Hi all,

I see EOS has partnered with cartrawler for some 'cheap' car rentals.

Just a warning - I was badly let down by cartrawler and Centauro rentals recently when I went to Spain to view my property in Corvera. I arrived at San Javier airport (with a printout of my booking confirmation) to be told that my booking had been cancelled and that there was no car for me. I rang Centauro Head Office and they told me that they had cancelled it two weeks previously and had informed cartrawler. I rang cartrawler from the airport and they said they had heard nothing. I could not get another car at the airport from any other supplier.

I rang cartrawler in Dublin (again!) when I got back and asked for them to get back to me with an explanation. This was over a month ago and I am still waiting!

I suggest you re-confirm your booking at least a week in advance of  travelling out to Spain to save being shafted like I was.

All the best,

Ian

Hi all,

I am just completing the purchase of a property in Spain and used Roy Howitt of InspectaSpain for the snagging of the property.

I recommend Roy's service to anyone looking for a professional and thorough job in getting your property properly checked out . I also found him very helpful and full of good advice in all aspects of owning a property in Spain.

Hi all,

I have bought a property in Corvera Golf & Country Club in Spain, and was just there this weekend where I closed the sale on my property. (Phase 1 2bed 2bath apartment).

If you need some good local advice on what to do with furnishing your property, I can strongly recommend Roy Howitt of InspectaSpain, he is very knowledgeable and has helped save us a lot of money and time with his 'smartshopspain' service.

Regards,

Ian Hayes
