Car Hire at CDG
October 01, 2009, 11:01:30 am
Anyone got a recommendation for a good value hire car company at Charles de Gaulle?

All the big names are about the same £££, lots of cheaper deals about but is it worth saving c£20 to go with an unknown quantity?

Cheers

Ian

No advice on companies, normall stick with the big ones. Last time national tried to stitch us up for damages, as there was no-one in the office when we returned the car. Make sure you get it from the right terminal, some of the terminals are a ballache as there is no retrun and you have to get a bus between them.

As an aside, Geneva Airport have recent moved their car parkign a bit away from the airport and you need a shuttle bus to go to car and back to terminal when you return it. They don't mention the fact that they add a few euros onto your rental to pay for using the shuttle bus though.

Friend raves about Carhire 3000 who are basically brokers and get you a cheap deal from many of the larger places.  Not sure if they cover CDG though.
