Default Hire an Aston Martin for a day?

Anyone on here in that business area, or know someone that is etc

My friend's are getting married on 1st of May and as a surprise, the bride wants to hire an Aston as the wedding car, but is only seeing places advertising them for £500+ plus the insurance and safety deposit etc...

So I thought I'd ask here, as I'm sure someone knows or is involved in that kind of car hire...?

Or is anyone rich on here got a DB9 or similar they wanna hire out for a wedding?

It's in Essex/Nth London border, post code area IG10;

So if anyone can, PM me with prices etc please!

If people who can want to PM me prices that'd be much appreciated! I'll have to report them back to the bride to be, as it's her purse strings, not mine!

Apart from wanting an Aston, and wanting to pay less than the £500+ she's been quoted, perfect! thanks

I bet he (the groom) would love to, but I can understand him not being able to if it saves money on the hire...

My mate got one for his 30th for the day, I believe it was around the 6-700 mark for the day with a limited mileage of 200 miles.

His Girlfriend organized it on the sly and the first he knew about it was when the box trailer rolled up outside his house.

IIRC It was a DB9m identical to the one in the Bond film of that year or around that time.
