Auriga Crown/Alicante- No new Fleet!

Thanks Ayrez, did what you said & now just waiting for confirmation.Hopefully they'll have a car for us

At 367.99 euros for 23 days & such short notice is really good,that's 200 euros cheaper than RECORD!

Keeping my fingers crossed!

I think that something is happening with DYS as I tried to book a car last week and kept getting no availability regardless of the dates I put in when I looked for an economy car  at both Alicante and Murcia aiports.  Went with Expedia in the end and got a car with Alamo.

Hi Stewart

Yes the same happened to us.  We booked with DoyouSpain in March for rental of car for 5 days (4 days if you count the fact we arrived late Wednesday night and returned car at 8 o'clock this morning).  In March we paid 66.28 euros for Ford Fusion 5 door or similar.
 

When we arrived at Auriga Crown we were told they have no car and to go to Goldcar and we were dismissed.  At Goldcar we had to pay 126 euros for car plus 60 for fuel plus 8 for diesel plus 30 for seguro relax (whatever that is)  plus 30.90 IVA - grand total 224 euros!!!  To say I was covered in a red mist of fury was an understatement.  To top it all we queued for ages and just we  went  to the counter some german 'gentleman' pushed in front of us.

We have telephoned DoyouSpain  umpteen times and promises are made they will ring us back but don't hold your breath.  On Friday we went to our Solicitors in Torrevieja and they are happy to take the matter up with DoyouSpain and bill them.

Now we are home we are going to e-mail Doyou Spain and ask what is going on - give them one day to reply and then get in touch with our Solicitors.

Hi

If you have not paid up front try F & C car hire. Just googled them and 225 ish for 2 weeks for a Matiz. We always used them when we came over for holidays. They used to have a minivan in the carpark that was run by a very nice English couple.

Just had An e-mail from DoYouSpain telling me that due to the economic downturn Auriga Crown have not renewed part of their fleet.

4 days before our flight they tell me that  my rental will be 567euros with RECORD because A/C have not renewed their fleet of "mini" cars,don't know if it applies to any other group.My original quote was just 229 euros way back in Feb they have promised to repay the difference but what are the chances?

Trouble is I've little choice with the short time left,anyone else having or had this problem ? It seems a lot of money to refund me!
