Looking for one way rental to France
We are looking for a one way rental of a car from either Amsterdam or Brussels for a week in Normandy (dropping at a ferry town). Any size restrictions recommended? Also would prefer a covered trunk, for obvious reasons. Two people and 2 suitcases.
Have tried autoeurope but can't get a oneway rate altho they emailed me they would. Anyone have experience with this?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Usually, Autoeurope will "advise" you that there may be a drop charge and if there is they will e-mail that with the final price quote within 24 hours. Is that what you are referring to?
I assume you feel you need the car between the starting point and Normandy as opposed to using one just to get there.
Have you tried calling Autoeurope on their toll-free number?

Are you from the US? Most national rental companies also operate in Europe, such as Avis, Hertz... you can get estimates online.
Other Europe rental companies:
Sixt
Europcar
Kemwel
Beware the drop-off fee for leaving car in different country than where you rented it. You could take a train from Brussels to Lille (or Paris), then pick up the car, since you really only need it in France.

Why not just drop the car as close as possible to the border and then take the train to France to pick up a new rental there?
In France, we like the Renault Laguna, a comfortable size for two. Covered trunks are becoming very hard to find, unfortunately--most rentals are now hatchbacks.
Telephone autoeurope rather than e-mailing and ask about the drop charge.
