What this means if you are flying to United Kingdom
- Deposits vary more than prices do. From €585 to €1,120 held on the main driver's card. It is a pre-authorisation rather than a charge, but it has to fit — and a card limit is a harder constraint than a budget.
- Assume you will pay for a second driver. Between 100% and 100% of suppliers charge for one here, so a price quoted without it is not the price.
- Airport or town desk? We have not measured which is cheaper yet, so we won't guess. We are measuring it now and will publish the numbers.
