Sure, you could probably snag a Ford Focus or some other street machine rental from Avis for $7US a day on your next vacation. But why not travel like you mean it?

John Chow points us to a $40,000 per day dream machine:

The Bugatti Veyron is the fastest and most expensive car in the world. Let’s face it, not many of people have a spare $1.3 million laying around … to buy one. For those of you who just wants to get a taste of driving the world’s fastest supercar, HVC Prestige in England has a deal for you. For $40,000, you can rent their Veyron for one day.

About the paltry 50 miles “included” with the rental cost, Autoblog goes on to say:

That 50 miles might feel like quite a lot when you realize that during every minute you spend behind the wheel of this thing, you’ll have sweaty palms, a dry mouth, and a severely elevated heart rate. HVC isn’t messing around with joyriders, either. You must be 28 or older with a valid license for at least the last 5 years. There’s that aforementioned mileage cap, as well as a $300,000 insurance deposit, too.

I wonder if HVC would allow me to trade in my ‘03 Honda Civic for a two-hour spin in this thing? Oh it’d so be worth it.
