Roberto is correct. There is no restriction on the length of time one can rent a vehicle. The only restriction is however long the rental company is willing to rent for!

 Its a normal supply and demand price situation. 

Many people whose cars were flooded in Los Alcazares have rented cars.

Hence price rises

Totally agree, hire a car for peanuts and the slightest scratch or blemish and cost will come off your €1200 excess deposit, go direct with car hire company have their insurance and pay around €130 a week on a smallish car.You cant expect to hire a car for a couple of euros a day, the car hire will go bust in a few weeks.

Hi, I find corvero quite expensive, so I fly to alicante, more options on flights and cheaper car hire, i.e recordgo, and have quiet a nice drive down to mazarron.
