All,
Just been told about silly cheap car hire deals here in Spain...
The usual snag is insurance is sky high, however, a regular visitor here buys independent 90 day limited duration annual cover (full accident £50 excess) approx £30-40/pa.
And whilst he has to leave a credit card surity with the hire firm, has always had no issues - including a minor bump where he claimed back the hire firms €1500 charge.
He says the golden rule is to stand your ground and NOT use the hire companies insurance...
Seems too good to be true I know, but thought I would share.
Advice is to set it up in advance and be 100% compliant with the t's & c's and read them fully!
