I've rented from http://www.economycarrentals.com/ in Turkey, Sicily and Poland with no problems. On the other hand, I've had no damage to the various cars I rented.

We used Ecomony car rentals May 2011, picked up in Tarragona and dropped off in Girona, without any problem. Our contract was with National/Atesa. We are using Economy for two rentals in Italy next month. We have always been pleased with our rentals through them but like Michael have never had any damage to our rental cars. "Knock on wood"!!

i like www.carrentals.com

thanks so much to all of you!

We've had some excellent prices from them, but they do operate a full to empty fuel policy, so be sure you'll use a full tank.

We often use them and are satisfied with them. I always recommend going for no excess coverage though, even if you have a credit card that supposedly covers everything. It saves on hassles if you do get a tiny dent and you don't have to worry about refunds etc.

I've heard it differently. http://www.economycarrentals.com/ offers cars only with no excess, aka no deductible, but it is the broker who offers it not the rental agency, so that in case of damage, the rental agency will still bill the renter's credit card who then must ask for reimbursement from http://www.economycarrentals.com/ (I use the web site because there are several brokers who have the word "economy" in their name).

EconomyCarRentals is a car rental broker based in Greece and has one branch in Sweden.

has one branch in Sweden.

That's probably more than in many other countries since it does not provide the cars themselves. I rented through it in Turkey and Poland, and I am not aware that it has offices in either country.

Do not a rent a car until you leave Madrid. Additionally, we always try and rent a car on the outskirts of a city, so we do not have negotiate the traffic and streets of that city.

We have rented cars in Spain many times and they are a burden in cities, even smaller cities, because the streets were not originally built for cars.

You should also find which rental car company you will actually go to.

Re which company supplies the car when booked through EconomyCarRentals... they supply you with that info and the paperwork required as soon as you do the booking. In my case they charged just a dollar on my credit card... the balance was paid direct to Avis when I picked up the car in Athens.

I did a whois search on the domsin and sure enough their address is in Crete. Who knew? Not me anyway! LOL
