Just back from our second trip to Fuerteventura last week (and would go back tomorrow if I could). We booked a James Villas holiday which included car hire for the week. I was a bit worried about the car hire as it was with Hertz and I had read a few negative things on here. What we ended up with was a Mini Cooper D four door and with almost every option that you can get with it. It had a whopping eighteen kilometres on the clock, nice brand new smell and the thing went like a rocket. All we paid was â,¬6 per day to cover glass and tyres and it was otherwise fully insured. Our Nissan seemed so boring when we got home. I noticed that other Hertz cars also seemed fairly new. On our other Fuerteventura trip two years ago we had a Skoda Fabia with Avis through Holiday Autos which was good and on other Canary trips have used Cicar and Pluscar who were both good. I only bad car hire experience in the Canaries was when we booked with Holiday Autos and got Goldcar,never ever again! We now book direct if possible.

Agree with you Jangles, I have used Hertz to hire cars 9 times out of 12 and never had a problem, yes they are more expensive but you get what you pay for... that said the past couple of times I have used Best autos and again cannot fault the cars or service..
