Hi Guys
Just returned home from a week at CDA on Friday past, it was great did not want to come back to UK.
We have been back and forth about 10 times and normally use CARJET but went with DOYOUSPAIN due to all the good press and they were slightly cheaper than CARJET.
The voucher was for Europacar and to my surprise the initial quoted price (120 euro) was blown out the water.
The extras were unbelievable. E.g. 700 euro bond for fully comprehensive or 21 euro a day insurance buy out, tax, full tank of fuel etc.
We took the 21 euro a day insurance to ensure we were covered.
The final bill was about 280 euro, we were not happy bunnies at all.
It was 11.30 at night and I complained to the member of staff at Europacar She was very uninterested and just kept saying read the small print all charges are shown in there.
There were lots of customers in the office at the time and the impression we got was that they can charge what they like as the demand is high.
We will certainly be shopping around again for our next trip. We will be trying the ones mentioned in your replies.
Kind Regards
Steve and Margaret
