or to use a car-hire broker such as Holiday Autos which will

What are car hire
brokers and low-cost rental firms?
Car-hire brokers are just ike travel
agents, only specialising in car hir. They are intermediaries who find
and negotiate the
cheapest rates possible with
the car-hire companies that actually provide the rental cars.
For example, if
you
choose a car from Holiday Autos the vehicle you pick up may well
actually be sourced from
Avis,
Budget
, Europcar
, or some other well-known name...
only at the special rate not available to
people booking directly. You may even pick your car up at the Avis or
Europcar desk. And the others work in the same way.
There are also
other local
low-cost operators,
working as selected locations in Spain. For these, you may pick your
car up directly at the airport; alternatively, you may have to phone a
local number once you reach the airport, and someone will come and pick
you up to drive you to the car-hire park a short distance away from the
airport.

is not a car hire company, nor a broker, and is not party to any
car-rental
transaction that you may make.
From this page, you will be directed to a third-party site,
Holiday-Autos, a UK-based broker working with reputable car-hire
operators and throughout
Spain and worldwide. Travellers are reminded
that it is unusual for car
hire companies to guarantee a specific model of car; in virtually all
cases, advanced bookings will guarantee a particular type of
car
(compact, economy, SUV, etc.), but not a specific model. This is
true even with the largest operators, except when specific
terms of the vehicle rental contract allow the hirer to specify a
particular make of
vehicle and/or model.
