Question Car Hire Deals?

I'm flying back into the UK from the US at the start of March, and I want to hire a car from Heathrow, anyone know any good deals on car at the moment?

I have been tempted by Avis Prestige who quoted £229 for 3 days rental of a Mini Cooper S - although Europcar do a Mini Cooper (not S) for £60 for days (total!) ... torn between thrift and swift!

Suggestions welcome!

I know you get a batter rate for >7 days - what kind of Megane are you getting for £210?

The Cooper S is classed as a 'Prestige Hire' ... I'd prefer something more prestige, but having been stuck with a much bigger bill!

1.6 IIRC although I think we have now hired a 2.2litre Vectra for £310 (£110 of it is to take the car abroad) for 10 days, think its via Eurocar hire....

If your staying in this country try Easycar (Easyjets version of car hire) theyre cheap too

Couldn't do much better than a Mini Cooper for £56.80 for 3 days so I went with this in the end.

Thanks
