Jeff Salway writes about top saving tips for your holiday and says

“Car rental costs can vary hugely bet­ween country and supplier, making it essential to shop around. Analysis by iCarhireinsurance.com of costs in some of Europe’s most holiday destinations found that in the first week of the Scottish school holidays, families could pay double the amount they need if they choose the wrong option.

For example, the cost of hiring a car for a week in Tenerife ranges between £89 with Budget and £129 with Sixt. Hiring an Astra with Sixt in Faro will set you back more than £470, more than twice the cost of the same car in the same place with Hertz. The extras can vary significantly too, particularly adding extra drivers or renting a child’s car seat.”
