Yeah, and I read they charge you somewhat above market rates for the fuel. So, realistically, it's going to cost you about 10-15 euros for fuel if you can get it down to "near empty" for your return.
I also found out they charge 8/euros day if you want to drive the car into France.
These 2 charges would eat up about half my savings over Sixt. On a six day rental, I would only save about $50. Not sure what I'll do. If I were staying only in Spain, the difference would be enough to make me try them.
I've also found a link to this wholesaler. They seem to get good reviews, and give you a little more insurance coverage.
