Enjoy Car Hire

We are looking at car hire in Portugal in the summer and enjoycarhire.com are coming out way cheaper than any other company. Has anyone got any experience of using them - good or bad? I'm a bit wary as i have not heard of them before.

Thanks

    No I've not used them - but I've booked to use them in malaga - £195 for 11/12 days in april school holidays for a ford focus and collect with half a tank of petrol and return empty. they've put me with malagacar - off site but with a courtesy minibus. fingers crossed. when I found them (via traveljungle) I posted on here an no one had used them or heard of them and as you've probably found yourself, googling them didn't come up with anything either.
  • Bump.

    Anyone used them??
  • Like Mel I have booked with them as well, all information has been sent and just now have to wait and see. All seems fine though.

    Are you serious ????
    Booking a hire car thats so obviously cheap and nobody has heard of them.
    Don't want to worry you but I just hope they have a car for you when you get there !!!

    good point Mervyn - i think I'll email malagacar tomorrow with my voucher reference and make sure they've got my booking. I'll let you know how i get on.
  • While I agree that it maybe good to check, I found Enjoy Car Hire on "Dealchecker" website, from previous posts Mel found them on "TravelJungle" so I am pretty sure that they are a real company otherwise these sites would not entertain them.

    just to let you know i emailed malagacar with whom enjoy had booked my car and asked them to confirm the details after quoting my booking reference given by Enjoy. they confirmed all the details, price, etc so i feel confident - what more can you do to check?

    Try carrentalabroad.com with fully comp insurance, nil excess and free drivers.

    I have been using them for a few years never had any problems, service is very good and the price is best you will find.

    Not forgetting at the airport as well.

  • We're thinking booking with enjoycarhire for Portugal at Xmas. On Travelsupermarket they came up by far with the cheapest quote.
    Anybody used them recently and if so, what was you experience?
    Thanks
