Does anyone have any experience renting an automatic in Madrid for spain travel? The prices are astonomical! We've rented before in France and Portugal but at rates much lower. What are we doing wrong?

"What are we doing wrong?"

Insisting on driving automatic!!

(Couldn't resist...I love my stick-shift cars!)

Good luck finding a reasonable rental...I have no idea whether there are any agencies that don't charge an arm (your shifting arm) and a leg (the one that pushes the clutch) for this.
