Fill the form in and you'll get quotes from loads of companys.

I always used carjet.com, but i found them a little more expensive these days. Got Quidco? Do the search through travelsupermarket, then buy through Quidco.com.

I recently got mine through a company who go through holidayautos and got it through Quidco.

Recomend these, i used them in Feb and booked again for Aug, and dont charge for fuel, and they have a 10-15% off offer on at the moment, plus you can book through rpoints and get 90 points.
Dont know about other cashback sites offering points/cash.

And they will beat carjet prices

Similar to Rawy I got back from there last Sunday!!
I ordered through Carjet for a Renault Clio or equivalent and got upgraded to a Ford Focus. That only cost 110 Euros!! Seems I got a bargin.

I was a little annoyed about paying for the Fuel though because I knew we wouldnt really be doing alot of travelling except getting to our hotel which was on the other side of the Island and the odd trip around the local area.And certainly we were never gonna do 300 odd miles which is what I'd guess that full tank would do.Apart from that I'd wholly recommend booking through them.

I booked and paid in advance for car hire, but they only had a smaller car than I booked when I got to the airport, I need to claim back some money from the car hire broker. The amount was over £100 and I paid with my credit card. Does anybody have any tips?

I'm thinking of calling the credit card company first and getting it classified as an overcharge and then arguing with the car hire broker.

I just booked with the A code for a week in vancouver, price came down from $380 to $180! Thanks for this, just hope I dont have to impersonate an avis employee! Are these numbers transferable? Could I claim my brother works for avis or something?

my friend use this for portugual and no questions were asked but by the time she opted for the waiver of excess from £800 to £100 it doubled the rental price...though she assurred me it wouldve still been cheaper then her original quote from another car hire company...so do anticipate paying out more money when you collect the car.

If you take out a seperate annual Europe excess insurance from insurance4carhire for just £49 you are then covered completely for your excess. It's obviously much cheaper than opting for the waiver from the hire companies. If you end up with damage to the car (including the underside, tyres or windows you can claim the excess back through the insurance!
