I'm suprised. I was looking last night and it seems that all it says is you...

Re: UK disqualified driver in Spain?

Re: im a bit concerned

It's been like that for 20 years though since we first moved to the Costa Del Sol. The rental market has always been sparse as so many people think it is an easy money ride. People think they will...

Re: Being ripped off.

I think the main thing to remember is that just because it isn't England does't mean that everyone is above board. In the same way that you wouldn't get work done in England without references then...
