Brits hiring a car in Europe this summer are being urged to do their homework to avoid rip- offs.

A study found a difference of £ 237.33 for hiring the same car over the internet for the same week and from the same airport.

A f ive- door Hyundai cost £ 378.43 for 14 days with Angus Cars at Palma, Majorca. A like-for-like deal with Hertz was £ 615.76. Extras at the rental desk also hit drivers in the pocket.
