Do UK car hire companies charge for early returns?
I am wanting to hire a car in the UK from Heathrow between 16th July and 13th August this year. When searching for quotes they all come in around the £1,000 mark for the smallest car. However if I search for 16th July and 15th August, the quotes come in around £550! Two days longer, £450 less! If I simply return the car…

Selling Foreign Currency?
For various reasons I've collected quite a bit of unusual currencies over the past few years and while I could just hold it and hopefully spend it at some point it's getting to the point where there's probably two or three grand accumulated so I'm thinking that maybe it might be better to sell it.

Pre book transfer from airport to hotel (return) or get an Uber/Lyft.
Looking at roughly $180 return for booking transport to/from airport to hotel, looking at Uber and lyft and it's approx $35 - $40 one way, so will be half the cost of booking the transport. 5 adults and 1 child (10) each with a suitcase, so has to be XL to cater for us.Anyone have experience of this. Thanks you

Now I am home, they have made a charge to my credit card for 300 euros - when I queried this, they say it was 37 minutes late being returned. They apparently give…

EasyJet variable hold baggage charges
I am new to the forum. I have read some of the posts concerning the above but thought my very recent experience may prevent forum members from paying what I consider hard to justify charges for hold baggage not booked with flight tickets immediately on release of the flight schedules. MSE normally gives advance warning of…
