So your looking at £500 + fuel outlay - with about £150 coming back from my company mileage + the deposit- guess £130 for fuel being nice
I even looked at a smaller car for the 3 days I need then upgrade but that goes down as a one way hire for both cars and only makes it more expensive

I recently hired an Astra/Megane from Enterprise. Cost was £28.xx per day. I took 3-day accident waiver insurance from an independent company costing £9.99 for 3 days. The insurance cover was more comprehensive than the one provided by Enterprise as it reduecd the excess to zero. I was given a Megane 1.5dci which proved a really nice car to drive and returned 63MPG sitting at the speed limit on the M62/M6/A14.
Although I did pay an extra £28 for one-way hire.
