What I mean is that if you pick the cheapest category at each, Cicar\/Cabrera Medina will give you a Fiat 500 or similar (a real city car), while Autoreisen will give you a C3 or similar (better on the open road) for a few euros less per day.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Number of branches:<\/strong> to keep costs down, Autoreisen only has desks at the airports and doesn&#8217;t offer delivery. Cicar\/Cabrera Medina, on the other hand, has branches all over and offers car delivery as soon as you hire for more than 3 days.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Changing islands:<\/strong> it&#8217;s possible, but always best to let them know in advance.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Payment:<\/strong> Autoreisen is very strict about this \u2013 you can only pay by card in the name of the person who made the booking.
