Quote from: clonian on May 13, 2024, 09:36:39 AMI need to hire a car in Malaga in July. Been looking at a few options and got some recommendations for the companies to use but I was wondering are you better taking the higher cost options to cover for the issues with scratches etc. I have heard of some nightmares on returning the car.
It works our €268 without the extra cover and €1200 on your card or €412 with the higher cover level.
I've hired a car aboard a few times. First time I paid for the extra cover, and it does give you serious peace of mind while driving, and even moreso when parked up, you don't have to worry about someone dinging it while you are out and about. But there is a fair difference in price.
The last few times, I've gone with the cheaper option, but have taken out additional third party insurance to cover the excess they hold on your CC, I think the last time it was £20 or something. Luckily never had a problem when returning the car, so have no experience on how easy it is to claim etc. More for peace of mind.
