Lara Cars, Airport and La Marina. Pay as you wish, card,, bank transfer or cash. The price they quote is all inclusive, no extras but you may have to pay for a tank of fuel. No excess on their insurance. 

They meet you with the car at arrivals and you just leave it at the parking house.when you go home.

How to Hire a Car in Spain - A Full Comprehensive Guide 

We've only hired a couple of  times, both with our own insurances, and had no problems whatsoever, once as tourist, once as resident but there have been many tales of being charged for damage which the person swears they did not cause. It always seems to be when they have refused the extra insurances.....strange that!
My conclusion is that a previous driver who HAD taken out the extras had caused the damage but instead of claiming through their own insurers they wait for the next person who doesn't take it out and then, hey presto, flat on his back with a torch in his hand in the gloomy confines of the hire car area in the multi storey car park, they find a tiny scratch within minutes which then costs hundreds to repair.
The last thing you want to do after a long journey is to grovel about on the floor searching for damage but having a torch and camera handy (mobile) could save you a lot of bother and money in the long run.

Go on the Do You Spain website. Select rental for full/full fuel tank. 

In my experience Centorau, Drivalia and OK Cars are good, Goldcar and Firefly are not bad. Prices vary but not by a great deal. 

Avoid WiberRental like the plague.
