What's the cheapest way to rent a car in the UK, for three weeks?

I have been looking at the rates to book online and was wondering if it would be cheaper to have my cousin book it in England and then pick it up after we arrived.

BOOK it ONLINE but go through the uk website i just found two national car rental companies

offering the three weeks for 400 gbp on a focus size

450- 480 for a mondeo size.Local office rates wont compete at 135.00 per week.

Hi,

Try this website:- http://www.nationalcar.co.uk/

I used them regularly when I was back in the UK, They do a pretty good deal and do airport pickup and drop off.

Just remember to specify manual or automatic gearbox!

You should be able to book it online yourself, for three weeks you may get a discount.

Good luck!

Booking locally in UK would be cheaper than online booking. Online booking normally carries a lot of conditions including strict cancellation rules. Since you have someone there, process it through him/her...and share your experience with us later...

My dear friend,

I can actualy say that you are the best one that can answer this question with your contact back there ;-)

For as long as you have someone there in the UK,

Let him ask around for prices and offers,

compare this to what you found on the net,

and you will be the best judge to which is the best.

Enjoy your holiday- drive carefully on the Left side of the road once you get there...
