Have you rented a car in Fuerteventura before? What was your favourite spot on the island to visit? 👇
I had a car a few years ago from a small German place in caleta same thing with the a.i insurance and on that occasion a day down in jandia was looking lovely.
Blooming lovely not looking 😎
Love to visit a small rural restaurant at Casa de la Naturaleza , for lunch , Vega del Rio Palmas, just outside Betancuria. Lovely place with the added attraction of its own turtle pool.
Pajara and El Cotillo
Aguas Verdes & Ajuy are favourites, another great vid thanks.
We’ve used Cicar and AutoReisen, never had a problem, both good companies. Great info Amelia 👍
Thanks Nigel, glad you’ve had the same experience as us 👍
Great info again ladies, thanks. I've used cicar and autoriesen on previous trips and never had a problem, even got an upgrade one year
They both have a decent range of cars. I’m surprised they didn’t give us an upgrade as there were a lot of cars sat in the car park this week 😂
So much respect for not sponsoring a video
We have used a company called Autos Plus Car several times on the Canary Islands. Booked by internet & paid on pick up. The cars & service were good. The only time we broke down was on Fuerteventura. The car developed an electrical fault. They picked us up and replaced the car without any hassle. We were back on the road in 2 hours. The 4 other times using Plus Car we had no problems. They have offices all over the Islands.
Good feedback Les, we’ve not used Plus Car but sounds like they are another one of the ‘good guys’ 👍😀
@@AmeliaBolger I've been going to Fuerte since 2006 - Auto plus a the best!
@@AmeliaBolger I am also using PlusCar since several years without any problems
I'll add to the Plus Car compliments. Been to Fuerteventura several times. They were recommended to me the first time and have used ever since. Nice and easy meeting them in the car park, paperwork done quickly and the holiday begins ☺☺
Also chiming in for plus car. Rented from them in Lanzarote and Tenerife and so far so good. Will see about FV soon! 😊
Absolutely brilliant video ladies thank you so much, my wife & I have been to caleta about 4 times now (5th I believe in September) we always go for 2 weeks & hiring a car is something I’ve thought about a couple of times but never really looked into so your video has been a MASSIVE help explaining who to trust etc - I’m gob smacked at how cheap they are to hire!! don’t know why but I thought it would a lot more expensive. Thank you again for covering a topic I’m sure loads will find really helpful 😎👍🏻
We didn’t hire a car here until we’d been a few times. As soon as we did it opened up so much of the island and completely changed our experience. So easy and a lot cheaper than people expect. Really glad you found it helpful, that’s our aim with these videos so thank you! 👍
I would definitely recommend autos pluscar. The cheapest on the island. Book in advance and collect from airport carpark
hi Amelia, pluscar every time, five times now, no hassle, no rip off ,just good service.
Hi Paul, have you ever been working for company in Normanton? P.s I always use PlusCar and never had complaints too.
Good to hear Paul, not used PlusCar myself but they sound like another good option 👍
Thank you so much for making this video, it was so helpful. We have been to the Canaries several times last was in 2019 to Fuerteventura and we are booked up to come the end of next April. Before that we are going to Lanzarote at the beginning of this October. We always hire a car and have used Hertz in the past, service and cars have always been good but price was always a little expensive. When looking for a car this time prices are very high and the deposit you have to leave is also very high. I was not aware of the different types of car hire and your video has made life so much easier. We have booked a car with one of the companies you recommended and have got a very good deal for our requirements thank you once again. We hope you are both well and also hope to see some new videos from you in the future, take care for now x
Thank you… I just cancelled with Goldcar, even though it cost me £48 to do. Just booked with Auto Reisen .. wish I had watched your video before !!
You forgot pluscar. I have rentet there 3 times. Cheap. All Inkluded. And never had Any issuses. Only Thing was i had to Pay 200euro for a mazda cx 5 becours it had some exspensive wheels. But got it back as soon as I gave the car back. The other 2 cars had No deposit. Mini caprio. And a VW beetle caprio.
Love your vlogs, I worked for a car hire company in the 90s called Your Auto, we had a main office in Puerto del Sol, Caleta de Fuste and six others around the island, mine was in the Happy Center, great times! Are they still operating?
They must have gone or changed their name as it doesn’t ring any bells. I think it was 2004 when I first went to Caleta though 👍
Thank you ladies, very informative and helpful. We usually call into the Cicar office but now we know how easy it is to hire from the airport, we will do so in future 😊 Really appreciate your RUclips videos.
