Hi all
Hopefully you can help me....
Our current car is a c-max and when camping with have an erde 122 trailer with the high sides. We find that the capacity is enough for us so that we are not up to the gunnels in the back.
Anyway, we are due to go camping next Monday for the week and last friday I was rear end shunted, so my bumper is all smashed and the sockets from the tow bar got all bent in. I don't know if, once the socket plate is pulled back out everything will be functional or not.
My car insurance allows me to have a 'like for like' car, so I have said I would need a car with a tow bar. The car hire people did phone me, but I am waiting on the mobile assessor coming out to see if my car can have minimal work done it (sorting the towbar out) so that we can still go away and then have the repair once we get back, so I can't say if I would need a hire car with towbar. (The towbar requirement kind of flummoxed the fella that I was speaking to at the car hire company)
Hopefully the assessors will be able to come out in the next few days, so I can say whether I need a car or not, but I have a feeling I will need a hire car due to the time available.
So (after that long drawn out explanation), if the hire car company can't provide a suitable car with a towbar, what other car do you suggest that would give a large boot capacity so that we wouldn't need a trailer? My husband suggested a s-max with some seats taken out at the back (there is only the three of us in total).
Can you suggest any others? I don't want to agree to a car which I think will fit the bill and then find we can't get all our gear in.
TIA
