Kid Dynamite 7322 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Cheapest way would probably be taking two cars as the parking at Heathrow won't cost much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7322 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccermom 0 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 it should be cheap enough to hire a zafira they have 7 seats. Don't any of your mates have one you can swap with for a couple of days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7322 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