Thanks Alison, Cicar are really good and easy to reserve online 👍
Brilliant girls . Just what we needed to see . We have hired a car from our resort before and although it was no problem ,it was good to know what ones to avoid. We will be hiring a car next june when we come with friends in corralejo so will check out the ones you mentioned there . Thanks again look forward to next video xx
Thanks Amanda, glad you found it useful 😀
Just wondered Amelia if you have done a video based on your move to fuerteventura and how easy or hard it was for you ?. I have watched jp's one . And I do like watching you both but you have different styles of videos and it would be good to get another version of the process thanks 🙂
We haven’t. Never say never but at the moment I’m enjoying making the travel related videos. Personally we found the process fairly straightforward but it seems the rules are changing from 1st Jan when Brexit kicks in so I’m not sure how that will impact things.
Very informative vlog again Amelia, we usually use Cicar, never any problems there. Keep up the great vlogs, and have a nice weekend 😎
Cheers Liam, you too 👍
Thanks for taking us through the car hire process on FV. Great to hear you own recommendations on the best providers. Very straightforward but some good tips along the way. Thanks for a really useful vlog.
Great informative video on car hire Amelia, no one has seemed to touched on this subject before, can be a bit of a minefield . I used Payless for years, good service , with desk in the airport. Then tried Pluscar, again good service and a bit cheaper than Payless but business done on the airport car park . However for the last 2-3 yrs, have used Autoreisen, and cannot fault them. Easy process, good prices and good service.
Thanks Geoff, have had a few questions on it lately so thought it might make for a good video topic 👍
Thanks for the info ladies, never done it myself but know people who do and they say its easy enough especially visiting somewhere like Fuerteventura which as you both know is a large sparse island, how quickly do you get used to driving on the wrong side of the road!! thanks.
Amazing how quickly you adjust. I’d probably find it very strange driving on the left now 😆
Fantastic vlog again ladies. Brilliant information. I used payless when I stayed in Dec/Jan, completely hassle free, lovely car, easy to book and collect - my flight was severely delayed, didn't land until 10:45pm, but one of their agents waited for me to collect the car.
Satnavs, I have my own european satnav which doubles up as a dash cam with displayed telemetry details - just in case. Found it useful as I put sevrral hundred miles on the clock during my stay.
Favourite journey, the beach road to Corralejo (featured on your vlog I think). Scariest drive, the road south from Betencuria to Pajara - clean underwear required ...
Good to hear, we’ve used Payless countless times without issue. Yes, it was the FV1-a through the dunes in Corralejo. We’re used to the mountain roads now but the first couple of times it did feel like you’re close to the edge on the ‘wrong’ side of the road 😀👍
Hello.
Thank you for the wonderful video.
Why didn’t you choose the cabriolet ? ( I am only asking because I want to rent it )
Great video once again ladies 😊 Just booked with Auto Riesen for our 6th trip to 'Foosty' on the 29th Jan. Keep up the good work 😎
Coming to the island tomorrow and going to Costa Calma, was thinking of taking the bus but this is a convenient alternative when the process looks so smooth. I will check your account for excursion advice. Is parking generally free on the island?
Amelia great precise information I personally use cigar booked through cabarera Medina easy to book lovely cars , lovely staff , nothing to much for one,s experience by them ,and I come at least 3times a year for a very long time happy days love the videos, stay safe all
Cheers Tim, great to hear you’ve had a good experience with these companies too 👍 It’s a shame people still get ripped off when there’s better alternatives out there.
Good video, for travellers, and yes a proper carhire company, no scams
I have used autoreisen several times, and its always quick at the desk, and your will get a C3, never had anything different
And value for money!
keep those videos coming, helps the novice traveller in fuerteventura
Thanks Robert 👍
Always use Autoreisen. Never had a problem. Going to pick one up on Saturday 25/7/20
👍 Enjoy your trip!
Wow Thankyou ladies I allways book TopCar online and purchase their insurance
Great video! Thank you for all this info. So you have paid abolutely no deposit to rent this car? Just the 22 euros and that was it?
We've always rented a car from the airport. Used Autoriesen and Paylesscar. Both companies easy to deal with, Good prices when booked months in advance.
Thanks for watching Earl, both really good companies 👍
Did you have to pay any sort of deposit? Or block on your card?
@@rustygtwoguns No, I made the booking online 2 months before I travelled. Paid on my card at the airport. No deposit or block on my card. I've never had any problems when dealing with either company.
