Hi guys and gals, I need to hire a car for 6 months whilst on a probation period for my new job. Diesel is a must and something like the new Golf GT 140bps would be good

Any ideas as to the best company to use please.

You are joking ?

I will have to use this vehicle to drive 2-3k miles a month and possibly take customers out etc.

My new employer will cover costs by paying mileage expenses at a higher rate.
They are based up north and have a deal with a non UK wide company so have asked me to look into hiring myself at my end.
They pay mileage at 40p a mile so a 50mpg diesel works out very cost effective.
Its not my image that matters, it is the companies.

40p a mile working on an average of 3k a month means £1200 quid eek allow 400 a month for fuel (3000/40(allow for a bit of abuse in the mpg) means around 75 gallons of fuel a month

which leaves you a stonking 800 a month for a car,

or a budget of circa 5 grand. buy something at a year old run for 6 months and batter the miles on and then sell it on and take a couple of grand hit

result you score a couple of G's

When you put it that way ............... hmmmm
