OK I know this is a hornets nest but here goes.
We usually get to Spain once a year and my preferred hire company is Argus. I've just found them very reliable and have never had grief from any of the hire companies they use.
This year they don't have the car I want (from Santiago de Compestela Airport) so I'm forced to look elsewhere. So how does one pick a reliable company. They all appear to have glowing recommendations from satisfied users.
Any bright ideas on how to vet them ?
I'm au fait with the usual traps re fuel and insurance excesses etc. I always fully check the car over for any damage before taking it away and get any damage noted. Get my own excess cover before I go etc. What else should I be aware of ?
