    Watch out for the first aid and warning triangle 'scam'. (When u return the car they ask where they are (not having checked them in with you at the start) and then charge you £50 to replace them!!

    Also they offer free CDW and then say there is a huge excess - which you can insure for about £2 per day - and it covers virtually nothing (read the small print). You have to 'opt out' of this cover if booking online - then, if you change any details on your booking (eg add a 2nd driver) after getting your quotation, you find that it is put back in again. (Europecar - Bordeaux)

    Check and check your full booking details again before hitting 'purchase now'
