All prices are "from" prices. What you are quoted can move with availability, which supplier the car comes from, its age and exact specification, and how long you take it for. What binds is your written quote.
These figures are provisional
The deposit, the excess and the mileage terms for this car come from our catalogue data, and we are confirming that data with the insurer while the fleet is finalised. Read them as the shape of the terms rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your hire agreement, and we check the specific car against the specific driver before you plan around it.
The deposit is refundable and held against a card in the hirer's own name at handover — it is not taken online and it is not part of the rate. Deposits, excess and driver criteria
About the Volkswagen Golf R
It makes 328bhp and reaches 62mph in 4.7 seconds. A specific car and your start date are confirmed with a partner first.
The quiet one. 328bhp and four-wheel drive in a car nobody looks at twice.

Why lease a Golf R rather than something louder?
Because some weeks you want the performance and not the attention. A Golf R will keep up with cars costing several times as much on a British B-road, and it will do it without a single person turning round. That is the entire appeal, and for working weeks and discreet trips it is the right car more often than people admit.
Is it actually fast?
328bhp, four-wheel drive and 62mph in 4.7 seconds. On a wet Welsh road it will keep honest company far above it in this catalogue, because the traction is there before the power runs out. It is not a supercar and does not pretend to be; it is close to the most usable quick car made.
What is it like to live with?
Ordinary, in the way that matters. Five seats, a proper boot, sensible economy and a ride that does not punish you on a motorway. Of everything here, this is among the few you could drive every day of the term and never think about again.
Who tends to take it?
Drivers who want something quick over a full term, and younger drivers who cannot yet clear the insurer for the fastest cars in the catalogue. The criteria on this one are the lowest we apply.

Provisional. The age, licence period, points tolerance, deposit and excess above are being confirmed with the insurer while the fleet is finalised — read them as the shape of the criteria, not as a decision on your lease.
If you are under the minimum age for this car, or short on licence years, say so when you enquire. We will point you at something you can lease rather than let you find out on the day.

Questions about leasing the Volkswagen Golf R
Can you lease a Volkswagen Golf R in the UK?
Yes, on a sourced basis. We arrange it through partners rather than supplying it ourselves, and we confirm a named car against your start date before anything is agreed.
Is a Golf R suitable for a long trip?
It is among the best cars here for one. Five seats, a real boot, four-wheel drive and economy that will not have you stopping every two hours.
What licence do I need for a Golf R?
Twenty-five and two years on a full licence, which is the lowest requirement in this catalogue. The specific car is still checked against the specific driver before anything is confirmed.
