Exactly, truly awful reviews and lots of warnings about this company. They just advertise very low price only to get proper income in another way... charging you for tiny scratches or stone chips which always existed

Diamond resorts is a "Timeshare" company.........be prepared for a very hard sell while you are there.

I have been many times to costa del sol Diamond Resorts. unless you book through a timeshare deal you will not be bothered in any way to listen to the timeshare presentations. Their complexes have lovely accommodation. I personally recommend the Sahara Sunset on Benalmadena beach front.

Is Holiday Autos one of the car hire companies that want to add compulsory extras and insurance when you arrive at the airport ?

I think "Hol.iday Autos" is just the broker,the car hire maybe from DelPaso car hire......so the answer to your question is YES

£7 for 3/4 days car hire..............i just dont believe it..
You are doing a disservice to forum members by quoting these prices.

The trick is they'll offer you a nice insurance for another £200 If you don't want it they'll just keep the £500 deposit after you return the car

BlueSkies If you are the hukd travel expert then the first thing you should know is NEVER promote, suggest or
quote car hire companies prices......you cant hire a sunbed or a bicycle for the prices you quote..

Taken from google
January is typically the coldest month of the year in Malaga although December and February are only about a degree warmer on average. The temperature typically rises to a daytime high of 17°C and falls to 7°C overnight.
Its not free you still pay so no thanks to cold for me others maybe ?
Edit the car hire is a joke no way can they offer this price !

Give malaga car hire a go .no fueling charge and you can barter on the full insurance daily charge .just across rd from airport ,they pick you up and bus you to office ,same coming back.Not a broker you book direct .used about 20 times without a issue.

First the stalactites and stalagmites are stunning as the caves themselves but feel cheated you dont actually see any wall art which considering its on the main sign was bitterly disappointed,Hopefully they might do what the Lascaux Caves have recently done.

please do not take cheap car hire, you will regret. Always hire direct from car rentals not 3rd parties.

This company have just appeared on Rip off Britain. The holiday someone booked was not covered by abta. As they are just an agent for third party

Car hire price is unbelievable but Martin from MSE has said that you can get a car for £4 if you book in advance BUT look for fuel policy as they charge a lot for fuel so always go for Full-And-Full.
Also, get excess insurance from third party and not from the car provider, take pictures of the car with damages and keep a receipt of the last fuel top-up to show as a proof.
