Has anybody rented a Defender or similar in Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East? How did you find an agency and how much does it cost? I have some time to kill in Europe in August after a work trip and I'd love to rent a truck and drive around.

There are a bunch of places in the UK that will rent you a fully equipped Defender. I forget names, but open any copy of LRM and they advertise in there.

Good luck, all I ever find are clown car shitty MG's that are built who knows where now.

Now that I think of it Hertz or Avis did have Range Rovers and Defenders at Heathrow! In the Parking deck right outside terminal 5, Delta. Swing by the Punch Bowl for some Carling and Thai food on the way out if that's your destination in Europe.

I'm flying through Heathrow but I probably won't leave the Concorde Room. After much consideration, I've narrowed my plans down to Portugal+Spain or Morocco. Still need to research hotel offerings. I've given up on finding a Defender. I guess I'll just need to find some kind of basic 4x4.
