Car Hire

We always used to buy separate insurance from a third party party however we always had a problem that when we arrived at the actual car there was unreported damage so we would waste another 30 mins reporting( no wheel trims, no tools,nicked ariel, dent here etc) You may have comprehensive insurance but you still have a requirement to report all damage and if you don't want to be charged for the damage(and then have to go through the process of claiming) when you return the car it has to be noted at the hire commencement.
Therefore,we always pay for the CDW at the desk as you cannot moan at getting a car for a total of 20 euros a day(out of season) on a full/full basis. We all know that hiring a car is an unwelcome cost to our visits to Spain and before I retire I will buy a car to use in Spain.
I other point always check the oil in your hire car as soon as possible as I picked a car up that was very low on oil and the hire mechanic was speechless and he said that if there was a problem I would have been charged for any engine damage.
