Hi All

 We always take out the premium insurance it's a bit more expensive but well worth it they dont block your card for 1100 euro they  only block less than 100 for petrol provided you bring it back full they  then unblock this. You can right off the car and it will cost you nothing bu...

...t the extra you paid for the premium insurance but dont book through a comparison website. Book with the companies official website. We use Ok Mobility they have a shuttle bus a couple of minutes outside Corvera. I just booked with goldcar for 300 euro over the phone for 1 week  in May with premium insurance  because their system wudnt accept the security on my debit card. Online I could have got it for 195.

Have you read the REVIEWS of GOLDCAR  on TrustPilot

BE CAREFUL aldo with FULL INSURANCE.  

Sometime if booking thru a third party website,  full insurance is the full insurance of the website offering car hire  and not that of the car hire company  .

Thus  you end up paying TWICE for full insurance as car hire company say  you need to take it there one!

I don't think they can compel you to take theur insurance. They will try to push it but to hey c az not make you. You have rights.