Thanks a lot my dear, you just saved me at least 150€ . Today after watching your video I made a reservation, after 1 hour got a confirmation. No deposit payments are required for the deductible , no they require cash deposits or guarantee payments by credit card. Sounds to good to be true? Wonder why ? I'll make a video soon about this company.
Thanks for video Amelia it’s good to know when we come out a hire car is an option 👍
Thanks Aaron 👍
We have used auto risen for over 20 years in the canaries, and will be booking again, for our first time in fuerteventura this year 2023. Great company and no problems. Thanks for the information girls.
Hello, do autorisen require a credit card when collecting the car? I only have a debit currently.
Very informative and helpful Ameilia thanks as hoping to be there mid August all going well with travelling from Ireland, love the vids !!
Cheers Carl, thanks for watching 😀
hired my first car ever over there last week and took my lad to Ajuy after watching you're video
Absolutely no problem with Auto-risen
Great to hear! Hope you both had a great time 😎
he loved the caves , only down side of coming back home was now i have to wait till November till i return :(
Hi We have used Interrent and reluctantly Gold (as I have heard the bad reports). However, on the 4 occasions we have used them the cars have been good and we have never had a problem. We take out an annual excess policy for about £34. The car hire is incredibly cheap - last time < 30 euro for a Fiat 500 on a full to full basis for a week. Our favourite spots are the sand dunes outside Corralejo and El Cortillo.
You’ve been very lucky by the sounds of it. The hefty deposit is the thing to be very careful of. They are notorious for finding reasons to make deductions and it can make for a very stressful end to a holiday. I’d rather have zero excess and zero deposit personally.
To the point girl's! Best info I have seen yet, over in September and was a bit apprehensive about car hire, especially for short periods, top notch info👍 thanks girls😁
Great to hear, I’m glad it’s been useful Tom 👍
Yet another great video, agree with comment about Gold Car we renamed them Rusty Car they are a shower. I recommend Autoreisen, experienced a broken door mirror couple years ago when car was parked on last night, no hassle when we returned the car, just sign here on the claim form job done.
I’m amazed Gold Car are still in business given the reviews out there! They seem to get a lot of orders via the airlines. They offer very cheap prices as an add on to a flight but they never tell people the cost of the insurance until they arrive at the desk.
Concise, practical information. I'll be crediting this video to the car hire company I use, any viewer should too. Honest info like this deserves sponsorship from decent companies.
Great vid, nice to know. I haven't been for 25yrs but visiting in October with cameras for a photo shoot with my partner. What are the rules/laws on hiring a 4x4 (Jeep Wrangler maybe) ? can you go off the beaten track ie: B roads not the main roads for getting some early morning/evening pics? I was advised not to previously as the excess wouldn't cover breakdown, tyre punctures off the main roads? Any advice would be very helpful, thank you.
Hi again, very informative and I'd already booked with autoriesen for my holiday in November.. not the base model it's the one in the bay next to yours lol
Sounds like a good choice Morgan 👍😀
Guaranteed to get my bald head tanned 😂
What do you think about sixt, I have booked with them and am a bit anxious after checking the reviews online
Just watched your very helpful video. I have now cancelled my car hire reservation with a different company and re-booked through AutoReisen - much cheaper than my original price. Many thanks for this helpful and informative advice!
Glad it saved you some money Gillian! 👍
I have previously used Payless and more recently, Autoreisen. Both were excellent.
Thanks Graeme, good to hear. We’ve always had good experiences with both of them too 👍
Totally agree with NOT using Goldcar. Complete bandits!, we always use Pluscar on all islands. No extra charges at all. They even cover damage
A fantastic guide, I've used Goldcar for years and years but started using PayLess about 2 years ago.
Goodbye Gold Car
Hi Amelia and Sarah unfortunatly our holiday has been cancelled today we were coming to corolleco (excuse spelling) in October we were told today that our flights were no longer available due to Covid 19 so our holiday is cancelled i must say i am relieved at this timeof uncertainty i look forward to coming over there in the future when all has been sorted and hopefully a vaccine for this horrible virus we will still follow your videos i find them very informative thankyou for that fond regards from Rosemary xx
Jet2? They seem to have cancelled a lot this week as they are consolidating flights to fewer days a week. I’m sure you’ll be able to rebook when you feel more comfortable about flying. It’s difficult to know what to do for the best but you have to feel you can enjoy your holiday without worrying. Let’s hope it’s not too long before things are a bit more normal 😀
Autoreisen, best one on the island, easy process, pay what they quote you, no hidden costs/extras!
