doesnt say but when I got the laguna last years it was a manual
No - you dont get any contact at all with Renault - it is Avis that just come and pick up the car - It is just someone that comes and picks the keys up from you on the monday morning
They will phone you eventually, but quite easy to fob off!!
BTW This has been posted a couple of times before, but still worth a reminder.
Think it's random, but I had a manual.
This is normal for car hire (infact its usually ALOT more) - If you dont crash the car then you dont get charged - it is the excess you would need to pay if you crash it
i think they take 200 and if you return it in good condition they will refund that. its basically a excess.
:lol:
Ill say the same when they ring me then - get them off the phone quicker!

- I didn't know anyone who actually got a diesel, even when specified. Therefore assume you will always get a 1.6 Petrol (which isnt very economical I must add)
- I have not received any calls from Renault or any hard selling (just an email survey to ask what I thought)
- It's a good offer, cannot fault a free car for the weekend (or 24 hours)
- I was impressed with the car, generally not a fan of french cars, but this one looked nice and nice little touches (stop/start button etc).

2 months ago - I think reposting after 2 months is ok.
good point - I wish I had thought of this - I think they will drop it off on friday and pick it up tuesday.
Might be worth doing over easter - Thursday till tuesday.
Ring and ask if this will happen
I'd booked it through the Renault website, the manager of the dealership didn't even know their was a promotion on and said that Renault were always doing things like this to him.
I was goosed because I'd arranged for my car to go in for a service that day and I need a car for work!
Heat added though - and I've booked one for April. Can't see this going wrong with it being through Avis.
i saw this on that piston heads website. I checked the T+C last time this deal was on and decided at 22 i was old enough. When the car got here they told me i had to be 25 and i couldnt get it. Now the website says 25. gutted
Booked this one for this month, dont mind to wait another 2or 3 weeks after the date i booked.
SUPER HOT DEAL!!!!!
uh????????????
No, it shouldn't do. Avis normally only keep these cars for about a month and then they go back to the dealers to be sold as an ex demo. As hardly anyone is buying new cars it is easier for them to sell ex demos cheaper minus the VAT etc compared to a full price brand new car.
Its nice that there is no max mileage. I have done a few of the 'extended' test drives before with KIA, TOYOTA and Peugeot. They had max mileage rules!
If you dont have the deposit then they will not go ahead with the rental. They take £200 if you are using a debit card but if you use your credit card they only block £80. Dont ask me why thats what they told me when i had one 2 weeks ago for the tip run which is all it was good for imo :roll:
Heat and rep left!

Does anyone know if you are restricted on the amount of miles you can do during the hire period? Can't see anything about that is the T+C
