flukey-lukey Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hey everyone. I'm off to Irleland (Galway bay in the south west) in September and will be flying into Shannon airport. Been looking at some hire cars for the week for around £140 for the likes of a ford fiesta/focus etc. Problem is they all seem to want to charge an extra £10-15 per day because I'm not 25 (I'm 24). Just wondered if anyone had used any company inparticular and found them to be reasonable? edit: and an extra £40 for a bloody child seat... scamming gits!

flukey-lukey Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 A ford focus is going to cost £163 for the week + £40 for a child seat + £10 per day yound drivers surcharge (£70) so £273 for the week.... which I think sucks big time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimojameso Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hire cars are a joke in the uk! How much for a fiesta? When i was on holiday in the states last year it was £145 for a week of me hiring a mustang convertible. Said i could have a free upgrade to a Corvette too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
