 As per MonikaBU's post I can also confirm that cheapholidaycar (.co.uk I think) are great.  Used them twice now and they save you loads of money as well as picking you up & dropping you off at the airport.  Doesn't charge extra for car seats or ultra inclusive insurance which saves you even more.

Gregg the owner is a real nice chap and has both english & spanish contact numbers.

Would definately recommend them !

i've also used carhire300 on numerous occasions along with record rentacar.

Nice cars, no problems with either company, competitive rates and they'll email you with special offers etc.

Good luck !

Hi

I've just returned from a weekend in Spain and can confirm that Auriga Crown are still trading. 

I have used Record Rent A Car a few times and they have been great.  The cars have always been clean, modern & in excellent condition with staff who are extremely helpful.  You can register as a member and build up points which can be used to reduce the price of your future rentals.

Regards

SAN

 Hi Davy D

Just to let you know that i bank with Barclays and they do offer international payments - they refer to them as SEPA payments and cost either £25 (1-2 day service) or £15 (3-4 day service).  

At the moment I use this method but send the money in Pounds (as mentioned earlier in the thread) rather than Euros which does get me a slightly better rate.  Instead of  sending money every month I try and send money across in lump sums to save on the SEPA charges.

This isn't likely to be the most cost efficient way of transferring funds to Spain and I am currently looking into some of the other methods mentioned in this thread.

p.s. - I did initially have a Barclays euro account but there was no benefit in using it as the process was exactly the same as above but simply took longer.  I also tried buying currency (euros) from the post office (who were offering some of the best rates) and paid this directly into my Barclays euro a/c but still got charged £15 (as per a SEPA payment) for every transfer so this wasn't ideal for regular monthly transfers.  Might be worthwhile for large lump sums though.
