CGN....I thought exactly the same. A good idea...I’ve no qualms about leaving a cheap hire car anywhere, obviously not leaving any valuables on display.
I looked at the cost of driving out...unfortunately solo as friends either won’t travel due to quarantine, or don’t want to spend hours in the car driving from N Yorks to a ferry on the South coast, then N Spain to the C Blanca. Personally I wouldn’t mind a night on the ferry and the drive across Spain.
Return ferry cost, with car and cabin, for the dates I want, £664! Road mileage each way, according to Google maps, is 816 miles. At 30 mpg, say 125kph on the autopista, toll free, almost £300 in fuel, plus quite a few extra expenses, best part of £1k just to get there and back.
I’ve now booked Ryanair from Leeds for £107 return inc 20kg baggage.
Fingers crossed they don’t cancel...otherwise it’s EasyJet from MAN or LPL....and then they may cancel.
