Anyone know where I can rent an Abarth 124 (or the normal fiat version) for a week in the uk? None of the normal big players seem to do them as far as I can see.

Have you tried asking Fiat/Abarth themselves?

I assume it's because car hire places do either bog standard family wagons or supercars and a tarted up Mazda is neither.

Assuming you see the same promo page - Europcar say they do it.

@Alastair quite extensively - that link is perfect although I need something similar in the north west!

And also it says they are no longer taking any bookings in quite large capital letters...

They do a few in the middle but I can’t stand covertable golfs/ minis etc.
