Half decent rental car in the UK

[Driftit 2078]

Has anyone picked up something better than the standard Avis rental whilst they have been in the UK?

I'm off to Scotland and really don't want to be driving around some wonderful roads in something like a VW Golf.

Are there any P2P car rental services like Turo that you would recommend?

There are quite a few specialists that do luxury / performance models - all the way up to Ferrari and Lamborgini models if you have the coin.

For my wedding I hired a (new at the time) E36 328i convertible to match my god mother's E36 325i convertible, from an outfit near Euston station was a few moons ago though so I am not sure if they are still in business.

Not sure about P2P rental, but I do believe some of the larger BMW dealerships do rental services.

Cheers Jon.  Will check out the dealerships.  Was after something like a 2 series or maybe a 3 or 4 series.

Seems to be plenty doing it.  Though the prices fluctuate wildly.  And there is a ton of hidden fees.

I think Avis Prestige is the most transparent.  Their prices seem to include insurance.  But stuff all Bimmers.

I think the rental companies BMW deal with a lot are Sixt and Europcar, maybe try those two if you really want a bimmer. M240i is a great car, if Sam hasn't got much luggage, I hope you aren't looking for a 2 Series Active Tourer, or I will have to disown you as a friend!!

Oh god I saw the Active Tourer for the first time the other day.  One of those times you go deathly silent and just shake your head with a slack jaw thinking please let that be a Chevy Bolt some kid slapped BMW badges on.  But you know it's not.

I used to work for Europcar in London.  I had totally forgotten about that.  Bet there are still muppets I know working there.

A 240i would be a great time.  Sam is happy with a hand bag and her helmet.
