Car Hire

Extensive use of Google and Tripadvisor for searches and forums threw up a couple of options.

One was a small company that rented out used cars at what was claimed to be a low rate. Tripadvisor correspondents were almost worshipping the guy.

In the end the rate was par for the course and when I emailed to see about the low mileage included, he replied and said that  his cars didn't leave the area. I won't bother to name the guy or his company, just leave him to his adoring followers!

That left the usual companies and a bewildering array of offers and what is, and more importantly, not included in the rental package.

In the end I opted for full-size with Alamo. This should get us a Dodge Charger or Chevrolet Impala or (please no) a Japanese option.

Of the two, the Charger looks like a muscle car, but probably it is emasculated!

At £305 for the duration it is quite cheap compared with UK rentals.

Now to read all the paperwork and see what top-up cover I need.
