Help with car hire in Portugal

I am going to Portugal in July and would like to hire a car when I get to Faro airport. Has anybody got some good advise about this. I am looking to hire a category "a" car where you will not be charged for excess on CDW? I am looking to spend arround £100 for a week.

    Hi Pach,

    We have also used CarJet in Portugal and would highly recommend them. Apart from their good customer care they were also the cheapest when we rented.

    Carjet veterans here too :)
    They are brokers, but they always seem to come up with the goods.
    Women priests. Great. Now there's priests of both sexes I don't listen to - Bill Hicks.

    Yep, we've used Carjet in Portugal too. They are consolidators, and our car was with Europcar. Car broke down on the 3rd day and we had a brand new replacement car within the hour. Excellent.
