Is there a good car rental company in Moreton in Marsh that would allow a (reasonably priced?) drop-off in Cheltenham? Thank you!

No, the only two rental agents in the town are for specialty car types. Try to pick up the car at an earlier stop.

Moreton is a small village of around 3,500 people and therefore, there are no car hire offices, as there wouldn’t be enough demand (save for the 2 specialist companies already mentioned).

One of the majors used to have an arrangement in MiM, which you may find reference to in old posts here, but this was discontinued some time ago

Robinson Goss Car Hire is in Shipton-on-Stour which is about 6.5 miles from Moreton-in-Marsh so you could take a cab there to pick up a car, but I’m not sure if you can return it to Cheltenham.

Thank you all for your responses. I did contact Robinson Goss Self Drive but it didn't work out with them - too bad since they appear to be an excellent company.
The plan now is to take the train from London to MIM and get a taxi to Blockley. The next day, when well rested, we will take a cab to MIM and then the bus to Cheltenham (one way cost 4 pds). I'm researching taxis now and hopefully have success.
Thanks again!
