Iv found a very competitive price from Budget. Where else can I hire from and what sort of prices am I looking at?

Thanks

What was the make of the car offered at 170 BD ?

I think may be just a small car. Like a yaris or a Nissan tiida

As they have many cars I guess it's a big leasing company !

Still, go with a well known dealer

Like Budget or Sixt

Try Tooranco in Juffair - very competitive prices and great service.

And they take cash!!

I second what Scottrace said. We had two cars from Tooranco and paid cash every month. When my wife was in a car accident, they handled all the necessaries (after we went to the traffic department), gave us a new car to use and even made follow up calls to make sure she was alright.

Just make sure you check the condition of the car compared to the car check that they do before you drive away with it.

I too have heard good reviews about Tooranco, though I have never used their services.
