UK Car Hire for 22 year old

I'm trying to find hire a car for my 22 yo daughter whilst her car is being repaired. We are finding it difficult to find a company that will hire to people of this age.

Any pointers?

Thanks

    To help us narrow it down, who have you tried so far?
  • Enterprise Rent a Car should do it although they will charge an additonal fee for drivers aged 21-24.... failing that how about trying a local dealership/garage as they sometime do hire cars as well at fairly cheap rates?

    Avis is good, think their under 25 surcharge is £11 per day, think its around £43 per day plus the surcharge

    Thanks for all the pointers everyone. The requirement has since "gone away" but if it reappears, I now know where to look!

    Enterprise only rent to customers over 23.

    716070 is apparently a useful number for Hertz <coughs>

    Did someone say 20%?

    Then there's 10% Quidco as well......

    So that's 30%...if you get my drift?

    Every Little Helps is usualy associated with a supermarket, not a car hire company....
