I also checked all the boxes for memberships and credit cards on Autoslash, but the difference is still 90 GBP. If that's simply the cost/difference to secure an automatic transmission vehicle, then so be it and I'll likely have to pay to get it. I was merely cross referencing the two quotes and trying to understand why.
It reads to me that one quote is for a manual transmission car and the other for an automatic. Have you priced a manual transmission car through AutoSlash to check the difference in their pricing between a manual and automatic transmission.

One final data point, my 20 days rental in Italy cost €364.
