Any good car hire firms in the Algarve?

Can anyone recommend any good car hire firms in the Algarve ( I'm flying to Faro airport ) ?

I've had a look at an earlier thread, but it's over a year old so I was hoping to get more up date recommendations.

Ideally looking for someone who hires Berlingos ( or equivalent ) as we need something big enough to take 3 kids, luggage and a pushchair ... we hired a Berlingo last year in Spain and it was ideal.

Thanks.

    I always use travelrent, you pick car up on airport, pay cash on arrival and get can ask for a fully inclusive quote which means no insurance excess to pay if you have a bump! Also no additional charges for extra drivers or to take car into Spain. you can email them at travelrent@sapo.pt Just tell them the size of car you want and whether you want fully inclusive price and they will email you back a quote.
    We have never had any problems, near new cars and no buses to and from depots!! Also no hassle if you hit a parked car as I did!!

    Whatever you do take the insurance excess cover. I went in January and had a hole drilled in the door by some would-be theif. The rental company said that it happens all the time and would have cost £150 without the excess cover.
