CARJET rental
 
I know this has been covered to some extent elsewhere but I would like comments from people who have used CARJET in Spain. I need a car for 28 days in March and CARJET is about 60% of the price of others like AutoEurope.How did your rental experiance work out?

Conquistador. I would like to know also as they are hundreds of dollars less expensive then anyone else I have checked so far.
We will use them in May in Portugal.
Posting to keep this to the top.

We rented a mid-size car from Carjet in Oct 2004 and were given a blue Citroen Xsara, 4-door, diesel. We picked it up at the airport in Madrid and dropped off at the airport in Malaga with no drop-off fee. Our car was clean, low mileage, and we had no problems with it.

Carjet was quick to respond to our emails and we saved a little over $100 over the other bids I had received.

The car was from National Atesa, a large rental car company in Spain.

Pick up was easy and drop off took about 5 min. We had no damage, they signed off, and away we went. We'd definitely rent from them again. Oh . . . and we were not pressured to take any additional insurance. They offered, we declined and that was that. All round good experience!

Good luck,

Can you answer this question for me. Did you pay over the internet with a credit car or at check in in spain. We will be renting at the Malaga airport and is there a drop at the train station?

I just booked with Carjet at Malaga and you have the option of paying over the net or waiting until you pick the car up. I don't know why anyone would pay in advance? No incentive to do that I could see.

We rent over the net and received a voucher. No problem.

We've previously rented from Kemwel, AutoEurope, EuropCar, and Budget and we've always paid in advance and received a voucher.

Conquistador. We booked over the internet and printed up a Direct Payment Car REntal Voucher from the Customer Zone tree of the email confirmation.
I even called them directly because it seemed too easy and they said just take the voucher with you when you pick up the car. Pay when you get there.
I didn't see any advantage to paying ahead although with the sliding dollar it locks in a price.

I have rented from CarJet and will pick it up on Thursday at Malaga airport...I was told about the company from the British owner of the apt. that I have rented for a month. They are MOST reasonable and there is no deductible..fully insured, no scratch and dent stuff..a Peugeot 307 automatic. I have always rented from Auto Europe in France..I compared prices and CarJet is far less!!

Hi Gracejoan, Please post a reply when you get back or when ever. We leave 3/3 so would hope I can decide before then. Size for 4 adults and suitcases to get to hotel and travel around. We would pick up at Malaga but is there a train drop off?

Carjet web site indicates pick up at Malaga train station as well as airport.
