Car-hire with Ryanair?

[Jenroy]

We use insurance4carhire.com who are very reasonable.

Thanks, this is the company that we are using at present, they have a max ins cover of £2000, we are trying to hire a classic car in June for a special occasion and they will not cover it, we have asked if we could pay a higher premium but no! So hope that, the members that are using the £70.00 annual fee could say who they are with as it may be a better cover.

I'd recommend Car hire UK, USA, and Europe - Compare cheap car rental prices worldwide.
Scan through results, and check out the actual car rental company.
We've booked many times, and often get a better price for Hertz cars through Expedia. Usually cheaper than Hertz via Ryanair (and always cheaper than Hertz direct!)

And now I have my confirmation to produce at the car hire desk, and guess which desk it is - Hertz

Oh wow and here I was thinking I had checked all the options I only compared prices with the other usual ‘suspects’ e.g. Avis, Budget, Sixit etc

That's is funny...having to call at the Hertz desk

With all of these agency sites watch the extras. Road tax is a favourite - you think you have got a better deal and then they slap road tax on at around €4 a day when you go to pick up the car. As always check the small print!! The other thing to consider with booking through agents is that they often strike short term deals with certain companies. This means when you arrive at the check in desk there is a long queue as everyone is with the same company as they have the deal that month. Next month it will be another company and a different long queue. There is an answer - get a loyalty card with as many companies as you can - we have 5!! so we ain't that loyal but at least you can then jump the queue! I use my Hertz when I book Ryanair carhire and go straight to the desk I think its called priority collection and its free

I have used them before, they are ok. I suppose your only issue is if you want to complain to them, you are unlikely to have much joy! The car hire companies arent a lot better, so you may as well go with price. There are comparison sites about too.

Hi,
We use hire Herz via Ryanair everytime we go to Italy and mostly from Ancona. Can positively recommend it, no problems.

we used auto europe and ended up at the Avis desk - see my previous post about being sent off without proof of insurance though - I still need to follow this up to ensure I don't get a huge fine in 10 months time. Not the car hire company itself, they all do it, just check your documents (and the dents on the car etc)
