Make your gifts more flexible this Christmas

Great Escape Classic Car Hire has extended its range of Christmas gift vouchers with the introduction of a range of Price Band vouchers.  The new products offer more choice and flexibility, particularly if you're not sure which car the recipient will want to drive. 

The Great Escape price list works on a series of price bands into which every car fits.  Now you can buy a voucher for each price band, which means the recipient can choose any car up to and including the price band you pay for.  And they never need to know how much you paid.

There are 11 different price bands ranging from £95 t0 £549 and all points inbetween.  Great Escape has a fleet of over 70 cars, which means that within each price band there are several different cars, usually of varying types.  The cars are also based at 9 different UK locations, so wherever you are or wherever you'd like to go, the chances are that we have a car nearby.  

Every Great Escape Classic Car Hire gift voucher is valid for 12 months and you can even choose the start date to maximise the available time.  They are very simple to use - just choose a date, check availability using our online calendar (which is updated instantly with new hires) and get in touch.

The classic car hire gift vouchers are backed by our transparent, comprehensive hire package - which means there are no hidden charges.  Every hire day includes 24 hours use, insurance for 1 driver and full UK breakdown cover.  Plus most of our cars have unlimited mileage allowances.

"Our Price Band vouchers give the recipient the flexibility to choose the car and date, so if you're not sure which car they want or when they want to go, they solve the problem," explains Graham Eason of Great Escape.  "Prices start at just £95 and every voucher is valid for 12 months."

Don't let them sock it to you this Christmas

If you're a man (or woman) of a certain age then you'll know that Christmas gifts all too often seem to be about just one thing - socks.  Or maybe if you're lucky, something knitted.
To be fair to any gift-givers reading this, once you hit a certain age it's not an easy task finding something they might actually want.  Hence the socks.
Or is it.  In a quiet corner of the internet Great Escape Classic Car Hire has been beavering away creating some grown up gifts that we think grown up men and women actually want.  No, we don't mean fancy cufflinks or paperweights in the shape of Jaguar E Types.  Instead we've created a range of classic car experiences and gift vouchers that are the stuff, we think, of dreams.  For the price of a second hand XBox you could be sitting behind the wheel of a Jaguar E Type for 24 hours.  Or swap that woolly jumper and for the same money drive a Mazda MX5.

Alongside our standard classic car hire service we also offer a range of classic car rallies and gift experiences.  These include The E Type story, which lets you drive an E Type, XJS and XKR back to back over a weekend as well as more sedate adventures like our Antiques Roadtrip.  Our classic car rallies are increasingly popular - for just £199 you can get behind the wheel of 5 different classic cars on a 100 mile loop of some of our favourite roads around our Yorkshire and Cotswolds sites.  This price includes insurance, fuel and even lunch.
Our Christmas gift packages are only available direct from us.  So you don't pay an activity provider's mark up.  It also means we aren't inundated with people so we can keep everything personal and friendly.  You also get genuine value - a place on one of our rallies costs roughly the same as a supercar day from one of the major activity providers.  But instead of a few minutes on a track in a Lamborghini you get 7 full hours behind the wheels of a range of classic cars.
So if you fancy swapping the socks for a day in an E Type or any one of our 70 classic hire cars, send this story to someone you know.  And tell them if they book by Christmas they'll get 10% off.  That'll sock it to them.