I always use Cicar, very straightforward, pleasant staff and good prices. First time we went we used Goldcar and had to pay 1100 Euro deposit in order to get out of paying an additional 240 Euros for fully comprehensive insurance. Needless to say I never used Golcar again.
Heard so many stories of people who have struggled to get that deposit back in full too. Just terrible! Can’t go wrong with Cicar 👍
Thankyou for another informative video. Always found the car hire places extortionate so have always decided against bothering when we have been over but the companies you've shown in the video are extremely affordable so thankyou again!
Great video and Thank-you.
What's public transport to from corrolejco (bad sprll) and aurport like?
TIA.
Maybe good to know, I think only cicar and Cabrera Medina are still from the same company. At least according to some reviews Payless is not very trustworthy at all (see trustpilot) and auto reisen has a couple of bad reviews as of recent 08-2022 and isn’t a part of the same company anymore. At least according to the info I found. I went with Cabrera, thanks for the video, made it easy to narrow it down ✌🏼
Do you have any advice for anyone who is nervous of driving on the opposite side of the road and has put off hiring a car because of this. Thank you for your videos which are very informative
There’s a website called N332 which summarises all the traffic laws of Spain in English which is handy to read before you come. The roads on the island are not busy so it’s the ideal place to drive on the right for the first time. My main advice would be to assume nobody is going to indicate (so be cautious at roundabouts and junctions) and stick to the speed limit. Most drivers are laid back here and I’ve never seen any road rage so just take it easy, enjoy the view and the locals will overtake if they feel the need. A lot of people are surprised how easy it is to drive here if they’ve not done it before
Great info as really should hire a car at some point. Do any of the companies do automatics as I cant see anything on Autoreisen?
Yes they do Wayne, normally at the bottom of the list on Autoreisen when you’re picking the car type you want
Always hire cars from the airport therefore you have no transfer fees to add. Use Cicars and Pluscars both good experiences, Pluscars slightly cheaper and no queue. Cicars have given me upgraded car every car which is not always best once I had a SUV type which was really thirsty.
Pluscars walk onto car park and you are met, do the paperwork there and it’s as simple as that and never had a queue. Last year they weren’t there but a phone call later saw a young Italian lady racing towards us, very apologetic as we weren’t on her list(oops)
First time I hired a car was in Corralejo from Cicar office, ordered on line from apartment as it was cheaper. Was told where it was parked up a side street and it was covered in knocks. Went back to the office and was told don’t worry about it as it’s full insurance, I still photographed it. Never had any issues with the cars I’ve had and sometimes I’ve had one for 4 weeks. Would recommend these two companies however due to the car I need this year and the prices I’ve gone with Auto Reisen and I’ve paid for the extra insurance.
Great review, great tips and great idea to do a video on car hire which might change others to operate in the same way as these companies.
Great feedback, thanks! I think some of the cars do have a few marks here and there due to the no excess. We always photograph every car and have never had an issue either. Just habit now as we often hire elsewhere in the world where the policies aren’t as generous 👍
Hi ladies, another great vlog informing us about Feurteventura. I've had 2 holidays cancelled by tour operator this year but hopefully will get their in September. I wondered if you had any information around long term rental properties and potential employment there? Perhaps ideas for another vlog for you! I'm no stranger to the island but particularly like the Corralejo and Caleta de Fuste areas. I'd appreciate any information you have. Many thanks Laurie (Laurence) x
Hi Laurie, potential employment is obviously a bit tricky at the moment with everything going on. If you speak Spanish it usually opens up a few more opportunities but generally a lot of jobs are long hours and low pay. Some people come out and start businesses but going self employed here is quite different to the UK. Always best to get professional advice before considering a move, especially as the rules will change in January 2021. Sabrina Williams at Canary Admin Services is very good and she has a website if you need more help
What a great video, never hired or drove abroad and Fuerteventura looks a good place to start.
Risco del Paso, leading to Sotavento Beach in Costa Calma about a 40 min drive south from Caleta is our favourite spot for us. It is very photographed and one of the best beaches in the world and easy to see why. Your breath is taken away. Vast stretch of a flat sandy beach with walks along the hills and a mountainous back drop offering amazing views over the area.
Couldn’t agree more! Thanks for the suggestion 😀
Hey Amelia, are these the only ones you recommend or can we find something cheaper? We have been offered c3 citroen for 150 pounds. Do you think it is fair price?
