Looking for a pair of car hires for a trip to California in April, and doing it through BA is coming up cheaper than elsewhere - not only individually but even better as a bundle booking of both. Just wanted to see if there was anything to be wary of when doing this - probably most importantly both will be one-way rentals, so it’s not forgetting to include any one way charges or the like...? And a second driver should be included no issues, I believe?

Thanks!
hard to advise but check how much insurance or LDW is not included- ie what the excess is. Also is there Road side assistance or do you need to buy it? (Alamo love that one). Are extra drivers included or not? The list goes on. Sometimes a good deal genuinely is - sometimes not.

if you have nt already, Alamo uk have some good is deals - once you take the zero excess option and factor in recovery fees. For some countries Avis can have some good rates - and the free to sign up Avis preferred is worth it - just for the queue jump alone.

as with so much check the small print...
