    For most of my trips to Spain I use Carjet, including when I flew into Valencia a few years ago. I've never had a problem with any of the companies that they have arranged hire through.

    I would look at economy car hire they do use the better car hire company's. Watch out when you get there they try and charge you additional insurance. For windows and tyres and could be more than the hire cost.

    The post from bullybear has reminded me to add that rather than taking out the hire company's insurance excess cover I use insurance4carhire to take out an annual policy for around £50 - if you're only doing a few days then check out the daily cover they offer to see which works out cheaper for you.

    +1 for economycarhire. UK based and their rates include excess waiver.
