We are traveling to the English countryside in early October and plan to rent a car at LHR and return it there as well. However, we are puzzled as to which rental company has the best service and cars. We would like an automatic and price is also a consideration. Thanks in advance for advice!

Use Autoeurope as a search website for your best deals and selection. We ended up renting, through this website, with Avis and Europcar and had great satisfaction in price and vehicle selection. Good luck and have a great vacation.

Steer clear of Green Motion, Easirent and 3rd party agencies.

I used AutoEurope for our rental at LHR, as I always do when we rent in Europe. We got an automatic from Europcar. It went smoothly, but we did have one thing happen that hasn't occurred when we have rented before. The rental car agent offered to upgrade us to a different car. He phrased it as just something nice he would do for us. When I asked him if the cost would increase, he said it would. No thanks.
