Silver inclusive v gold inclusive

[vickk]

I normally book the gold inclusive because we have 3 or 4 drivers and I prefer to take the car back empty (can't be bothered filling up before going to airport).

This year there will only be 2 of us and for an intermediate SUV and the price diff is £505 to £605 for a 3 week hire.

What do people think about the 2 options? How much do you think I would get charged for a refuel on the silver option.

I got charged £49.21 in October for an intermediate SUV on the silver option.
It was a Dodge Journey.

Provided you pre-pay for the tank when you collect the car, it will be around the pump price. On that car, around $55. If you tell them you will return full, but return empty then they will charge more. Or you can return full. Silver Inclusive includes 2 drivers.

cheers for the answers. Silver seems the better option this time around then. Would I be right in assuming the pre pay option is the norm and I would have to request the return full option, or is it the other way round

They should ask you, but if they don't they will probably assume you will pay up front on collection and charge you for it on your return, so tell them what you want if they don't specifically ask.
