There are delays now at Murcia San Javier although not too bad.

Instead of the 2 Guardia just flapping their hands at everybody they

are actually checking each & every passport.

I park my car with Plane Parking SL at Murcia San Javier & have done for the last 5 years.

Never had any problems whatsoever. Mileage is always as it should be, car is always washed.

Dents etc are always recorded at drop off.

Once left around 15 euro in notes & change in the centre console as a small test.......was all there when I picked the car up 2 months later.

One or two things that you have not thought of...........

You should factor in a 'fuel wastage' charge.

You will use all the fuel that you put in your own car, but  with a hire car you are always going to lose out on the fuel side of things.

You must be hiring cheap !! £900 for 10 hires ?? £90 a time ??

Depends when, where & for how long obviously.

Your car service cost is way too high although of course it depends on the car make etc.

I have a Kia Rio petrol costs me about 45 euro per year service.

Wear & tear ?? For me about about 50 euro per year.

What about the convenience factor ??

Stand in a queue for an hour, have to leave a massive deposit cos you have your own excess insurance.

Get ripped off over the fuel charge etc etc etc.

Or arrive, walk out of the airport get in your own motor & drive off in about 5 miutes.

Same when you depart, pull up get out hand keys over done.

I bought my own car about 5 years ago when hire charges went sky high.

I was quoted over £1500.00 plus the fuel etc etc for 5 weeks car hire in August time.

Made my mind up real quick it did.

Best thing I ever did.............

HTH

I got so fed up with all these problems with the car hire companies I ended up buying my own car & leaving it in Spain.

I worked it out that it was cheaper in the long run to buy my own car & park it at the airport.

Even with all the running costs on around 6 visits to Spain a year it is far cheaper than hiring a car.

It was all brought to a head about 4 years ago when the cheapest quote for 5 weeks hire in July / August was £1500.00 !!
