Help with Car Hire please?

We are going to drive through Europe in Mid July. We want to go for 12 nights and we need a 9 seater. We want it to be unlimited mileage, preferable diesel . I am looking to pay no more than £850- 900 for car hire.

Anyone have any recommendation please? Most cheap places I’ve come up with don’t let you take the car out of UK.

I would appreciate your help please

    Try carhire3000, they usually have the cheapest deals, from personal experience.

    You may also want to look at actually hiring the car in Europe as opposed to taking it across. Would probably work out cheaper.
