Best place to book car hire abroad?

Options
Having a nightmare trying to book a car from a car hire company that will let you travel across Europe! I don't suppose anyone knows of any car hire companies that will allow you to cross borders! It's a shame there's no goto site where you can find car hire companies based on location, there's an idea!

Help! We go away on Sunday night! :mad:
Be happy :j

    Europcar are fine with you taking cars to most places in Western Europe but they charge extra

    EDIT:
    Cross Border Rentals & Territorial Restrictions

    Vehicles may be taken abroad but renters will be required to purchase the Europdrive Package.The Europdrive Package is only available to purchase at the counter and applies to vehicles going to the Republic of Ireland also. Any vehicle rented (irrespective of insurance cover) requires written permission from Europcar by means of obtaining a completed VE103 form prior to departure. Countries which you are allowed to travel to are:

    Andorra, Austria, Belguim, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Litchenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

    Vehicles may not be driven into any countries outside those listed above.

    The following vehicles are not allowed to be taken overseas: PDAR, PWAR, LDAR

    Please be advised that due to a change in the law in Germany it is mandatory for all vehicles crossing the birder into Germany to have winter tyres fitted during the Snow & Icy conditions. Customers will be fined on the spot if they are stopped by police and found to not have the appropriate winter tyres. Europcar UK do not supply

    winter tyres and any customer wishing to fir winter tyres must do so at their own cost and ensure

    that the rental vehicle is returned in the same condition as supplied without winter tyres.

    1 - 2 day = £37.49 / 3 - 4 day = £45.83 / 5 - 7 day = £62.49 / 8 - 13 day = £87.49 / 14 - 20 day = £99.99 / 21 - 28 day = £108.33 / 28 - 34 day = £116.66 / 35 - 41 day = £124.99 / 42+ day = £133.33
    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

    In which country country do you want to hire, and what borders do you refer to?

    A car hired in continental Europe can normally be driven anywhere (except to Morocco, Albania etc) without extra charge, there being in effect no borders.
