Overall good, but when we arrived at the rental store, they told us they had no automatic cars left and switched us to a manual. Barcelona is full of hills, and we originally chose an automatic to make it easier. As a result, we had to start on hills all the time... My foot got sore...
I have rented cars a few times before, and Barcelona Airport in Spain is the worst. I saw many reviews online saying that they rip off Chinese customers, either by forcing you to buy extra insurance at pick-up or by charging ridiculous fees for minor damages when returning the car. At the AVIS Barcelona Airport branch, I returned the car during business hours and requested an on-the-spot inspection, but the staff kept saying they were about to leave and asked me to leave the keys in a box. The next morning, I received a text message on the flight saying that my credit card was charged 678.91 euros due to damages. I'm sure I drove carefully and there were no damages. I have photos from the time of pick-up, and now we are going back and forth. Even though I bought full insurance, which should have been handled by the insurance company, I feel it is unfair to be falsely accused like this.
The wait time for picking up the car was very long (more than an hour in line). The staff lacked patience and demonstrated poor service attitude. The car provided was old and had over 83,000 kilometers on it. When the car broke down, Rent-A-Car customer service said the car was new, which was incorrect. After driving about 30 kilometers and parking, the battery wouldn't charge and the car wouldn't start. It broke down in the parking lot. I called the car rental company, and it took more than 2 hours for the rescue vehicle to arrive. I requested a replacement vehicle, and they provided a car with significant damage to the right rear door. There were better-conditioned cars available in the parking lot, but they chose to give me the damaged one as a replacement. This impacted my travel plans, and the rental company did not offer any compensation or a satisfactory replacement. This rental experience was very poor!
Overall very satisfied! The staff were very friendly, and when picking up the car, they just asked if I needed additional insurance without any hard sell or hassle. The return instructions were clear, and the receiving staff were very enthusiastic and friendly.
The car rental company is very responsible. When picking up the car, the staff recorded any newly discovered scratches on the rental form. The A3's trunk space was sufficient; I easily fit a 26-inch suitcase, a 22-inch suitcase, and a handbag.
I purchased full insurance and informed them I didn't need additional coverage, but they still added tire and glass insurance. I arrived early but couldn't pick up the car early. I was sick and had to wait for a long time. Eventually, I got frustrated and quickly finished the process to take the car.
