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/.

Eastern Promise

We've added a new location to The Getaway Driver's branch network.  Our new East Midlands site near Nottingham is perfect for touring the Derbyshire Dales or heading towards the unspoilt East Coast.  We've got seven popular classics on our new fleet, including great cars by Alfa Romeo, Jaguar, Morris, Rolls Royce and MG.  They're all available to hire during the week or for the weekend with our luxury getaway packages.  They can also be hired for our driving experiences. 
The East Midlands is a good place to start a weekend because it is so easy to get to, and has some beautiful countryside on its doorstep.  Towards the east the countryside is all about big skies and expansive countryside and coast scenery, to the west it's all about stone-lined fields, dales and pretty valleys.  Our East Midlands tours string together the best of these features to suit your preferences and timescales.
You can find out more about our East Midlands fleet by visiting http://www.thegetawaydriver.co.uk/ or call 01386 792056.

The Times recommends The Getaway Driver

When a reader of The Times Travel section wanted to find an Aston Martin to hire for the weekend recently, the newspaper recommended The Getaway Driver. We can put together unique weekend packages for hire of a wide range of Aston Martins for up to 6 locations across the UK.

The short article in The Times resulted in our phone ringing off the hook and quickly filled our email inbox with enquiries.  This demand demonstrated how much interest there is in what we do - building cool breaks featuring great cars, great hotels and great destinations.  Put simply, we make turning a break into a real escape easy.

"We were really pleased with The Times piece," explains Jamie Turner of The Getaway Driver.  "We had a lot of enquiries and were able to develop several bespoke weekends for customers using our fleet of Aston Martins."

The Getaway Driver offers bespoke weekend packages as well as packages and experiences like its Double Oh James Bond weekend.  The company has a fleet of 50 classic cars available to hire from 6 UK locations and works with leading independent and luxury hotel chains such as Von Essen.  For more details call 01386 792056 or visit htp://www.thegetawaydriver.co.uk
