What to Watch Out For
- Check whether the price includes or excludes breakdown cover — some cheap deals don't include it
- Understand the fuel policy — 'full to full' is best, avoid 'full to empty' (pre-paid fuel) as it's rarely good value
- Check the excess amount and buy standalone excess insurance if it's over £500
- Return the car at the same time you collected it to avoid extra day charges
- Photography note: Malaga road signs are in Spanish — navigation apps work perfectly
