question hire sorry car

sorry car hire question
#1
I was over in September and the cost of car hire meant I didn't bother for the first time in years.  Sorry for being lazy but have the prices come down?   Looking to come over in December or January.

Seems the best way is to book as far in advance as possible to get the best prices atm

The prices are always following the demand.
At the start of COVID, I was renting a brand new car for €250/ month


September was busy as we had a lot of people here!

Christmas is also usually quite expensive

Checkout TopCar’s and Cicar’s website to get an idea of how much it will be.

I wonder if anyone can answer this question please, i emailed CICAR, received a response but i'm not sure they really understood the question.
I am hiring a car when i arrive with my wife also a named driver, i understand that i provide both driving licences at the hire desk, no problem, have done this in the past.
However i return to the UK 4 days before my wife,so whilst she will be a named driver, i am named on the contract and she would be responsible for the car whilst i am no longer on the Island.
I know the Police can do random stops and if she were to have an accident have we invalidated the policy and terms of hire?
CICAR answered via email that you present the licence for the named driver rather than answering the question posed.

Appreciate anyone reading this and thank you in advance for any advice offered.

Isn't it easier to have the hire contract in your wife's name with you as a named additional driver?

In any event, as she is named on the contract, there shouldn't be any problem with the Police.

But if you do it that way (your contract, she named driver) write a letter of authorisation for your wife and attach a copy of both passports and both driving licences to it (remember to add date and place of signature).

Tom.

This is the form recommended when the insured person is not the driver.
