If you booked car hire some time ago for the future check latest prices as I just have & was amazed to find they're a lot less. Rebook & save !

EG. We had quotes last August/September with both doyouspain & hirecarsinspain for March 1st - 25th

Group B in both cases. A Renault Clio 5 dr with a/c (or similar) with doyouspain, a Citreon C3 petrol 5 dr with a/c (or similar) with hirecarsinspain

Doyouspain had quoted 325.71€, hirecarsinspain 301.71€ so we booked with hirecarsinspain ( using Econorent  who we ideally wanted to use).

As someone had been saying check out http://www.travelsupermarket.com/c/cheap-car-hire/ we did & found cheaper deals which made me think & I went back to the other two for new quotes.

VERY INTERESTINGLY doyouspain are now 193.38€ (132.33€ less), hirecarsinspain are 243.43€ (58.28€ less)

Thought I'd just mention this. Perhaps members ought to check any you arranged some time ago if, like us, you book early.

I find a very good price at "Easycar", but I donn't know this firme.

Has someone already hired with this company?

Before we moved to Spain we always used Skycars and cannot fault their service.

Great prices too!

You can find them at www.skycars.com

another trick is the compare locations. We just booked a large van with Europcar and the price for one location was 500€ and the other location (20 mis away) 800€.

We got the same result with Carjet for hire in March and April almost double the price. As always it pays to shop around got the same vehicle from Doyou much cheaper.

Even Econorent, €135 for two weeks in February, has the same car for €224 at the end of April.  Think I'll wait until closer to the time and see what transpires.

It is always worth shopping around. We booked with DYS in Jan for 4th April for 10days at the time we were quoted 168euro after checking the site a number of times we then got the car for 111euro!!!!

We had also booked for 18th July for a month, and orginally quoted 430 and a few weeks ago I checked again and got the same car for 368euor, so a great saving for us.

It is easy to change your booking just a matter of emailing them through the site.

I love a bargain.

Whichever other broker folks recommend, I always seem to find them more expensive than Argus.

Example of 7 days 22-29 April at Alicante (Clio/Fiesta 5dr):

Argus €97

Econorent €108

DYS €110

Carjet €114

Skycars €122

Can anyone beat €97?

Hi i have been looking at the car hire prices in Spain but the cheapest is not all the best deal as some charge more for the extra cover than the cheapest rentals deals Irene

I must admit, being that I rent for six weeks or more, I used hirecarsinspain.com last year and they came up trumps.  Best deal overall.  Have booked them again this year and, having checked with numerous other sites, they still come up the best - especially in view of the fact they offer a free upgrade if you rent for 28 days or more.

So, if anyone is renting for more than 28 days, I'd be interested to know if you get a better deal than they offer!

We always get a quote from rentspain . com I have booked 12/03/09 to 22/03/09 a group CC car VW Polo 5 dr or similar for Euros 72.90. I booked this back in November. If you get a quote and don't make a booking they often ask why. If you tell them price they often come back with a better quote.

Last September they cut the prices the day before I flew out. I e mailed asking if they were going to reduce my quote. They did and upgraded me to a Seat Ibiza Diesel and charged me 95 Euros a week. However, I've been looking for prices later in the year and they don't seem so good for new quotes at the moment.

Can anyone help?

we are about to book a car with doyouspain, we are flying into Gib however generally collect a car when booking with crown over in La Linea, La Linea was not given as an option on the dys website-so are we picking our car up from La Linea (underground car park) or Gib?
