Many visitors to Spain via Menorca Airport complain of being ripped off by car hire services when they get rentals. However, this is not a problem unique to Spain alone. If you are not careful, when it comes to hiring cars, you can get cheated anywhere in the world. Hence, you need to be vigilant whenever you use rental services.

Some things to avoid as concerns car hire money traps are;

Unnecessary upgrades - If you arrive at Menorca Airport and find that you are being given a better car than you booked then think twice before accepting it without asking questions. Many rental services offer car upgrades for free if they cannot for some reason offer you the car you had booked. However, some companies charge for such upgrades and customers only find out about it when they check their credit card statements. So before you accept that upgrade ask if it's free or not!
Paying for damages you are not responsible for - Don’t just pick your rental car at Menorca Airport and drive off. You may end up paying through your nose for bumps, scratches and damages on the rental car that you know nothing about. It is prudent that before you pay or sign your car hire contract and drive off in the rental- you must check the car. Check the car for any damages and even take pictures of any dents so that you don’t pay for another driver’s mistake.
Avoid costly extras - Another money trap that many tourists fall for is getting extras that cost an arm and a leg from car hire services. Examples of such extras are GPS devices, car racks, child car seats and snow chains among other extras. Most rental services at Menorca Airport charge for such extras and they charge a lot of money. Hence, before you accept an extra from the rental company, consider whether you can afford it. Even better bring your own equipment where possible. For example, you could carry your own GPS device and child car seat. This will save you a lot of money.
Insurance - Excess insurance from car hire services can be quite expensive. Always sort out your insurance issues before you travel so that you don’t have to purchase your insurance from the rental company. Use insurance companies in your home country to get insurance.

With these tips, it will be easy to use car hire services from Menorca Airport without fear of paying more than you should for a rental.
