Skycars: £100 for a Ford Fiesta
Skycars £145 for a Ford Focus Estate
Carhire300: £125 for a Chevrolet Matiz, or 207
Avis: £130 for a Nissan Note
All based on a Saturday midday pick-up and early Monday morn drop off. Not as cheap as I thought...
£80 for a car of 3 people to cross on the ferry.
500 miles at 40MPG and £1.25 per litre = ~£75
Total: £255 for 3 people in a car, £85 each.
(Cambridge luxury van including delivery/collection would be cheaper... come on Ray, drive us, heh.)
[edit] carrentals.co.uk is giving some good deals... between £70 and £90, depending on car size, pickup/dropoff from London City Airport. A Ford Focus Station Wagon estate may get 5 people and bikes in for £100, will push the mileage and ferry cost up a little though, maybe £55 each based on 5 sharing?
