The Hertz Corp. announced March 29 that the famous McLaren MP4-12C sports car (12C) is now available for hire for the first time ever, offered exclusively by Hertz/Premiere Velocity in the UK. With the 12C, customers will be able to experience McLaren’s Formula 1 technology for the first time in a road car.
