Car hire.

[craigdub]

I need to hire a car for a couple of weeks for the wife to run around in, nothing fancy just a reasonable 4 seater.
Any suggestions on where to try, and where not to go!!

Cheers.

Mrs C has a friend in the business, and I got a Honda Civic for 2,000 per month. If that's appealing let me know and I'll forward on her number.....the mate, NOT Mrs C...although, for an additional 2,000 per month, you can have her too.

I went through Budget and managed to get a tiny Chevy Spark for 1650. For 1900 I could have had a Hyundai Accent, which in hindsight I should have done. That was their rate for one full month, but it was a corporate rate, so you might need to barter to get it!

Jackie by any chance?

If so I reckon half the cars hired in Dubai come through her.

Managed to get a decent deal through Thrifty for a couple of weeks.

Anyone need a milltek for a Mk6 GTI ? ;-)

Would a long term lease be a normality? I don't really want to buy anything, unless it's a cheap shed for knocking about in.

I rent the wife a Ford Figo for 1400 chips per month on a monthly deal. No-one even comes close to it while I have been searching for another...

That's a bargain, where from please?

[oilydan]

Thrifty.

Its a manual too (which is why it's so cheap - nobody here can drive 'stick').

[TheWeasel]

I certainly know what to do with a stick in the sand!

How about a rail card. like the oyster?

Can I get that number also please, a colleague needs to rent a vehicle on a semi-long term deal....
The number of the branch of Thrifty that had the Ford for 1400aed wouldn't go amiss either I reckon.

These chaps are great value if you want a 4 door car.
Belhasa Car rental 055 497 3035
I rented a RENAULT FLUENCE for 1,750 aed per month. (On a monthly basis)

This is by far the best value and you get a proper car, not a tin can which wouldn't stand a chance against a 4x4.

Also, the likes of Thrify and others want to take a copy of your credit card and leave and "OPEN" amount. Yeah...goodluck. I aint leaving my credit card details with an open amount to anyone, let alone with some gypsy in some back end garage in the back of al quoz.

The chaps above only require 1 month paymnet up front and thats it. They will also deliver the car fro free. Highly recommended.
