Cars in the U.K.
 

We are looking to hire a larger car for travelling around the U.K. we are two couples and our luggage - and one of the men is 6 ft 4 so he needs some leg room!!!!!! Any suggestions as to what is the best available for driving around for a month would be much appreciated .

Something like a VW Sharan Deisel Auto might fit the bill. Decent mileage, plenty of cabin space and good luggage space.

You can't specify a make of car.

All you can do is specify group E or above, and put the big guy in the front

Actually something like a Renault Kangoo would fit the bill too. Two of my sons are both 6'3-4" tall and they fit in the back of mine, though obviously they are more comfortable in the front. Lots of baggage room too.

do what Flanner said

ditto what flanner and sheila say . .

You are not guaranteed a specific model. They all say something like >>VW Sharan [insert any car name] or similar<<

So just make sure you book the <u>group</u> of car you want.

Avis has given me good prices both at Heathrow and Gatwick.

Something the size of a people carrier - seats for 7 and no luggage or seats for 4 and luggage space.

You also get lots of cup holders and cubbyholes to put things in to keep them safe - then forget where the cubbyhole is

When we were 2 couple with 2 tall guys we rented a Mercedes ( C only) and those you can reserve in advance.

But - we were very disappointed - the engines in europe must be different than in the US - since the car had zero pick up (getting onto a highway was always an adventure).

We always do Avis or Hertz - since we get special corporate discounts at both.
