speaking to the AM dealer in exeter there isn't anywhere that offers it. I think I'll book a Tuscan here: http://www.southwestsportscars.co.uk/ unlimited millage as well which is a bonus. Anyone ever hired from here?

I run the Classic Car Hire World website and don't know of anyone in the area with an AM for hire. I'm not surprised the local dealer won't do anything.

The comment about high excesses raises an industry norm. The hire companies want people to look after their classic or performance cars and one of the ways of doing this is to make sure the hirer has something at risk - a hefty deposit.

Looks like a possibility. I've rented an E-type from them and the service was great.

Sounds like a good plan!!!

Yeah trying to keep it as realistic as possible, and accessible for people. You don't need to pay through the roof to have fun in a sports car!
