I just got a hire car quote from Avis at Heathrow airport for 12 days hire.

Ford Focus or equiv - GBP 300
BMW 330 or equiv - GBP 2,500.

If you even think about saying, "I'll take the BMW", then you're rich.

Surely a rich person would simply have one's chauffeur pick one up. Or drop off the Merc in short term parking for one to pick up, if driving is something one enjoys?

True. I worked on a movie some years ago where they sent a chauffer-driven Bentley to pick me up from home. Much better than driving into London myself.

If you're rich someone sorts out those sorts of details for you. Rich people never need to have direct contact with the likes of Avis!
