Travelling to Gremany in August and would like to rent a car. Have heard this is best done in advance. Can I do this over the internet? What are some car rental websites to check prices and book online?

Lou, <BR> <BR>This should get you started....... <BR> <BR>www.hertz.com <BR>www.avis.com <BR>www.dollar.com <BR>www.budgetrentacar.com <BR>www.autoeurope.com <BR>www.europcar.com <BR>www.nationalcar.com

Go to www.google.com & search for "rental cars xxxxxx", where xxxxx is the city you are going to rent in. You will get more websites than you can shake a stick at.

Rented a car in Germany in May through www.europebycar.com. They offered the lowest prices, along with Auto Europe. I found the hertz, avis etc quite a bit higher by comparison.

We're renting from Sixt in September: <BR> <BR>http://www.e-sixt.com/main.php3

Hi Lou! <BR>I took a car from National in Frankfurt for six weeks recently and was happy with the service. <BR> <BR>The cost for a compact manual with only 4000km on the clock was $23 a day including full insurance. After pre-booking on the Net, I picked it up as agreed at their city office and dropped it back there at the end. But I could have used any other of their many drop-off points throughout Germany. <BR> <BR>The only restriction was that I had to stay in the EU. It is worth knowing that it costs another couple of dollars a day to use more than one driver. <BR> <BR>Cheers <BR>Harzer

Could a rental be picked up in Frankfurt (via Nuremburg) and left off in Paris<BR>(via Normanday). I don't want to have<BR>to drive it back to point of entry.<BR>

Yes, Andy, you can pick up in Germany and drop in France, however, be prepared to pay a stiff dropoff charge.

We just booked a mid size( Renault Laguna, Ford Mondeo or Opel Vectra) for 21 days in Zurich through Budget. They were having a Sale which included all taxes, CDW & Theft for $593. That was considerably less then all the others.<BR>Worth a try!
