Diary of a Spanish Holiday Home Owner

Owning a holiday home in Spain has always been my dream. The experiences I have had, and continue to have, never cease to amaze, frustrate, scare and delight me.

Summer Car Hire Rates
Friday, January 8, 2010

I'm just trying to book a hire car for August in from Malaga Airport and can't believe the prices. They all seem to want £280 or more a week for even the smallest 2 door car they have available without all the extra insurance and fuel they sell you on top of that.  This is ridiculous and the car is going to cost me more than the flights for a family of three.

 

 

Someone somewhere is seriously taking the p*ss.


 

All suggestions on cheap car hire would be gratefully received. I tried one "bargain" car hire company for a trip I’m taking in March and what a nightmare that was. The prices and cars they quoted were suddenly not available to be booked when I got to the payment confirmation screen and you are told to ring customer services. 3 hrs later I finally get to speak to someone at so much a minute only to be told they can’t help and to ring another reservations number that puts you on hold for another short period of your life. I gave up in the end, I lost faith in their ability to present me with a car when I arrived even if I did ever manage to make a booking.
