Provided I can find a decent enough motor over here for the journey what would you guys say would be a rough estimate on the cost of getting a car from uk to Cartama (id drive it back as well not dump it like most)

I dont want a pence per mile breakdown or owt fancy just a rough figure for the ferry, road tolls and owt else I should know about.

I know things can get a bit tricky with the guardia if they keep seeing the same car riding around with uk plates on so any info on this would also be a help.

Oh and whilst im at it if you can offer any other tips on getting here on a budget or anywhere that does really cheap car hire then go for it guys.

Thanks in advance

Very briefly, cos I gotta get the kids to school, When we were working it all out it was well into the 100s to drive out, much, much cheaper to fly. Of course it meant we didnt have a car, but quite honestly it was cheaper to sell the UK one and buy here. We hired for the first 6 weeks at a dicounted rate, til we had NIEs etc and then bought one.

I'd personally recommend flying out on a budget airline and seeing if you can get a deal from a carhire company, we used malagacar.com, but that was 18 months ago???
