Murcia Airport - Car Hire
Discussion
Does anyone know if there are any car hire companies that don't stiff you for a full tank of petrol, irrespective of how much you use?
Mrs Pincher needs to hire one for a few days but probably won't use it much.
I'm sure it always used to be 'hire full, bring back full' - or is it just another way to make a bit of extra money out of the punters?
Also, does anyone know the names of the companies that hire 'on airport' i.e. you don't have to get a minibus somewhere miles away to pick the car up? AmigoAutos seems to be one but am looking for some alternatives.

I always use http://www.carjet.com for car hire in Spain and, IIRC, you don't pay for a full tank if the hire is 3 days or less, depending on the hire company.
Seen them on Google (carjet)- I guess they must be OK if you are a repeat customer?
Unfortunately, the hire period is 7 days (and she will actually need 2 cars due to the number of people involved). Just seems a bit of a ripoff having to pay for 2 tanks of fuel when they probably barely use 1/4 of a tank between the two cars.

A major credit card such as Visa or Mastercard is needed to pay the rental. You will be given the car with fuel in the tank and be required to return it with the same level of fuel, so you will only pay for the fuel you use. Thank you.
Used them for years - 'Record' provided the last car in May 5 door clio for 107 euro for a week. Admittedly the last 2 years were Alicante but from memory it was the same when we were stopping in Torry via Murcia.Edited by Broccers on Monday 4th August 17:35

I've used CarJet several times to hire from Murcia. Always been there for longer than a couple of days though, so have had to go with 'bring it back empty'. Seems to be increasingly the norm in Spain.
You could suggest to your missus that she drives around everywhere in second gear, or just leave it running during the day and use the aircon to keep drinks cold!
Failing that, she could offset the cost with a bit of local minicabbing!
