Do you know the phrase , " If something sounds too good to be true , it probably is " ?

Gee thanks......I guess that is why I am asking here. They are about $100 cheaper. Sorry but that is why I am asking. Do you have personal experience with this company? Have you heard anything bad about them? That is my question.

Sorry , but I have never heard of them . None the less , in the event , that their intentions are pure , it is unlikely that they can deliver such a great deal in an industry that is cutthroat to start and up against major corporate competitors . They sound like upstart consolidators to me , and could be problematic , even if they have the best of intentions .

I just looked at the website , and it fully justifies my initial impression . Probably a couple of guys and computers running a " boiler room " operation , I wouldn't chance this on my best day .

Even a couple of guys with computers in a boiler room is not necessarily bad, that is how the very reliable train ticket sales site Capitainetrain got started. But you will be the beta testers, so to speak.
The thing to be wary of is that the lowest price may well be a variation of the "bait-and-switch" strategy that seems to be current. Show a very low price, then hard sell the need for way-over-priced insurance that will probably exceed the cost of the rental when the sucker, excuse me, customer shows up to pick up the car. If the customer resists the scare tactics, when they turn the car in, back-bill their credit card for "damage" after they have left for home. Then the "customer" will have to fight to get their money back and they hope the "customer" will not have the patience to see it out and give up.

Someone on a mother site says they use them all over Australia and that they are part of Autoeurope.
