Thanks for this - it is also full to full but interestingly they did not charge me for a fuel deposit!I will definitely go back to DYS - the girl argued with me at the counter and said that i had always paid the tax since last year....which I have not. Looks like a wee scam!

Has anyone else been charged a 'tax' at Alicante airport when hiring a car. I hired this week through DYS and when I got to the Record/ Gold Car desk I was told that there is a 17.50 Eu tax which has been in place since last year - I've never had that before and I think it was probably because I ...

...didn't take their insurance and that is how they make their money. Is this a normal thing now or do I need to go back to DYS to get it refunded?

Good luck in trying to get something out of DYS, I dropped them years ago after realising they are useless, once the hire contract is signed they wash their hands off everything, best case scenario you'll be bounced back to Goldcar/Record.(have the two merged? Hope not..) 

Never heard of or been charged an EU tax before for rentals, if this is clearly stated as such on the invoice am sure the Spanish tax authority may be interested in getting a copy of it as there is no such tax amongst the many that are involved in a car rental.

Morale is look around carefully before renting from airport companies, what looks cheap rarely turns out to be so.

I have just finished renting a car for one month and would like to recommend Gray's Car Rental in Orihuela Costa.

Car was not new but very good, price excellent, none of the airport rental companies scams and last but not least communication and service were outstanding, including pick up and drop off at airport....

...

Nothing more to say, as a happy customer I highly recommend Richard and will use again for future requirements.

Great to know. Thank you

Hi, any one suggest  good car hire companies with zero excess and no credit card deposit can people recommend, i was using doyouspain but they now.require 1200- 1500 euro deposit for bookings. I have tried Bravo as an agent and paid 178 euros for a weeks hire( super relax cover- no deposits ...

...and debit card)

I would ideally pick up Alicante airport , I would welcome any suggearions

Thanks

Excellent, family run company with no hidden extras.  No 'extra insurance' when you pick the car up, nor high credit card deposits.  No charges for fuel.  Used them for many years and they have always gone above and beyond the call of duty.

I have used some of the Gray's other services - they are a good company and their customer service is very good.Unlike some of the big boys they respond to emails and queries quickly.
