 Car Rental
With car rental rates amongst the lowest in Europe, driving is an option worth thinking about, especially when you consider that the cost of taxis to and from the airport will almost cover the cost of a weeks car hire. It is usually much better to arrange Car Rental before setting out, local agencies usually charge less than the “big three” – Hertz, Avis and Europcar. Beware of pricing quotes that appear to be cheap, check out what is really included in the price and what extra charges you may be liable for.
