New Supercar Hire Fleet in the Midlands

Great Escape Classic Car Hire has created a new fleet of exclusive supercars for self drive hire in the Midlands. The fleet includes prestige cars by Aston Martin, Jaguar, Mercedes Benz and TVR and includes coupes, convertibles and saloons.
The new prestige hire fleet is an extension of Great Escape's classic car hire fleet, which covers 50 cars and 5 locations across the UK. The new fleet includes an Aston Martin Db9 Volante, Jaguar XKR, Jaguar XJR, Mercedes Benz 500SL and a TVR Tuscan. The cars fit into the modern classic category, offering performance and comfort comparable to the latest supercars - but without the expensive hire price tag.
The new fleet is available to hire from Great Escape's base in Worcestershire, which is close to the M5 and M40 and just south of Birmingham. It is backed by the company's comprehensive hire package which provides a full 24 hours use for every day booked, insurance for 1 driver and full AA breakdown cover. The supercar fleet includes a 150 miles per day allowance. Hire is available to virtually anyone aged between 30 and 75.
To find out more about the fleet visit Great Escape's website or call 01527 893733.

Final countdown to tourism award

We are celebrating the news that Great Escape Classic Car Hire has been named a finalist in the prestigious Heart of England Excellence in Tourism 2010 Best Tourism Experience category. The news follows a lengthy application process and face-to-face vetting by the judging team on site.
Great Escape is up against big names from the regional tourism industry for this most coveted accolade. Its is the first award we've ever entered in our short 4 year history and we've got our fingers crossed for the announcement at the Awards ceremony on 21st October.
The judges were impressed with our standard of customer service, rapid growth and our partnership approach to working with local tourism suppliers. Every year Great Escape brings thousands of people to the region specifically to sample our cars and this benefits accommodation, restaurant and attraction providers. The judges also liked our new Getaway Driver concept, which puts together bespoke weekend break packages for customers.
"We are absolutely over the moon to reach the finals," says Graham Eason of Great Escape Classic Car Hire. "We're just a small company up against some big names in tourism so we're really pleased to have got this far. We've got everything crossed for the announcement in October.
"Creating a great customer experience is really important to us - as is fairness, honesty and transparency. I think the judges liked our approach."
The winner of the Best Tourism Experience category is announced at the Heart of England Excellence in Tourism Awards dinner on 21st October, held in the Great Hall at the University of Birmingham.