Brilliant again Amelia, spot on with the information we need, I think a lot more people would hire a car if they realised just how uncomplicated it can be, I certainly would now consider it after watching your video. My only reservation would be if I could keep on the correct side of the road 😎
Cheers Mark, amazing how quick you adapt 😀
Used Cigar last time. Whatever company we have used over the years we tend to get a different type given then booked. Not that it was a problem.We love Corralejo. Reasonable priced restaurant near the harbour with good basic local food. Love the fresh fish! Exploring the island on not such a sunny day is easy to do and recommended. We love to come once or twice a year during the winter months. Just made it home in March before everyone went in lockdown in March. Hope your island is still clear of the virus.
Thanks Anke, we are still doing very well here 👍 We love going up to Corralejo for some fresh seafood too
We always book Payless for approx the last 15 years. Never any issues even when we accidentally filled up with petrol instead of diesel. Service is excellent would highly recommend them.
That’s great to hear they were understanding Sandra. We’ve never had any issues with Payless either, very helpful and good prices 👍
Payless are brilliant never had a problem used them for 8 years
Great video, I'm really surprised how cheap car hire is there. It's quite a while since we hired a car while on holiday and this information is so helpful. The first time I hired a car was several years ago in Portugal and went with one of the really well known hire companies, it cost a fortune, I didn't make that mistake again. Thanks for sharing
Very informative video. I use the same company you featured. no problem really friendly people on the desk at the airport definitely will use them again. Thanks for sharing
No problem Paul, thanks for watching 👍
Great job Amelia. We can't vouch with any recent hire car experience from Cigar but from say 1999 to 2017, twice a year for a fortnight hire and never any hassle at all. It is wise to video the car on collection and when you drop it off but never any problems. They even sent out two guys because I couldn't loosen the nuts off the wheel to change it for a spare after a puncture. No charge, not even for the puncture repair, (but that may have changed) everything a dream. I have nothing to do with Cigar at all we just found after some of the poor experiences with Hertz in Italy, Cigar and their employees were exceptional time after time. Hope this helps somebody.
Thankyou for a clear explanation of hiring a car
Very informative. I've hired many cars around Europe in recent years and the only company to rip me off? Goldcar in Fuerteventura, December 2019. Avoid!!!
I loved this thank you for clearing this up for us very enlightening
Thanks for watching Duncan, glad it was helpful 😎
Really helpful video.... Thanks so much for going to the effort of sharing...... without this info we would not have hired !
Goldcar, Europcar, Interrent I also would not recommend at all. Fully agree. With others like Cicar, pluscar, autoreisen no issues in any way so far.
Thanks Christian 👍
Incredibly useful thank you so much
Another great video ladies. Many thanks 👍
Cheers Colin 😀
is a credit card required? whether a deposit is required
Any advice for buying a car in Fv please
hi there. quick question: why do you recommend direct hire? we wanted to book onlike 1-2 months earlier. you think thats a bad idea?
Great information. Just a heads up to all your viewers, never use Goldcar. They are not fit for purpose.
Please follow Amelia’s advice for a hassle free car hire experience.
Cheers Simon, amazes me how business they still get with such terrible reviews. Frustrating that they continue to con people when there’s much better alternatives out there 👍
Couldn't have put it better! Gold Car will 'sell' you a full tank of fuel at collection so that you can return it empty without any worries. However they charge well above the real cost of the fuel, which is always for a full tank. Who though returns the car with the barest of fuel in the tank, no one wants to run out on the way to the airport. Hence I followed 2 Gold Car drivers in to the filling station right near their office and watched them fill up the next victims cars. Both cars had only about half a tankful put in, but the next hirer will be paying for the WHOLE tank and at a price well above what the cost per litre really was. Having an annual CDW policy is worth it if you intend to hire on more than one occasion. Gold Car practices extend to Sardinia, took us 2 hours to get top the counter there, in order to be overcharged again!
I’m amazed they are still in business with their shady practices but sadly people keep getting stung. I think it’s because they have partnerships with a lot of the low cost airlines and people just add a cheap car to the booking without reading the small print ☹️
Thank you for the video! 😀
Good video, is it worth mentioning cofete , we drove there last year whilst staying in Moro Jable, it wasn’t until we arrived in Cofete, that we were informed by another holiday maker that we were not insured to drive to Cofete.
