Car Seats in Hire Cars?

Europcar will also give you a discount if you fly with Virgin!

We are flying with Qantas cause when we added our luggage surcharge with Virginblue, they were cheaper..

Anyhow, do we have to supply the anchors, are the holes all the same size for the anchor screws? Should we take one just in case? At least we are arriving in the middle of the day, so if there are any hassles, we can get it sorted.

Europcar is the 2nd cheapest for what I have looked at, and I tend to use them more cause they don't freeze a bond on your credit card if you pay the car hire with it. So just the one amount, and no waiting for refunds.. (We only have a small limit on our card, so this is big help for us..)

Sorry I have never taken my own seat. Its always been too much of a hassle to lug it with all our other luggage so we just hired it for $5 or $10 a day

Heather - if you have spare anchor point it wont hurt to take it, they are all the same. Instead of booking it on the net book over the phone and specify that you need a vehicle with x number of child seat anchors fitted. If you do take the anchor point you will need a 13mm spanner or a shifting spanner to put it in and take it back out

Thanks.. That is a great help. I think I will take one just in case.
