UK Car Hire Madness

[BKKBike09]

To add to all the travel misery, anyone needing to rent a car in UK these days is in for a shock. Shortage of cars generally mean that rental prices are insane. 

 

I had to rent a car in Inverness when I was last back in April: £980 for 4 days from Sixt (the cheapest available) for a manual Skoda Octavia Estate or equivalent (ended up with a Kia of some sort that wasn't ready at the booked time, so spent an hour waiting ... but I digress).

 

Thought about renting from LHR on my next trip back later this month but, f#*k me, I only want to rent it, not buy it!

 

"BUDGET' (great name guys).

 

 

Hertz ... pay at location prices add another 20% or so.

Oh dear.

 

Better to buy and with this inflation, in a month, you make a profit, selling the car.
