Car hire companies profiteering big time! - Page 3

This response is probably too late
I’m using Camposol car hire for my trip in July as they’ve quoted me a far better deal than all of the others. However I don’t know we’re you’re flying to as they’ll be dropping the car off at Alicante for me.

Give them a try Brian if you haven’t sorted this out already 

Cheers Jim

“You might get a few grand off a property in Ireland or the U.K. but here that few grand can be really substantial. Our last property purchase here was 10K less than the asking price”

So someone wants to sell their house: they will have to pay 5%+ commission (anyone tell me an agent charging less?), the agent knows houses are not selling so they value the house down to make a sale easier, the buyer offers an insulting price, and the seller cannot afford to sell for that, as their next house will cost around 12-14% in taxes and fees on top of the asking price….

How to deflate a housing market in a few stages!

If you pick your crossing you can arrive in Bilbao early the next morning and then ( for us ) it's an easy 8hr drive on good roads arriving at the apartment in the evening. Enjoy your "cruise" crossing, relaxing on brand new ships and it adds to your holiday. Fare is around £400 for 2 + car and now includes dinner and breakfast in the ship's restaurant. You would spend money on meals either way and you don't need to stay in a hotel after a good night's sleep on the ship. You don't have to worry about "false" damages on a hire car, expensive insurance and are familiar with your own car.

Prefer a two and half hour flight personally, especially at the moment with flights at £12.99

Also booked flight to Corvera  end of June 12.99  going out £25.99 coming back, not bothered where I sit on the plane and don’t need any luggage.

Great prices but when you factor in the cost of 3 PCR tests it's not worth travelling.

Two and a half hour flight....plus time at airport/ getting to gate so probably 4 hrs in total constantly wearing a mask. No thanks.

Sometimes saving a few Pounds is not the "be all and end all".
