Can't afford a supercar? Rent one

ALONGSIDE more mainstream offerings such as Fiestas and Astras, rental company Hertz is now offering a taste of the high life across Europe by adding a selection of high performance and luxury cars to its fleet.

Arguably the most eye-catching additions are the McLaren 12C and the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, two cars costing in excess of £175,000 to purchase new and both capable of over 205mph.

Other additions to the fleet include the Porsche Cayman sports coupe and the Cayenne SUV, plus luxury cars such as BMW X6 and Range Rover Sport.

Current models at the higher end of the scale that are already available include the Aston Martin Vanquish, Lamborghini LP570-4 Performante Edizione Tecnica and the glamorous Maserati GranCabrio.

Michel Taride, Group President of Hertz International commented: "We are delighted to introduce a number of new high end models to our Supercar range in Europe for our customers worldwide who want to enjoy a taste of the high life. At Hertz we are determined to offer our Supercar customers a first class experience - whether they are car enthusiasts, wanting to land an important business deal, celebrating a special occasion, or simply desiring an unforgettable thrill."
