Auto Europe is a broker - they don't have any cars of their own to rent out.
Arnold Clark is a locally owned chain that I have used successfully in the past. Get quotes direct from Arnold Clark and from Celtic Legend - http://www.celticlegend.co.uk/car/index.htm
Celtic Legend were cheaper when I booked.

If you are American, rent from an American company so that if anything fouls up later, you can get recompense. Europcar is reputable and acceptable too. Local outfits won't care about ever receiving your business again.

Enterprise Rent-a-car has always worked for me. They offer a free-pick up and drop off service, and their prices were always the cheapest I've found when comparing it to other more well-known companies.

I've done well with Enterprise. However, keep this in mind: If you are relying on your credit card to cover insurance, be warned! Most coverage tops out at $50,000 value for the vehicle. It is very possible that your rental car will be such. Granted, when we rented in 2008, the pound was $1.90, and it's now more like $1.60, but check first. We had to buy CDW insurance, and hadn't counted on that.

AND (Arnold Clark) their inclusive insurance packages are excellent—no surprises when you pop that tire or scrape the side ...they used to be only in the city but now have a very convenient airport location.

peterad: "Ditto renting from an American company. Auto europe and Europcar have terrible reviews if you google them"
Your post makes no sense. First of all AutoEurope IS an American company. Second -- they are not an rental company, but a broker. And most important - they get overwhelmingly positive reviews.
They are not the only way to go - but I find that about 75% of the time they will have the best rates. On my recent trip they were the best I could find for my Scotland/northern England hire, while Avis directly was best for my rental on Jersey.
