Car rental in Larnaca through aggregators
Booking through search aggregators is often more convenient than through a specific firm - you get offers from smaller players who offer more attractive pricing. Moreover, you have a fleet of several rental firms at your disposal, meaning a wider choice, even compared to a larger renter.
The principle is similar to hotel search engines. You need to enter the city or airport, start and end dates of the rental, start time, and also apply various filters at the search query stage.
After the results are displayed, you need to visit the car's page, read the detailed terms, fill in your details, and make a prepayment. The main amount is paid on-site when signing the contract.
Aggregators differ from each other in the number of rental companies, interface, and overall ease of use, as well as some additional incentive programs and other extra options.
