Pete's car might still be an option.
As it stands we've only got two people and Pete will do all the driving. You'll need to confirm it with him though because if Niamh goes, she has first refusal on a place in the car.

Thanks. It an option. When Niamh decides, just let me know. No rush.

Also how much will the car rentals work out at?

For a Ford Focus which holds five it's €93
Two three hour trips, I'm assuming you'll have to fill the car twice so approx
€60 and then maybe a few hidden extra's (taking the car out of the country, wear and tear surcharges and the like are usually tacked on by rental firms) say another €10

€93 + €60 + €10 = €163 / 5 = €33 approx (say €35 to give petrol a possible extra tenner. Definitely going to be cheaper than the train.

Yes, i'm at work although not doing much but that not stop them from trying

Must admit i've done nada research on car rental. I've already slighty booked car too early & now hearing citygirl need to be 23 (not a probelm for me but seems to be for others) to even book the car. Strangely hertz.com does not list car rental from charloi but its printed on my booking thru ryanair site.

from my malmo experience i don't trust hotle websites. i booked ibis in the sticks cos stadion was full on website. On the day had no problem getting room in stadion ibis & ibis staff had problems cancelling other reservation.

p.s. i jujst thought or changing car booking to MPV so could be cheaper & more people? thoughts?

MPVs can be pricey and not many people have em on such short notice but if you booked one you'd fill it no doubt.

Seems there are a fair few City fans going via Dusseldorf too.

Ignore the above, that was with Ryanair's business partner 'deal'

went via www.hertz.be, same car €68, so should be under €30 each

Myself and Willy are heading over on the Friday, presuming I can get someone to cover for me at work on Saturday

Flying Dublin to Charleroi on Friday morning at 11.20am with Ryanair

Staying at the Mercure Hotel Nijmegen Centre on Friday night and Saturday night. It's bang in the centre of Nijmegen and right beside the train station, 100 yoyo's a night though.

Flying back on Sunday from Rotterdam to Dublin with Basqair.

In total the whole trip works out at about 240 yoyo's but that's not including train prices

Be careful as Hertz.com does not list Charerloi on site which could mean nasty transfer to other pick up point. Then again i'll alos be fuming if paid more & need to transfer.

btw MPVs only 5 seater so no advantage for extra cash.

Not found Mini Vans yet & not sure about licence situation...

eerrrr... back to work...

**Citygirl** · 29/06/2004, 10:03 PM

**Eric** · 29/06/2004, 10:08 PM

Train from Charleroi to Nijmegen takes just over 4 hours and there's between 2/3 stops depending on which train you get
