Where can I hire a car in San Pedro del Pinatar

I have been stung by goldcar/rhoduin. Never again I hope.

I have used Centauro many times and have not experienced problems with them. The only thing they do which is a little irritating is they  try and make me hire a higher spec car, anyway I decline this always.

There's a bus service Bamburgh from alicante  drops u at bus station or long-handled  07:00 12:00 n 17:00 daily departures  takes 2 hours..  There a mundo car hire  in Santiago De La Ribwra but I have never used them  they are out the airport road in ribera   

I agree with Chris, Centauro are very good and very honest. I think if you want a hire car the airport is your best option. Enjoy your longed for holiday.

Thanks Chris. 
I will give Centauro a try.

If going with centaurs  register on their website with your email. do your search but don't book.. the later that night they may send u an offer upto 30% off the original rates going.    They do seem to be shockingly expensive these days  n I would describe myself as a regular user of them  . :(  here is hoping their rates decline.

Used to live in San P & always used Centuaro. Apart from some of the ladies being a grumpy in the office (haha) they are a good firm, straightforward & honest, not like Goldcar etc. However, stopped using them and bought a cheap car, as they got so expensive. Like another contributor said, there is ALWAYS a deal on, anywhere from 10-35%, just do some googling and you'll find different discount codes, or sign up for their newsletter and they'll send them to you. Alternative option is the guy I bought my car from (its an ex hire car) Ric who runs it still has plenty of vehicles on his fleet, I believe. Nice fella, he'd arrange an airport pick up as necessary, has an office in Cabo Roig (by Iceland) and Alicante too, according to his website. http://rtscarhire.eu Good luck!

We arrived at Alicante airport last Sunday 5th Sept. Car hire companies at the airport wanted €6/700 for one week and the reviews scared the hell out us >70 years old. 
We had prebooked an overnight at the Areca hotel and by chance asked if they could recommend a local hire co. Without hesitation the desk clerk got on the internet and within minutes had arranged a Seat Arona from a firm called Paquito Rent a Car. The guy dropped the car to the hotel within 2 hours and the total cost was €359 plus €90 being over 70. We are delighted with the car ( brand new so no scratches etc with which to rip us off later). Hope this helps. 

Hi Dom

Thanks so much for taking the time to post your reply.

I will certainly check out Rick’s website, as I quite like the idea of having a car at our property. Especially as we to hope to be able to visit Spain more regularly.

Thanks again
