Spain car rental really cheap?

[TimberWolf]

I've been looking at car rental prices in Spain and am having trouble believing the quote I'm getting. £28 for 3 days for a Corsa or similar. What's the catch? Is car hire usually this cheap, specifically in Spain? Admitted I will also have to buy a £2.99 / day damage insurance excess waiver policy. Maybe some "extras" will appear when I hit 'book'? Has anyone had any experience/problems renting cars in Spain? I do realise taking out car rental on the spot with AVIS and the like is a more expensive proposition.

That may be us soon. I hope they aren't planning any more strikes.

What are you doing up so late anyway? Did you meet with the MP and tell him what a travesty ICTs are?

No need to rush a reply, it's soon time for me to turn off the internet.

I drove down to Spain in August & I salute your bravery in wanting to drive there.

With the many near misses - especially at roundabouts / junctions, I concluded that the Spanish driving test is meaningless

You drive around for an hour. If you are still alive at the end of it, they give you a license.

You made the mistake of driving like a tourist (using indicators, mirrors etc). This immediately singles you out as a target.

I'm doing a family duty run to Gibraltar. I can get a cheap flight to Malaga, but unfortunately that flight doesn't arrive there until 21:30, by which time the Spanish buses and trains will have stopped for the day. On my own I'd be happy hanging around in Malaga airport until morning, but I will have someone in toe and that's not a good option. I had been more concerned about driving in Gibraltar (where all the cars seem to have dents), and was considering mooring up in La Linea. Driving from Malaga airport to Gib would be easy enough?
