Morning from Portugal.
A bit of a trying day yesterday. Despite the flight being Ryanair it was actually ok. Issues started at the airport with the hirecar. Couldn’t believe we could get a VW Golf for £6 a day so went for an Nissan SUV for about £12 a day.....why not!
First off I specifically requested an in terminal collectction....lie! Had to wait around for a shuttle bus that took us 10 Miles the other side of Faro.
Ok, and breath.
Then, we got our brand new Nissan Quashqai...very nice, then we were confronted with the full insurance hard sell! (Feckers) where as I don’t have a credit card, only debit cards with loads of funds available, we had to take the 150 euro full insurance (MAF is this sounding familiar).
So all I will say is as we have the full insurance and a brand new car, I will be making full use of it! How much does a four wheel alloy refurb cost in Portugal?
The wife has a credit card and they even said no to that as it’s not in the contract name....feckers! Can we change the name on the hire...no sir.
Right, childish I know but I’ll be having the last laugh!
...and relax, it’s very nice here. Bit cloudy and the odd spot of rain but it will be 21 and sunny late morning.
