If you ever go back to Lanzarote use plus car the office is in the airport carpark. They are fantastic with no hidden charges plus they provide free car seats & boosters! They are also normally the cheapest rental we’ve been using them for about 10 years! 😊
Hi just want to say we both enjoy seeing you all as a family you all going to Lanzarote brought back many happy memories me and my husband Vince last was there 34 years ago when our daughters Anneka was four and our youngest daughter Emma was two it was so lovely to see you all enjoying your trip and a Welsh family as well enjoy going to Wales for holidays have been going there since I was seventeen and I am nearly 62 years ago happy times enjoy every moment with your lovely family and continue being a fantastic success thanks Kim Lorraine Ayres
Hi Kim, thank you for getting in touch and sharing your own experiences with us, that’s so lush to hear and love your daughters names too! Thank you for watching and enjoying our videos xx
Was lovely to see the volcano - brought back memories of when we went and had the meal from the “Volcan grill’ I think they called it and the water spout is great isn’t it. Dramatic scenery. Enjoyed watching thank you - David & Rachel 👍
Great to see you off on another adventure abroad. It’s a shame you’ve had that hassle with the car hire. Not the best start to your holiday. I hope you have a great time. I’ve been to Tenerife , but never Lanzarote. We went for a trip to the volcanoes and it was fascinating.I believe Tenerife pretty similar though. I’m off to Cyprus for a ten day holiday, in less than a month. Never been there before, but people we know have told us it’s lovely. Looking forward to your next vlog guys.😎✋
Ahhh Cyprus that’s on our bucket list please let us know how good or bad you think it is… super that you are going on holiday too ;-) we haven’t yet been to Tenerife ;-) thank you and glad you enjoyed watching xx
Our favourite country in the world. Now debating going back next year. Thank you for reminding us how much we love this place 😊 hope you are all well 😍
You have to pay the £1400 charge on your credit card because you didn’t pay the full price for insurance, you get this back as it’s only charged if the car is damaged. I’ve had that with big car hire names as well & think that it’s standard across the board tbh. Always take a video walk around of the car you hire to prove any damage on it etc.
Thank you Colin, it’s a lot of cash to have to hand over just incase though don’t you think? Agree with you regarding the video though best to be safe xx
@@TheRollingRucksever paid that upfront, enterprise charged me 1.5k for a chipped tyre, but I complained and they reduced the hold to £150 and sent me an invoice later on for £132.40
I sympathise with you but with a little homework about “GOLDCAR “ the reviews are horrendous and have been for many years.. make sure the car is in pristine condition on return and take photos because they bill you for every little thing.. have a lovely holiday and thanks for all the enjoyment you’ve given us .
I always use Autoreisen in Tenerife and Lanzarote never had any problems, nothing to pay until you arrive and you pay what you had been quoted when booking on line.
Hi Ruck family. Wow what a great video, I was trying to figure out where you went as the name wasn’t familiar 🥴but I think it was Spain. The scenery and the volcano area looked like another planet 🌏 What a beautiful and lush villa you had I bet you all had a great time. Safe travels and lots of love to you all 💜💜❌❌🇦🇺🇦🇺
Hi Vicki lush to hear from you!! Hope you are well… lanzerote is lovely off the coast of Africa but is Spanish, glad to hear you enjoyed watching us tour the island xx
@@TheRollingRucks Ohh wow ok Yes I was fascinated with the landscape, I’ve been to the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii but the one you visited was incredible. The kiddies look so happy and you all are loving life.. Much love to you all 💜💜❌❌
What a beautiful villa lots of room nice pool lots of storage and what a view so what happened to the motorhome now or do you prefer to fly instead of driving there ,you car rental was a bit of a joke but what can you do you are there and you want a car think they are taking the piss don’t you ,is that the island that was coved in ash and larva last year I just can’t remember witch one it was I know a lot of people lost their homes ,we’ll enjoy you trip till next time take care keep safe John ,🌹🇬🇧👍👀😆🙏🍓🤭🫣😊🤔😓😊
This was fabulous what a unique place. I travel across country from Ohio to California and we stopped at a place with lava rock but nothing like this. Great video!
Hi, we've been going to Lanzarote for years spent February there this year, once bitten by Goldcar on our first trip,, never again, Autorisen every time, 200 euros for the month this year, no access just return the car with the same amount of fuel that's in it when you pick it up, We had a blow out this year, they just exchanged the car, no messing.
You don't pay 1400 GBP, it never actually comes out of your account, they just hold it against your card. It's in all the fine print in all the car hire pre booking info across Spain as standard.
This rental car fiasco is all feeling eerily familiar - we went through a similar deal outside Heathrow ! Went to pickup the car and was told all sorts of different info (including learning the outlay was way more than expected or agreed) - rental cars can definitely be a bit of a minefield !! Really enjoying your videos though !! Safe travels
We always use Cabrera Medina in Lanzarote, no excess, reasonable (prices have gone up since Brexit/COVID) never any problems, no extras - hired a car with them in December for 12 nights (hired a car 4 or 5 times through them).
Hope you enjoy you holiday, and the car rental has not put a dampener on it. It sounds like you really got screwed on the car. But we love your adventures. Joe & Ellie
Had more or less the same problem with hiring a car from Europe car at faro airport, needed 2 x cars and they wanted us to pay 359 euros per car for the insurance even though we had third party cover with the TUI booking, so we told them to stick it and we got a taxi to the villa and back
Goldcar key n go is good if available at the airport normally double or treble their normal price but fully comp, no quibbles and still a fraction of the price of the big companies paid £145 vs £63 but only £100 blocked in case you don't refuel but refunded immediately on return. Closest the big boys could do was £390, hope it helps someone, enjoy your holiday anyway x
NEVER EVER use Gold Car, they rip everyone off, there are lots of good car hire companies in Lanzarote Pluscar, Cabrera Medina, I hired a car from PlusCar last Nov and it cost me about 120 ish Euros for the week no massive down payment, while it was parked someone had opened a door and created a little dint on one of the doors, i was bricking it thinking it would cost me a fortune, to my surprise they said don't worry about it!!
That volcanic field tour looked amazing
Glad to hear you enjoyed it. So amazing x
If you ever go back to Lanzarote use plus car the office is in the airport carpark. They are fantastic with no hidden charges plus they provide free car seats & boosters! They are also normally the cheapest rental we’ve been using them for about 10 years! 😊
Thank you for the tip will do xx
Loved this vlog.our daughter lives and work in puerto calero as a diving instructor.we will be back over in September.many thanks.😄
Thank you and wow that’s an awesome place to be working xx

