[QUOTE=Bravo]Gruhmbards, How much was the rate per day and what type of car? Do you find you get a better rate over the internet than if you walked into the office? My friend said it was best to send a brasilian in to work out the price, because she could get a better rate, than the special gringo price they have.[/QUOTE]Bravo:
My last rental was a Group P4, Model VECTRA ELEG SEDAN AU as specified in the invoice.
The rate was 156 reales per day. They invoice the GPS on another note that I cant find at this time, but it was something around 10 reales per day.
My own experience sending a Brasilian to work out the price, or to work the reservation prior to my arrival is not good. I want to be clear that I am speaking about MY experience.
When this happened I did get a better price, but when I arrived to the booth I was requested to sign an "extension driver contract" and charged for that.
Also, and this is very important, many times when you make internet reservations it happens that when you arrive they don`t have the type of car you signed for, and you get a free upgrade (this happens mostly in GIG and in GRU).
I know that there are cheaper rates with other rental companies and I do have friends that use them. They don`t have a place at the airport and I don`t know if they deliver the car at GIG or if you can leave it there.
I have these other references that I used some times (don`t remember if they have auto or GPS):
(21) 3257-3700 - LOCABARRA, in Barra da Tijuca, they hava a 3 day minimum rental period but prices are good.
(21) 7835-7791 - TELECAR, they are located in Copacabana. I remember they deliver cars for the hotels near by.
