Anyone know of any companies in Spain who will still hire me a car-I am looking to hire a car for our honeymoon and will have MAJOR problems if we can't but I am going to be 12 days short of having held my licence for a full year which seems to be a clause with all the companies I have investigated. Anyone dealt with any companies who don't have this clause?

otherwise I am screwed!!!

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!:(

    Can't you just go 12 days later?

    Or drive down yourself?

    I've already booked our accomodation so no can't rebook, and I'm not sure my beaten up fiesta would make it all the way to the south of spain :(

    Book it under the wifes name. Speak to the companies personally and ask for some leeway, they might hike the price also
