£85 per week for a Corsa
£90 per week for an Astra
£95 per week for a Vectra (£13.57 a day)
Valid for car hire bookings starting in June for 1 week or more (starting Monday-Wednesday only).

About 66% OFF their normal price for a Vectra - Bargain!!
Only extras are Super CDW or risk a £500 excess.
Just what I was looking for - my car is very poorly and at the garage for upto 4 weeks so this is just what I needed for work.
Last time I hired an Astra from this lot, I got a DOUBLE upgrade to an Auto Vectra 2.2 SRi for free!!

i know enterprise rent cars from 21, i used to get a few at uni couple of years ago and they were the only ones who did rent to under 25's, but not sure if they would give you a seven seater.

I got a Nissan Micra from Enterprise (im 21 and passed last August). I didn't think I would get it as the terms and conditions of Enterprise state that I must have a license for over a year, which I didn't...
All in all, the car was great (1.4l plus it was an automatic).
For a seven seater, I think you will struggle to get one as its a different 'class' and you need to be over a certain age.

I assume it's for you and your mates, why not just buy an old shed of ebay and then sell it again afterwards. Don't forget to get breakdown recovery though!
Alternatively, if any of your mates drive you might just have to rent 2 cars.

Although it wont beat the now expired diesel focus from hertz for much less than that for a month it still looks like a cheap rental if you need one?

As an Ex-Enterprise Branch Manager (one of many!), I'm sorry to say that this won't be possible. Enterprise are generally considered to be one of the most lax rental companies, but their rules state that an under-25 year-old can rent anything up to a 1.4
The likelyhood of getting an MPV - or even a Zafira with that vehicles' 5+2 seating - is effectively nil. The liability to the rental company is just far too great. That is even true if you try to sort out your own insurance, as the company will still view a potential total loss of the vehicle as admin time, time that the vehicle isn't earning rental fees, (sometimes) bad PR...
From experience, I thought I was the best driver in the world at 17; 18; 19; 21; 25 etc... still wrote off cars regularly...!
You're just far too great a risk. My advice is to try the smaller local companies out there, as the big boys (Alamo/National - which has just been bought out by Enterprise - Hertz - 1car1 - LCR - easyCar (?) won't touch you with the proverbial barge pole.
I'm sorry to be such a naysayer, but I thought I'd give it straight!

...and then get nicked for no insurance, plus hit for the full costs of any repair or damage even if completely not at fault, and probably get nicked for stealing it cos the "somene else" will have to deny letting you drive it... :w00t:
