Flight and Car Hire query

Good evening. Long term reader and seldom poster here!

I am trying to book a return flight with car hire and the car hire doesn't show options to add additional driver(s) or to add car seats, etc.

I start by looking at flights
Once I have the price, I select the option to look at car hire
I select the car
It takes me straight to the confirmation and basket

How am I meant to book the seats, etc?

The only thing I believe could be causing this is booking a different class outbound to return?

It also looks like I lose the discount from booking together.

Has anyone else experienced this and got a solution? Is calling BA even a real option now and, if so, would they be able to resolve?

Any help appreciated.

All I can think of is going via book flight and car from the start and it may show you more options.

Thanks, unfortunately that doesn't allow me to book two travel classes.

Oh I missed that apologies! I read it as two different fare buckets in the same class 🤦‍♂️.

No problem. I have also tried logging in with EC account details first, booking the same class out and back (was original plan but I slept on booking and tickets went up £400 pp x 4 on one leg, so reverting to Economy + for that leg), seeing if car + flight from start works using same class, different browser, different computer. None of these work. I am certain the options appeared before.

I lose the c.£250 saving on booking together so worth finding a solution but I am out of ideas.

The phone number(s) say they are not taking sales calls as prioritising customer service for the next few weeks.
