When we went in the summer we used RecordGo, no problems at all - no idea if they have cars at the moment though! Car had a few scrapes etc on it when we got it, but they didn't even look at the car when we gave it back

Coincidence:

I know, but the other half's dad lives there, we have to visit, and it's costing me absolutely nothing.

The beach isn't too shabby from memory, and I'll be thinking of exactly how much of a shithole it is when I'm sat on the beach on Tuesday, drinking a few beverages!

Martin my parents have a house just south of allicante and before they bought a car out there they used this company I also did when visiting and they were spot on, one of the lads working there actually lived in england for years so his english is better than most!
