Re: Car Hire

Post by destroyer »

Hi alf,
Slight tangent, but could you advise Atlas's fuel policy? Their rates look competitive but it isn't clear from their site whether they are operating a "collect full, return empty" policy, or if a fuel deposit or other extras are applied. I've always used another company but have grown a bit weary of the pretty grim cars they've taken to supplying - however, I do know where I stand with them in terms of not being ambushed for additional costs at the airport.
Many thanks.

Hi Destroyer, just put in the notes when you hire that you will only use companies that offer the "fair fuel policy" I have never had a problem & i have been hiring from them for 4 years. You will probably be aware of the Gold Car company which is one to defo to steer clear off.

Could be the one we dropped off on Thursday. Registered in April 2014. Unlike the previous Clio we had from Travelrent this one was pretty economical.

No. we had 05 OP 11. Travelrent do not seem to have updated their fleet until recently. Our last few hires have all been 2 to 3 year old Fiat diesels, all of which have been excellent.
