I have used Hertz, Europcar, UR rent, Holiday Autos over the years but didn't like the insurance costs or deposits they quoted this year so gave this company a try for the last two trips this year and found them ok

beware however, I hire for two weeks so don't have a problem with the petrol as I use a tankful plus but for a shorter length hire it may be a problem because you have to take the car back EMPTY! :eek:

oh btw, did you book before you went......is that a good idea, or are there plenty of cars and companies to choose from while there?

Thanks again.

I have booked through www.carhire-online.co.uk - £256 for 2 weeks car rental - cheaper than I paid last year, but I left it to the last minute then and there was hardly any cars available for hire and what they did have were expensive (cant remember who I used last year)

I also used Moto luis and it was the cheapest by far. A Renualt Megan Cabrio with CD changer was only around £300 for a week.

i booked through their e-mail on their website but you can usually pick something up if you arrive early in the morning at their office. I stress early. Actually now that i think of it jeeps were the only thing left in the afternoons.

I've been looking at this for a while now and the best company from the research I've done (in terms of price AND service - no hidden extras like excess and Collision Damage Waiver) are www.holidayautos.com

For the last 3 years I've looked on the net and everywhere else for car hire and NEVER been able to beat them.

They'll get my business again this year for sure. £208 for a compact with aircon for 2 weeks. Less than £15 per day!!

Holiday Autos are a good company, but they are not a car rental company but a broker - you will end up with a car from Europcar/Betacar but generally at a cheaper price than dealing with them direct.

There are drawbacks, principally that if you take your car back early you won't get any refund - but then you can't have everything.

If you get your car from the airport, be sure to go to the desk whilst someone else waits for your bags - it will save you loads of time... ;)

Holiday Autos this year want a credit card slip for 600-800 euros to cover accidental damage on top of the hire charge and insurance is only third party - you have been warned
