Hire a Bugatti Veyron – for £17,500 a day!

Want to impress former friends at a school reunion? Why not hire a Bugatti Veyron – for £17,500 a day.

For the price of a brand new 2-litre diesel Ford Mondeo, a St. Albans-based company will lease the 253mph Bugatti Veyron for 24 hours.

And there’s no limit on how long you can hire the 1,001bhp Bugatti Veyron.

As a result it will cost £122,000 per week, £580,000 per month or £6.3 million for the year – enough to fund seven-and-a-half £830,000 Veyrons.

Which means the one of the Premiership’s highest paid footballers John Terry – who earns a reported £130,000 a week – could just about afford to hire the hypercar.

But the leasing firm wouldn’t let the 27-year-old Chelsea captain hire the Veyron – as he’s not old enough.

As part of the deal, anyone who hires the Veyron at the weekend can get 300 ‘free’ miles, before paying £1.50 per mile after that.

The Bugatti Veyron is one of a host of luxury cars available for hire from leasing website Erento.

Other cars available include a Lamborghini Murcielago and Mercedes McLaren SLR (£1,500 a day) and anAston Martin DBS which will cost £1,995 per day.
