Thank you for your responses!! This helps me sift through the offerings. I agree, I don't want to fight with the business travelers (nor do I want to leave Amsterdam at the crack of dawn)... so am targeting a flight after 11 am.
The real point is to forget about Gatwick, Stansted, Southend, Luton and City unless there's a strong dollar rent a car discounts financial case. It's rare for Heathrow to match other airports on price - but these things are never completely predictable.
I'd choose Bristol dollar rent a car discounts only if it is enough cheaper than B'ham to make a difference budget dollar rent a car discounts wise, or if you are staying in the very southern Cotswolds. If fares are comparable - for Burford and there abouts I'd probably choose LHR. For Chipping Campden area - Birmingham.
it's close to motorways, a nice easy drive to Bath, and for those who like the scenic route, near to the Fosse Way [an old roman road that cuts through the Cotswolds dollar rent a car discounts going past Westonbirt, through Tetbury dollar rent a car discounts and Cirencester, and up to Stow on the Wold and Moreton in Marsh].
