Any other option for car rental?

It looks like the only option for me in renting a car is from Europcar. I will be picking up in Bath and dropping in York. They just don't look that reliable based on reviews. Any other options anybody else knows about?

It is easy by train.

There is more than one car hire company in Bath.

I'm sorry, but your OP makes no sense. I'm not a big fan of aggregation sites, but I start every car rental with, say, Expedia, just to see what the lay-of-the-land is. I see at least five companies for Bath to York.

Maybe you left out some information, like that you want to rent at the train station and will not accept any other location. But you wrote "Bath". I will add that I've never used Europecar, but you should be careful about similar names that I have read (not personal experience) are actually aggregators and may be choosing an actual company you won't learn until you get there. At least if you see Hertz, you know it will be Hertz ... ....

Check on Priceline and you will usually find a variety of options as well as an easy way to compare prices.
