Hi 

Would anyone recommend a car hire firm as reviews of hiring a car in Spain looks pretty grim. Was looking at Hertz, has anyone else hired  from them? Looking to hire in 2 weeks time. 

Thank you

Diane

Hi,

You could try Costa Coches on the Antas/ El Real Poligono/ Estate or Al Andalus car hire.

Both of Google Search / Messeger.

Never used nor have I heard complaints.

Goldcar cheated my son and us generally loathed.

Best Wishes,

Think if.you enter Car Hire in.Search Bar you will get a cascade.

If you are arriving at Murcia, Alicante or Malaga then Centauro are really good. With them I recommend the Premium Plan which is more expensive but provides full insurance  and, crucially, they don't block anything off your card which is a practice I have always detested. Centauro's other plans will have money blocked off the card.

Other than that David Baxter at Al Andalus is very good. They only accept cash so you need to bring that with you. But of course as they don't accept cards it means they can't block anything off your card.

I have used Firefly at Murcia Airport several times and I have never had any problems with them.

We have used Costa couches a few times they are genuine, helpful and reliable.
