I'm not a driver and don't have a clue, so need advise.


My parents are driving down to Devon to see my nan probably May/June sort of time. My mum is refusing to go in my dad's crappy old car, having broken down last year, and wants to hire an automatic.


They don't need flash, just reliable.


They'd be leaving on a Monday morning as early as possible, and getting back Friday afternoon.


Any recommendations on good car hire firms?

I ended up hiring a couple of cars up in Scotland last year as I couldn't face driving all the way up there! I can't recommend a particular company (though both the ones we used were fine), but I would recommend booking through http://www.travelsupermarket.com/ I was researching costs, and found that the same companies cost almost half if I went through travel supermarket!


For the first trip I didn't use TS, but booked directly through Atlas Choice, and they were fine. The second one I think we hired through holiday autos, but you get the actual car from a local company so it is a bit more of a lottery.

There's an enterprise car hire in Sydenham which I've always found cheap and cheerful. Used them recently for a one way hire to Cornwall because their one way rate was about half of the other firms which isn't always clear on the price comparison sites. Also they do free pick up/drop off if it's difficult for you to get to them under your own steam. Agreed - not a fan of National.

    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
