Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points
Hello,
I wondered if anyone could help with some advice with car rental at Faro. I have The Platinum Card for collision damage waiver and for elite status with Avis and Hertz. I originally booked with Avis as I had a cashback offer with Amex. However, a Hertz offer has now appeared to use by the end of the month.
Has anyone got any wisdom to impart about which one is best to use? I have used Hertz in Mallorca previously and found them to be okay. We’re not arriving into Faro until about 8pm and I noticed that the Hertz office is actually in the terminal. Or am I best to just stay with Avis?
Thanks in advance,
Martin
The offices are next to one another, I’ve used both and pick by price. Never had any issues, although I do the usual checks etc before leaving and have excess insurance.
Thanks for that Hbommie!I am a newbie with car hire.
I just chose the absolute lowest level of cover that was included with Avis. I presume this means that I am covered by the Amex Platinum cover now? There was no way for me to not have the CDW on the website.
The email confirmation says that it includes:
