Bloody thieving scheming bastards they are. cussing:
Booked online before I went.
Upon arrival I'm greeted by a couple of surley looking Spanish bints who spoke crap English....how convienient when I have questions to ask ey? ::)
"You want excess cover"?
"Gorrit tar gerl"
"No no no, you no understandio. That what you have only covers for others hitting you. You no read small print that requires you to possibly have extra extra cover for damage to tyres, glass, keys losing, and undercarriage etc etc?
"NO"! Banghead
"We take 400 euros on you credito card just in case, unless you want to payio another 7 euros a day, yes"?
NO chance, and oh, btw, I'm well pissed off, as are the now gathering crowd behind me and the other surley Spanish bint giving me the evil eyes. evil:
"You bring car back empty btw"
"Wha' "? confused:
"We fill car up and you use what you need and bring it back empty. That'll be 95 MORE Euros please." eeek:
"But what if I don't use all the fuel? Do I get rebate, and what rate per litre are you charging me for this extortion?
"No, I don't understand what you mean.
Snatches keys and storms off in a 'uff.
Stitched up like a kipper again, and with virtually no kip in over 24 hours, I'm not in the mood for trying to reason any longer.
Needless to say, they got the car back running on fumes only. Finger:

When I used to fly to Holland I always used Hertz ..... no extras, car waiting at the airport, pick it up full of go-juice, take it back the same way.

This is true. I shall only book with reputable and well known companies in future.
By the time I'd been stitched up on the outrageous and very cunning fuel scam (that I've not come across before tbh) it probably wouldn't have been any dearer tbh. Banghead
Couldn't even get someone to come and check the car over with me for damage either, so I had to note it and go trailing all around the bloody piggin' car parks trying to find the returns office to get them to stamp up my noted biffs and bangs.
Name and shame?

He found us a room funnily enough. whistle:
