[John H]

Just booked a car for four weeks in April, base cost only €54.21

If you're over in April now might be the time to make a booking.

Which site are you using John.

Hi Victor, Record, being a member I also get a 10% discount on the base price, so come out at €49

Try doyouspain they compare the market and I've had some good bargains from them in the past, I block goldcar from the search as I have heard they can be difficult. I used doyouspains own extra insurance which is a lot cheaper than the company you rent from, I also cancelled a rental with a day to go with no extra cost and a full refund.

I just wish they were that cheap in August.

I don't pay a dime till I get to Records desk at the airport, makes it easier to cancel and rebook when taking advantage of price drops

I agree with John, record are normally the best. We had one booked for March for 2 weeks but just cancelled and rebooked with base cost of 19 euros which was 12 euros less than previously. With all bookings you have to pay the 24 euros refuelling fee.
We have never had any issues with record regarding damage etc

I never had a problem with Record either.

I always use full to full fuel policy and def book through doyouspain

I've never had a problem with Goldcar but when I came over for new year they were very expensive, so I selected Dickmans who I'd used previously without problem. Well it's mid Feb and still haven't got my 950 deposit back that has been taken from my credit card (Goldcar / Record never showed as ever being taken from my card at all) have got nowhere with dickmams so reported it to barclaycard as unauthorised transaction and done a change-back. Will never use Dickmans again, once bitten and all that.....

Hi John,

That is incredible value.
I have priced with Record directly for 1 week in April and it is showing as about €200.

It looks like if you book for a longer period there is better value,

Brandon

Morning Brandon, hope all's well.
I must admit I thought it would be a lot more expensive as the Easter holidays fall into our holiday .
For us hiring works out so much cheaper than car ownership

I just checked again and i week is about €140 (€20 per day) whereas you can rent for 4 weeks for about €42 (€1.45 per day)
It doesn't make any sense.
What would happen if you rented for a month but returned the car after a week?
Would additional charges apply?

Otherwise, I am thinking of hiring for a month at €42, flying home after a week and coming back for a long weekend break a few weeks later & return the car then

[John H]

Hi Brandon, I've taken cars back early with no problem whatsoever....or charges!!
There's also a few times, when we've been doing a bit of touring that I've approached the 2000km limit......no problems at all, phoned Record and they've swapped the car straight over for me.

Yes I suspect they will charge extra if you return it early don't you know anyone who lives there who could drive it back to airport on due date?
