MADRID CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

Average

Initially, we were given a new 7-seater Sorento with 1300 kilometers at Atocha. It had all the features and was easy to drive, but it was uncomfortable for six of us. After discussing, we found that only the airport had an Optima available. So, I drove the Sorento to the airport to exchange it for the 75000-kilometer Optima. The car was in decent condition, no insurance sales pitch, and the exchange process was smooth. Overall, a good experience!

When picking up the car, it had two bars of fuel, and we returned it with the same amount. However, they still charged us for fuel. The staff acknowledged the mistake when we questioned it, but a month has passed and the refund has not been resolved. Additionally, we had already purchased super insurance at the time of booking and showed it to the staff when picking up the car. Yet, the receipt at return included insurance charges and related taxes. These additional fees amounted to two-thirds of the original rental cost. This is the first time we've encountered such an issue after many self-driving trips both domestic and abroad.

Almost no queue, very few people

Very satisfied

Quite satisfied

Be cautious with this store as they may try to make you buy full insurance. Avoid making any mistakes; they might not give you the car if you arrive early or late. Ended up paying an extra 180 euros for full coverage.

Overall very good, the car was in great condition. I got an MG SUV, and there was a no-liability insurance included automatically. If you don't need it, keep an eye out. I thought it was part of the deposit, but it's acceptable.

Very good, straightforward process

Average, they kept pushing for insurance.

The car pickup was quick. Since the reserved car was being washed, we had to wait for 20 minutes, so they gave us another car instead. It was new and easy to drive.

I booked a Peugeot 3008, but HERTZ gave me a Volkswagen. There was no space for my luggage, so I had to upgrade to a Volvo S60. Since I didn't communicate with the rental company in time, I ended up paying an extra insurance fee, which was quite a loss.

The service was good, but remember to bring two cards.

1. Picking up the car went relatively smoothly. The staff weren't very enthusiastic but not rude either. It was okay overall. They didn't try to upsell insurance and I got the model I booked. 2. When returning the car, there was a scratch on the wheel rim (clearly an old damage). A local person returning the car with me confirmed it was an old scratch. But they claimed I caused it. I asked them for evidence and they showed me the check-out form, which indicated the car was in perfect condition when handed over. I then showed them photos I had taken beforehand, and they adjusted my bill. (Make sure to take photos and videos when renting a car). 3. I want to remind everyone again: take photos and videos when picking up the car. It could save you a lot of money. 4. Why only 1 star? Because if I hadn't provided the photos, they'd have blamed me for the scratch. This is dishonest, deceptive, and irresponsible towards customers.

Satisfied

When I rented the car, they first told me that the pickup sheet was not acceptable and that a voucher was required. After a long time, it turned out that the sheet was sufficient. I had already purchased full insurance, but they forced additional insurance on me. When I saw the printed receipt and asked them to remove it, they said it was not possible. It took an hour and a half to finally get the car. I will never use Hertz again.

Everything else was fine, but finding the pick-up and drop-off locations was very frustrating. Also, the store's contact number is a general customer service line that is difficult to reach a real person and not directly the store, making it very inconvenient to get in touch.

Very satisfied, the phone was easy to reach!

They charged for fuel in advance, their English is poor, attitudes are just okay, and there's an extra fee for returning the car a day early.

Couldn't pick up the car, very dissatisfied
