Looking to rent a car in early december for a weekend but it has to be able to take 4 average sized adults and a little bit of luggage.

I can get a Ka/Equivalent for about £30 for the whole weekend. Will this be big enough??

We will likely have a 4hr drive at one end and a 2-3hr drive at the other and they will be around 1.0litre which i know will struggle even when empty but meh, doesnt bother me more bothered about all squeezing in!

Anyone got any experience before i head over to the local fraud dealership and have a nosey to maybe save me a trip??

An extra £5 gets me a polo but is there much diff in size?? FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

A Ka , jeez you would need to be this size to get 4 in one of those , as for luggage you must be having a Laugh Will



A polo is not that much bigger , better than a Ka i suppose ….

Why not just get a decent sized saloon .. ya cheapskate …

Goes from £30 for a weekend to £240+!!

Its a one way rental which is why its so high

And hey i look up to the umpa's!! PMPL

Seriously there's only 2 tall people going and flying aer lingus i doubt we will have much luggage for 2 days  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Try these two websites, they are cheaper than going to the rental car agencies directly. Note there can be a big price difference between the two for certain countries (namely Holland and Sweden) as I found out this week !!

As for a Ka, no way you want to sit in one of those for a while with four small guys even. I noticed quite "sizeable" cars are not that much more expensive usually. Suggest Golf/Avensis.

I have booked a Ford Mondeo station (Holland) and Volvo V70 and XC 60 (Sweden) for two adults and two kids. Granted we lug a LOT of luggage around when we travel (usually 4 weeks).

After our Discovery died in South Africa we continued our trip in a Polo - 2 adults, 2 kids and ALL the luggage from the Discovery. I was amazed we got it all in.....but it went in and it drove really well! Land Rover Addict

Well a golf UPGRADE is only another £10 more according to the site....

Its a pity the ferries are at such poo times as otherwise it would work out just a little cheaper to take the FF including the fuel(by about £10 PP!)

Quite surprised the flights and all are so cheap to be honest i thought they would be silly money but i guess early december isnt a busy time as people wait for the big holiday..

Cheers guys, guess worst comes to it i'll plump for the golf as its £4 more than a polo! though only a 1.4 petrol im sure i'll run it in gently.... FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
