500 A day, I take it? That's not a bad price, either.
Most companies do 100 miles for the day, and charge a delivery price both ways, unless you can collect. And yeah, they fuel the car up, but you need to put the same amount of fuel back in.

Most companies allow more.... But clearly, it will cost more. All in all, it's expensive.

Yeah £500 a day, which like you said isn't a bad price.
I think most companies are 100 miles a day and charge something ridiculous like £1 a mile for every one over 100.

Yeah about a pound over, but if you speak to them before hand you can buy more miles.

I hired an AMG SLK 55 for my mrs 30th birthday a couple of years ago. Hired it for 3 days and it cost £1300.
Well worth it. Was great fun.
They are heavily restricted on driving ages and mileage. And they delivered on a flat bed truck as well.

yep, quite a few people over there seem to be very generous, lovely blokes who are more than willing to add you on their insurance for a few days for a fee.

Me and a friend hired a 997 Turbo for the weekend. Cost around 2.2k in total after we'd racked up 600 miles over the course of the weekend! Probably wasn't worth quite that much but was a crackin weekend!

Put it in reverse and roll the miles back off Ferris Bueller style.

To be fair though, £450 for a r8 / Porsche Gt3 RS / Ferrari 360 aint bad ... would be a laugh.

Dragged this back up as Ive managed to hire a Tuscan for 4 days for £500 for my wedding.
I know its not a supercar by any means, but it is a car ive always wanted to own, just couldnt bring myself to buy one after the stories, its silver so the right colour as it matches the wedding colour scheme.

i hired out a corsa the other day and social engineered them
so it was £33 for the day, shudda been 27 but cus im under 25 its an extra £6. u have to pay a £250 deposit.
u leave with a full tank, and when u come back they top it up
so i used bout half a tank, came back and guy topped it up and it came to £32 or sumin. then he started saying that there is damage on the car that there wasnt before. utter bullshit btw. anyway we argued for a bit in the office and in the end he backed down and jogged on, forgetting to mention the fuel. u have the option of filling it up urself so she must have presumed i done that
anyway she refunded me £50 and i was like wtf babes its more. so she said sry and refunded another £250... (£50 profit)
so i checked my bank statement and sure enough theres an extra £50, so i gained that and basically got the car for free because i used £32 worth of fuel
might try this with an R8
