Type of car

Well, there are the big limo vroom vroom types, or those little ones that tootle. They also have the High Bread models that run on glug glug AND buzzy buzz.
If you're after the ones that simply go chug chug but are very economical then they also provide those, but if you want a good growl, then pick a hire firm that deals more with the vroom end of the market.

Parp parp.

Generally ones on which they can charge small print extras, like location and out of hours charges, extra insurance if you don't want to pay a crippling deposit, or exorbitant rates for replenishing the fuel tank on return.
No doubt your company is also guilty of this !

Are tires an option? The last one I rented was on blocks. It certainly took the fun out of my travel. In fact it took the travel out of my travel. My children were not thrilled with the Avis Parking lot, I can tell you!
