Well -- for one thing -- we generally pre-pay and all fees are included (like w/ autoeurope) Choosin

We would like to pick up our rental disneyland tickets cheap car at the Edinburgh airport, spend 10 days in Scotland, disneyland tickets cheap then drive down through the Lake District and Yorkshire, ending up in Sussex. After all that, we would like to return the car to Gatwick before heading disneyland tickets cheap into London for the last week of our trip.
Would this be a problem as far as the car rental -- lots of surcharges? If so, how could we break up the trip to still see all the countryside in between disneyland tickets cheap our start and end points? We don't want to take the train all the way south.
As Edinburgh is in the UK I dont imagine there would be alot of extra charges - maybe a one way fee but not a charge for dropping in another country. disneyland tickets cheap There will likely be surcharges for picking up and dropping off at airports.
BUT I hope that "We would like to pick up our rental car at the Edinburgh airport" doesn't really mean "we fly into Edinburgh after a 12 hour flight then we would like to pick up our rental disneyland tickets cheap car at the Edinburgh airport" as that is not a good idea.
As a general rule, there are no "away from original base" surcharges in Britain among the major operators, there are some airport disneyland tickets cheap surcharges for collecting and dropping off - but one-way disneyland tickets cheap hires exclude you from smaller local operators who might sometimes be cheaper.
But details vary by location, by car type, by company disneyland tickets cheap and over time. No-one on this board knows anything like as much about this as the websites of the hire car companies concerned abnd their main consolidators, like autoeurope
There are a number of car hire outlets in Central Edinburgh--all the major ones who will do a one way rental. They will usually disneyland tickets cheap drop your car at your hotel, or pick you up and take you to their office.
Edinburgh itself is not such a daunting place to drive. It's not like London with a sprawling city centre. It's fairly compact and doesn't take long to get away out of the city, so don't feel that you have to drag out to the airport, especially with luggage.
Janis - unfortunately one-way drop-off fees are becoming increasingly commonplace disneyland tickets cheap here in the UK. I just did a few sample checks with Europcar and Avis for the same duration hire, both returning to EDI, and returning the car in the south of England. The cost difference was significant especially in the case of Avis. I can't see what difference it would make whether you booked in USA or UK.
Well -- for one thing -- we generally pre-pay and all fees are included (like w/ autoeurope) Choosing a rental car often takes me longer than arranging flights because of all the permutations. I've found its usually cheaper to book from autoeurope or the stateside version of one of the majors than through the UK sites. Maybe the difference is the drop off fees.
