Check that the insurances are the same - Virgin tends to only give the very minimum and expects you to upgrade - usrentacar I think includes better cover

I usually use carhire3000 as they often have cheap rates and full insurance cover and usually a free second driver

I think you are mixing up the cars you get with Virgin fly drives with the cars you get with a straight rental from Virgin
I rent from Virgin all the time and they come with the full insurance package we all expect

However fly drives don't.

thanks for the info

just been looking all around the internet for prices on hire cars and the best price is virgin hire cars at £392 for a rav4

cancelled the usrentacar which they wanted £505 for the same class of car

but with virgin you have to pay in full for the car cant just give a deposit

Thats correct, money up front!
You get Flying Club Miles as well, couple of thousand so well worth having!

Just a quick question - if you book the car through Virgin, can you still do savetime/online check in/skip the counter?
