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

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 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.

+1

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
