I have used Enterprise a lot in the past.
However I find there pricing policy goes up and up the closer to the time you want the vehicle. For instance today I wanted a van for next Tuesday -Thursday, £249.00 If I want it for the following week £169.00. So I hired else where for £150.00 for next Tuesday. They are a good company, but you need to talk to the sales people and not pay the price you see on line if in a hurry. Shop around, some of the less advertised companies will be more than happy to offer a deal. Also look at the insurance they offer, some have £1200.00 claim penalties if you don’t take out the much higher price. Wayne 110XS CSW TD5. |

Thanks chaps. I was doing some googling and there were prices from £22 a day to £2k for two months. I think you are right re having some off system dialogue with the various companies.
Cheers, |

For £2K can you not just simply buy a decent car and then sell once your done.......

Exactly that, hence the question really. It just seemed like a crazy £ for a couple of months.

Try Northgate in Banbury - we’ve had various vehicles from them for seasonal / short term hire and they are pretty sensible folks...

I just had a similar situation with my 90 away for repainting and the 110 build delayed. Rental car companies are one option but I ended up going via a lease company (Cocoon vehicles) who set up a one month lease on an Audi Q7. Pros- there's a lot of cars out there and certain models are in surplus. Cons- a bit more paperwork hoops to go through to get it set up, but worked out better for me over renting a similar sized car for a month.

I've used Holiday Autos regularly and they have always been good value, especially off-season when fewer people are 'holidaying'. It worked out cheapest to take a car for a week each time and renew rather than booking it for say 6 weeks in one go and their prices were always lower than going direct to one of the normal firms. 2005 Td5 110 Hardtop

Been mentioned already, but I would buy, use, then re sell it,
Even IF you lose a little it may still be cheaper than hiring ? |
