What website is a good place to book a rental car in Germany?

Hello, I am using www.europcar.com to look for a rental car. I am wondering what other website I can use to book a car with an automatic transmission. Thank you.

Kemwel and autoeurope are sister companies; sometimes the same car will be cheaper to rent through one than the other so never hurts to compare.

I've had good luck with Gemut. Whether you use them or not you should down load their booklet on renting a ca in Europe.

Comparison shop in Kayak, then go directly to the company offering the best rates and meeting your needs, provided you are comfortable with the company. Note that Thrifty and Dollar have an unusually high number of complaints on these forums.

Excellent customer service at gemut.com, and in my experience, exceptional pricing (they're a broker, so they shop several sources).

AutoEurope and Kemwel, but don't just use the website. Call them to ask questions and get confirmation about pricing, etc. They provide excellent overseas assistance if you need it. I've used them 100+ times. Also get Amex's $24.99-a-month insurance coverage.
