Hi everyone from a hot and sunny Espana
Antcon tried to send yoiu a pm but it would not work so will have to go public.
Installation of our meter cost 99 euro and 50 euro for the annual contract including supply of 500 euros worth of cards. We give guests 20 euro per week to use, simple and effecitive. 20 euro so far has been more than adequate., even with the aircon on There is a 5 euro emergency button which gets deducted from next card and you can reset meter to 0.
So far, its worked very well. Hope this helps

Everyone keeps talking about the cost of the "lifeguards" when what they should be scrutinising is the cost of the contractor supplying the lifeguards! Next year, maybe we can employ direct and cut out the bit fat slice the big fat cheese is taking off us thereby allowing more money in the pot for longer hours, unless we find a better solution to this dilemma

I had a meter fitted several months ago. The system works because €500 worth of cards are supplied with the meter. We can then give cards to our guests to a level corresponding to "reasonable" useage. Anything over and above that, they must purchase additonal cards for €10. So far, no one has had to. Fitted to protect abuse of the aircon. Whenever we have stayed anywhere prior to this, the owner has said there is aircon but has neglected to mention the meter with the €1 coin slot and I feel it is this "careful" use of disclosure prior to a guest's holiday which causes the bad feeling

Hi Deb
My guests used it several weeks ago and it was fine, although DO ask the driver to confirm the pick up point and time before you get off the coach on the inbound journey! Also get someone in the UK to ring their office and confirm your pickup too a day or so before you are due to come back. It might be a good idea to ask what happens if their driver doesn't drop you off with sufficient time to check in and the gate is closed or is closing - if they have some sort of indemnity so that they are not liable for any costs you incur in missing your flight or having to use a taxi because you were not picked up, then it may not be worth the saving!
