Supercar Hire — Colchester & Essex
Britain's oldest town, one very modern car.

£595 for the full day, all-inclusive — no payment taken now.
The Car
One Audi R8 V10 Spyder, Delivered to Colchester and Essex
One white Audi R8 V10 Spyder, 540PS, quattro, hired by the day and brought to you with a full detail and a photographed condition report. North Essex has Constable country on one side and the estuary coast on the other, and both are better with the roof down.

Tell Us the Dates
Pick your dates below to hold the car, or send the form with the Essex address. Because Colchester is further from Norwich, we confirm the delivery time and price with you before the booking is final — always the same day.
Delivered by Arrangement
Colchester, Dedham, Manningtree, West Mersea, Maldon, Witham and Chelmsford. The R8 arrives at the agreed time, detailed and photographed, and is collected at the end of the hire the same way.
Drive
Whoever is driving needs to be 25–70 with a full licence held two years, named at booking; we take a DVLA check code at handover. Fifteen calm minutes on the controls and the roof, and the day is yours.
Weekend on Mersea Island or the Blackwater? The weekend escape covers Friday afternoon to Monday morning with 450 miles.
Drives From Colchester and Essex
Where to Point It
North Essex has more good driving than its reputation suggests. Three runs from Colchester.
Dedham Vale
North to Dedham, Flatford and East Bergholt, then the lanes to Stoke-by-Nayland and Nayland. Constable painted this for a reason; it is also quiet, green and pleasant at forty miles an hour with the roof down.
Mersea and the Blackwater
South to West Mersea over the Strood causeway (check the tide), then round through Tolleshunt D'Arcy to Maldon and Heybridge. Oysters, estuary and open sky.
The Suffolk coast
North on the A12 to Woodbridge, Orford and Aldeburgh — an hour to the shingle and the heritage coast. Sixty miles each way, so a weekend escape day rather than a single afternoon.
The Practical Bits
Colchester and Essex Questions, Answered Straight
Yes, by arrangement. Colchester and north Essex are about an hour and a half from Norwich, so we confirm the delivery time and the distance-based charge with you before the booking is final — always within the same day. Or collect from us in Norwich at no charge.
£595 covers insurance for your named driver, 150 miles, a professional detail before handover, and your concierge throughout. A refundable £1,500 security deposit is held against the excess; the zero-excess upgrade (+£125 a day) drops it to £500.
Yes — Friday afternoon to Monday morning is £1,495 all-inclusive with 450 miles. For Essex addresses a weekend is usually the better value, because the delivery run is shared across three days rather than one.
