    Who do I go to for a car rental?

    Wotcha!
    I'm going back to the UK this summer and I need to rent a car from Heathrow for about a month. Who does forces discounts on car rentals folks? Who's best to go to?

    Any advice would be gratefully received.

    Cheers!

    Or try a small local firm, maybe outside London.

    Just Googled www.Forcescarhire.com

    No idea what they're like but seems to have plenty of choice.

    I have just hired a car from National car rental for 4 weeks, pick up and drop off at heathrow. They don't do military discount, but at £538 for a VW golf it was cheaper than forces car hire.

    Dunno how they compare but I have used carhire3000 for about 5 years now and have found them to be reasonable and importantly they are huge, therefore, reliably connected all over the world if needed.

    Well sometimes these 'deals' are at an inflated price to start with, i'm always wary of any discount scheme.
