Rental Car Problems

Today we travelled from Amsterdam airport to Birmingham airport.

We got off the plane and then had a really long wait for our suitcases.

We went to the place where you picked up the rental cars. When we got there it was not there! We had to make some phone calls and we found out that the car was only available for pick-up for one hour! Because our flight was delayed we missed this window. We asked them for another car but they said they were sold out! We found out later that they did in fact have other cars.

We had to go to other car companies and asked if we could rent a cheap car because the other company would not give us our money back!

They kept saying that they did not have any cars left.

Finally we hit a jackpot. We loaded our stuff into the car. Because we are traveling for three months we have lots of luggage. And surprise, surprise our luggage would not fit in the car.

When we got another car which could fit all of our luggage, we drove off to Leicester. We are staying with Uncle Chris and Aunty Toria for one more night.

Tomorrow we drive to Bath see you then