This is pretty common, we had to
Pay an excess waiver deposit about 5 years ago in Greece with Avis. It’s charged in this country too.
It’s ridiculous to be honest xx
Fantastic place very interesting on the volcano the villa is lush too you enjoy your holiday 😊
So pleased you enjoyed watching xx
I sympathise with you but with a little homework about “GOLDCAR “ the reviews are horrendous and have been for many years.. make sure the car is in pristine condition on return and take photos because they bill you for every little thing.. have a lovely holiday and thanks for all the enjoyment you’ve given us .
We were amazed how much they were charging to be fair reviews were done but didn’t realise they used a middle company x
@@TheRollingRucksgoldcar are owned by Eurocar, who in turned are owned by VW. Paying the fuel is no different to any of the hire companies.
you be getting stung on handover too with dents unter the car unless you took photos with dates stamp to proof otherwise
Hi guys just watching your RUclips again really love the content can’t wait to see you guys again ps this is Eleanor ❤❤
Ahh thank you lovely that’s really kind, we are only down the road but don’t have my car to pop in Stu working on a van at the moment xx

Love Lanzarote, makes me want to go back. We went in January 2020, just before Covid hit. Have an amazing time.
Ahh it’s such a lovely place xx
This was fabulous what a unique place. I travel across country from Ohio to California and we stopped at a place with lava rock but nothing like this. Great video!

Thank you that’s very kind of you to say xx
That car rental is a rip off. But the villa, volcano & camels looked fun 👍
It was a fab trip x
We love Lanzarote, making us want to go back again 😅
If you can try to go back it’s always different second time around xx
Not sure if you have been to the caves on the Island (Cueva de los Verdes). well worth a visit if not.
Thank you yes we visited that too what a place! X
Had more or less the same problem with hiring a car from Europe car at faro airport, needed 2 x cars and they wanted us to pay 359 euros per car for the insurance even though we had third party cover with the TUI booking, so we told them to stick it and we got a taxi to the villa and back
Ahh no way?! Least you got to the villa it’s so disappointing they do that though what a crappy start to a trip x
Goldcar key n go is good if available at the airport normally double or treble their normal price but fully comp, no quibbles and still a fraction of the price of the big companies paid £145 vs £63 but only £100 blocked in case you don't refuel but refunded immediately on return. Closest the big boys could do was £390, hope it helps someone, enjoy your holiday anyway x
Thank you for sharing this information Lisa ;-) xx
We love Lanzarote, where is the nearest town to your villa?
We believe it was Porte de carmen x
can you tell me more about the villa how much it cost maybe pls where to book thanks
Hello, it was around £1,000 for the week and was booked online by our friends x
wish I was there wih you....loved it...bonkers
It was fun 🤩 lanzerote has lots to see x
We used Goldcar in Portugal and had exactly the same thing. Never use them again. Rip off merchants.
It’s not funny is it? Surprised how many people feel the same x
I think you'll find it's really called LANZAROTE. 😉 Dave
Ooh thank you Dave x
Autoreisen are cheapest and no deposit. I use them in Tenerife for years. I can't recommend them enough.
Thank you, great to know for next time x
Hi when is the raffle for the campervan taking place
It took place on 31st May, we did announce on our Facebook page and we had a video on RUclips discussing it
how on earth did you not hear about goldcar, they have the most negative reviews, how many body still uses them
No idea! Think it was because we went through another company online x
Cicar/Cabrera Medina are great for car rental in the canaries
Thank you x
NEVER EVER use Gold Car, they rip everyone off, there are lots of good car hire companies in Lanzarote Pluscar, Cabrera Medina, I hired a car from PlusCar last Nov and it cost me about 120 ish Euros for the week no massive down payment, while it was parked someone had opened a door and created a little dint on one of the doors, i was bricking it thinking it would cost me a fortune, to my surprise they said don't worry about it!!
Thank you for this information we definitely learned a big lesson and we’re quite a few quid lighter because of it! Never again x
Char did you say sugar? What does sugar mean? LOL
Haha 😂 I actually did as it goes rather than “s..t!” X
@@TheRollingRucks so now I know LOL
😎👍
Thank you x
Just amazed at how you afford all this travelling? Is it all through You Tube earnings?
If only! Xxx
@@TheRollingRucks I'm not being disrespectful just jealous 🤣
🤣😂
Godcar in the canaries are shocking to be honest , stay clear
We realised that after haha x
It looks like a gravel pit. 🙂
Should have booked Auto Rheisen
Lesson learnt for sure
Gold car ,,,, stay away everyone
Can’t believe how many know about these ! Xx
Looking good lost weight
Thanks
