Everything was perfect! Had a great time with my Dad driving this around as a Father’s Day gift. Phil was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend!
We had a great weekend with the Cayman, I have been looking at purchasing a Cayman for a while and it was good to be able to drive one for an extended period. The car is in good condition, was clean and ready to go when we arrived, Phil was very quick to communicate and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended!
Really friendly and flexible host. Was able to accommodate us doing a late pick up and return. Car was excellent, clean, and tidy. Used for a wedding and everyone enjoyed seeing it. Would definitely rent again.
The host was polite and welcoming. The ride was fantastic! I enjoyed every minute with the car
Perfect Beautiful car Easy to pick up and drop off Would highly recommend.
Don't hesitate to rent Phil's car. It's a fantastic car and better than new. And above all, Phil will help you with anything you need. Thank you so much, Phil, for everything.
Phenomenal drive! Spent 2 weeks with this car and it’s great for a daily. Subtle when you don’t want attention but screams and has more than enough power when you need it to go. Phil was a great host, really responsive and maintains his car really well. Perfect for couples who don’t wanna give the in-laws a lift 🤣
Great host & excellent car! Phil was super helpful & the entire process was straightforward for start to finish. Thanks Phil!
The car absolutely brilliant, never missed a beat and in excellent condition. Phil is a wonderful host and his excellent communication made the whole process stress free and easy. Thank you.
An unreal experience! Such an amazing car to drive and Phil is super sound 🙌
Amazing, attentive host. The car is epic! If you like DRIVING a car vs. going from point A to B, this is the car for you. Absolutely, a rewarding well taken care, and a great spec! If I'm back in the UK, this host and car will be my first choice.
Phil was a great, communicative host. He was super helpful when it came a bit of a faux pas from my side. The car was extremely keen and drove like a dream and I would definitely book again.
Phil is a fantastic host. Communication perfect and he was waiting for us on pickup and drop off. He was also readily available to answer any questions. After a brief intro to the car we were left to take the car for a drive. The car was clean and performed as well as expected. A memorable experience for sure and I would love to return one day to try again :)
Great car and Phil is amazing host. Easy pickup and drop at the station. Would definitely recommend.
The car was in fantastic condition and didn’t miss a beat. My son was made up for his lift to his prom in style. Phil was very friendly and answered all my questions before I drove away. Collection and drop off location is simple and in a very nice location. I would not hesitate to use again. Thanks again Phil. Regards Daryl
I hired a Porsche Cayman S for three days to properly see what this car is like to live with — and it completely exceeded expectations. From the moment you fire up the 3.4-litre flat-six, it feels special. The sound, the throttle response and the eagerness all remind you this is a real driver’s car, not just something that looks sporty. On twisty roads, the handling is nothing short of superb — the steering is perfectly weighted and incredibly precise, and because the engine is in the middle, the balance through corners inspires loads of confidence. It’s agile and fun even at sensible speeds, and whenever I pushed on a bit more, it came alive. Despite how focused it feels, it was still surprisingly comfortable during longer motorway stints. The ride is firm but never uncomfortable, the seats are supportive, and the driving position is spot-on. The interior is fairly minimal by modern standards, but everything feels high quality and purposeful. Over the three days I averaged about 25mpg – perfectly acceptable for the performance on offer. Practicality isn’t as bad as you’d think – between the small rear boot and front trunk there was more than enough room for luggage and shopping for a weekend away. It definitely turns heads too, but in a classy, understated way rather than shouting for attention. Thank you Phil for all your help and I will definitely be hiring again.
This Cayman S feels premium, drives great and most of all sounds amazing. The pickup location is a quiet cul-de-sac and the host Phil is very personable and makes pickup and drop-off a breeze.
