Flights, currency & car hire

Planning to rent a car from Minarent in Malaga this summer. Used them before without issue. Noticed on their T&Cs the following: Please note that if you do not have an EU driving licence you will need to bring an international driving permit along with your original licence to rent the car. If your driving licence is…

Good morning all, can someone point me in the direction of somewhere with a good exchange rate for America please? Hoping for 1.24 from somewhere cheers 

Today we are going to get some euros for our holiday to Rhodes. We are going to get £150 worth just to cover hotel taxes and any spends for first few days. We are all inclusive so won't be purchasing inside the hotel. We are staying not too far from the old town which can be a short bus ridr or an hours walk. Then the plan…

I’ve booked a holiday through Love Holidays for July. My original flight time was 6.40am. I noted the other day that the flight has changed to 17.15, arriving at 22.50. My return flight now leaves at after 11pm and arrives early the next morning. I’m not happy to travel at this time. I purposely booked an early flight. I’m…

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

I had a holiday booked through Last Minute with a British Airways flight down to London and a connecting flight to Amman Jordan on Royal Jordanian. The BA flight was cancelled and BA refused to do anything, saying contact travel agent, while Last Minute via thier chat said they don't deal with any changes taking place…

I recently paid £105 for 3 days car hire through AVIS. I dropped the car off full of petrol, no damage, had to wait a bit for them to sign it off but all was OK. 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…

Short version. My return flight to London from the Gambia via Morocco was booked via Flightcatchers - all flights on the same ticket.The first leg of the return flight was changed from 25 April to 26 April by Royal Air Maroc (RAM). No problem, I thought. However, I've just discovered that they have not changed the date of…

I'm a bit shocked, I've just done an 'eligibility test' and got this result for the Barclaycard Rewards card. I do have a Barclaycard I use and pay off regularly. I've got a 50% chance of being accepted on the Halifax Clarity. Does anyone know if the criteria for travel cards has changed? 

Evening everyone. Apologies if this is not in the correct forum but I am a little unsure of where it would live given the choice. I am relatively new to points, cards, and rewards and currently have only a Business Platinum Amex Card to my name (Outside of 'bank accounts' and debit cards). It's always been my dream to…

Hi - does anyone have any experience of using this prepaid debit card? It claims to give 3% cashback on all overseas spending, yet it charges a 7% foreign exchange fee. Thanks

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…

I’m thinking about hiring a car from the airport to use for a few days on a Glasgow visit. My daughter will be driving. It’s a long weekend visit and will involved family visits over the few days so a car would be handy. I’ve searched and Booking.com came up with very cheap deals but mentions shuttle bus which I think I…

Planning a trip in June. Any recommendations who to hire with? Havent hired a car for years.. 

Any recommendations for car hire companies? Tried one local firm but they fully booked. Haven't hired in Europe for years. 

Hi, I was unlucky enough to fly with Lufthansa. 48 hours before flight which was a connecting flight LHR to FRA to JFK it was cancelled. I was rebooked on a new flight LHR to Brussels to JFK. On the flight to Brussels I was told my connecting flight to JFK was cancelled less than 3 hours before flight. I was rebooked…

After a dalliance with a rewards credit card some years ago, I have about 150,000 Avios now sat in a BA "Executive Club" account, following the end of the Avios programme. I'm now getting emails telling me that they will expire if I don't do something with them, so I started to look. The thing is that I live in the…

Anyone have experience with Clarify Car Hire? It is not mentioned in MSE for cheap car hire. I searched for a quote for a car hire excess insurance through MonyMaxim, and I received a £50 voucher to be used at Clarify. Are they OK, is it a legitimate company? Thanks.

We had flights booked for 26 December 2021, but they were cancelled due to covid restrictions. BA gave me vouchers as said I did not qualify for a refund, I know this as I have asked for a subject access request. I have been unable to use the vouchers, which run out at the end of September 2023 and have also since found…

I have used several apps in the past to research flight such as but not limited to skyscanner, Kayak etc. but presently cannot see a method to do a generic flight take off time. Any ideas to do this? I aim to fly to Europe for holidays during daytime hours but not jetting off ( or back) before about 9 a.m. and also not…
