LHR Car hire

[Boozy]

Hello all,

Looking for recommendations for a two week car hire in August for myself and the family. Does anyone have any good websites outside of the usual or car hire places that don't charge an arm and a leg?

I'm flying into LHR on Friday morning and car hire prices linked to the airport seemed crazy, due to meeting up with family/friends etc we ideally were looking for a 7 seater and nothing available much under 2.5k for the couple of weeks or so we are in the UK.

Looking a bit wider, I found www.vwfsrentacar.co.uk which is the short term rental part of VW Financial Services. Price for a Skoda Kodiaq from them was 1k for the couple of weeks, so way under half price of the airport players. They have bases in Slough or Brentford and I figured that even with the cost of a taxi there and back from LHR to their base, it was still very much on the winning side.

Obviously I'm saying this a couple of days before picking the car up, so other than the booking process have no direct experience, but can report back afterwards if either a good or bad option.

How long is the drive there?

Well aren’t you lucky!! Not sure my work has that but I’ll check.

Apparently we do have a discount code through work, 1000 bucks for two weeks for a seven seater through Avis, h0b0 I owe you one man thanks!
