Car Hire for the weekend
Does anyone know of any businesses locally where I can hire a car for this weekend?
I don't need anything flash (2nd hand is fine as long as it is road legal and cheap).
I just need something for the weekend whilst my car sits on the driveway before being collected on Monday to be fixed - head gasket, radiator need replacing; and just after Christmas - what joy!!!
I would like ideally to give a local firm (Hertford/Ware) my business rather than give my hard-earned money to one of the multiples.
Thanks.

I've used Enterprise Car Hire in Caxton Hill a couple of times in the past. Found their rates to be reasonable with some small economy class cars. Don't think they use secondhand. Their hire terms are normally from mid-day to mid-day, and they will collect you from your home address, and take you home again at the end of hire period. I believe, that in addition to your D/L you will need two pieces of I.D (utility bill, bank statement etc) one of which willneed to have a photo if you haven't got photo D/L. Google them for more details. They will take a deposit from your credit card which will be refunded if car OK when returned

My tip to get the best rate is to call them to check prices, then check on the website, as there can often be quite a big difference. They aren't a nice local business though, they are a huge multinational.
