    Flying into Paris Beauvais with Ryanair this June for 2 week holiday.

    Looking for best value online booking for car-hire.

    Ryanair partner with Hertz and it's not too bad but I'll bet one of you folks out there have spotted a better deal.

    There's a few sites around that'll check the various car rental companies available.

    Best I've found is Argus Car Rental. (www.argusrentals.com) usually about €50 cheaper than Hertz for a weekly rental. Register on their site for better prices.

    If you do gowith Hertz you should register for their gold card. It's free but they have a lounge for you at the airport, you get huge discounts, better sevice.(theres non of that waiting/queing to pick up the car, they have a special line just for gold club members) Not just that but they are also very flexible about up-grades once you get over there for no extra cost. I can't say enough good things about it. All of you should register because it simply is the best way to rent a car abroad.

    I would also recommending applying fro Hertz Gold Card or something similar with whatever company you end up with. In the past I always try to use a broker as they nearly always beat the prices on offer through the companies themselves. I have used Nova based in Co Down although been taken over recently and prices not so keen - their web site is www.rentacar-ireland.com, also try Holiday Autos based in UK, their prices tend to be very good. they will rent cars to you anywhere in the world

    you'll probably want to go for one of the 5 companies based at the airport, to avoid extra hassles and costs:

    Never heard of ucar before, so they'll probably be the cheapest :-)

    Family car for 2 weeks for 500 euro sounds good

    might want to make sure insurance etc. is included

    is there any (price) advantage to hiring now or closer to the holiday ?
    (I've hired dozens of cars in the past but always for business trips.. so never really plan in advance or even pay attention to the costs)
