You obviously don't have to take the bus you could just walk over to Centauro especially if there were a few of you , one goes and gets the car etc.
Goldcar, they had a melt down when I said I didn't want their insurance as I had taken my own out, they said I was now responsible for marking ALL the damage on the car before I took it way and if their representative noted down anything different I would have to pay for each bit of damage regardless how small.
So......liking to look after our cars me and my mate did indeed mark down EVERY blemish on this car...this seemed to send them into another fit as now clearly short of writing it off (it was October so the car was mullered) they knew they couldn't sting me for any damage realistically.
Even when I returned it they were almost insistent that I didn't go with them to inspect it, so I didn't...my mate did...ok we got away without being stung but never again thanks.
So either take out their “extra “ insurance or beware.
Using Centauro , booking through Economy car hire, never had any problem.
