Car Hire
 
We are thinking of picking up a car in Faro this year, I need a 7 seater any ideas of where I can get a good competitive price? The usual companies are £££. We need it for 2 weeks.


Thanks

Dependson what you call the 'usual companies'. We usually use Economy Car Hire which is now called Zest. We did have a Citroen Picasso one trip and I thought that the cost was reasonable so you could try them if you haven't already.

By 'usual' companies, I think you mean the big name ones. Yes you pay a bundle! But you get cars that are new and rotated after a few months.

We are happy to pocket the difference and go cheaper and take a car with more age, milage, scratches etc.

Note make sure the TYRES are OK - for your safety of course and also if you get stopped - you as driver are responsible.
