    Premium / Prestige Car Rental

    Cousin of mine is getting married this year and also fortunate enough to be buying their 1st home...not a great combo for finances.
    Have asked if my father's E90 would be available for a wedding car...nice motor but no wedding car.

    Was thinking of renting something nice and doing the driving for them. Obviously there's Dublin Airport but imagine they know how to charge; anywhere else worth checking out? Wedding is in Galway, so anywhere along that route would be ideal.

    Thanks in advance

    Look at Hertz premium. I know someone who rented an A8 from them a few years back

    I find this a useful portal for most car rentals. Might widen your options if you used Shannon as a location. Same portal that Ryanair and some other airlines use. Its worth cross checking the price between them.

    While naturally you won't be able to drive it yourself, I've heard this particular Quattroporte at full chat on a number of occassions and it does sound glorious....

    Renting a car in Dublin Airport was working out a bit pricey, due to logistics of getting it back there or to Shannon - cant leave Dublin for the wedding until the morning of, and thus returning was making it a 2 day rental, due to being unable to drop it back so early after a few pints!

    Luckily, Ive had a kind offer, which will be the perfect solution! Something a bit different and a drop top! Hopefully the weather is good!

    Haha no. It will be an original beetle so she won’t have to worry about coolant
