I just had occasion to do that, because our car broke down just before our planned trip up in the mountains, and I wasn’t going to reschedule. Renting a car is not something I do very often, and certainly not around here. I was in luck - I’d ordered a smallish car, but the car in question still had winter tyres on, so I got a brand new station wagon for me and the brats - and all our gear - at the same price, of course… I like the new car feeling, and renting a car is probably the closest I’ll get to it in a very long time!
Anyway - I went the old route with my rental booking - via the Yellow Pages, since I needed the car that same day. With a little time to spare, I may well have gotten a better deal. At argusrentals.com, for example, there are thousands of car rental locations world wide - even here!
I think it would have been rather fun to book a car rental in my local town via a UK website - especially if I’d have got a better deal too…
Right now, they have great deals for Car Hire Spain - £11 per day in Alicante and Malaga - although I’d prefer to get out of the heat this time of year, and go to… say… Dublin, where I could have one for £12. Including unlimited mileage, which I didn’t get here…
Except, of course, for the fact that those weird Brits drive on the wrong side. Since closing your eyes while driving is considered bad form over there, I think I’d go for somewhere in mainland Europe.
My point? Eh - wherever you go, chances are you can rent a car from Argus. Happy Holidays!
