Car hire - for vintage, sports & classics
When you think of car rentals and hires, you often think of a pretty insipid four-door hatchback that you rent 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 Into The Blue couldn't be any more different. We're talking supercars, classic cars, vintage motors and more, all waiting for you to take them away with you for a few hours, a day hire or even a weekend.
Gorgeous classic cars for you to drive on the open roads
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 Classic Austin 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 authentic self-drive 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 self-guided itineraries that allow you to really 'open up' your hired car, taking quiet roads and tranquil routes that you'll love.
What's included with these classic 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 driving on the open 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 self-drive car hire experiences. 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 down that country road in Surrey, most hirers will be shown around the car by the operator, so you'll be made aware of any idiosyncrasies before you leave on your self-drive tour.
Pure motoring joy - how all car hire should be!
Cruising the quiet 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.
Where you can go on your self-drive classic car hire experience
From the coastal roads around Norfolk, the rolling hills of Surrey and leaving London behind to explore the Home Counties, these classic car hire operators are dotted around the UK. Head over for the day, or make a weekend of it and use our Hotel Breaks partner to book a night or two in a hotel!
If you prefer to drive the classic car of your choice on a track rather than the open road, we can do that for you as well! Take a look at our Classic Car Track Day Experiences.
