Never seen this before, with Kia, looks like a dealer may have gone bust!!??

From an asset finance company 23 models from Kia range, most less than delivery mileage, in BCA Belle Vue 21 June.

Clik in Auction View to our left.

if you want me to put a few examples in here, just ask!

Interesting to see how low the prices will be, 'cos they don't discount much anyway!!

Don't do it!

I had a Rio as a hire car once. Absolutely appalling.....

- I second that!

I just drove a Kia Rio rental car around Cyprus - it was totally knackered, with 27000km on the clock. Horrible car! Makes the Suzuki Liana (yuk!) I've now rented in Israel seem like a BMW in comparison!

Nick, I'm off the Israel in a few weeks. Which car rental firm did you use?

- I used SIXT's local agent, called Shlomo. I actually booked through Holiday Autos.com and they chose the rental company.

Car was fine. Had to pay US 27 dollars airport tax on returning it though, fyi.

Allow plenty of time when returning the car to the airport - the returns area is a long way from the new terminal and you need to get a shuttle bus.

Thanks, I knew about the tax at Ben Gurion. It's the same everywhere, but there they seem to make it a separate charge rather than build it into the price.

"US 27 dollars airport tax on returning it"

This is a new one on me, can someone clarify this? I took a car back to Avis in Reus Airport, Spain last week, full tank and spotless apart from a layer of road dust. Today I notice they?ve taken an extra 30 quid for themselves from my card? Could this be a tax or am I being ripped off?

Seriously angry.

You should be told in advance if there is a separate airport tax for car rental returns. This is to pay for the additional facilites which the airport provides to car rental companies.
