• Car rental advice sought (for UK and Europe) 23 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  Then we're flying to Perpignan where the plan is to rent one for 2 1/2 weeks to look around the region while we stay at an apartment in Ceret, close to the Spanish border. While in Ceret we want to have a brief look at northern Spain and Barcelona. Around June 18 we will fly back from Perpignan to Manchester to hot foot it back to Cardiff for our return flight the next day. Questions are: 1. It seemed that cheapest rentals are in the UK, followed by France, then Spain, but recently it seems rentals may be cheaper in Spain, so does anyone know of a rental company that they would recommend, whether Spain or France?
• Hiring a car in Spain? Get a Kangoo 15 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Renault Kangoos are very under rated in this country I feel. Although I have never owned one, I did have one as a hire car once in Spain where they proliferate in agricultural areas, as many people will have noticed. The one I had was a very easygoing car to drive. Anyway left hand drive cars feel more natural to drive, I think. And by the way, when I arrived in Spain all I had done was book and pay for a basic sized car through Hertz rentals.
