 I used Gold Car at St Javier. There was a big queue and it took a while

On the positive side I was renting for a long weekend and they said they would only chrge for the fuel used on such a short period. When I returned the car and asked, the said simply that my payment on the credit card would be adjusted. Frankly I was cynical, but give them their due, when the bill arrived on my credit statement they had indeed charged only for a quarter tank

I went to Malaga on vacation last month and I hired a mini-bus from RentacarSapindotcom The bus was clean and new and very comfortable. The great thing (been 9 passengers) was that there was no hour long queue to get the keys. My rep was waiting in the arrival hall and he had the car with him. This was a relief. Just 10 minutes after collecting our bags from the belt we were driving away.

Goldcar are notorious for their ‘activities’ – so much so they were fined 15,456,219 euros for running a pricing cartel see http://www.theleader.info/article/40184/. They are also well known for the ‘fill-up fiddle’ and have been for years – not a company I would go near at any price.

I always use Alamo and I have never had any problems, on one recent trip I hired 3 cars in Portugal, UK and Ireland - no bother. There was a delay at Manchester airport and the manager knew I had an appointment to get to urgently so he upgraded me to the only available immediate vehicle which was a brand new, top of the range diesel Galaxy from a Peugeot, at no extra charge as the computer record showed me as a regular customer.

They are a superb company and will take a VISA debit card – unlike most others who demand a credit card.

rentacarspain (dot) com I have been supplied their cars for years. I generally rent 9 or 10 times a year from Malaga airport.

The service is great. I get met in the arrivals hall and the car is right outside. Really I have never had any major problems. The deposit always comes back (unless I have told them to hang on to it for the next time). They have reasnable cars that I have never had any trouble with.

In all its a good little service and I would recomend it to anyone.
