Almeira Hire Car Recommendations ...

[paul_y3k]

Have booked a nice little villa in August, flying into Almeria for th first time and not sure which hire operators are there. Any recommendations ? I'd had problems before with gold Car when flying into Murcia so happy to avoid them ....

Most of the agencies are simply that and I have found that it's not really the operator but the airport that is the issue.
I have had excellent cars from Goldcar as well as the odd dubious ones.
Dk.Blue Merc A150 - Alicante
Xsara Picasso - Mallorca
Astra 1.7D - Alicante
Ford Fiesta 1.4 - Mallorca
Ford Fiesta 1.6 - Mallorca
All top notch bar the Astra (thinking about it, that might have been from Murcia).

Centauro have always given good cars and service but are not always cheapest (Like them on Facebook and get 5% off)

www.doyouspain.co.uk claim to guarantee cheapest rates.

My last hire was referred to Firefly, a subsidiary of Hertz and I got a well used but acceptable Kia C'eed diesel at a very good rate. My next hire is coming through Firefly too so will review that then.

I hired a Clio from Murcia from Auriga Crown and that was OK

Almeria is a lovely area. Get down to the Cabot de Nijar national park and see the almost deserted long, long beach and the flamingoes. I love that area. Where are you staying?

hmm rightio, I'll see whose doing what.
We're staying in the Sierra Cabrera mountains, so about 50 mins from the airport. My Parents live in Mojacar, so the plan is for us to have a week on our own, staying south of the area, and then stay with them for week 2 and do the usual Mojacar bits ...
