I am searching for a low cost car hire company. She wants to pay a monthly fee under £200 ideally £150 or even less if that is possible. She is based in High Wycome in the South of England. Cost ideally including insurance, servicing and breakdown.

Any suggestions & weblinks to companies very much welcome.

    So she wants to pay £1800 per year for insurance, maintenance and breakdown with a car thrown in for free ?

    Next you will be saying she would prefer a BMW as well.

    Do you mean a lease car for 3 years or do you really expect a hire car with no catches for that?

    If its just for a short term then you need to consider your budget as being weekly, not monthly

    looking for about 6months. Lease or hire does not matter as long as my friend ends up with a car.

    You are still on the drugs to think you can get a car for £150 per month all inclusive - try that for a week.....

    Better off buying a 2nd hand car and selling after 6 months. Something large and french that no one wants. If you play it well might not cost you much more than insurance and petrol.

    As for new, no chance. Might be able to get a crappy chevy matiz for near £200, but its a crappy chevvy matiz.
