EuropCar £1 one-way rentals

[Andy_Bangle]

I'm just going to leave this here as it maybe helpful for someone traveling from select locations in UK, or for a run to or from the airport

What you get for £1
1) One way car rental - You can drive from one city to another for just £1! Much cheaper than any bus or taxi!
2) Generous time allowance - You get an ample time to complete your journey: Up to 24 hours. You also have a mileage allowance included in the price.
3) Basic Protection -We have included Basic Protection, which reduces your excess amount in case of damage of the vehicle. You can add more protection at the rental location if you wish.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
You may be wondering why we are offering you car rental for 1 pound. You may think there is some kind of catch. But don’t worry, there is a logical reason behind our crazy offer!

Often we need to re-locate a vehicle, to be ready for the next rental or to return it to the manufacturer at the end of its lease.

Transporting the vehicle by truck is very expensive, so if you can bring the vehicle to where we need it, we charge you only 1 pound, and we both benefit!

Stinks to me.

Car hire company's normally had casual labour or hired drivers to do this, of course this involved them paying their staff to do this. 

Now it seems another cost cutting exercise and disposing of the casual drivers (normally older folk or youngsters).

Hertz offer something similar for returning cars to other countries.
