One small detail which I did not like during the internet booking of the car rental was, that it was always my intention to return the rented car at a different location. I was not informed thaere would be an extra charge for such a privilege (even though the rental company has depots at both the pick up and drop off locations) until after I had gone through the whole process and confirmed my instructions to proceed with the booking. These "hidden" extras should be clearly expressed during the booking process at a much earlier stage.

I found this review helpful because...We are also dropping off in different location and would be looking out for the extra charge.

Agree with above. Our apparently economical care hire ended up on almost 3 times the cost we had paid at the online booking stage

I agree with this, same applies to optional extras which you can select at time of booking but you don't have any idea how much they are going to cost.

Also found I had to phone to find out extra driver charge, but even so they were £100 cheaper than Economy Cars for a long duration rent. They snootily informed me they do not price match!

had the same problem and then used www.carhire3000.ie.
they even called to inquire if the drop-off charge that occurs was ok and if i would still endorse the rental. so all good.
