Can You Help?

Having recently gained my Jet Ranger Rating, does anyone know where I can self fly hire or short lease the beast?

Jet ranger

Came across this yesterday (as I thought price was amazing until I noticed it was dry !)....don't know where they are based, didn't look, or who they are. I know there are others as a web search will reveal :

L&D Helicopters

Also:
HelicentreLiverpool.com - Helicopter Flying, Professional Training, Sales & Charter - Prices and Finance
Northwest Helicopters
Learn to fly a helicopter with Tiger Helicopters, learn to fly price list, costs to fly helicopter, how much does it cost to fly a helicopter in the UK

Do I get a flight for finding these

A lot of places may require you have a safety pilot with you if your turbine hours are low. This will probably be an additional cost.

Sloane at Sywell certainly used to SFH Jetbangers, but I don't know whether they still do, or what their low-hour policies are.

Rise helicopters at gloucester self fly hire to ppl's. i think they have a 250 hour minimum total time for solo not sure of the rate but think it is around £500.

Thanks everyone, I contacted Flycentre they have no aircraft available and therefore couldn't even tell me how much the cost would have been, NorthWest Helicopters have no Jetrangers anymore, Tiger Helicopters didn't answer the phone - I will chase them today.
Rise Helicopters were helpful, they charge £500 plus vat wet, they say that their insurance dictates that you must have 250 hours total Rotary Time. They also insist that you have a check ride with one of their instructors and 10 hours on type before solo? does this seem reasonable?
