    Because many are franchise businesses, it's best to read reviews of the actual location on google maps before booking.

    Good, also double check that the excess insurance policy includes for hire in the UK if you are a UK resident.

    You had me panicking! I went through Moneymaxim and their info said yes I would be but then I couldn't find it in the small print of the Insurefor.com policy so I have just phoned them and yes I am.

    I use Green Motion every week - never had an issue with them (Three different branches now for when I travel to work and have a car from a fourth depot local to me on the drive as the wife's car is in the garage been fixed).

    Book direct and not through a screen scraper and take a good video of the car to show any existing damage but that applies to most car hire companies.
