Hire a car for a month or so

Andrea15

In about a month's time I might want to hire a car for a few weeks. I am not going anywhere, but we will need an extra car in the house, so I would use the hired car for my normal comings and goings.

I have had a quick search and there seem to be ok prices around, but what should I look for? Are there specific places/web sites I should go to?

Also, what about insurance? I used to have excess insurance, but I think that covered only up to a couple of weeks at the time max. Again, any advice on what to look for?

Thanks!

£45 for a month.

If it's for run-around duties, and you can plan ahead, have you checked if there is a car sharing scheme in the area that might suit?

I had not thought about it, and there is one here, but they charge £45/day or £6 an hour. I think I would end up obsessing over costs considering I would need it in order to work too...
