As anyone booked an estate with these? what do you get? also do they sting you with extras ie young person charge, extra driver? can't see anywhere. There a lot cheaper than everyone else - surely a catch?

thanks

The estate car is the one shown on the website we have hired one from them several times. They did not charge for extra drivers just need the driving licence for all drivers. We have never paid anything extra, Do not know about young drivers but if you email them and ask they are very good at replying with all the answers. I always email and ask if the insurance is fully comprehensive and that there is no excess, I do this because when they reply you have the answer in writing in case it is ever needed. They were recommended to us by some people we know who lived there at the time we went and have never had any problems. They do not even inspect the car when you return it you just leave it in the place they tell you with the keys in the boot.

All the cars we have had have been like new hard to tell how old they are because its not like our registration numbers that tell the age, but we have not had anything to complain about. They meet you at the airport with your name on a cardboard sign. You are taken up to the car and the paper work is filled in there, they do have offices on the island but the car is bought to the airport. They also give you a phone number in case of breakdown or problems, but we have not had any to date. When you book online they need your flight number so they can meet you, good luck and have a good time, let me know how you get on you will love the island we do

Another vote for Autoreisen, we used them last year in Lanzarote - very professional, cheap, and they upgraded us to a BMW when the SEAT we had ordered wasn't available!

Why not try Googling 'Lanzarote Forum' and see if there are any forums that may also be able to help.

They are a bit slow sometimes I usually send another one if they dont come back in a day or two, then its quite quickly it seems to jog them along, Some friends hired one from them in January so there should not be any problems with them.

Typical!

Emailed them - they responded - don't have any cars left for that week. Back to the drawing board

If you are still struggking to find anything we used these http://www.rrautos-rentacar.com/ a few times before we discovered Autos Famara. They always gave good service there does not appear to be an estate car on there website, but there are a couple with large boots or you could always ask if they have access to an estate car. we only started using the other company because I could not find thier website one time when we were going.
