I normally pick up at Gatwick so need them to have a branch there. Any recommendations?

Thanks

Given up on mainstream car hire companies, I usually fly to Heathrow and use a small firm from Luton who meet you at arrivals take you to your car at short term car park and wave you off. When returning you rock up at drop off and they load you luggage on a trolley and wave you off.

Saves loads of time.

Usually get a new Audi A4 or A6 for less than mainstream companies and save loads of time.
Really recommend them. They do cheaper as well!

Other advantage is I usually drop off at 6am with no problem.

Just looked. They're 123 GBP more than Hertz for a similar car and for the same time period.

used a smal hire car firm from Gatwick once. After I returned the car they tried to take about 300 quid from my Credit Card in payments of GBP20 at time over a week.

referred it to my Bank and was refunded.

I have used Woods in the past - not too sure on current pricing though but worth getting a quote.
