Well it's happening, Im getting married in October, and she has given me the nod to rent WHATEVER car I like for the honeymoon in Tenerife, I could go the supercar route, but in all honesty I want to rent an RS Focus, any ideas as to who would stock one as a rental?

Mark.

I would be inclined to have a ring around, as I doubt anywhere there will have one as a rental.

There are some UK companies out there I think. Or are you renting from the UK and driving down?

swindy

Flying in and renting form there.

Ive been to the canary islands a few times and never seen anything interesting for hire (well not cars anyway )

Have just had a look at loads of car rental sites for there and didnt see anything either.

astra convertable or a mini cooper seems to be about the most exciting sort of car most places do

I think you will really struggle to find a focus RS

swindy

I have been looking and like you guys have stated, there is nothing.

Is there a company in the UK?

To hire one in the UK and get it shipped to the canary islands would probably cost you more than buying one and driving it over then selling it after

I'd go for the supercar option and look for companies near Malaga etc where all the money is.

He's still hundred of miles away and a ferry ride away still. He coulld have called in at my old gaff if he did that bernard.

Stopped of for a quick game of tennis

When you hiitting the road again?

john

September time you on for the drive again ? Get a big sprinter and can kip in that.

Whatever you do hire, watch the spair wheel as its a scam used all over the islands were the spare will simply vanish over night and you will have to foot the bill to replace it. Jeeps and cars with a craddle under the back are the ones to watch out for obviously

So many scams on Spain's roads, fake guardia all sorts quite scary for the tourist who aint clued up. I got done once and was robbed of a lot of money in Madrid. Even the guardia will fine you for anything. I got done for no insurance even though i did have it and had papers on me and having my bulldog on the front seat. Always happens at the end of the month when they need to hit there revenue targets as they are very under funded at the moment.

Locals always drive routes they know there not hanging about on, i do some right mad msisions to get places.

Me + John abroad = Police

We must be the unluckiest dudes around.

Going back to the same place? Can't we just fly?

john

ROFL we always end up in bother.

Remember the french old bill asking us to go down that lane LOL.

Flying probs will be safer though the house is on the costa blanca not del sol. I will get easypet to take the bulldogs again.
