We always use doyouspain.com and have never had a problem.

this is actually the one we have been looking at, but was a bit suspicious of the price as it seemed very low in comparrison to others we had looked at ie £55. but if you have already used it and had no problems, then it looks to be a good bargain. thanks

hi there no one will give you a final price as they change the rules all the time so after pay the price for the car ,then add anything from £80euro to £120euro for full tank of fuel and then add around £5.50 per day for insurance for any other damage ie tyres glass ect ,they always make you take this or they block about 600euro on ur CC .I now use the bus as hiring a car is not worth the money

just the full and final price.

Make sure you take the extra comprehensive insurance when offered, which can maybe double the original quote

The standard insurance is useless and if you have the car for 11 days they will find some mark, or other on it.

They then surcharge you the full excess on your credit card

£55 becomes £500 plus

That's how they make money !

I use Centauro and have always found them to be excellent. Go for the Super CDW which covers you for every eventuality.

Yes Centuaro


always take out the supewr/extra/full Collision Damage Waiver to avoid any hassle

I used Europcar in Portugal last week. Including extra insurance and unlimited mileage was £150.00 for a Renault clio. they give it with a full tank of fuel and so long as you return it full theres no fuel charge. one word if you need to hire childseat/booster seat bring your own. we needed a booster seat which cost £50. to rent for a week and was same with all companies we checked. luckily we seen the price on website and bougt one for £5.00 from poundstretcher which we were able to put in case as no weight in it. If child is still n big car seat stage1/stage2 I believe most airlines will carry this free of charge in addition to buggy.
