"Our main goal is simple, to provide you with the lowest cost car rental in the Algarve with the best service.", it says on their homepage and I can say that it is only true! I have hired some cars in my life and I have also worked in the hotel sector so I know what toexpect from car rental agencies usually.
As I originally wanted to rent from Luzcar in Lagos over the 1st of May and was rejected due to floods of people who had been faster than me, I walked just down the street for 50 m close to Lagos Marina where I came about the inviting-looking car rental that had bikes and scooters for rent as well, standing in front of the garage.
As I walked into the office I was immediately greeted by two ladies who both seemed very well spoken both in Portuguese and English and made no fuss. Easy car rental deluxe. Patricia offered me, right from the start, the cheapest option that would still include the "Teilkasko" insurance on the road. For a 24 hour rent, 40 Euros, which is Un-Beat-Able! For an additional 8 Euros, I went for the Vollkasko, the careful German that I am.
I got a small car, filled with gasoline and she even showed me around the whole car to make sure we both agree on the little marks in the car paint. She even made sure I knew about the fact that the highways are going to be tolled, but that I would be able to get whereever I wanted to go in the Algarve on the national roads anyway. And by the way, the unlimited mileage is included!
I have seriously never felt more safe when renting a car, because normally, you never know about hidden costs here and there. Here, the staff is straight to the point, well-educated and supportive. I can only wish them that they keep up this great service and I will surely come back for their services on my next vacation and tell my friends about it. read more
