We have never had issues with RecardGo. 

Just refuse all extras firmly and politely. 

Get deposit back within 24 hours. 

Everybody has their views and experiences though.

I've done the same Wag, used Skyscanner for flights and Hotwire for cars.

We have used Centauro quite a bit over the last 12 months. If you buy their full /full covers everything, no hidden extras 👍

I always use Rentalcars.com when I need a rental car. You can filter on whatever your preferences are. Fore example deposit, risk, office at airport or nearby, etc. If you for example arrive at Alicante airport all rental companies are in the selection, with consumer rates. They have a good app too.

Sorry if this has been done to death but we are coming over in April and wanted a reputable car hire company when arriving at Alicante. Can anyone recommend a company that will not rob us blind and con us? A few horror stories regarding this I have been reading on here on a few posts and don’t ...

...want it happening to us!

Hi we have used lara cars they meet you at airport and the car is parked at the airport ready to go.  I pay in cash on collection no credit or debit card used.  Very reliable and reasonably priced.  No hidden extras. We have used them at least 5 times now.

Hi there

We use Wheels in Spain.  We have just returned from a 4 night break and the cost was 70 euros for a Fiat Tipo.  Exellent service, they meet you at the airport (Alicante, they dont go to Murcia) and hand the car over outside Costa coffee which is where you return the car at the end of yo...

...ur stay. Always been on time, no deposit, no hassle, cars reliable, etc. highly recommend.  You can pay by card in advance or cash on collection. 

We also use Wheels in Spain.

Excellent service. No deposit or pre authorised extortionate deposit on your credit card. No hidden cleaning or refueling costs.  

As the previous post said, they meet you at the airport and hand over the car in the drop off bay, so no hour wait at a desk.  They have a standard insurance excess of 150 euro I think, but only payable if there is any damage when the car is returned.

The cars are not new, but adequate for a holiday without the hassle and unpredictable costs of the on-airport  companies.
