Holiday Autos Car Hire Review - Alicante

Posted by: Car Hire Reviews In: Holiday Autos

Went to Moraira last year and decided the next time we came we should hire a car from Alicante. Just got back from our hols and we had a villa in Moraira.

Hireing a car was the best way to get to and from the airport at Alicante and was very reasonable at £93 for a weeks, especially compared to a return taxi.

Our car was a Opel Corsa - Opel’s are the European Vauxhall’s - and it was ideal for the 3 of us. We didn’t go too far with the car, but it was ideal to pop to the supermarket and around town.

If you’re staying at your own villa or making your own way from Alicante, a hire car is definately worth considering.

Holiday Autos were very good too and overall we were very pleased with everything…. can’t wait to go back!

Hertz Car Hire Review - Dublin, Ireland

Posted by: Car Hire Reviews In: Hertz

Booked a trip to Dublin and booked a car rental to be picked up at Dublin Airport through Hertz.

Just me, the wife and our little un, so only wanted something about the size of a Ford Focus. Luckily, the Ford Focus worked out as one of the cheapest online on the Hertz website and at £114 for the week thought it was a good deal and booked it.

I’m not sure whether car hire in Ireland is popular, as the staff at the airports were very quiet. We were given the keys and I was happy to see the Ford Focus and it was plenty big enough for us.

The only downside is that I’m used to an automatic and this was manual. After a few crunchy gear changes, I got the hang of it and it was a breeze after that.

Our visit to Dublin was fantastic and if you want to explore more of Ireland, renting a car is the best idea.

I asked at the desk whether it was cheaper to book car hire at the airport directly and they said booking you car hire online was always cheapest and you had the pick of cars.
Worth remembering for future and you can book online at www.hertz.co.uk
