The thing is its not a big town, Tamworth is bigger (next LA) and (maybe due to competition) cars and base rents are lower this guys £155/week when the only other firm in Lichfield (255255 cars) is £80/week with a 3 day £55 (Friday-Sunday all day) rent (almost half for the week rate) |

£270 for a car round here 24X7, add the fuel on top and you've got nearly £400 a week before you earn anything for yourself. |
