Have checked Avis prices before but found them higher than others. Had another look day before yesterday small car 7 days rental £60. Had no hesitation booking. Got my rental voucher stating £60. But crossed my mind a few hours after, If it's too good to be true.......
Checked again with same details £108. Still a bit dubious I got a car for that price. Was it a glitch in the system.]]> Mon, 18 Apr 2016 19:32:21 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/car-rental_topic9366_post96935.html#96935 <![CDATA[Car rental? : Like RichardK I also purchased...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/car-rental_topic9366_post96806.html#96806 Author: sidsmum

Like RichardK I also purchased an annual Excess policy, as I hire cars quite a lot each year.
But you can also buy it for one off trips.
I used Reduce My Excess.

I also use a cash back website when buying online, so I received approx 8% cash back by going via www.topcashback.co.uk first.

Agreed, and you can even choose Drive4Fun too. It will be better value than booking direct. ]]> Wed, 13 Apr 2016 15:01:16 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/car-rental_topic9366_post96804.html#96804 <![CDATA[Car rental? : EconomyCarHire.com ]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/car-rental_topic9366_post96803.html#96803 Author: Andrew

I bought an annual Excess insurance - only cost £40 and covers excess anywhere in Europe. This makes it easier than having to find just low excess car hire companies]]> Wed, 13 Apr 2016 10:18:05 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/car-rental_topic9366_post96796.html#96796 <![CDATA[Car rental? : Yes, I use http://www.drive4fun.info/...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/car-rental_topic9366_post96793.html#96793 Author: stuart123

Yes, I use http://www.drive4fun.info/ no problem with excesses - all included.

They also make it easy to use the toll roads with a pre-paid transponder.


You also pay on collection, so no risk of losing your money online etc.

Is it possible to hire a car from Faro airport that doesn't involve the large excess attached? ]]> Tue, 12 Apr 2016 17:06:31 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/car-rental_topic9366_post96786.html#96786
