    Due to not meeting the age requirement for the rented vehicle, the order was unusable. I had to pay separately, and it was very expensive. The car was also small, and couldn't fit all our luggage.

    However, most websites start by saying that cars can be hired from £15 a day, which a big myth. £50 is closer to the truth. This is quite acceptable to me, so perhaps the websites can happily be more truthful! The staff at the National counter were very efficient, yet thorough.
