Haven't hired for a while but when we did we often found it was cheaper to hire two small cars than one 6+ seater and you get more luggage space (assuming you have 2 drivers). Obviously buy the separate excess waiver policies in the UK.

Is there a quick way to find out which UK airports fly to the other airports or do you just need to do multiple searches?
Go on skyscannner, type in from 'UK' to 'Italy', put your dates etc. Search results will come up with different Italian airports, select an Italian airport that you're happy to land at and then you can narrow down the search from a specific UK airport. Go via Squidco or TCB to do the searches to earn extra pennies.
That's the great thing about skyscanner - if you're bored or fancy flying to a random destination on a day trip/1 nighter, type in UK to 'anywhere' and choose cheapest month rather than specific dates. London to Sweden Ā£10 return with RA if anyone fancies it. Might get Ā£300 compensation if it's 3 hours late.
Add-ons with RA and EJ are cheaper when you book direct most of the time. So once you've found the most suitable/cheapest UK departure airport and Italian airport, go direct on the website to book flights and relevant add-ons.
Skyscannner also good for car hire if you have to get one. And as serap says get your own excess insurance for a few quid. Just avoid G0ldcar...very cheap but they're awful. So bad that some excess insurance companies don't cover them because they're notorious for scamming.
Which reminds me, everything ok with your daughter and her OH mks ? Did they get back home safely and have they sorted out ordering/cancelling bank cards etc?
