Lamborghini hire is possibly one of the most popular supercar rental searches in the UK. For the last few years we have watched our famed LP560 Bicolore and Spyder become our most popular vehicles throughout the hire calendar and give some of our excellent clients the time of their life. In light of this, it's only fitting we celebrate the 50th Anniversary in style, so what better way than to kick off the next 50 years of Lamborghini history but with the arrival of a new Lamborghini built specifically to commemorate this special supercar birthday. Our stunning new LP570-4 Edizione Tecnica is presented in Rosso Mars (devil red!) against black stripes, roof and gunmetal alloys. This very rarelimited edition will be available to rent immediately through Premiere Velocity and is one of only 5 in the UK presented in this colour. So...the all important differences over the already savage LP560 start with an extra 18bhp (up from 552 to 570) not much in the grand scheme of things, but when you consider that the Edizione weighs almost 200kg less than the 560, the differences begin to show. In addition to this, the gearbox has been beefed up with faster shift times than the old box, and the exterior is awash with sumptuous carbon goodies. Bare carbon doors, mirrors, rear wing and side skirt extensions, it’s clear to see that this specific model has a lot in common with its race car big brother, the GT3 Super-Trofeo, a car that cuts its teeth at every year Le-Mans! The interior also keeps up with the race car theme with almost everything lavished in gorgeous alcantara, and the rather uncomfortable leather seats have now beenreplaced with fixed alcantara buckets trimmed in red to accentuate the cars outrageous colour scheme. All this savagery can also be experienced alfresco, as we have opted for the convertible version of Lamborghini's final showcase before the face-lift Gallardo makes its real debut. Overall, we are all very excited to have such an incredible addition to our expanding rental fleet, happy birthday Lamborghini and happy summer time PV!!   2013-05-01T10:54:54+00:00 http://www.premierevelocity.com/blog/detail/game-changers/ http://www.premierevelocity.com/blog/detail/game-changers/ With the Geneva Motor Show leaving car fans across the globe in a state of wonderment, It's only fair that we take a little time to reflect on just how far the game has moved on. With cars like the 458 Italia and McLaren MP4 on our fleet, you can imagine we have a relatively good idea of speed. However with the release of the new McLaren P1 and the 'LaFerrari' F150, the pride of our fleet is looking a little.....slow. Both boasting a Hybrid/Combustion style power unit with a whole host of trick Aero and carbon goodies, these two Hypercars absolutely stolethe show. In comparison, the MP4 puts out 616bhp and hits 62 in just over 3 seconds, and the fabled 458 puts out 562bhp from its wonderful V8 and hits 62 in around the same time.Both these vehicles are monstrously fast and more often than not, leave our customers in love and usually a little humbled. However, McLaren's new P1 pumps out a faintly ridiculous 727bhp from its MP4 derived power unit, and thanks to its electric assisted motor it still has another 177bhp to give. With 900bhp on tap and a power to weight ratio that sits lower than the MP4, it's almost hard to comprehend the type of acceleration this car will be capable of. In addition to this, Ferrari's new Enzo replacement (the F150) has a staggering 789bhp from a screaming N/A V12. With the assistance of an F1 inspired KI-KERS system that stores and builds kinetic energy whilst the vehicle is driven, this new prancing horse is feverishly close to 1000bhp! People have compared these technological showcases to the Bugatti Veyron and others of the same like, however, when you consider the Veyron hits 186mph in a little over 18 seconds, both the Ferrari and the McLaren will do it in under 17 seconds, the Bugatti is beginning to look a little like a turbo charged VW Beetle. This kind of technology can only be transferred and replicated into the coming models from both manufacturers which gives us all hope that soon at PV, we will have the chance to offer a little more of what the of McLaren and Ferrari really have to offer. Probably not the P1 or the F150 though....anyone have £1million going spare??     2013-04-16T07:39:49+00:00 http://www.premierevelocity.com/blog/detail/its-snowing-again-so-why-not-rent-a-4x4/ http://www.premierevelocity.com/blog/detail/its-snowing-again-so-why-not-rent-a-4x4/ So.....yes......it's snowing......AGAIN! Not exactly the most encouraging start to spring, but you can still get around by making use of a hire 4x4. With a delivery service that covers the UK, we can the prestige 4x4 to your doorstep with just a quick phone call to one of our sales team. Our staff can suggest what they believe will suit you best depending on your trip, needs and number of passengers. We have quite a few 7 seat 4x4 rental options that are still very luxurious such as the Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE, Audi Q7 S-Line Plus or BMW X5 M-Sport. Not only can these carry all the passengers in comfort but they still have that prestige emblem on the front grill, meaning all the creature comforts that will make the whole experience better. For most clients that hire a 4x4, the public road is where they will do their driving, and all our fleet do that with ease, but if the weather takes a turn for the worse then the king of the road and hills has to be the Land Rover Discovery or one of the Range Rover fleet, including the Evoque which is happily at home in the worse conditions the UK has to offer. Don't forget the all new Range Rover which has already won loads of awards and the ever popular Sport....all available to hire from Premiere Velocity. 2013-03-23T08:22:16+00:00 http://www.premierevelocity.com/blog/detail/10-reasons-why-you-should-hire-from-premiere-velocity/ http://www.premierevelocity.com/blog/detail/10-reasons-why-you-should-hire-from-premiere-velocity/ The prestige, luxury and supercar hire / rental sector is rife with brokers, bedroom pretenders and worse of all, uninsured vehicles. Many clients ask us why they have to pay more with us for their prestige car hire, and the answer is self-explanatory.....like most things in life, you get what you pay for. 1: All our cars are covered by a fully comprehensive 'self-drive hire or reward' policy. 