thepinkladez_2

hi me and my husband a 3 year old are of to portugal this summer and need car hire just wondered if anyone could help me as i have never booked car hire before and have a few questions!

• can anyone suggest a reputable company?
• do they provide a car seat for my daughter?are these safe, suitable for age, cost effective or am i better taking our own?
• does any car companies let you use airmiles towards cost of car hire?

any help would be much appreciated as i havent got a clue on what im looking for and what is a good deal and what isn't!
we are going on june 19th til july 3rd flying into faro, if anyone can find anything good!?
i have looked at this:

in the past we have used our clubcard points and used avis

it makes it more expensive on the rental rate but your not paying real money for it - well that was our reckoning anyway !!

hi from Portugal

Used to work for Avis Rent-A-Car.

I live in Portugal now and publish information about this wonderful country on our site www.portugalnyt.dk. Only in Danish language so far I am afraid, but we are working on the English translation.

We have used this car rental broker company http://www.portugal-auto-rentals.com/ with success. If you have a good company agremement with say Avis it is probably cheaper.

If not call or email this broker and you will get a competitive price. We have found them very friendly end all rentals worked out fine. You might even get an Avis car...

Cheers

i have recently used sixt who had very good service etc. child seat was provided for a 3 year old but this was just a booster seat- mine enjoyed the change but it is whether you would be happy with this. most airlines let you put your own through with suitcases if it is an issue
