Can anyone recommend a car rental company?

Hi all

Need a car for a couple of days. I checked Enterprise and it was near £400 to hire a Focus type car for 2 days. I checked Skyscanner and got much cheaper options but had to pick the car up from Central London. Can anyone recommend what's the best way to get a cheap car rental?

    I usually check holidayautos.com and rentalcars.com.

    What details are you using on the website?   Just did a quick test and it said £195.96 in total to hire a Focus sized car
    from the 22nd to the 25th.

    Might help if you told us where you are (other than central London not being a convenient pick-up point!).

    Yes enterprise Focus sized car, think I put 22nd to the 25th. £195 and £204? Think it was £204, not sure why that one varied, maybe a
    different depot because I put sunday dropoff at first (24th) then changed it to Monday 25th.
