Hope that helps

:D

I have only seen french cars as french hire cars in that bracket of hire car. I can't remember seeing any guests with fords. (I might be just being blind though :-\ )

Maybe even an e-mail from them stating which model you will get might be an idea (so you can print it out and wave it at them if they try to give you something smaller).

Post by: Jim on March 17, 2010, 02:10:26 pm: is the saturn the big one?
If so then definately not.
can't fit one in my a4 estate without the seats down
Also the car it says it will be giving you is only an example of the type of car

Post by: Andy B on March 17, 2010, 04:41:06 pm: If the back seats split and drop you may be OK. We have an old Polo and can fit a Saturn, POD and a medium Franklin in with two passengers and bags. If the seats don't split there's no way you'll fit two passengers and a Saturn in.

And yea I think they say focus as a reference point but don't mention it on the agreement. Think I'll sew up the dodgy straps on the squidgy dropzone, or look into borrowing one off someone.... Hmmm.

:D
