    Enterprise are pretty reliable - rates vary depending when you book. Normally cheaper in advance.

    What area do you want to hire it from? I have had minibuses from a hire company nr Chatham Maritime which has been good value before even when taking to France, cant remember what its called though.

    I was looking getting a van to Ireland, which is of no use to you, but apparently foreign drivers in the EU need an international drivers permit. And after 31 Jan that’s UK citizens as well.
    Just bear in mind you will probably need this.

    You are just referring to vans, right?

    Or will we need international permits to drive cars in EU after Jan 31st? Of so, which one? I know there are like three or four versions/years

    No it’s all road vehicles. The 1949 IDP covers the EU.

    Also EHIC cards might not be valid. Check if you need insurance to cover possible medical emergencies

    EHIC cards are valued until at least 31st December 2020.

    I spoke a company I got a quote from and because I want to go to France I need a permit, extra insurance and enhanced breakdown cover which adds a further £249 to the quote.
