I think I'm getting scammed
I rented a car on holiday and think I'm about to get scammed. We paid for the rental on our credit card with a pin. The car was very old and in very bad condition. I took photos of all sides of the outside of the vehicle before we drove it away but returned it by leaving the keys with the hotel reception for pick up so…

Car hire from Palma
I am looking at car hire from Palma (Majorca) airport from 13-17 April on expedia.co.uk. I am being quoted rates as low as £4 (yes, four pounds in total! :eek:) with companies such as Goldcar and Click Rent. Does anybody have any recent experience of these companies, or other good/bad experiences of car hire from Palma?…
Car Hire Orlando FL
Hi all, This is actually for my fiance not myself, but due to her moving to the UK she needs to offload her car, but as a consequence will be left car-less for between 1-3 months.

Euros- bulk, or installments?
Was thinking today- in a similar way to pound-cost-averaging in investing, is there something to be said for having a similar approach to buying Euros for travel? I've no idea what'll happen to the exchange rate before I travel (mid May) so I thought buying in a few installments might help to even out any fluctuations.…
Advice please - Collision Damage Waiver issue
I hired a car and took additional CDW and was involved in a car accident last summer in France. At the time, I was charged an excess of €150. Now the insurance company is asking me to provide a description of what happened. My concern is that I have been told that sometimes they will charge my credit card for the damage…
Spending in central and west africa
Can anyone recommend a better way of funding central and west africa travel, other than carrying quantities of $100 and 100 Euro notes. I need cash on a daily basis, often in small denominations for around 3-4 weeks every 8 weeks. Around £6000 per trip Official rates for Naira are very poor , so cash is needed for the…
Ryanair Car Hire Insurance
If you book a hire car with Ryanair you get sucked in with a low headline rate. On almost the last page, after you have spent ages entering your details, there is a section on insurance to avoid paying more at the hire car counter at the airport to cover the policy excesses on the car hire company's basic insurance. When…
