April 2017 Spain Car Hire

Just discovered a great way to save £££'s of a 2 week car hire in Spain.
I need a car from 08/04/17 to 22/04/17 costing £238, but if I hire from 06/04//17 it's only £55.
Can I contact hire firm week before and amend flight time from 6th to the 8th as flight changed and save myself £183 ?

    £55 is far far too cheap, who is that with?

    The saving is all in your head............You will NEVER hire a car in spain for 2 weeks £55 all in...............or £95 all in .........or £195 all in thru a broker, i suggest your check the forums on car hire and the extra charges you WILL have to pay when collecting your car.
    Political?....I dont do Political....well,not much!
  • Your 100% correct "Its not in my head but in my confirmation e-mail €64.24 on 19/03/16 and even got free wi-fi.
    Just this time I want to hire from 08/04/17 .which is more expensive.
    So if I take it from 06/04/17 save ££££'s or €€€'s easy.
  • Its very cheap rate. Your are so lucky for that hire a car in this rate.

    Dont be so shy, just tell us who with? and will there be any more to pay when you pick up the car?...........petrol ok........but there are many more "extras" you pay direct at the pick up point.

    So,last year you paid a total of 64.24euro for 2 weeks car hire in spain..........................and your moneysaving tip is.......book two days earlier..................I just find that much to hard to believe.
    How about some facts to your fantasy.

  • Sorry Antenna, my question was I need to hire a car from 08/04/17 to 22/04/17 costing £238, but if I hire from 06/04//17 it's only £55. I want to book NOW, if I book it from the 6th April instead of 8th I'll save£183.
    My original question was can I contact hire firm week before and amend flight time from 6th to the 8th.
