PRE-FLIGHT TIPS TO STOP AIRLINE EXTRAS SOARING

Budget airlines are a great low-cost way to fly, but hidden charges can soon bring you back down to earth with a bump.  Airlines such as Ryanair and easyJet advertise flights costing just a few pence, but once you add in their extra fees the final bill can soar.

Which? has filed a super-complaint with the Office of Fair Trading against "rip-off" surcharges on debit or credit card purchases and names low-cost airlines as among the worst offenders.

However, there are plenty more charges to watch out for.

Online check-in fees

Budget airlines' amazingly low fares are designed to catch the eye but blink and you might miss other fees lurking on their websites.

Ryanair's online check-in fee will cost another £6 each way, adding £12 to the cost of each return trip and up to a whopping £48 for a family of four.

Other budget airlines charge check-in fees, too, bmibaby.com, for example, charges £7 per passenger if you book online then check-in or drop your bags at the airport (£10 if you booked through its call centre).

How to pay less: Know the airline's rules before you book. Ryanair offers free online check-in on some flights so keep your eyes peeled. Avoid bmibaby.com's airport service fees by taking hand luggage only.

Taxes and fees

That headline fare won't include fees and taxes which often cost more than the flight. These charges, on a Ryanair flight to Alicante costing £21.99 one way, will add another £31.07. Airport fees and government taxes aren't the airline's fault but they can use them to their advantage.

VictoriaCars now offers car hire services in Seville and Malaga

From January VictoriaCars have been offering their services of car hire at Seville airport, thus following his philosophy of national expansion.

VictoriaCars has opened its car hire in Seville and expanded their services in Malaga. This new inauguration confirms the philosophy of this company whose objective is to offer a car hire service at low prices at major airports in Spain.

With an experience of over 25 years in the industry, VictoriaCars began its journey through the 80's. In a short space of time it spread along the Costa Blanca, settling in major tourist attractions such as Denia, Torrevieja, Moraira ...

VictoriaCars adapts to changes in the sector

The emergence of low cost airlines boosted the changes to forms of travel.

Soon, most tourists who had once travelled from their own countries of origin with their own vehicles changed their mode of transport to by plane. This promoted the need to provide airports with large fleets of rental vehicles so these tourists could reach their final destination and travel comfortably during their stay.

This change of situation was quickly detected by VictoriaCars. To achieve greater customer satisfaction, the company decided to expand their car rental service throughout major airports in the Spanish territory: Alicante, Valencia, Murcia, Barcelona, Madrid ...

And with that same objective they have recently opened an office at both Seville and Malaga airport

VictoriaCars is confident that the opening of this new office will meet the needs of every client that requires a car hire in Malaga or Seville airport.

More services at airports

Victoria Rent a Car is renowned within the parking service industry at airports and this is confirmed by their valet parking at the airports in Alicante and Valencia.

On the 16th of December Victoria Parking opened their new parking in Barcelona, in order to provide parking service for travellers going to take a plane that is cheaper than the airport itself.
