Budget car hire through Expedia.

[Samaya]

Is this a good price?

Through Expedia.co.uk and only over the next few months with Budget.

Example rates from £91.41 for economy through to mid-size SUV for £115.60 per week less 7% through Quidco. Don't think it includes Easter.

Anyone found a better price for an SUV or a recent bad experience with Budget?

Many thanks.......

What dates you looking for?

I'm checking every so often for later in the year.

As above, what dates? Just checked my dates, for 16 nights they want £324 with Budget
Can get it for £282 less 11% elsewhere but personally I won't use Budget again. Rented with them 3 times and none were great, rather pay a few £ more and use another supplier.

ETA Holiday Autos have 20%off + 9% Quidco sale tomorrow. Might be worth a look. I dislike HA not knowing which rental company until after you book but if the price is right I might be tempted, last sale everyone got Dollar cars.

Many thanks and offer only seems to be on for a few months, we looking for March 8th and a 7-night rental works out with Budget at £115.60 per week less 7% through Quidco, so with fingers crossed at £107.50 per week and so far that's the cheapest we found for March.

Might wait to see HA sale but a quick check on current rate is £147.67 so after 20% plus 9% it works out at £109.36 a week.

What size car? I am not seeing your prices nearest on Expedia is £116.44 for a midsize car. If midsize that should be under £100 for a week.

SUV would be slightly cheaper with eBookers/Budget at £110.96 less 6% Quidc0 = £104.30

Thanks Wayne but I must be doing something wrong as I'm getting a price of £117.94 as the base rate through ebookers with Budget for midsize SUV?

Its a nightmare sometimes trying to get prices. Maybe clear cookies & history, no idea. Have a look and see if I have used the same search info.

Just had a thought, you are not looking via an iPad are you? they can give higher rates for some reason (they must think iPad owners have more money) I have just checked via the ebookers android app and its showing at £124.66 on there.

Not an ipad but it is an old MacBook and some good deduction (Sherlock) Wayne, you could well be on the right track.

Can't see the T&C's, sometimes certain dates are excluded.

Quote in post#4 yesterday was £147, today its £129

Mine for July yesterday was £347, today its £295

Both less 9% cashback.

I checked my April dates and while the basic has been reduced the Gold hasn't so it doesn't work out any cheaper for us as we need 2 drivers
