After arriving at Murcia airport recently for a family holiday to La Manga I was shocked to discover that the hire car company would charge me 100 Euros for a full tank of fuel and informed me that I could bring the car back empty. This being a diesel car and only being there a week it would be almost impossible to use that much fuel.

In the end I only used a quarter of a tank. No doubt the next user of that car will be charged 100 Euros (the company only having to fill a quarter of a tank). I have never heard of this way of charging for fuel. I think this is absolutely scandalous. Needless to say Easycar (who I will never use again) has failed to reply to my complaint.