2: We do not keep any stock over 2/3 years old or 25,000 miles 3: We own ALL of our fleet, unlike some companies that make similar claims. 4: We stock the most up to date variants and limited editions. 5: Our rates are completely transparent. 6: We operate as Hertz Supercars. Trusted by the largest rental brand in the world. 7: Polite staff with an extensive knowledge of the hire cars they are offering. 8: The entire fleet is maintained to the highest standard at a 9000 sq ft facility. 9: Real staff and real people, not a call centre or PO Box address. 10: Our images are of our vehicles on our premises, peace of mind.   Our advice when hiring a Supercar or arranging a prestige rental is that you confirm who owns the car? Ask to see the insurance policy, after all; it's your life and finances that are at risk, not the unscrupulous brokers. Go and see the hire car before you pay, if you can't then ask yourself why? Visit the companies premises and make sure that you are dealing with a legitimate company. 2013-03-21T09:13:28+00:00 http://www.premierevelocity.com/blog/detail/nissan-gtr-premium-2013-new-additions/ http://www.premierevelocity.com/blog/detail/nissan-gtr-premium-2013-new-additions/ The Nissan GTR was certainly a vehicle that took the world by storm when it burst onto the scene back in 2008. With lightning quick pace, a refined cabin and enough technology to make you confused it slowly began to establish itself as a true supercar slayer. However, at PV we only want the best for our clients and unfortunately for the GTR, that Nissan badge held us back slightly. However, with the now imminent arrival of a brand new 2013 spec GTR, our opinion has certainly changed. With revised gearbox settings (shifting faster even than the previous double clutch system) and a monstrous 552bhp power unit (up 65bhp from the original car) this beast from the east hits 62mph in a remarkable 2.8seconds. Presented in (you guessed it) pearl white with polished gunmetal alloys over bronze callipers its certainly going to be a ‘looker’. The GTR will be available to hire from next Friday (22/03/2013) so don't hesitate to contact us directly to book your spot in one of the fastest cars on fleet! 2013-03-14T10:21:51+00:00 http://www.premierevelocity.com/blog/detail/new-jaguar-f-type-ordered/ http://www.premierevelocity.com/blog/detail/new-jaguar-f-type-ordered/ After the great reception for our fire breathing Jaguar XKR-S last year, we have decided to add another big cat to our fleet to be enjoyed this summer. Enter the all the Jaguar F-Type, based on an all new chassis and sub frame is should prove to be an excellent addition to our growing fleet. As we are looking to expand our mid-range sports cars for accessible alfresco motoring, we have opted for the F-Type S model complete with an all new supercharged V6 power-plant. This car was aimed directly at the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and as we have a reputation for selecting unique vehicles we have decided to pass on the Aston and introduce what will be the only F-Type on hire in the UK. With a meaty 375 BHP on tap, 0-60 in 4.9 seconds and a truly mouth-watering exhaust note, this excellently sorted little roadster should prove to be an exciting new addition to the fleet. Available from July 13 onwards we should see it arrive with the sun high in the sky. Don't hesitate to get booked up in advance to enjoy some roofless motoring - the British way!   2013-02-28T12:10:37+00:00 http://www.premierevelocity.com/blog/detail/supercars-for-the-summer/ http://www.premierevelocity.com/blog/detail/supercars-for-the-summer/ Here at PV, we like nothing more than watching the cold, damp and uninspiring winter weather begin to slip away! As March looms, it is almost time to ready ourselves for the summer! As many of you will know, our favourite pastime is to accumulate the country’s most sumptuous collection of super/sports cars to entice our willing clientele and this year is no different. We will be saying hello to an all new Ferrari 458 presented in wonderful Giallo Fly Yellow, a new McLaren MP4, our Lamborghini LP570 Edizione Tecnica and as the sun comes out, our new SLS Roadster will have a proper chance to stretch its legs! All in all a truly awe inspiring collection of metal to be enjoyed this year through PV. However, as the years have flown by, our customer have become wise to the summer rush. Should you wish to secure your time in one of our new supercars this summer I suggest you start planning and calling now, by May we will be all sold out! 2013-02-25T10:07:37+00:00 http://www.premierevelocity.com/blog/detail/february-20-discount-vat-free-month/ http://www.premierevelocity.com/blog/detail/february-20-discount-vat-free-month/ We understand that February is a hard month financially.

With the festivities behind us, and the prospect of an entirely new year beginning surrounded by a substantial lack of funds, is not something we all look forward to. To add insult to injury, this year is looking to be one of our coldest January's on record. With the snow looming and roads becoming treacherous, we have bulked up our 4x4 fleet ready for the onslaught. With the addition of a gorgeous new Range Rover Sport Red Edition and 2 brand new Land Rover Discoveries we have certainly added 3 perfect vehicles to conquer the fears of bad weather driving.

As 2013 begins we hope to once again provide our fantastic clientele with the best hire vehicles on the market and supply everyone with some wonderful memories. We hope in the next few months to once again add a few sumptuous new vehicles to our stable to tempt our hungry clients. With the imminent arrival of the eagerly anticipated facelift Range Rover this January (with another two to follow in February) we will also be expecting our mouth-watering new Lamborghini in March. The limited edition Edizione Tecnica is one of very few LP570 Gallardo's offered worldwide. Presented in bright red, over Gunmental alloys and the trademark Superleggera body-kit + high level spoiler, it will certainly be the only example for hire anywhere in the UK, possibly even the world! To start the ball rolling we will soon be offering a special January discount so don't hesitate to call or email us here at Premiere Velocity. We look forward to all your custom in 2013, see you soon!   2013-01-07T09:24:24+00:00
