Simple, honest pricing

We realise that when it comes to spending your hard earned cash on classic car hire there are plenty of options.  So at The Getaway Driver we believe in transparency and honesty.  We stick to a simple principle - the price you see is the full price you pay.
Instead of offering superficially low prices that exclude essential things you need when hiring a car, we show one price with everything included.  So when you book with The Getaway Driver you get:

• Full 24 hours use for every day you book
• Unlimited mileage (except certain high value cars)
• Full nationwide AA breakdown cover
• Administration and card processing
• Comprehensive insurance for 1 driver

So when you compare prices between classic car hire companies, we recommend checking the small print.  In particular:

• Is the hire AM to PM or full 24 hours?
• Is there a mileage limit?  If so, how much extra for excess mileage?
• Is there an administration fee?
• What level of insurance is provided?
• Is breakdown cover provided? If so, is it nationwide or geographically limited (which could be expensive if you break down)?

If you find a comparable package at a lower price The Getaway Driver offers a Price Match Promise.  Call us on 01527 893733 to find out more or visit http://www.greatescapecars.co.uk/.

Your experience matters

Driving experiences.  Sipping an instant coffee in a cold nissan hut before hurtling around a damp race track in the middle of nowhere at the wheel of a tired Ferrari.  For £400 and two laps.
At The Getaway Driver that's not really our idea of fun.  The Getaway Driver is exactly what it says on the tin - we believe in the fun and excitement of really driving on real roads in great cars.  So we've created a load of new driving experiences that are all about just that.
The Getaway Driver Day, as the name suggests, is all about driving.  With a police pursuit driver in the passenger seat and the keys to a brilliant classic car like our Porsche 911 you'll learn how to drive quickly and safely on A roads and B roads. 
Ever wondered which Aston you'd buy when the time comes?  Ponder no more.  With our Aston Dilemma you can drive old and new, Aston DB6 coupe and DB9 Volante, and decide which you like best.  That's a day driving £250,000 worth of cars.
The Italians love cars and so do we.  The Getaway Driver's brand new Bella Italia package combines the best culinary and motoring delights of Britain's boot-shaped neighbour.
Spandex, Spandau and shoulder pads. Hmm, maybe not everything about the 1980s was great.  But they did make some fantastic cars during the decade that fashion forgot.  Relive the halcyon days of GTIs and rear wheel drive with our Back to the 80s experience.  Choose from our 1980s classic car fleet and hit the road. 
There is just something so wonderfully British about an open top car and country lanes.  Our Best of British Getaway brings those two things together.  Tour the countryside behind one of Britain's best sports cars - we provide the keys, the route and lunch.
Watch this space - more are on their way. Or call 01386 792056 for more details.
