Hi, off to visit my Dad in France on 31st July with the kids, best friend and my sister with her kids and need to hire a car from Limoges airport. Dad's doing an airport run as well so I need a car for 5 people but the boot doesn't need to be too spacious as I've also got his boot and we don't take much.
The cheapest I've seen for an economy (clio or similar) is £213.76. I only need the car to drive for about 2 hours each way to the airport and a couple of short runs to the shops so want to spend as little as possible.
Does anyone know of anywhere to get better deals or discount codes?
Thanks

we used holiday autos for ours from Nice last summer ,try using www.travelsupermaket.co.uk ,it gives you a list of suppliers and prices.
just be aware no matter what you book and even speak to someone about to make sure they have availability you will only get what they have at that time and a big Gallic shrug to go with it.
We specifically requested and paid extra for an automatic and it was only because the guy in front of us in the queue rejected it as too small that we got the car we booked ,it was the only automatic at the depot and they were going to give it to someone else even though we were there at the time and place we had booked,sorry rant over, car hire in Europe sucks compared to the USA
