Can anyone recommend the cheapest way to hire a car on holiday?

Question

We are going to Limoges, France in September. Whats the cheapest and best way to hire a car for a week? Online in advance? Or when we are at the Airport in france?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Literally shop around.  Make sure you go for the lower end of the scale, hunt out any sales, etc.

Answer 2

I would book it online in advance, as then you should be able to get a car without problems, and quite often companies like Hertz and Avis will give you an online discount.

Answer 3

Online should usually be the cheapest, OR the same price. But you will never save money by just ringing up or turning up at the centre.

Answer 4

I'd go for in advance.

Just looked at this site

http://www.auto-europe.co.uk/france

when you search for Limoges in September it gave a discounted price.

But don't forget there'll probably be a deposit too. I recently hired a car from enterprise in this country and never thought twice that they may ask for a deposit, it was £150, I had to borrow it!!

Answer 5

Well, often, the company who you have booked your holiday, or flight with will offer some good deals, but otherwise, its better to shop around to find a deal.

www.holidayautos.co.uk do offer some deals during the summer.
