Last week I noticed that Easycar were running some offers on Italian car hire.Can anyone help me with car hire in Italy.
5-19 September
Pisa Airport
Compact 5 door with A/c (eg Nissan Note)
Best price: £344.24 with e rentals
Would be happy with a Nissan Note/ Focus / Astra or any other similar sized car with 4/5 doors and A/C
Thanks.
They've also got an active voucher code at the moment; enter FLIPFLOPS into the promo code box on their homepage, the discount varies according to location, but I think it's up to 20% off- Possibly worth a look if you've not already sorted something? :money:0 -

Hi
Can anyone beat this please?:D
Dates, departure airport and hotel cannot be changed, would be ok to fly on different flight/airline as long as it is either direct or connects in US (NOT europe). Also preferaby want to not have to pay it all up front. (this quote allows a deposit of £1890 now with the balance a few weeks before we travel - the hotel rate is a special rate so it was advance purchase everywhere else I looked)

I know this is a bit back to front but I havent really been able to get much in the way of consistent quotes- Im looking to go to Dominican Republic for a week/10days in the last two weeks of August, all inclusive. The cheapest I have found is 3* £670 for a week AI. Anyone know if that is any good? Would I be better off waiting for a last minute deal? I have 19 days to take a week off in.
