Save £64 on Jaguar Mk2 hire until 26th November



Great Escape Classic Car Hire is continuing its 12 Gifts of Christmas special offers with great deals on Morris Minor and Jaguar Mk2.  Whether you're planning a wedding or looking for a special Christmas gift, these low price deals may be for you.  But hurry - they're only available until 26th November and then they're gone.
For Week 2 of our 12 Gifts of Christmas special offers we've knocked £64 off the price of hiring a Jaguar Mk2 - now just £165 - and £35 off the price of hiring a Morris Minor Convertible.  That's a nearly 30% saving on the normal hire price.  And you get the same all-in package - unlimited mileage, comprehensive insurance, full 24 hours use and nationwide breakdown cover.  We've cut the price but not the corners.
This special low price applies to all bookings and gift vouchers bought for these cars by 26th November.  To secure the low price just call  01527 893733.  You don't need to use the car by 26th November or even choose dates when you book - you can choose dates any time in the next 12 months and still receive this low price.
The latest 12 Gifts of Christmas special offer applies to Jaguar Mk2s and Morris Minors on the Cotswolds, Yorkshire and Devon fleets.  You can choose to buy one day at this price or multiple days - there's no limit.
"Christmas is a time of giving - and these are our best ever offers on these cars," explains Graham Eason of Great Escape.  "These cars are popular as self drive wedding cars, so whether you are looking to book a car for your big day or just a day out, hopefully these low prices will help you out."

7 days & 500 miles round England in a Morris Minor Traveller


Here at Great Escape Classic Car Hire we work hard to make our classic hire cars reliable so when our 1957 Morris Minor Traveller was booked for a 7 day tour of England, we were up for the challenge.
The Morris was booked by Nicola Beauman of specialist publishing house Persephone Books for a book tour to celebrate the publication of the company's 100th book.  Persephone reprints books from the interwar years so the Morris Minor was perfect for the tour of book shops and reading groups throughout Wales, Shropshire, Herefordshire and Somerset.
You can read about the Morris Minor's trip here on the Persephone Books blog.
The Morris Minor Traveller covered 500 miles on the tour, performing faultlessly during the 7 day trip and receiving rave reviews wherever it went.  The car will shortly feature in an article in The Observer colour supplement.  The Great Escape car is a 1957 Morris Minor Traveller 1000 finished in rare dark green with olive leather interior.  It is 'Delux' specification so features a heater, which was normally an optional extra.  The car has been in the same Birmingham family since new.
Great Escape Classic Car Hire has the largest fleet of Morris Minors for hire in the UK, including Morris Minor Convertibles and Travellers.  You can find out more by visiting http://www.greatescapecars.co.uk or call 01527 893733.  Prices start at just £95 for 24 hours.

Get a vintage wedding feel with a vintage car


For a wedding day that needs to be a little different but with a fashionable vintage feel, a Morris Minor convertible is ideal.  With Great Escape Classic Car Hire's fleet of classic Morris Minors wedding cars you also get the chance to drive them too - our cars are all available on a self drive hire basis, so you or your family and friends can enjoy them rather than the chauffeur. 

Self drive classic wedding car hire is cheaper, more flexible and, we think, more enjoyable than traditional chauffeur hire.  

With Great Escape Classic Car Hire's current special offer you get a 15% discount on the normal hire price for these cars.  And there is a choice of four Morris Minors to hire from locations in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the Midlands.  We have a choice of three white Morris Minors with red interiors and red roofs (based in Yorkshire and Cotswolds) and one red car with a tan interior (based in Lincolnshire).  

The special Morris Minor self drive wedding car package on sale here includes:
  • 36 hours use of the car
  • Unlimited mileage
  • Insurance for 1 driver (extra drivers just £25)
  • Wedding ribbons
  • Full UK breakdown cover
Compare that price and package to traditional chauffeur driven wedding car hire and we think it offers great value.

The 36 hour package enables you to collect the car the day before the wedding and return it the morning after, giving you maximum flexibility without paying the full cost of 2 full days hire of the car.  The price is based on collecting the car from one of the three locations listed above - we can also deliver or collect the car if necessary, at extra cost.  

All of Great Escape Classic Car Hire's Morris Minors wedding cars are standard cars in excellent condition.  They are simple to drive and provide excellent interior space.  We hire the cars regularly for weddings and brides find them easy to get in and out of, even with a big dress.  The convertible roof is also simple and easy to operate.  Most of our cars have featured in advertisements as well as BBC and ITV TV programmes.

Great Escape Classic Car Hire is the UK's largest classic car hire company with a fleet of over 80 cars to hire from 10 UK locations.  You can find out more by Googling Great Escape Classic Car Hire or call 01527 893733 or email info@greatescapecars.co.uk. 

We have historically offered chauffeur driven as well self drive wedding car hire but the popularity of self drive hire means we have decided to specialise in this.  Self drive hire means:

  • You get much more time to enjoy the car
  • You can be more flexible on your timings
  • You have the fun of a family member or friend driving you to the wedding
  • You can enjoy the car before and after the wedding
  • The car is available all day and evening for photographs - not just a short while
  • You can use the car for multiple trips to and from the church without increasing the cost
