Hi. You need to hunt around. Brits has insane prices for May 20. However there are dozens of other 3rd party suppliers.

Be like me, show no loyalty to anybody and opt for the cheapest (well established) supplier that offers free cancellation/amendments. Deals are out there.

Edit Auto Europe is riding on the crest at the moment.

Exchange rate then was around 1.46 now around 1.21 so some of the increase will be due to that.

And sometimes, you don't know if what makes you the happier is the price drop, or who you take your business to

for next august I had a booking for 1 month, I had made through Andy back in september last year
then begenning of june I found cheaper, so cancelled with Andy ... was a bit sad, but a quid is a quid, especially when there's a whole bag of them ...

and today ... lo and behold ... with less than 2 weeks to go, Andy is quoting £80 less for a STD SUV than I had paid last month on another site for an INT SUV

don't know if I was happier to take my business to this lovely gentleman or making a £80+free upgrade saving

bottomline, never quit checking and comparing

as long as the booking is on a cancellation penalty free site. It pays off. Litteraly.

Well done, exactly my point. Chop and change. Money in my pocket is what matters.

Don’t forget last time you hired a car the $ was 1.46, now it’s $1.24. Makes a difference to everything
