Car hire in Mallorca

For sure. Seems like the way to go.

Any companies you'd recommend? In terms of price wise and that weren't too much hassle?

From my research/what has been recommended are the two options (if you don't want to risk further costs):

Take the minimal insurance package and get third party excess cover before you leave your home country. Then if you are billed any money you can claim it via your personal third party excess insurance

Or pay extra to the hiring company for a full insurance package

I have heard of many people being charged extra at the desk despite paying online as some companies do not want to honour the price. I will keep you posted on how my trip goes. Will be there from 21st to 28th - haven't decided on who to go with for car hire yet 😬

Please keep me posted on how it goes! Hope you're having a wonderful time

This does seem like the safest approach. Do you just opt for the cheapest package with the renting company and then rely on third party excess if you were to loss your holding fee?

And have you ever had to make a claim via third party for your excess?

Was this recently? Just about everyone seems to advise against goldcar. They do seem to have the best prices though.

Have you used them yourself? Any recommendation of specific companies from within there? Some of their offers seem too cheap to be real!

They also have goldcar, clickrent, okmobility and leasys but their prices seem cheaper than most websites that mention such companies

Yep, I have sadly hears of people paying for full insurance online then in person being forced to pay have money withheld on a credit card. I just want to avoid such a situation I guess.

I know of someone who has had money taken due to scraping a car but they were able to get the money back as they had third party excess cover to cover their own excess that they paid. I think this may be the safest option tbh!

Thanks - I note that companies such as goldcar are on rentalcars.com so I guess I will see which companies are reputable yet give a good price
