I have been browsing the web for car rentals in Avignon for Aug. I have found a decent price (I think) at www.carhire4less.co.uk; about $400US for 13 days. The cars listed are either a Citroen C or Citroen Xsara. The car supplier is Alamo. Has anyone had any experience with either of these cars or these companies? Or does anyone have any other suggestions? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Check out www.autoeurope.com for a price comparison. The price you quote seems inexpensive, though, compared to prices I've paid for pickups at the Avignon station in recent years. I've never been routed through Alamo, though, so I don't know. Make sure your car has enough trunk space for your luggage and that all insurance is covered by your credit card or you pay for it as an extra.

the Xsara is fine, bigger than a Civic but smaller than an Accord. <BR><BR>400 for 2 weeks is good.<BR><BR>you'll likely pickup at the TGV station, there are a bunch of companies in a little trailer right outside the station.

Thanks to StCirq, Powell and Flygirl for your information. Just to let you know that all of it was greatly appreciated!
