A friend who will be visiting from the States has asked me: a) are train passes and car hire cheaper to sort out and pay for from the US?
b) if they reserve an automatic, how likely are they to actually get one? Because of the wisdom of arachne, I was able to confidently say that rail passes are cheaper bought before they arrive but is there a time clause in there somewhere? Can someone tell me if the car hire is also better (moneywise) to be sorted out before they come? Last time they were here (1987) they had ordered an automatic but when they went to collect it, were told there wasn't one available, which meant he ended up doing all the driving. I think that automatics are getting more normal here but wondered if anyone has any recent experience on this. Many thanks, Jacquie in Lincolnshire.
