maybach rental?

subway

need (read want ) to rent a maybach + chauffeur for an event later this year.
is this even possible in ireland?
i cant find anywhere offering one.

if not possible could someone suggest an alternative (not looking for pimped out hummers:rolleyes:)

is an s-class the only real choice?

Owen

S Class, or maybe a 7. Only 5 or 6 Maybachs came into the country. What hire car company in their right mind would splash half a million on a car that would be rented only occassionally? They'd have to keep it for 80 years to break even.

Doesn't Jim Mansfield* rent out his Rolls-Royce Phantom? I'd prefer that to a Maybach in the decadence stakes tbh

*He owns citywest and weston airport among other things

dubtom

I've seen a couple about the town, absolutly minging in my opinion. A bently looks like a nicer car, or even a roller or s class.Only problem with the bently is that peeps will think it's a chrysler:D

I'd say you've two chances of renting a Maybach in Ireland........

Maybachs are nice! But in fairness id prefer a BMW or Merc. Bentley is big and ugly as with Bm's and Mercs, they look sportier! Thats my opinion! Havent a notion where you'd get a Maybach! Try the North for companys!

3 really, drdre is setting up a business renting Maybachs, Lambos, Mk5 Polos and the Millenium Falcon. Or maybe that's one of his illustrious cousins...

There's one outside the Treasury Building all the time. Looks like a merc. At least the rolls looks cool. But some could say the rolls looks tacky, where the maybach looks inconspicuous, but luxury inside

Stephen

It looks like a Merc cos it is one. Rolls Royces just look vulgar to me. Not quite as vulgar as stretch hummers though

Dish

Just copped its actually called a Mercedes Maybach lol!

Any idea what the 3 day rate including CDW is on the Millenium Falcon? Does the hyperdrive work?

I never said i was setting it up myself.I wouldnt have that much cash.I was looking into it for my cousins which are based in the uk but the bloody insurance and business envoirnment let them down,so it never took off here.

subway

thanks for all the replies people
yes, i guess its very unliklely ill find one to rent.

hadnt thought of a 7-series, they are nice actually, seem a bit more imposing than the s-class anyway.

about that phantom, does anyone know if its through a company its rented, or if he rents it to friends only?

Its much easier to read what you are typing if you put spaces after your punctiuation!

How about renting a Veyron??
Maybe drdre can organise his cousins to add this to their fleet and get a discount, or bigger mileage allowance for boards.ie members

Pfft, what a crap deal. 20k sterling to hire it for 1 day... with a 50 mile limit.

Thats why I hope drdre can convince his relatives in the uk to get one so we can get a better deal

Quint

Weren't they saying on top gear that they depreciate £1200 a week! Make sure you charge a lot to get your money back

The bloody veyron is way too expensive to purchase.You will never make a return on it for a few years and it will cost to much to maintain, depricate because of milage,and will require a huge deposit.

He sold the ferrari a while ago through richmond motors and now has the DB9 convertible.
