    Gobbyash,

    Thanks for that, but how do you get one of the cards?
    It is not clear from the website!

    Thanks.

    I don't know but why don't you check the price on the website and insert the code. If it works, I guess, you could just take the risk that the guy at the pick up point at the airport terminal doesn't check or ask for your card as proof.

    If you say you forgot it, what is he going to do??

    Risky but tempting.


    Do you have to use Europecar??

    Where are you picking it up from/returning it and what dates??

    It is a one-way rental in France (Tours) on 1st May. It is a holiday like here and only Europcar or Hertz will be open after 1pm (I arrive at 1.30pm)!!!

    Its only the same as the Avis one I am sure you are suppose to have a card for some of those rates but they dont ask...If the saving is worth I would take the chance worst that can happen is they make you pay the proper rate which you would do anyway without the code
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel

    I'm surprised that the other car rental companies close at lunchtime even if it is a Bank Holiday!!

    One way rental?? Where do you return it??

    How many days car hire??

    What price have you been quoted??

    PS I've done a preliminary search on car hire from Tours at 13:30 on 1 May for 7 days and the cheapest is under £120

    I have been quoted £87 for 2 days - returning to Limoges.

    Avis is closed!!!
    They were my first choice.

    Thought I would bring you all up to speed, and help save a few pounds as well.

    Auto Europe seem to be connected in some way to Europcar:
    http://www.auto-europe.co.uk/
    However, they appear to only do a minimum of a 3 day hire.

    They instruct you to collect your car from the Europcar desk at the airport, and the vehicles offered by Auto Europe are identical to Europcar.
    They are always cheaper, sometimes by quite a bit.
    I saved over £23 even when booking for a 3rd day which I don't need!
    Their online quote is nearly always cheaper than phonng them as well.
    Hope it helps someone.
