That’s a wrap on our latest leased car, a 2024 Renault Captur, the same model we drove around Italy in 2022 and Ireland in 2023. This was our 7th lease with Auto TT Renault Eurodrive and we are always really happy with their service, their delivery options and their prices, compared to rental car companies. Of our 7 leases with Renault we have had 3 Megane’s, 3 Captur’s and 1 Dacia Sandero (we did not like this vehicle). Our favorite is the Captur for the luggage space, we sit higher, and its a couple of inches narrower than the Megane which is important on those narrow European roads.
