Hi

Have you tried www{DOT}usrentacar{DOT}co{DOT}uk

Having spent the last hour going through the major sites ie Hertz,Avis, Dollar, Budget,Enterprise I find that at the moment Hertz are offering the best prices for prepayment for the dates Im looking for in Feb, they are about £15-£20 per week cheaper than anyone else. www.hertz.co.uk .Hope this helps

When I'm hiring a car fir the USA, I always use a hire car broker (eg airline network, usrentacar, frloridacarhire etc etc) rather than going direct to the hire companies, as to date, I've always got a much better deal.

Also, if you do go direct to a US car rental company (e.g hertz.com) you won't get anywhere near the same level of car insurance that you would get with a UK car hire company (e.g hertz.co.uk).



p.s after doing a quick check, hertz were over £200 dearer than usarentacar for my upcoming trip.

good find - I'd never come across them before.

For my trip (to the Pacific coast), usrentacar came out quite a bit cheaper than fifteen02 - it just goes to show that shopping around can save you £££££'s.

I just checked out that site https://www.fifteen02.com to make sure the price wasn't cheaper than the rate I booked with Carhire 3000 for our trip to Philadelphia and the same car group/car with dollar was £100 MORE on the fifteen02 site! I think I'll stay with the booking I have heh.
I would give them a try https://www.carhire3000.com and see if you get a better price for your trip.

I also always check with carjet.com (usually for our trips to Spain) and https://www.travelsupermarket.com, https://www.airline-network.co.uk when I book car hires. I don't think we ever booked directly thru a company though (Hertz, etc.) because personally, I find it much easier to understand what's included and no hidden fee's etc. on the sites I mentioned and use.

we've always found the best deal with www.yescarhire.com

Thanks.

Sure, an American website, set up to sell directly to Americans will (generally) not include insurances in the quote - it will be literally be for hiring the car only, as, generally, US personal car insurance will cover rentals as well.
Whereas, a UK based site will (generally) quote you a fee with the relevant insurances included.

However, if you go to a US site and it asks you for country of residence, (UK), then check VERY CLOSELY for exactly what is and what isn't included.

As an exersise I have just compared my rental for later in the year with this result.
I am hiring a Dollar car via USrentacar, and it is over £200 cheaper via USrentacar than hiring exactly the same car via Dollar.com direct. Interestingly enough, the same deal via dollar.co.uk is still over £80 dearer than I'm paying, plus they are a bit 'woolly' over the one way hire charge.
