Terrible experience! Terrible experience! I was charged twice: first time when the payment didn’t go through and the second when it did. Be careful of the hidden costs and charges! We paid €218 for voucher through Car Del Mar and only €160 was used ad the voucher, the rest was VAT and service fee. On top of that we paid €200 MORE for car insurance through Hertz. Customer service at Car Del Mar is extremely poor, agents DON’T follow up on the cases and simply don’t resolve them.

Product misleading (insurance) and… Product misleading (insurance) and after-servce is terrible.

Worst customer service Worst customer service. Made a reservation for 5pm and happened to get to the rental place 1.5 hrs earlier. They couldn’t give me my rental car even though I wanted to pay for the extra time so they made me wait! Seriously, what is wrong with you, I’m trying to give you more money for extra time and all you have to do is change the time in the reservation and you can’t do it even though the car is sitting right there in the parking lot.

All round good service Our car hire was with Auto Rent who we have used before. They are one of the best at Faro. The staff are friendly and helpful, the car is always fine and their prices are fair. They also use the 'full to full' fuel policy which is much better than some other companies use. I would definitely recommend them.

Cape car hire Very competitively priced, efficient and very easy to deal with. I've booked with them before and have no hesitation in recommending using this excellent company. Collected car from Cape Town airport, all went very smoothly and returned the car three weeks later, Again efficient and smooth.
