private car hire
Hello, I need to hire a car for about 10 days and I thought I might try private hire but I couldn't really figure out how it works. I have once hired a car via a private hire website in Germany and it was very simple and very cheap. But the UK private hire websites I found seem to be neither cheap nor simple, or was I looking in the wrong place? Of course it doesn't have to be private, I just thought this might be cheaper.
Could anyone tell me where to find good value (private) car hire and how it works?
Sorry for asking this question, I feel quite stupid, but I really could't find a good offer. I would be very thankful for any advice!
Thank you!

I'm guessing by 'private hire', you mean an private individual owner of a car prepared to loan it to you, for a period of time, for a fee?
The UK term private hire, will relate to 'minicabs' generally and not what I think you want.

We get a yaris hire car from toyota derby for £21 a day. They pick up and drop off too and don't screw you over on charges like enterprise. Imagine other dealers do it too.0
