Holiday Mishap in Ibiza: A Cautionary Tale for Car Rentals

What should have been the perfect start to a getaway in Ibiza spiraled into a costly misadventure for a traveller caught off-guard by the fine print. Upon arriving on the island, she was left without transport despite a prior online booking at just €110 for a day and a half. The issue?
