   Did an initial query for car hire prices from Faro airport via Zest, for my next trip. Some of their suppliers are charging up to 55€ for on airport pick up.( out of hours charge P4  )Will this steer customers to not so favourable suppliers.

	I noticed that too and also noticed they don't seem to be using Travelrent anymore ( well not for dates in May) which we have always used. EDIT: Whoops just done another search on Zest and found Travelrent, although slightly dearer than other companies they still only charge €15 airport charge, no out of hours as I think they are open on CP4 until after midnight. I think they still charge you €20 for transponder on pick up but when you take the car back on departure if you havn't used it they refund the money.
	Polli the dancing cat strikes again.

	I've booked a car for next month through Zest and I noticed on my first search that "drive for fun" were not there, they were when I searched again. I also noticed that some companies are requiring deposits of up to €1050, I have never had to leave more than a €300 holding deposit in Portugal before. I have had to leave up to €1200 in the canaries, which was interesting when a car hire employee run in to us in the airport! Hahaha
