Hertz Italy, a branch of the car rental company, announced that is now offering a number of Lotus Elise SC sports cars for hire. The Lotus Elise SC will be available for rental from key Hertz centers throughout Italy from middle of this month.
Hertz did not mention the fee for renting a Lotus Elise SC, but we guess if you're an enthusiast and you don't have the means to buy your own, it will be worth it.
Mr. Michael J. Kimberley, Chief Executive Officer of Group Lotus plc, commented, “I am delighted that Lotus Cars has entered into this agreement with Hertz, giving us the opportunity to make our stunning world class sportscars available to the
rental market. The iconic and multi award winning Lotus Elise and the stunning Lotus Exige are the perfect fun rental cars for those who desire exclusive and high performance motoring.“
Mr. Andrea Manni, director of the official Lotus dealer, ‘Lotus Rome’ said, "For many, to drive a Lotus is to fulfill a lifelong dream and now, thanks to Lotus and Hertz Italiana S.p.A. this dream can be realised for a longer period than just a quick test drive at a Lotus dealer. We expect some drivers who hire an Elise or Exige from Hertz Italiana S.p.A to visit a Lotus dealership
afterwards, as once you have experienced the exciting and adrenaline fueled capabilities of a Lotus, there is no turning back!”
Ing. Giuseppe Caminiti, Fleet Director for Hertz Italiana said: “We launched the Hertz Fun Collection last year to give our customers the possibility to drive the cars they have always dreamt of driving. The Lotus Elise SC is one of these dream cars and by including it in the Hertz’s Fun Collection our customers have an opportunity to drive a real sportscar. We are honoured to be able to work with Lotus and are delighted that Lotus has created personalised versions of the Elise SC especially for Hertz.“
