Where are you going? Holiday Autos are good and cheap, also, depending on where you're going EasyCar (same company as easy jet) are cheap too.

Mr.Manchester

still a bit expensive mate, im not payin £177 for a micra for a week when ive got the girlfreind mums micra sat in the garage for free!
Ive been on the easyjet sight and its £100 for a mercedes A class for a week.
but i need a Ford focus size car to go to sunny skegness in

buy a ****e car, call the RAC out if you have platinum and say the clutch's gone! then you get a hire car for three days!

You can hire my Lexus IS200 for £14,000, I'll even let you keep it afterwards

Sorry, don't know any places in the UK cheap, I only ever hire when I'm abroad. I'm surprised Easyjet was so expensive, they used to be £200 a month.

Thrifty were dirt cheap when I went through them. Got a basic Micra for £60 for the weekend!!! This was 2 years ago though, but the prices can't have changed that much???

Be careful with easycar. They have maasive excess charge. Had experience in work with Hertz recently where they tried to say carwas damaged(scratched) by hirer even tghough it was there when hired. Just thoroughly check any car before you take it.

Just hired a Renault 5 seater through Thrifty for 7 days...cost £134 with a £250 returnable deposit
Have used them before and theyre good

Mr.Manchester

ive tryed thrifty and youve gotta be over 25 and im 23

I was 21 when I hired a car from them. Maybe different branches have different policies. That's unfortunate for you, cos they're probably the cheapest.

Thrifty are good, I had a Smart through them for £50 for a weekend

Enterprise were doing good weekend deals- they usually advertise their rates in the nationals.
