    I have always gone to thrifty via the web site as it is cheaper. Just taken a car back today to them. They have a weekend special from Miday Friday - Monday.

    Think it depends on where you live, but you could try

    My friend took a day long test drive in a new car the other day
    any garages near you which will do that?
    you could go round them all :rotfl: different car each day!
    :) If you see someone without a smile give them one of yours, :)

    :) It wont cost you anything! :)

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

    If you have a VAT registered business and company insurance then Total Fleet Services does sort term car hire.

    Hi moneyspender1981,

    I like these guys http://www.novacarhire.com to check for best prices. Something to watch out for is the insurance excess - a scratch can cost a fortune to repair on a new car etc. Most companies give the option to reduce or wave the excess. But find out first before you book, so you get the best price. ;)
  • Just buy a ready-taxed and mot'd shed and scrap it once you've got your new car.

    Much much cheaper.
