I guess so How old are you? I mean, above 24 you don't need to pay extra for renting. As far as I have been able to find, if I'm the or one of the drivers, we'll need to pay extra cuz apparently they think I can't drive

  I want to drive! (I totally know how to drive stick with my left hand)

[EvilWhiteDragon]

I do have both but I don't think that they allow me to rent a car since I'm not 21 yet.

I presume that means you're coming

More drivers for rented cars means the rental company wants more money, or that you are technically not insured. Something that might not be a good idea in a foreign country where people drive on the wrong side of the road and have the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car.

I'm 30... and have had my licence since i was 18... so we shouldn't have a problem

I though I replied on this topic already. Well anyway, here it goes:

Ok, so I guess you (Run3) will need to rent a car and inform us to which airport you'll be flying. For dutchies (and perhaps Blind?) it's the cheapest to fly to Manchester or Liverpool by about 100 euros each, but if you prefer Glasgow or Edinburgh then we'll have to fly there I guess.

I'm not sure if Trace and Blind will be joining us or not, but you have at least 2 confirmed passengers

Let us know on which airport you plan on arriving and on what time, so we can plan our flight as well

Gwynzer: make blind reply in this topic about his plans.

Well I'm planning to come along, but I can't really plan a lot yet as I have exams coming up next week.
I checked some tickets with ebookers and ryanair and I can get to Edinburgh from Belgium with Ryanair for around 185 euros.
From Brussels to Liverpool for around 80 euros and to Manchester it's 145.
And Glasgow is over 200 euros.

I'll try to get some more this weekend if I find the time for (remember) it.

[Run3]

Well, sounds like its Liverpool thats cheapest... will check prices and when i will arrive and give you all an update...

[EvilWhiteDragon]

Sounds good. Since it's quite some distance to where we're staying, do you want me to drive as well or?

[Trace]

For a 6 hour drive its better to have 2 drivers indeed, just have to see how much that will increase the costs.
EWD/Rune/Seye, can we talk at some point about when/what we fly? Plane tickets tend to get more expensive the longer you wait (and I'd have a full picture of the costs rather sooner than later)

I guess we should wait till rune decided on his flight and then plan our flight accordingly.

For the higher costs for a secondary driver, I guess it might be good either way, since it is a long drive and it's on the wrong side of the road as well.

Its anywhere between 25 and 60 euroes for an extra driver, i am ordering my flight tomorrow (monday) but as it looks right now the cheapest flight to Liverpool is actually over Amsterdam so we might end up arriving at the same time...

Well that might be fun anyway, to meet up at Schiphol (Amsterdam) and then fly to liverpool. Personally I prefer arriving somewhere in the morning on in liverpool, say around 10'ish as that'll give us plenty of time to go to the house without arriving really late or having to rush (something I really want to avoid because wrong side of the road ).

[Run3]

The flight iwe looked at puts us in liverpool around 10am friday the 15th...
