My annual cost of approx €700 for tax, insurance, ITV and airport parking for running my car (no allowance for depreciation which is minimal) compares well with your €750 quote for three weeks car hire.

I pay approx 260 euros for a year's off-site parking with unlimited pick-ups, 325 for insurance, 66 tax and 46 for the yearly ITV.

Just to give you some insight (not wishing to pre-empt B&W's response?

I have a 2018 Mokka - insurance is €355 with Linea Directa and year-long parking is €250 with 12 free pickups and dropoffs each year at Eco Parking. Just a 5 min transfer to and from the airport.

B&W is dead right on depreciation, Frank Roscoe offered me the same as I paid for it in 2020 when I was looking at a couple of other cars this summer

With Eco Parking I had to send in a email in advance saying my son was picking up my car and he took a signed letter from for good measure (it wasnt checked) - no problems at handover

I rented a car last week from Gold Car (via DoYouSpain). No IDP required for me...I have the credit card/photo-style driving license.
May be different if you have just a paper license.
