Hi Harold
Your line of dots has just come through as a very wide page and I've only just seen what was written, if we don't get a car we will also be getting a taxi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 And Yvonne, when we get a taxi I tell the driver that I'm an English Taxi driver, sometimes that does the trick, we have never had a problem, yet.

Hello Paul/Deb5,
We will be getting a car.I did think about getting one from Anna and picking it up at the airport,but we thought we would leave it for a few days,just so we can relax and recover from the journey.I will get the car mid week and toddle off to town,and use the hole in the wall,plus visit some friends.

Hi both

I am going to Arillas in August and want to get a car for the fortnight we are there. I will probably arrange to pick one up from the airport. You obviously have hired cars before in Corfu - is there anyone you would recomment. Harold, you mention someone called Anna?

PS - There is something very wrong with the formatting in this thread!

Cheers

Pete

I understand that Anna's car hire is very good but we always hire through Arillas Travel. As we now stay at their apartments it makes sense for us to get from them. We have just hired one of their small cars for 2 weeks in June. Pick up to & from the Airport. 14 days. I think the price was e440. Not bad considering a taxi is about e45 each way. What I especially like about it is we get a driver to & from the Airport as well, so I can unwind.  I would think that Annas Car hire does the same. I would be interested in what prices you get.

Thanks Harold and Eggy

I can see this will be my weekend task - along with booking airport parking at this end - always a joy! The last couple of times we have gone to one of these off-airport parks with the minibus transfer (Birmingham)but last time was a nightmare. Traffic jams, having to wait around in the freezing cold on the way there and back (it was in Feb - skiing hol). We have decided this time that it is worth being ripped off to actually park on the airport itself!

Car all booked - I went with Anna at Arillas Rentals in the end. She gave me what I think is a good price - 448 Euros for the 2 weeks pick up and drop off at the airport for a Hyundai Accent or equivalent in August.

The airport parking was cheaper than I was expecting as well - it only cost me around £10 more than the next cheapest off airport parking to park at the NCP car park a 5 minute walk from the terminal at BHX - £75 for the fortnight.

I do like getting a bargain!

As you can see - I do like to get my holiday booked and sorted way in advance. Now all I have to do is wait - 96 days!!

Hi Pete
Yes, we have always used Anna's cars and touch wood never had a problem, exactly as you say they are very helpful, and we had the Hyundai ourselves.
You must go and have a drink with them @ Annas studios and have a look, they are  new & nice,if you haven't been before.

Harold,  do you still think it is worth doing the tax transfer rather than the coach - did you use it both ways?  What was the time taken in the taxi?
