[missyburd]

Lol to get to me graduation but doesn't matter now, am booking train journeys now lol. Ta for replying though KG :-)

Saying that though if people have advice, will need to book one in the future so any thoughts appreciated. Just to use in England for a couple of days, not abroad or anything.

be so much cooler if you turned up in gown on the back of a bike ;)

sure you could borrow one but it might be as expensive to get insurance as just renting in the first place

Unless you are and I am confused, yet again.....

I used Europcar to hire a second car for our holiday coming up in August, so that the outlaws don't have to take the train. Worked out at £340 for a Clio-sized car for 15 days hire.

I didn't exactly compare every single company, but a quick check around revealed this isn't a bad rate.

If you have a look at our company site http://www.scanlansgroup.co.uk (http://www.scanlansgroup.co.uk/) Click on Car Hire & our prices & terms are there.
We are based in Whitchurch, or Crewe, but would be able to do a little bit of discount off for you :)

The internet is your friend when it comes to car hire. Most of the major companies have a web site which will give you a price in minutes. Yell.com will let you find the little local places that will undercut the big companies 90% of the time.

When I was looking I did a quick Yell search for rental companies in my town and then compared 3 of them to find the best rate

Managed to get one from National at 20 when I moved once as a spotty student - probably changed now (20 years on).

One other option is AirMiles. If you have enough points you can use them for car hire. We did on a holiday to Scotch-Land last year when we cheated by flying up to Glasgow rather than spend six to eight hours in the car.

Cheers chaps, will take info on board for future reference.

enterprise are pretty good.

It's about £56 for an Astra from Friday to Monday and that's unlimited mileage. They pick up and drop off as well :)

[yorkie_chris]

Is that including any add on charges? Some of them have a really good low price and then stack it up later :rolleyes:

If you need to borrow a car from somebody anytime google "car insurance 1-28 days" to find loads of companies that do short term insurance cover for borrowed vehicles.
