The specialist in online car rentals
Everything started with a simple internet search. In 1999, a young German entrepreneur named Christian Mahnke was looking for cheap flights to Canada when he had the idea for an online price comparison tool. This concept matured over a few years and finally launched in 2003 in Freiburg, Germany. Instead of comparing airfare, he created a price comparison tool tailored to car rentals. That was the start of the Carigami story, which proved so successful in Germany that Mr. Mahnke decided to launch the business in the French market in 2008. His core philosophy remains simple: make renting a car as clear and straightforward as possible.
Simplicity, selection, and low prices are the core strengths of Carigami
To achieve this, Carigami relies on its user-friendly website. You can book your car in just three clicks. Simply enter your pickup location and rental duration, add a few filters like diesel, unlimited mileage, GPS, manual or automatic transmission, air conditioning, or vehicle type, and you are set. Carigami then compares offers from approximately 35,000 rental agencies across 170 countries to help you find the best rates for the vehicle that fits your needs.
If you have any remaining questions, you can always reach out to their customer service team, who provide personalized and free expert advice to help you make your choice.
The selection is vast. From a small city car to a minivan or even luxury car rentals, almost any four-wheeled vehicle can be booked through Carigami, including moving vans.
As for pickup locations, you can rent vehicles at train stations, airports, or in city centers. This covers all major cities in France, Europe, and around the world thanks to partnerships Carigami has established with most rental companies like Avis, Budget, Hertz, Alamo, and Dollar.
Ultimately, this range of options is what makes Carigami stand out. They allow you to book at competitive rates that are often lower than those offered directly by the rental agencies. Not to mention another significant advantage: free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
A very handy site for comparing car rentals from several agencies in just one search. The site is easy to use and you can find a varied selection of vehicles, including from lesser known agencies. It saves a lot of time when looking for the best rates. So far, I have never had any issues with the rentals afterward.
One question though, in case of a dispute, I am not sure if I should contact Carigami or the car rental company?
