    Advantages Advantages Time Saving, Cost Competitive, Leading Car Rental Companies

    Disadvantages Disadvantages as there is a third party involved, there is a risk the booking process might go awry

    Holiday Autos (www.holidayautos.co.uk) is part of the www.lastminute.com group and has been in existence for a number of years. Essentially they operate as a broker to find the best deals in car rental across a broad range of countries. Although booking through a broker, the company has deals with all the major international car rental companies such as Europcar, Alamo etc and so you can be assured you won't have to pick up a car from "rent-a-wreck" or someone similar! The main obvious attraction is that you are provided with the best rates and availability for the dates you choose, and ... more

    Advantages Advantages Competitive prices from an excellent website

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Online processing may occasionally fail

    After successfully booking my package holiday and my travel insurance online, it made sense to complete the trio by renting a car through an online agent. There are any number of sites competing to offer all types of car rental with a wide disparity in prices, but all I needed was something basic and cheap for a week in Lanzarote. HolidayAutos.com claims to be the world's largest leisure car rental site. You can link via bargainholidays.com, or to the sites own home page. Recommended by Which? Webtraders, and winner of a whole host of accolades, the site is extremely simple and well-laid out ... more

    Advantages Advantages Prices can't be beat!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None!

    Holiday Autos has been around for a few years now. Once an independent company, it was bought by the lastminute.com group. Thankfully, nothing changed when this happened and their service has been as good as ever. I've used them numerous times, and most recently on a trip to California. This time, I went luxury and rented a convertible. Most times I rent an average family car. My experiences have all been for US trips, but in various States. When you go to the Holiday Auto's website, www.holidayautos.co.uk, it couldn't be easier. First you choose the country you are travelling too. You may ... more

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Loads - cost almost double in the end

    Booked a long weekend car rental at barcelona airport through holiday autos and was given a booking with 'Centauro' rental cars. Turns out they are not even in teh terminal and you have to wait over an hour for a courtesy coach to their compound 10 minutes away. We paid for the entire booking through HA with Amex, but were told by the rental company that we had to pay an extra 480 Euros for fuel and accident excess despiet having inclusive insurance. When we reluctantly offered our amex card we were told they dont take it!. We didn't have any other credit cards and ended up paying via my UK ... more

    Advantages Advantages Inclusive prices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages unhelpful customer service

    As we are going on our hols in October and had not booked a hire car with the tour operator, I thought that I would trawl the net for competitive quotes, which I had successfully done for the holiday, travel insurance and airport parking. After a few high prices I came to holiday autos, put in all my details for a quote and was quite surprised when it came back cheaper than all the others, I then proceeded to the booking stage put in all our details, clicked to confirm and got the message this website is experiencing difficulties, so thought I'll try again in a little while, 1 hour later I ... more
