One way drop off one car hire

I'm looking for a way to get from Gatwick airport to Leeds area in West Yorkshire.
I could use the train of course but that means going into central London which which I'd prefer not to do.
Does anyone know of a car hire company that will do a rental without charging a drop off fee?

    Have a look at Avis and Europcar, specifically for their own way airport rates. I know it works going to the airport, so I would assume it works the other way as well. If not both Avis and Europcar have offices at Leeds Bradford Airports since I have rented from there so you could say you were going to the airport anyway!

    Also Alamo, Hertz and Thrifty. Some have central Leeds locations if that helps.

    In reality it doesn't matter whether it's a 'drop off' fee - surely it's the overall cost that's the key point.

    I often do this journey albeit with company sorting the hire car so cost is less of an issue however unless you're into Gatwick very late then the Capital Connect from Gatwick to St Pancras and a quick trot across (or under) the road brings you out in Kings Cross -easy journey and far quicker than the drive

    As above-and it's cheaper then the Gatwick Express anyway. No tube transfer required.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
