Car Hire
Cost: Daily rate £44 (Europcar)
How it works: Nothing new here – but considering car hire as an alternative to ownership is! It’s sensible for those who need a vehicle infrequently.
There are no annual fees to worry about, and the longer you rent for, the less you tend to pay. Insurance and servicing is taken care of and, with a firm like Europcar, as long as you hand the car back with a full tank of fuel there are no extra charges. There are a huge number of UK operators, though, so shop around for the best deal.
