How to Get a Good Deal on UK Car Hire

PositiveBalance

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure if this is the place to post this question, but I have some friends visiting and I need to hire a car for 5 days. I have never done this before, so was wondering if anyone had any tips on getting a good deal as it looks quite pricey from my investigations so far.

Many thanks in advance.

What type of car do they need?

Would a car-sharing platform offer a suitable alternative to conventional car hire?

Hi @Grumpy_chap - no, there are 5 of us, three adult sized. Regular car rental required.

It's a lot harder than it used to be to get a good deal. Are you doing straight to Hertz and friends or searching using aggregators like holidayautos.com and rentalcars.com?
