Definitely nowhere near that. We paid about £240 plus the £100 insurance excess waiver. That was a Renault Clio. When we hired one from enterprise to go away for the weekend with family and needed a larger car, we paid £80 for 4 days for either of us to drive. I can't remember the model but it was a Chevrolet 2.something giant saloon! We hired a van for a couple of days, a Fiat Doblo, that was about £60. That was to take some of my childhood toys to a specialist auction in Dudley and I remember we debated whether it would be worth it if the lots didn't make their reserve (they actually did better and I got nearly £1000!). What the hell has happened to send the prices flying up?
