Carhiremarket

Does anyone have any experience of carhiremarket?
Their prices are coming up very reasonable at the moment compared to prices recently.
I am after a STD SUV from MCO 23/05/16 till 16/06/16 so 24 days.
The price quoted is £603.20 (using USA15 promo code) with Alamo the supplier.
T.C.B shows a cash back rate of 6.3%-8.4%
This takes another £38-£50 off (roughly)
Cheapest price I can find but never used them before so hope someone can pass on some valuable advice.
Also am I right in thinking if I book through them I will not be able to use the Skip the line feature.

Thank you.

99% of third party suppliers using Alamo you can skip the counter. Will check ref prices later
Edit. I haven't heard of them but thats not to say they aren'tany good.

Edit. Just checked their reviews - terrible, but thats for European rentals but the complaints are about them not the cars!

That doesn't sound too good then.
Thanks for your quick reply Tom you seem to be the resident car hire expert on here so your comments are gratefully received.
Good prices though, maybe too good to be true.

Loads of experts on here. It's just I'm retired so have more time!
Dont panic yet as others may have had good experiences with them. Always worth waiting.
Have you checked Brits and usrentacar etc?

Thanks again Tom
I have checked everywhere and this one is about £40 cheaper than the next best, all going well with T.C.B
Will keep a close eye and hope for some positive feedback.
Do like the fact its with Alamo, its just the reliability of the 3rd party I'm worried about.

£40 is well worth saving and let's be honest it's a meal!
However for that amount I would rather go with a more well known supplier. You will be fine with Alamo but I wouldn't want to get to the garage and find there's an issue with the 3rd party supplier and then have to fork out for a full price rental.
Best of luck in your searching

Thanks for all your replies, suppose I better give this one a miss as no one seems to have used them previously, not worth the risk.
Shame as after cashback works out roughly £80.00 cheaper than Alamo brits or autoeurope etc.
Still might not be cheaper if something goes wrong.
Thanks again guys for your helpful advice.
