| 216.13 | Don't mention hiring cars. | FIZGIG::BIGGINM | | Tue May 26 1992 16:03 | 10 |

Don't talk to me about hiring cars, my car is in the garage today and
I couldn't quite manage to persuade any hire company to hire me even
their smallest car because I'm only 20. Miserable old sods!!
Sorry about the winge but it annoyed me.
Cheers,
MattB

| Matt, when we were coming over for the course, we had to wait an hour
at the Avis desk whilst they pondered whether or not to give us a car.
In the end our office sorted it with them so that I was actually
driving under Digital insurance.

| What I am about to note here may have been fact from way back when, but
it was news to me recently, so it may be to some of you as well.
I went to AVIS to hire a car for two days on the Digital rate. This
happened to be on a Friday and what this meant was... that I could have
a car for three days on the special AVIS weekend rate (all insurance
included) for 11 spondoolies less than two day hire on the Digital rate
(with only cdw included); I needed the insurance 'cos I was not on
company business.
A slight addendum to this: I was collecting the car from AVIS in
Fareham; the booking was made with the statement "I need a car for two
days at the most". At AVIS' discretion the receptionist then calculated
that the AVIS weekend rate would actually save me money; further if I
had returned the car after only one day's use AVIS would charge me the
single day's Digital rate... thereby saving me money once again.
Reargards,

| 216.18 | Avis mileage charge | BONNET::HARDY | | Tue Aug 10 1993 21:51 | 10 |
| Chaps,
The UK Digital deal with Avis now includes only 100 free miles per day.
After that it's 20 pence per mile extra (plus VAT). Beware of this if
you are planning long journeys.
This seems to apply for extended periods also, eg 1 week = 700 free
miles.

| Yes, I crunched into this the other week, I was quoted 22p per extra
mile. There wsn't any company wide announcement about this, and I now
hire cars as a private individual when i need them, which saves Dec
a lot of money, although I'm unsure how I stand if I damage the car at
all.

| 216.20 | Cheap Hire of Automatic Car ? | EVOA00::SAAD | | Mon Mar 11 1996 16:34 | 14 |
| Hi,
I am looking for an automatic car to hire for 2 weeks this summer
(June). I would like to pick it up at (or near) and bring it back to
(or near) Gatwick.
Does anyone know the name (and phone/fax) of a "cheap" car hire
that I could contact ?
Thanks in advance

Try Access Car Hire : 1734 452214
My parents used them last time they visited - I know they will take the
car to Heathrow, but don't know about Gatwick, and don't know if they
do automatics.
