Rental cars

Is it just me or are rental car prices insane?

Looking to hire a car from Gatwick for a couple of days in the July (peak season I know). Sixt and Alamo all want well over £100/day for a Kia Picanto! Drivalia and National are a bit cheaper but some of thier reviews are horrendous, anyone used either?

Any recommendations for companies or booking sites besides www.rentalcars.com or www.holidayautos.com

I paid £35/day for a Polestar 2 from Hertz last year, but they seem to have stopped thier EV offers, and annoyingly thier desk at Gatwick closes at 8 pm. I hadn't realised prices fluctuated that much to make it worth tracking them and rebooking though
