We are looking to rent a car in Bath from 16 June returnng to Heathrow on 26 June. The website implies there is nothing available - is this correct
Agent
I first have a look of what you saw, one moment please. The problem is the pick up day...Sunday. When you choose Saturday at for example 11:00am cars are shown. Sunday all car hire suppliers are closed
Client
the website implies you use Europcar but says there is nothing available but Europcars site says there is cars avaiable. Both sites say you are open on a Sunday but is this not the case?
Agent
What matters is if cars are shown or not. If NO cars are shown, pick up is not possible based on your search criteria or the pick up location is not open. When cars are shown, like on saturday, they are available, the website is real time.
Client
If we have to book a car for the day prior and leave outside our hotel overnight what is the latest we can pick up on Saturday 15th June instead?
Agent
I'll sent you an email quote of my search
Client
ok thanks. We will try to book that time instead. We were just trying to avoid having car unused for the day and of course avoid parking charges!
Agent
I understand
Client
THanks and we will have a look at the quote you are sending
Agent
What type of car are you interested in?
Client
Were looking at automatic compact car (Opel Astra or similar size as only two of us)
Agent
I have sent the quote. Follow the link, from there you can change/adjust if you want or choose another car, dates and times are correct for you inserted now.
Agent
This is what Europcar say about additional driver (for Opel Astra of the email quote):-
Client

Agent

It differ per supplier, you can find this information under "IMPORTANT INFORMATION' then look under "DRIVER". You can add it at STEP3 of the online booking process.
