    Hi.

    I've never booked a hire car before in my life, its all a bit confusing to me tbh.

    Anyone recommend or know of a reputable car hire place, we'd be after a small economic 5 door with 2 x baby seats (10 month old and a 3 year old)

    Travelling from Luton to Southampton for a few days (the flights from Dublin to Southampton are stupid money tbh)

    Sept 7-9

    All help appreciated.

    Just back from Luton. Rented with avis, ford focus for 3 days £75. Have a look at carhire3000 and travelsupermarket for the best prices. Don't know anything about baby seats so can't help you there. Also the car rental facility is about 5 mins from the airport. When you walk out of the airport go to the bus stop with the sign 1A. theres a shuttle to the rental facility from there which is free and runs every 10-15 mins. From memory avis, budget, national, europcar and hertz were all located there in the same compound. Also don't buy the car hire companies zero excess insurance. It's about £15 per day extra. You can get it for €3 per day from carhireexcess.ie. are you using a credit or debit card?

    Also bring your own sat nav or borrow one. They charge crazy prices to hire them.
