  • I have found the SkyScanner.net site very useful particularly the graphical presentation and it does include Easyjet.

    I've found booking car-hire via the Ryanair link (Hertz) gave me the best price by far.
    2 weeks in Italy - in a Ford Focus estate = £340 and that was in August!. I couldn't even get close using the 2 sites in your links.

    Haven't stopped looking though!

    I got an absolutely stonking deal with AmericaCarHire.co.uk

    It may not be the best deal for where you are going but it is certainly worth checking out (it was that good a deal that i emailed and confirmed the prices!).

  • Hi. I used https://www.DoYouSpain.com last year as this was the cheapest i could find. We got upgraded & had an excellent Ford Focus. Booked again this year and price is cheaper than those listed on flightchecker page. (There's also a voucher for 25% off next year). Service is great & several extras such as child booster seats are included foc. Also happy for extra drivers foc. No deposit required. Pay on arrival using visa card or similar (Probably best to use Nationwide debit card I believe). One word of caution..check the fuel arrangements. It seems to be different in different locations & you could end up paying for fuel you don't use. ( Iknow it's cheap in Spain but could negate any savings on car hire.)
    Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!

    The cheapest Hirecar Website that I have found by far is Carjet.co.uk

    I don't see any Danish airports on the FlightChecker such as Copenhagen. I have tried the Standard Flight Comparison Services and the likes but I'm not quite sure exactly when the offpeak season starts so I can find cheaper flights.

    Can anyone help??
