No. I always use AutoEurope.
I'm with StCirq. We've used AE at least 90% of the time. The other option is to go directly with Europcar.
Thanks for your feedback.
I have used AutoEurope a couple of times in the past but this time the deal they are offering is ordinary so I am looking around.
I was hoping someone may have a comment one way or the other re the above mentioned car hire websites.
I may have to take a chance and be the guinea pig.
Cheers

I also always use Auto Europe. If you find a better rate and call them they usually match it.
I've used http://www.economycarrentals.com/ in Sicily, Turkey and Poland with no problems. As long as the car is returned to the same location, the price was considerably lower than Autoeurope's. But Autoeurope/Kemwel offered better deals in France, perhaps because I could carry the CDW on my visa card.
I found Auto Europe is best for m9.

They do say they will match a lower price you may find elsewhere...
www.kemwel.com
Compare to AE and pick the better
Hi man,

I use www.kemwel.com, www.novacarhire.com and www.autoeurope.com in that order.
Thankyou to all for your feedback
Before I first posted I went back to AutoEurope to see if they could match other offers but with no success hence the reason for my post.
While I really like AutoEurope (they have served me well in the past) they come very far short of rates offered by the internet companies mentioned in my original post.
To Michael with thanks :-
I have looked at economycarrentals and they also offer a deal that is enticing - I have added them to my list.
I guess I may be the proverbial guinea pig.
Cheers and thanks

Man_With_No_Name,
I believe that Australian residents can have the CDW carried on their visa card. I doubt that anyone can beat Autoeurope/Kemwel's basic rate, particularly if one wishes to have a one-way rental.
