People Carrier hire - Lisbon Airport March 2013

[Roger Woods]

Taking the Woods bunch next year, what car hire places have any of you guys used, any recomendations?

[S2Mike]

Not sure of your plans but on our last visit the public transport was excellent and good value, do you need a car?
Buses to the train station, collect from the exit door of airport,the stops are displayed clearly as you progress on the route, the driver actually stopped at the entrance of the train station, because she said the trains are on-time and it was close to time as we arrived. Sure enough, almost to the second, our train to Estoril arrived. My Portuguese is not good but their English in most places is excellent. It was like stepping back in time to the 60's with the quality of service and friendly attentive respect.
We were very impressed, and will return soon.

I booked my last 3 hire cars in Portugal at Lisbon and Faro with Holiday Autos, always worked out well

Thanks S2Mike - We will need a car owing to having 4 kids and no doubt mountains of bags!, it will make a change for us as we travel mostly to the States and the Middle and Far East, we have a nice villa booked so really looking forward to it

Hertz are coming up with £433 for 13 days (plus insurance) which I dont think is bad - Views?
