On my last 3 visits I have hired for 4 days at a time and have had to pay for a FULL TANK OF FUEL. Each time I have used less than HALF A TANK . I contacted then and asked for a refund via email, guess what, I didnt even get a reply. What it means is they have ripped me off for atleast 120 euros and what makes it all the more sickening is that they resell MY FUEL to some other unsuspecting customer and gain a MASSIVE PROFIT with no outlay and at my expense. Then there is the RIP OFF INSURANCE ,they dont tell you till you get there but unless you pay an extra 3.50 euros a day (minimum) they demand and extra 300 to 500 euros deposit held on your credit card. When you asked them they say you have to have it but if you contact the via email they will say it is volantary.My Daughter argued withe tham last time and stud Her ground, beleive it or not they backed down as She said she was not told of any extras. "MAYBE ITS ABOUT TIME THEY ARE INVESTIGATED" Hi Les,

After days of looking at diffrent car hire compay/brokers in Malaga I have crossed so many names off and I feel I would not find any honest one. Its feel like booking with Ryanair, not much truth with the prices. Have you heard of any good honest car hire company, perhaps a family own one that I can trust. Would be very glad for any help. Thanks. Hi Les, just read your car hire rip-off. After days of looking at diffrent car hire compay/brokers in Malaga I have crossed so many names off and I feel I would not find any honest one.

I was met at the airport as arranged and had no problems at all. Lara Cars don't had an office / cars in new car park (near the new terminal) so the walk to the car in the airport old car park was a bit far but not really a problem. Hope you have a nice trip!

My parents had the same thing last year at Alicante. They booked through easy car and the provider was called, I think, Gold cars. The problem is you don't know who you're getting with easycar until the last moment of booking, and even when you do, they have a clause that says you must adhere to the local booking partner's fuel policies. Of course, Gold car don't explain their bring it back empty policy until you get to the counter and having queued for hours, you sign off in a hurry. Gold car? Gold mine more like. Good article.

You even gave me some free drum samples from that time. Sadly those days of entusiasm, joy, honesty and nice commercial music are gone. Now everything is fast, colorless and without real passion. People started to live like robots. Sad. But we at least have nice memories. I wish our children find similar joy in their life I wish you and your nice family all the best in life! greetings from Dav Croatia hi Les
