If your trip is city-shaped, this is the car. The MINI Electric Cooper SE is silent, quick off the mark and exempt from London's congestion charge — which makes a fortnight in the capital considerably cheaper. It is also the most fun way we know to cover cobbles and mews streets.

Drive into central London without the daily charges that make city hire expensive.
Faster away from the lights than almost anything else on the road, and no gears to think about.
Three-door footprint, tight turning circle and a reversing camera. Multi-storeys and residential streets stop being stressful.
Handed over fully charged with the cables in the boot and a briefing on the UK charging networks.
Delivered to your arrivals gate for a flat £120 covering both delivery and collection — free at East Midlands Airport and Market Harborough train station.
Around 110–130 miles depending on the weather and how you drive. Ideal for city use and day trips; for long cross-country legs we would suggest the Range Rover or Grenadier.
Public rapid chargers are widespread across the UK and we hand the car over with the cables and a short briefing on the main networks.
Yes — Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton and Stansted for a flat £120 covering both delivery and collection.
