Default Cheap car hire??

Has anyone found any cheap car hire recently? Want to book 4 weeks Sept/Oct and the prices are horrendous.
Appreciate knowing any deals that are out there.
Thanks

The cheapest I can find at the moment appears to be Hertz via the Ryanair site with up to 33% discount. I booked my car hire for the year away back in February through the Hertz Europe site when the prices quoted were a lot less than they are now.
Hope you can find a bargain, Billy.

Yes, we booked three lots of car hire for 4 weeks at a time with Hertz for £257 but now can't find anything at all reasonable. Will try the Hertz site via Ryanair. Thanks.

Hi,
We usually use a website
Car Hire 3000 - Book cheap car hire | Car rental online
They seem to be a kind of broker. When you put in your requirements they find the best quote with whichever car rental company that suits best.
Once the booking is made you'll be shown what company you are renting through
We normally fly into Naples and all the rental desks are together at arrivals so it has worked out pretty well for us so far. No problems to report (fingers crossed)
Hope this helps
Niamh

Just tried Hertz via the Ryanair site again and noticed that if you click on "Hertz special offers" and then on to "Hertz Advance" with 25% off, the car hire is much cheaper than if you click on the "Up to 1/3 off" button.Just out of interest I tried 4 weeks hire between Sept/Oct. using both methods and there is about £100 pounds difference for a Fiat panda. This is from Rome Ciampino.The only difference I can see is that with the 1/3 off you get unlimited kilometers and with the Hertz Advance the kilometers are limited---just depends how much driving you intend doing I suppose.
Cheers, Billy.
