Car Hire and Open Road Driving
Sports car hire, supercar rental and vintage car hire - this is
what motoring was made for! Experience the pure pleasure of these
self-drive tours, where you get to take fabulous vehicles out on a
bit of a jaunt on the public roads. Yep, you'll be leaving the
confines of the track behind, to discover how these cars drive on
real roads.
Cruising the quiet country lanes, enjoying the greenery and scenery
as you drive, it's little wonder these classic car hire packages
are so popular with keen motorists. And as well as the sheer honour
of being able to drive the superb sports car you've hired, most
tours also give you plenty of opportunity for refuelling stops for
both you and the car in some very picturesque spots. Sheer bliss -
especially if it's a warm sunny day and you're driving with the top
down. Read more...
Car rental with a difference!
When you think of car rental, you often think of a pretty
insipid four-door hatchback that you just use to get you from the
airport to your destination of choice when you're away on business
or on hols. These sports car hire deals from IntotheBlue couldn't
be any more different. We're talking supercar rentals, classic
cars, vintage motors and more all at your disposition.
Take for example the fantastic Austin Healey 3000. It's a
wonderful-looking car and great fun to drive on the open roads, as
you can see from this Healey Hire
video!
The idea is that you can 'try out' some of your all-time favourite
motors on the real roads. This gives you that really authentic
driving experience, as you'll be negotiating junctions, roundabouts
traffic lights and all the rest of it. But make no mistake, this
isn't a typical commute. You'll be following itineraries that allow
you to really 'open up' your hired car, taking quiet roads and
tranquil routes that you'll love.
What's included on these car hire deals?
The first question many of you ask is just what is included in these classic, sports and vintage car rental packages. Refer to each individual product page individually for the full lowdown, but in general, all the insurance, breakdown assistance and fuel is included. You'll also get maps and a route plan, with suggested stopping points.
Some of the self drive tours are completely autonomous, whilst others are run as a host-led road trip in convoy with other cars and you stop and swap cars regularly en-route. That means you get to drive several fab cars during the course of your hire session, which car fans absolutely love.
The Rules of the Road
Whilst many of the classic cars on the hire books were built in
the days before variable speed limits and motorways, you do have to
adhere to the current rules of the road on these drives. All cars
hired out are roadworthy, road legal, well-maintained and with up
to date servicing and MoTs.
It's worth remembering though, that a vintage car won't have such
mod cons as power steering, ABS and the like. So before you jump
into the driving seat and speed off, most hirers will be shown
around the car by the operator, so you'll made aware of any
idiosyncrasies before your leave on your self-drive tour.
