MADRID CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

Not satisfied, didn't pick up the car and didn't get a refund

This company is a scam. The rental cost over 400 euros and included basic insurance. However, at the counter, I was told there was a 2000 euro deposit and a 180 euro fee for transactions. They then tried to sell me full insurance, saying it would waive the fee and be cheaper than 180 euros. I needed the car urgently, so I had to spend another 1700 RMB on insurance and got totally ripped off! Currently, I'm in the process of filing a complaint.

The car was very new, but the service attitude was average.

Unfriendly attitude

Very satisfied

Not bad, although it's not an Alfa Romeo.

The reserved car was not available when we arrived at the store. We were given two options: a free upgrade to a Mercedes Benz van or a small manual car. On the narrow streets of Spain, driving the Mercedes van was impossible, and with two large suitcases, we couldn't fit our luggage in the manual car. Essentially, we were given two unusable options. After almost 3 hours of back-and-forth communication, they finally agreed to get a car from another location, and our luggage could barely fit. The car we got was a downgrade (a small Kia), but it only cost us 20 euros less. The entire process was extremely frustrating, and if it weren't for our necessary travel plans, I would have canceled the rental right then and there.

There weren't many people renting cars, so I got my car quickly. However, the rental company tried to sell me insurance even though I had already bought full coverage online. They wouldn't stop talking until I called the QEEQ platform, where the customer service handled it for me before I could sign the rental contract and receive the car.

Great experience, both pickup and return were very convenient.

Half a month after returning the car, I suddenly received an email saying the car was damaged and asking me to pay 390 euros. What a surprise! Luckily, I kept the rental receipt as evidence, or I would have been scammed! Always take photos and videos when picking up and dropping off the car, and keep the receipt for a long time. Avoid choosing Hertz or Thrifty!

Very satisfied; the car we received was a new model with only 500 kilometers on it. There were three significant scratches during the car inspection, which were confirmed by the store, and returning the car was hassle-free.

No upselling, but the car given was too small. I booked a Renault but got a Kia hybrid, not sure what model. With 5 people and 5 suitcases, it couldn't fit anything else. Considered getting a bigger car, but the price doubled, so I decided against it. Spain really requires small cars; navigating old town streets and even regular parking lots is a test of driving skills and judgment. Another issue was that the trunk couldn't lock, not sure why. Remember to send the address when picking up the car; just head to the car rental parking lot. There was a traffic ticket and toll fee from Portugal; not sure how much of the deposit will be refunded.

Good service attitude, very satisfied.

Very satisfied

The reception was warm and efficient, with straightforward pick-up and drop-off procedures and no hidden charges.

Good

Overall quite good. The store at Madrid Airport in T4 is easy to find. If you land in T4S, be sure to take the shuttle to T4 to find the store. I wandered around T4S for a while... When returning the car, make sure to go slowly. If you drive too fast and miss the entrance, you'll end up at the parking lot's toll booth. Once you're there, you can't go back and will need to take another lap around. The actual car return entrance is a small, inconspicuous opening on the right before the toll booth.

Good, very fast

The staff had a poor attitude and looked displeased, like we owed them money. The wait time for the car was long. Only the store in Spain was like this.
