Car hire

Yes, I do all the time. Got some very good deals but they are only a broker so you have to be careful which company you choose. Personally, I won’t touch RecordGo or Goldcar but I’ve had good service from Firefly and OK. 

There will be someone on here who has had the complete opposite experience, I’m sure.

Not used 'Do You' but have used other agencies and had issues so now I only book direct with the hire company, too often when booking through an agency you find the hire company not honouring the details of what you've booked.

Experienced it two or 3 times before I saw the light. 

My most recent hire from direct from Goldcar at the Airport cost me just €28 for 4 days with no real attempts to 'up sell' extras while next to me there was a row going on with a guy who had booked through an agency who's terms didn't include the €1400 Credit Card deposit being demanded, dunno how that ended because the row was still going on when I walked away with the keys to my car.

Impossible to say which companies or best or worst because as the previous poster says one man's perfect hire will be the next man's 'avoid at all costs'.

It's probably fair to say that if you stick with the big boys like Hertz and Avis etc. you'll get fewer problems but it will generally cost you a fair bit more. 

Use do you spain for about 39 times. Never had a problem.

I'm the same using them regularly with no issues.........so far!

I've just had a car hire for €16.48 for a week so I use it as a taxi from and back to the airport  as I have my own car here to run around in.

Just be vigilant when you first check the car. Someone on here did a complete guide which although was a long post it was very useful and informative. Definitely worth a search.

There are so many people who have been caught out. My father just got caught out with OK as they charged him an extra €50 when he picked up the car as their flight was a few minutes late. 

Also dont take out DYS insurance as the hire companies dont recognise it and still block out the amount on your card. It was an extortionate price as well. It would have been cheaper to buy it at the desk.

Anyway it could go on and on......good luck in whatever you choose.

Regards

Wendy did you have full insurance with them

No. We take out insurance in UK with Questor about 45£ for year to cover excess. You just have to be firm. First time tried off airport and quite liked it because it was in open air and you could take photos easier and you do need to do that. Airport is quite dark

Hi 

Have used do you lots of times always been good generally use ok car they are pretty good just make sure you have either your own yearly insurance or you have to pay on collecting which tends to be dearer just make sure you have good check round and photo anything you see 

Hi Shaun,,,,I agree that OK Rent are good, and probably my favourite,  but my second choice would be RecordGo........I rent about 25 times a year. 

I wouldn’t use Goldcar, InterRent, or Firefly. I’ve heard bad things about all three. My friend uses Centauro and they don’t show up on “Doyouspain” so you have to check prices via their App. But he rents about 15 times a year and swears by them. 

Just broke my record for cheapest car hire. Always use Goldcar and have never had a problem. Cost me £2.83 for 1 week in November 😀
