Ive got to figure out how to get 6 people to Heathrow for 6am and back to Newcastle 5 days later for the cheapest way possible!?

 

- Flying from Newcastle is out cos the first flight of the day lands too late

 

- 6 return train tickets + hotel rooms overnight is going to be a big expense

 

- Cheapest way would be to drive down and leave my car in the carpark at the airport but . . . . I cant fit 6 people in my car and, again, 2 cars + petrol + parking fees adds up

 

Does anyone know if rental companies will hire out a people carrier in newcastle and let you return it the following day to the Heathrow office? And then obviously vice versa?

I think its about £35 per car. It looks like its going to cost at least £70 to hire an mpv for the day anyway so youre probably right

 

what do those prices include though? parking, petrol ?

To take our own 2 cars down its probably gona be £60 petrol each car for the the round trip and and £35 each car to park for 5 days. 3 per car = £33 each.

 

To hire a 6 seater is looking nearer £70 each way for hire + £60 petrol which again will probably work out at around £33 each give or take, but then you have the hassle of picking it up, dropping it off, £1k excess if you crash etc.

 

Would be a lot easier if I knew someone with a big car but you dont find many twenty somethings with a 7seater people carrier tbh :)
