I'm due to start a new job next month. (5th May)
The offices are in Portsmouth and I am in Bristol. The company would like me to get a train to Portsmouth where I'll be met by a colleague who'll take me to the office where I'll pick up my new van.
I bloody hate trains, or any public transport for that matter, so I've asked if I can get one-way car hire instead. I've been told that is fine if it's not cost prohibitive.
I do not want a stupid little car to drive there (yes, I know it's only a couple of hours), so Astra/Focus and above only.
So, who's best to use? Enterprise are coming in at around £70 for a pick-up in Bristol and drop-off in Portsmouth. I'll be picked up from the Rent-A-Car office.
A train ticket is near £70 anyway.
Obviously, this will only be a 1 day (or a few hours) hire, and I'd be happy to fund the fuel if necessary (saves sitting on a stinking train)!
TIA! :y

Ooooo get you Mr I'm too good for the train! :P ;D
Good luck with the new job! :y

;D If only that were true.... I just have a terrible fear of Trains and a Bus makes me puke. Call it an irrational fear if you like. I'm not a great passenger in a car either.
On your second point; Thank You. It will hopefully be enjoyable. :y

How can WORK be classed as enjoyable? maybe interesting at times but good luck anyway, (says he who is now retired). ;)
