Same with me, I went to the live chat as I kept on receiving fully booked. The Customer Service advised me to go for instant confirmation hotels (both Green ones now though; Instant and On Request and no Blue button).

They gave me options, I booked but had to wait for a while as I think the agent was chatting a lot that time (she kept on disappearing with an advise she will get back to me). But anyways, I got the room that I wanted…

Auriga 8 day rental £88.00 Peugot 307(or similar)
Hertz 8 day rental £166.60 Ford focus ( or similar )

Even factoring in the fuel scam there is still a huge difference in price.
I know where I’ll be going.

Hertz have also ripped me off in the past..when they botched my booking..I had hired 2 cars..they thought it was a mistake so only had 1 car ready. They then “offered” me another more expensive rental car for the same price. It wasn’t until we were back home that I discovered they had charged my credit card the full cost of the more expensive car.

I had once the same experience with my the last-minute booking via Agoda.com. I just kept contacted them for a voucher. Luckily they have a 24 hr lived-chat so I could track on my booking. For more information their CS explained to me that there are 2 type of booking; blue and green button something which refer to wait for confirmation and immediately confirmation so they said we need to notice on that.

Anyway, I still gave them a chance. I used Agoda to book hotel for my last Dec trip to Laos. Everything was fine and I got a great rates but still need to look for a little green or blue button. Just go green button if we are in hurry, that would help.

Once upon a time there used to be a really good car hire company along the Costa del Sol called Crown. Hired a car from them at Malaga aiport on numerous occasions and had no hassle.

Then they got took over or merged with Auriga. Thw whole things gone down the pan.

Hired a car from them at Girona aiport last year and got stung with the prepaid fuel charge. (Previuosly Crown operated on the take it out full/bring it back full policy.) Had to pay a lot more than the car could hold, with the fuel costing about E1.50 p.ltr when the garage price was less than E1 p.ltr. So no matter what the car you are hiring you’ve got to add in E20 for the fuel rip off.

Also got hit with additional insurance charges of E6 p.day for taking the car into France, despite the fact that Girona is only 50kms from the border.

Hired another car from them in December 2007. Despite their website saying that for hire of three days or less they don’t charge for the fuel if you bring the car back full I was debited for the fuel on the day I picked up the car. The fuel charge was recredited when I brought back the car but it still meant I had had to pay Visa’s exchange rate fees (2.75%)

The prepaid fuel racket seems to now be endemic to Auriga Crown though I would add that they arn’t the only hire company at Malaga running this scam. Think I’ll stick to Hertz.

crown-auriga malaga the same bad service, so is you can don’t rent a car here. 50 euro’s for gas in a ford ka tank can hold only 40 liters *1.07=43 euro . if you are able to push the car totaly empty to the airport. if not there is always a few liters left. crown-auriga steal from you at least 15 euro !!!

so if you can rent a car somewhere else , you may have a nice holiday

exit crown auriga a loser is born also under the name auriga crown

Ditto the last. We rented from Auriga Crown in Malaga, and despite their website stating “no hidden costs”, we were slapped with a 50 Euro fuel prepay. (I let the tank go to near empty during the week and put 15 Euro fuel into it and it took it to nearly 3/4 full). So we had to prepay for two full tanks of fuel. Also, OUR extra insurance policy offered was for the CLUTCH and windshield. (20 Euro). (I did NOT take that.) Apparently they charge “extra” insurance for different parts of the vehicle at different locations.

Had the misfortune of Air Asia, actually got to sit in the first row, during the flight noticed strong cigarette smoke,m looked around and no passengers were smoking. Then noticed the air attendant spraying an air freshener at the cockpit door.

If their pilots are so undisciplined I wonder what other rules are routinely ignored.
