It's dangerous if you try to walk across it! In all seriousness, I've never had a problem, although you have to careful at a lot of places, as you are joining traffic doing 80kph from a standing start at some junctions.

Hi mountie, I agree with your comments. I purchase my own annual European car hire insurance for about £25, and the car hire company will take a credit card swipe for about £1,000. We always take pictures and check the car. Ive just returned from the States, and the Budget hire car had 2 big chips on the windscreen, which we photographed and had validated by the guy at the exit. Budget were trying to flog me their insurance, saying mine was useless, which it wasnt, having thoroughly checked beforehand.

 

Last year, our Malagacar car had an attempted break in, on the same day we collected the car,and all 3 door locks were forced with a screwdriver, and I couldnt get into the car at all! Malagacar came and towed the car back, provided a taxi for us, and had a replacement ready by the time we were back to the depot, with very little messing about with more paperwork etc. 

It's those little things that make the difference.

Amen to that Hephaestus. I can walk to the Malagacar office in less than 10 minutes if the minibus is busy.

I have used Malagacar on numerous occasions, as have my friends, and they have always been very good, and have excellent customer relations skills. I'm off there again next Tuesday. I did consider Goldcar, who are a lot cheaper, but most of their reviews stink!

 

I book in the UK through the hire cars in spain website, and found them brilliant to deal with. Easy web site to book, and they are great at amending bookings. No cost until arriving at the airport either. Recommend them highly.

 

Regards

 

John
