No, but I can't get a cheaper quote than that given by autoeurope. They were cheapest last year as well. My friend booked economy carhire for next week, best he could find.

I used them last month when i was on holiday in Fuerteventura, i ended up getting the car from Avis. The deal i thought i was getting was "Fully inclusive car hire with no insurance excess" so thats why i went with them and paid everything up front. When i went to get the car i was told i would have to pay an extra 5 euros a day to get fully inclusive insurance. I argued with them for a bit but thy wouldn't budge and i couldn't get hold of anyone in the ECH office as it was after 7pm. Since i got back i have emailed them a few times and they fobbed me off without answering my questions.

I would use another company. I have used carjet in Spain before and have never had any problems.

Is it the broker providing the insurance excess cover?

Yes you do pay upfront ! Suits some not others.

Yes you can take out there extra insurance ( Tyres/Screen/Underbody cover etc)

Most if not all hire companies will charge you double the price ECH charge for extra insurance,you still have to leave a €300 CC swipe deposit and if there is a problem you claim off the ECH insurance not the car hire company.

We've used economy car hire at least three times now in Portugal, and have a fourth hire booked for this year.
Cheapest or nearly cheapest, plus it's usually full insurance, only downside has been that collecting one car involved quite a walk (with all luggage wobbling on the trolley) all the way to a car park where we got the keys and did the paperwork out of the back of a van!
The cars have always been low mileage, nearly new, and in good condition. I'd recommend them.
