Car rentals

I rarely rent cars in the ROU these days as I live here and have my own. Hire vehicles here pay rather more road fund taxes than privately owned vehicles and many departmentos insist that they have special number plates.

When I first arrived I used to do a lot of hiring and found that the cheapest way was to use on-line car hire comparison sites to access car hire sites to hire a car from Carrasco airport... usually via Cartrawler from Europcar via a Dublin company called Argus :-)

Broadly speaking this process only cost about two thirds as much as booking directly with Europcar on line and one third as much as hiring a car in person from them at the airport. We have a local supplier of hire vehicles where I live in the campo but he charges as much as the walk-in rates at the airport.

I'm away to the UK and Spain next month. The UK car I'll be renting comes through an American price comparison site and a Spanish booking agency but the car I'll be renting in Spain came through a UK comparison site and my old pals Argus in Dublin. Car hire rates seem to defy logic both here and elsewhere in this world :-)
