Howdy all.

Next weekend I'm helping some friends move house in Glasgow. They're tenants so they don't have much, but we'll need a car.

CityCarClub have just popped up in Glasgow and I have some promotional credit to try out their services (and if you want some too, enter code GWL347 when you join before 31/10/2010). Sadly (just like their well established Glasgow competitors) they've neglected to bring any vans to Glasgow so we have to choose between either a Toyota Auris hatchback or a Toyota Prius hatchback.

The Prius is slightly more expensive (about £20 more over 24hrs). However looking on What Car? website I can't really tell which might be bigger, if either.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks!

    Prius has the largest boot capacity, Do you not know anyone with an decent sized estate car?

    A mondeo estate has nearly 150 Litres extra capacity.

    Auris 354L capacity, Prius 408L capacity, Mondeo Estate 540L capacity.

    Why not hire a van?

    I haven't done too much searching but here is one to get you started:-

    £30 for 4 hours, might be quicker and less hassle.
