In March we rented a midsize car from Auto Europe.

With many roads blocked off, we had a terrible time making our way back to Auto Europe's downtown office.

Auto Europe (800-223-5555) said that in Britain there would be no charge for the seat if it was obtained.

Auto Europe has a decent Web site, although I prefer to reserve through its 800 number.

Auto Europe has matched anyone else's lower rate whenever I found one.
