    Use discount below. It pops up anyway after a period of inactivity. They seem pretty good from the reviews I've seen.

    I used them twice and they were dead-on. Not in the actual airports but nearby. Very sound to deal with.

    The best car hire company I've ever used. Always available great value and no hidden extras.

    Used them about 10 times. Used to use Hertz sixt and europcar before.

    If this is Nacho and co (formerly known as Topcar rentals) then use them. Cars aren't as new as Hertz but cash price and no messing about. I've used them 3 times so far. Sound lads.

    Just back from a trip flying into Malaga where we hired a Scenic from Malagacar.com. I've hired cars from them before without a hitch but this time kind of annoyed me.

    I arrived on a late night flight with an eight month old, I'd specified a baby seat to suit. When I checked in the guy basically pointed at a baby seat on the floor and said take that one it just clips in (isofix). I know from our own isofix that they don't just clip in and require further mounting points. I was left fend for myself outside the door despite asking for help as I was unfamiliar with the seat and the car. I eventually figured out the Scenic has chassis mounting points in the boot area and got the seat properly mounted. If I'd followed their recommendations the seat would have been fitted incorrectly.

    The next day in the daylight I realised the inside of windscreen was filthy and then a couple of days later realised there was no screenwash either.

    I don't think any car hire companies will fit baby seats, we hired in New York and where given the seat in a box and sent on our way. Too much risk for the company if they do anything.

    To be honest it was my first time hiring a baby seat and I expected the seat would be installed on our arrival. I do see the logic in allowing customers to fit their own seats so the hire company is not responsible for the installation but at the same time its their car and their seat so a little help with pointing out the installation points in the car would be helpful. As I said if I'd followed the brief instructions they gave me which I'm sure others would the seat would have been unsafe.
