Forget black cabs! SUPERCAR taxi service launches in the UK - but there's a catch

https://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/forget-bl ... i-13340234

Argos is offering customers the chance to get a free ride home in a range of supercars - including a Lamborghini Aventador, Aston Martin DB11 and McLaren 720s

If you’ve always dreamed of riding in a supercar, your chance could finally be here.

Argos is offering customers the chance to get a free ride home in a range of supercars - including a Lamborghini Aventador, Aston Martin DB11 and McLaren 720s.

However, there’s a catch.

To claim a free ride, you need to pre-order a copy of Forza Horizon 4 for Xbox One from Argos.

James Cooke, Video Games Buying Manager at Argos, said: “We wanted to celebrate the launch of the Xbox One exclusive Forza Horizon 4 in a way our customers would appreciate and remember.

“Forza has been one of our most popular gaming franchises since its launch and bringing the game to life by offering the ultimate super-car taxi service was the perfect way to reward our loyal customers.”

A limited number of customers who pre-order Forza Horizon 4 with Argos will be driven around in a supercar featured in the game.

To secure a ride, book online via Billetto, where you can select your desired car and time.

On the day of your ride, you’ll be asked for a booking confirmation and proof of pre-order.

Unfortunately for fans outside of London, the service is only available in the capital.

Pick-ups will take place at the Argos store in Battersea between 9am and 7pm.

booking is via a ticketing platform called billetto but I suspect the company supplying the vehicles is properly licensed and insured
