Is the journey from benalup to the coast by bike hard or easy.

Hi Alex,

We recently hired a car from Goldcar based in Jerez  airport. Having paid for the hire of a Fiat 500 for 7 days online including extra for insurance we thought it was just a case of picking up key and away to go.

No such luck. At the Goldcar desk  we were told we had to pay 84 euros as a deposit for a full tank of fuel.  All we had to do was sign a document in Spanish to this effect. 

On returning to UK we find out this document has nothing to do with fuel but is in fact additional insurance at a cost of 220 euros with no return.

I would like to know if other people have been duped in the same way.

This experience has put me off travelling to Spain ever again.

Update.

Our credit card company have informed us that they will investigate only once we have translated the contract ( signed at the airport)  into English.

We are looking to relocate to Chiclana De La Frontera and would like to purchase a Spanish registered, medium sized car. We would be interested to hear from you, if you have one for sale.

Hi,

I'm new to this forum.

Has anyone got a good reference for an English-speaking electrician for domestic services near Alcaidesa?

Thanks,

Hi all, its a little later than i had originally planned, but we are now planning to make our move early in 2023 (hopefully January). I am now looking at the process of applying for a non-lucrative visa (NLV). We are a US couple and i have looked at the requirements and forms needed on the web site of the Spanish Consulate in New York. It actually looks pretty simple and that we meet the requirements. Part of me says, just fill out the forms ourselves. Another part of me says hire an expert because things that looks simple often  are not.  Any advice?

Hi 

My wife and I are planning to come over for3 months from January 23 , and would like to make contact with anyone who plays golf either as a member of Sherry golf course, or who belongs to a society that plays there regularly.

Many Thanks

Hola,

I am looking to rent a house in Sanlucar for 2 months, starting at the end of June. We are a couple, a writer and a musician, with an adorable cat. The house has to be totally furbished. Apart of piano, computers and books, we don`t bring anything.
Thank you, Raluca

I am in the process of gradually retiring as a Prof in the UK and spending more time M-S. Is there any chance of getting a cheap 2nd hand Spanish registered cars to keep at the house, as hire car and taxi prices are getting so expensive? Does anyone have an old "banger" that they would like to get rid of? Or would anyone like to see if it is feasible to form a car club where we take it in turns to pick up from airports?
