Yes we used them last year and they work from a van in alicante car park, they charged us an extra 19.99 and when I asked what it was she said she didn't really know but assumed it was tax on the fuel, when we complained she basically told us like it or lump it. We won't use them again and wouldn't recommend them either.

Used them 2 years ago on lads trip before the fuel rip off seemed to take hold and got a mondeo for price of focus with no fuel charges!!

No doubt that wont happen again with any company, thats why we decided to buy a car rather than get ripped off every time we visited.

Simple process and saves in the long run depending on the number of times you visit!

Haven't used Advantage so can't comment on them. Used Dickman's once from Alicante and they were okay. We used to try carjet.com and then look at the best deals. However, on our last three trips we've used Gregory (cheapholidaycar) who is based at Condado. Yes, his cars are older, but they work well enough, plus you don't pay any extra for more drivers, on our last trip out there were three of us driving, and with any of the other firms we've used it would have cost an extra 6 euros a day minimum. Also, there are no hidden catches with Greg, and he picks you up from either Alicante or Murcia and brings you to Condado. I'm not sure how advance he takes bookings, but it's worth contacting him. His details are:- greg ulatowski [cheapholidaycar@gmail.com] and you can also phone him on:-  - 0034 678924438  or 0044 7733108022. We would highly recommend him.

Hope this helps.

Lynn

Hi Dave & Carol

Yes used them and they are just the same as all the other rip off merchants, low up front price then hit you when you collect the car.

I have started using Easy Options http://www.easyoption.com/en/quote/ they don’t offer a cheap up front price but the cost you are quoted is just what you pay and you return car with same fuel as on collection. When you do the online booking request it gives you the cost and when you receive the email confirmation of the cost, it’s sometimes cheaper. Plus you pay at the airport and there is no cancelation charge if you need to do so. As this company are mainly an insurance agent you also get 10% additional discount if you happen to have any existing insurance policies with them.

I have only used them a couple of times but so far so good.

Anyway not the cheapest but you know up front what you will be paying when you collect the car.
