Hi everyone.
We are over again in February and would like to hire a car from a reputable hire company that you can pick up and drop off again at the airport. Insurance include if possible.
Would appreciate any helpful feedback. Thanks agai to you all.

We always use Centauro after bad experiences with record go and gold car. Pretty well priced and quick pickup/drop off. Cars are usually in good shape and their car pickup is on the bottom floor of multi story so easy to get in and out. We buy an annual car insurance policy so don’t take out their insurance.

I've always found going through doyouspain.com to be the cheapest and most reliable. But only choose a car from Centauro or Firefly, the others have very bad reviews. If you uncheck the box on the left under all car companies and just tick against Firefly and Centauro it will weed out all the others. Personally I've only ever used Firefly over the last years and never had a problem, but Centauro also gets good reviews.
Like the poster above I take out annual hire car excess cover. Go through Moneysavingexpert to get the best deals.

Record Go are a bunch of crooks. I have had good experience with Centauro.

Whoever you hire from it’s important to check the car for scratches etc when you collect it preferably with a rep from the company. Also take pics all round when you collect and return the car in case they claim on your credit card for damage after you have gone back to UK

Problem with using a broker like do you Spain is that you then have to pay a fuel service charge even if you return the car full. Go direct and you don’t.
I tend to use either Centauro or OK. Both I’ve found to be decent.
Annual excess insurance each year saves a fortune. Check car for scratches and dents and mark them down, don’t listen to scare tactics if you have excess insurance anyway. Check central locking with the key as well as the fob, check jack in the boot with the spare. Jobs a goodun.

I always take a picture of mileage on collection and on return with an image of fill up fuel receipt if it's full/full deal. Not only check for external damage, also check for underside damage before and take photos and insist on it being recorded. Make sure the car includes vests, warning triangles etc. Okay, for most this is all obvious but a useful check list.

During the winter, the hire charges are much more affordable. My honest advice is to pay the extra for their insurance and you won’t have to bother checking for dents or scratches. As well, you can drop the car off without inspection.
We don’t hire anymore but agree that Centaura are reputable.
I believe we did hire directly from Record which allowed us to jump the queue at the desk. We always paid for the full insurance which allowed for peace of mind.
Do you spain...don’t be tempted to buy their insurance as it carries no weight with the car hire companies as they want to sell their own.
Please update us and let us know what you decide to do.
