I've been renting from Al Mulla for several years and just got a call telling me that my cush 80-KD-a-month rental is now a thing of the past. If I want to renew, I'm going to have to pay 120KD a month for the same car. I knew this was too good to be true!

Any suggestions on other rental agencies where I might get the smallest, simplest model they have in the 80KD per month range?

I'm renting my car at Payless Car Rental. I have the cheapest one of their fleet, a Seat Leon, and will pay for the next academic year 90KD. They are quite good in their service and would definitely recommend them. Their office is next to The Avenues, phone 9010613. Good luck!

Why not just get a guarantaur and rent to buy? you will get a new car, pay about 110 a month with the option to buy or return.

Imagine yourself in a black Yukon Denali......with spinners............tinted windows..............go on, you know you want it.

I don't rent to buy, or buy a car in Kuwait, period, because the rental car company takes care of EVERYTHING: every tiny little detail that could happen. They even drive me to the airport and pick me up when I leave for the weekend... However, the main two reasons for renting are: (1) people here drive like maniacs; so buying that Yukon one day and getting it totalled the next day is not my idea of spending money wisely; and (2) I don't plan on staying in this beautiful, lovely and charming country forever.

Leasing a car --rather than buying one-- has been a great choice, at least for me... Cool
