How to Get a Good Deal on UK Car Hire

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.

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?
