Hello

Does anyone know where I could hire an Octavia and Fabia vRS from in north east England (near Middlesbrough)?

Basically I want to go to 'Hertz' or similar and hire one of each, for a day, in the same way you'd get a 1.0l corsa for a hire car for the day!

Should help me assess the cars a lot better than a 10 minute spin with the salesman breathing down ones neck!

Cheers

Why not just ask for a longer test drive alone if you are serious about purchasing?

:iagree:

Dont waste your money hiring... If you convince them you are serious they will almost certainly let you out for a few hours or maybe overnight...

HTH

I'll try them at the local skoda dealer and see how things go...its just that in my past car buying experiences, the salesman wants to come with and so going out for a couple of hours isn't going to happen.

Although I hear great things about Skoda dealers so they might be ok with it.

Cheers for your advise guys.

I had a car on loan all weekend (well Saturday morning till Sunday evening). And that was from a local peugeot dealer who I dislike with a passion

Skoda seem to just let you borrow the keys for an hour or so...

They were doing 24 hour test drives a while back.

Don't ask don't get......

I agree about asking your local Dealer.

I " Borrowed" an Octy II vRS, when my furby went in for a service, had the car from 8:30 - 16:00.

You will probably find that MOST dealers wll let you have the car for several hours if you make arrangements.
