Car Hire Dover
I've just had a call from my son in Germany. He wants me to arrange a hire car to be picked up tomorrow about 10 pm in Dover. All the sites I've tried seem to close at 5 or earlier, and/or need 48 hours notice for out-of-hours pick-up. Does anyone know a company that would still be open Saturday evening?

With light luggage it's possible to walk to the Europcar site from the ferry terminal or a taxi wouldn't cost very much:

If Europcar doesn't work out, I wonder what his final destination is? Could it be worth taking a train to Ashford and renting a car there? At that time of night I don't think the shuttle between the ferry and the station will be running, so he'd have to walk or take a taxi.
Or, if he's got a long journey ahead and is arriving in Dover late at night, he could stay in a Dover hotel, have a leisurely full English breakfast and start the journey when the car rental companies open at 10 on Sunday!
