## Why hire 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 a working week or a discreet trip 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 for a week?

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 hire for a fortnight and never think about again.

## Who tends to take it?

Drivers who want something quick for a longer booking, 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 hold.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you hire 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 dates 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.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*

*Pre-launch note: the rates, driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer. Read them as the shape of the figures rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your hire agreement.*
