Car rental rates, UK vs EU:
- In April, I hired a Seat Leon from Enterprise (Berkshire) at £64/day with unlimited miles
- In August, I rented a Citroen C3 from Europcar (Brussels) at €23/day with unlimited kms
Both are compact. One was much nicer to drive, and one was a goofy / fugly mini-SUV. I got ~500 miles to the tank in the Leon, and close to a 1000km per tank of diesel in the C3.
I paid an extra £25/day for extended insurance from Enterprise, not to haggle on curbage or scrapes at time of return.
I had signed up for extra protection on Booking.com but this was lost in translation at the Europcar counter in BRU when picking up the C3. They had put a €500 hold on my Canadian Visa, and did not accept my Monzo debit card as a payment card.
