1. The cheepest car that comes up is the Mini One (O group) which is not supposed to be rented to driver under the age of 25. will I be allowed to rent it if I prepaid the rent online?
2. the website states that all prices are inclusive of young driver surcharge. is there any additional charge that i am liable to pay if I rent the mini?
3. in the worst condition possible, if they don't let me take the mini, will I be forced to take a group A car, which is priced almost twice the price of the mini?
I would really like to get the mini, given hat is just £90 pound for a week, against 150 for a fiat panda
Thanks you very much
Usually, it's the opposite: the most expensive cars are limited to 25+yo.
Let us know how it goes. If they force you to pay extra, maybe you might be able to get refunded the extra cost by contacting CS after you returned the car (see previous AutoSlash posts).
Cheers,
