Service Car Rental

Anyone used this company before? The best rates I could find on the web.Around $200 a week for Daihatsu Terios. Is it too good to be true.

I haven't used them, but the rate isn't "too good to be true" Once you add the Mandatory SLInsurance to their base rate of $234 you pay $339 a week, assuming your credit card picks up the CDW (or you have to add another $105).

There are several companies that offer the similar or lower green season rates for the same or similar vehicles. Check Dollar, Avanti, Economy (no charge for one way rentals), Elegante, and Europa.

Thanks for the reply. I am looking for decent rates, however I would rather pay a little more to use a company with a good reputation. I hear a lot of good feedback about Dollar. Any other input would be appreciated.
Gracias

Dollar is good. Have only heard one negative about them charging for gas when the tank was full and they took care of that eventually.
Europa (used to be called Prego) is reliable and fair.

I've heard that Adobe is well respected down there. I also hear that it is good to book trough a travel agent because the rental companies are less likely to try to rip you off. The agents are repeat customers so they need to establish a good relationship. That being said, my quick research has shown that CRS Tours provides me a good rate and a reputable car rental outfit. Check out this site and ask for a quote.

I think I'll be using them for my trip next week.

The part I like is the free upgrade to the 0 deductable and liability insurance.
