We just want to be close to you

The price of travelling isn't getting cheaper, despite the occasional tweak to the fuel price.  So we thought we'd bring what we do here at Great Escape Classic Car Hire closer to you.  In the past if you wanted to hire a classic car it meant a journey of several hours to pick it up, and probably an overnight hotel stay too.  Not any more.

Over the past couple of years we've been developing our network of local classic car hire sites so that you don't have to travel far to enjoy a classic car.  From the original centrally located site in the Midlands we now have 11 locations across England, from Devon to Yorkshire and all points in between   And we've just added two more - in Wiltshire and Hampshire. It gives you the biggest choice of classic cars and the widest choice of starting points from one company in the UK.  In fact, you're never more than 90 minutes drive from a Great Escape site anywhere in England.

All of which means it is now cheaper and more convenient than ever to hire a classic car.  So when you give someone one of our gift vouchers you're not committing them to excessive travel costs.  They may not even need to stay overnight.

We operate two site networks - Managed Sites, that are owned and operated by Great Escape staff in Devon, Cotswolds and Yorkshire.  And a network of smaller Owner Operated sites that are owned and run by classic car enthusiasts who hire out their own vehicles based on systems and controls set by Great Escape.

Here's the latest list of our sites:

Larger Great Escape managed sites:

Devon
Yorkshire
Cotswolds

Owner Operated sites:

Hampshire
Wiltshire
Northamptonshire
Peak District
France
Oxford
Shropshire
London

Every site operates to strict systems and standards set by Great Escape Classic Car Hire, so wherever you hire from you get the same high level of personal service and vehicle preparation.

With the network of locations in place we have also been busy developing the choice of cars available at each site.  From our Devon, Yorkshire and Cotswolds managed site you will find an example of each of the most popular hire cars in the UK, including E Types, Triumphs, MGs and Jaguar Mk2s. Our Owner Operated Network tends to have more specialised cars but we ensure each site has a good range and choice.

We follow this flexibility through with our Christmas classic car gift voucher packages.  You can buy a voucher for a particular price band of car or a particular car - as we have several examples of each price band at each site and also several examples of our most popular cars across the country it means the recipient gets some real choice - of car or location.

New Jaguar E Type coupe to hire in Yorkshire

Great Escape Classic Car Hire has added a second Jaguar E Type to its growing classic car hire fleet in Yorkshire.  The new car, which complements the existing Harrogate-based E Type convertible for hire, is a 1965 Series 1 4.2 litre coupe with the highly desirable 'cowl headlamp' design and slim rear lights.

The new Jaguar E Type for hire in Yorkshire from Great Escape is finished in Sage Green metallic paintwork with a tan leather interior.  The car is fitted with a manual fully synchromesh gearbox rather than the earlier and more awkward 'Moss box.'  It is available to hire by the day, weekend or week and is ideal for a day or weekend away or a self drive wedding car.

Great Escape has the largest fleet of classic cars to hire in Yorkshire from its base just outside Harrogate.  The fleet includes classic cars by Jaguar, Jensen, MG, Morris, Porsche and Triumph.  The site is located on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales and also within easy reach of the Yorkshire Moors and coastline.

The latest addition gives Great Escape customers the largest choice of E Type Jaguars to hire in the UK.  The choice includes Series 1, 2 or 3 cars, straight six or V12 power and coupe or convertible body styles.  So whatever your preference, Great Escape has a car for you.

"The E Type is one of our most popular classic cars to hire," explains Graham Eason of Great Escape.  "We wanted to add a Series 1 coupe to give more choice to customers, and also satisfy demand for hire of these cars from our Yorkshire site.

You can hire the new Great Escape Jaguar E Type from less than £240 for 24 hours with our 15% online discount.  Or call  01527 893733 and book by phone and save 10%.  To find out more call http://www.greatescapecars.co.uk or call  01527 893733
