Cheap Car hire?

I always check rentalcars.com and holidayautos.com. Add excess insurance from direct-carexcess.co.uk (about £42 for an annual policy IIRC).

For just a week, can't you put up with public transport?

Short Term Car Leasing might be an avenue, there are a few companies out there including Thrifty and Short Term Leasing - You can get a Fiat 500 for £240 per month.

OK, thanks for the tips, everyone. The rental.com one was really good,in particular. You can hire a small car quite cheaply. It's all become very complex with where the new car we've bought needs picking up from and where the hire car places are. The kids and I cycled to school this morning (Yaaa! Ambition achieved) and it's cheaper / easier to use a taxi for a couple of journeys on Monday / Tuesday when I can then pick up the new motor.

Thanks again, everyone, it was really helpful

If you book via a booking agent then you may have limited miles. Book direct for unlimited (generally - check the T&C's)

Green Motion are cheap (Near airports generally) but make sure you have seperate excess insurance (regardless of any company you use)

Another vote for Carhire 3000. Have used them several times without a problem.