Hi Amelia love the videos, I'm due to arrive in September and was looking at some of the ecersions electric bike and a trip to lanzorte do you have any info on these and which are the good ecersions
Ian Macavoy Yes, very good point. It is on the rental contract but not everyone realises this. Even if you select a 4x4 the insurance doesn’t allow you to go off road
David Zimmerling I haven’t done any electric bike tours but maybe TripAdvisor would be a good place to check reviews. You can buy tickets for the ferry to Lanzarote directly with Armas, Fred Olsen or Lineas Romero. It’s quite cheap as a foot passenger. Some of the excursions provide discounts if you want to visit another attraction like the water park. Otherwise I’d just book direct and do your own thing. You can hire a car for the day on Lanzarote side from the same companies mentioned in this video 👍
Hi Amelia have you got any information on your government about how they feel about the uk saying we have to quarantine for 14 days when back in the uk.We are devastated we had booked for 2 weeks at the start of September now it looks as though this will be cancelled so angry as we would not be able to quarantine when back due to our work situation
Canarian President isn’t happy about it and it seems Madrid aren’t either. They want the Balearics and Canaries excluded based on the data. The problem seems to be the UK locator form not being able to separate the islands from the mainland, so at the moment the UK have no way of tracking arrivals from different areas. This assumes that the UK actually polices this quarantine of course!? There is a lot of noise about this so let’s hope common sense prevails. It’s a terrible decision and potentially disastrous for the local economy here.
What car offices are in Corralejo? Do they only have manual cars?
Cicar certainly have an office in Corralejo. You can select an automatic when you reserve the car 👍
@@AmeliaBolger Thankyou, very helpful
Great video girls we are 10 years x3 three times a year tourists you are fantastic.
Thank you for your guidance.
Very clear video thank you so much
Thanks guys very helpful x
Thanks for watching Tony 👍
fantastic informative video !!!thanks Amelia
Glad it was helpful Mark 😀
You should create such a video about the most reliable Wi-Fi provider on the island
We tried one well known provider and it was useless so now have a Vodafone Spain unlimited data/calls/texts contract SIM card and use it in a spare phone to tether wifi around the house. 40-60Mbs on average for €42/month. Until there is reliable fibre then that seems the best option.
Thanks for this relevant information
cicar, cabrera medina and payless are basically the same company. This are local companies, so would be nice if u hire those instead of foreign companies... Canary Islands are amazing, Im from Lanzarote, but sadly I cant say I enjoy this massive tourism. I hope we change how we receive tourists here. It is destroying our islands, and all in the name of money. Money for a few. EDIT: this companies I mentioned have their prices upfront, no extra charges.
Can you use cash to pay aswell
Hi ladies good information on car hire Hazel as said she will drive if we can get a automatic one having several decades of being a passenger with wife l will stick to taxis ps can this be our secret regards D&H xx
Haha, I’m sure Hazel is just as good as some of the taxi drivers out here 😀
@@AmeliaBolger Good evening ladies lm sure it's not long to your holiday in Seville?if the flights are still on take care regards D&H xxx ❤❤
We’ve just got back 😀 Fantastic city and interesting to travel again in these strange times! Have a couple of videos to edit this week to share our experience 👍
@@AmeliaBolger Glad you enjoyed it ladies look forward to seeing the video hope canaries and Balarics island have not been in Spain's lockdown take care look forward to seeing you both in end of November hopefully regards no love Donny and Hazel xx ❤❤
We used cicar. Easy and good Price in our opinion
Just avoid the Sixt office in Fuerteventura. I got scammed by them, they charged me for insurances that I explicitly did not want! I paid over 100 euros per day for a small car. And the car was broken and almost undriveable!
Any experience with Autos Wendy?
so helpful, thank you
Cheers David 👍
just be sure avis check your car before you drive off!
Excellent, thanks
Great video Ladies. Always use autiReisin. Never any problems.
Thanks Mary, they’re definitely one of the good ones 👍
Any Electric hire cars? any public chargers?
Not seen any electric hire cars yet. There are some public charging points- Lidl have some as well as in a couple of the shopping centre car parks and at the bus station. We were very interested in purchasing an electric car when we first moved here 2 years ago. Sadly they pulled the grants that were available so it didn’t work for us at the time. The technology seems to be improving all the time so hopefully there will be more options in the future 👍
Excess can be scary on hire cars
It definitely can! It’s great there’s options here without one 😀
Great information 👏👏
CICAR are the best. They also have cars adapted for drivers with disabilities.
That's good to know! We agree that Cicar are excellent 👍
