Car hire from site

On longer stays then rather than take the Motorhome off pitch to travel around the area then we're thinking of hiring a small car (2 adults + dog) that the hire company will deliver to site and picked up from site. Anyone know of a list of companies that do this across the UK or is it something we'd have to look into locally whereever we're staying?

Thanks in advance

Pete.

We use Enterprise through the club (10% discount) and if you book a long way in advance it can be as little as £90 for 8 days. You don't have to pay in advance either. In normal times they will pick you up from site, but we have found that if they are low on staff then they can't offer the service (Penzance said this to us for our booked hire in July). So i guess its a taxi ride there. Still cheap though at around £15 per day as we booked it a year in advance.

We also bought a separate  car hire excess insurance policy, only £35 for a year which covers UK and Europe. Whilst Enterprise give CDW free, the excess on any damage is usually very high and they charge you a lot per day if you want the extra cover. This policy covers that, we used Bettersafe.com.  Hope this info is helpful!

We paid the Enterprise additional insurance and it added about 33% to the bill. Getting elsewhere, if its cheaper, is probable the way to go.
