Thanks @cino so basically, get the cheapest (except one or two where I only hear horror stories) I can for which they'll block 1500 or so on my card (not really am issue) and have confidence that worst case, they'll be scamming toe-rags and charge for false damage, or of course they may charge should I have a prang, that my stand alone insurance will cover (providing I'm fairly sensible and get reports/receipts etc) and the only additional cost, after rental and stand alone insurance, to me will be a bit of time a few emails?
Cheers

I've been picking up cars from Alicante Airport 2 or 3 times a year, for the last 5 years. I also have insurance to cover the excess , cost around £45 a year , so has saved me a fortune , but more to the point , they did pay out when I did indeed get the surprise 500 euro scratch.
Don't use GoldCar , always long ques at the checkout , and have the worst reputation.
In the last few years I've used Centauro with no problems . What you have to remember is , if you don't take out their insurance they are effectively making no money , so be careful , absolutely make sure the car is checked when you hand it back and get the back of the contract signed.
You're unlikely to get full/full fuel unless you take out the full package , but you're getting the car so cheap best just to suck that one up probably cost you another 25 or so Euro's .
Just booked a Ford Focus for 9 days 44 Euro's!!
