    Used loads of times but they are only as good as the company you hire the car from
    Now you can pick which one before you book
    Have a nice day :)

    Never heard of them
    There is probably a reason why they are cheaper than everyone else !

    Which airport are you flying to ?
    Have a nice day :)
  • Dickmanns are not a good company. Book direct with someone reputable, like Sixt or Centauro.

    Also, it's now worth having a look at GoldCar. Their website now tells you how much their excess insurance is and they refund any fuel left in the tank at the end of your hire.

    Have Goldcar revised their Customer Service standards as I have yet to see any positive feedback on them?

    Avoid dickmans and goldcar.
    Book with economy car hire. Best in business Spain wise by a mile.

    Always used a price aggregator for booking cars in Spain or Portugal, never heard of any of the companies we've ended up booking with but other than once having a difficulty in giving the car back because they didnt have a perm rep at the airport and couldnt get mobile signal to call them to find out why their rep wasnt here at the arranged time (he arrived ~35 minutes late).

    Never had spurious charges, claims of damage or insufficient fuel. Didnt even get billed for the automatic tolls in Portugal last time (hadnt read up in advanced so had just used the toll roads blindly)

    I have had a really good price for a weeks car hire from Atesa via do you Spain in Majorca PMI. Has anyone any experience with Atesa or Do You Spain? Thanks for help.

    We always hire with Doyouspain and have always had a good experience generally. Our only gripe is with Goldcar who aggressively try to sell the extra insurance which you don't need as it comes as standard via Doyouspain but if you can say no you're fine :)
  • Doyouspain is very unpredictable. We had a good experience using them in Granada and renting through Hertz. But we just had a very bad experience in Madrid renting through Firefly. We rented for one day at an advertised rate of just over €17 supposedly all in. We didn't take any extras (insurance, GPS, etc.) or upgrade the car. We returned it on time in perfect condition with a full tank of gas. We were charged €60 plus. Firefly said that's the cost and if we have an issue we need to talk to doyouspain. doyouspain doesn't reply to emails with anything other than a form message. I will never use them again and warn others to do the same.
