Too long a wait at the counter and when getting and dropping off the car

I was concerned upon arrrival and seeing Ace was at the same doubter as goldcar with just a tiny A4 sign as I had read so many poor reviews of glodcar, this meat I left with the hire car with some concerns regards what would happen when I returned it! The guy on the vonnter was very polite and did not push any additional insurances as I had expected, we had no issues with the car and return was smooth. I would just recommend that Ace distance themselves from the negative glodcar reputation if possible.

Easy booking and clear paperwork with simple easy to understand recommendations regards the additional excess waiver insurance provided.

Waited nearly 2 hrs at pick up desk then had a very unhelpful member of staff at the outside desk where you pick up car keys the lady handing out keys through them at me and couldn’t tell me where car was will not be using ace again

The wait to pick up the car was rediculously long, especially in a warm airport with 2 young children. Counter staff were quite rude and once we realised car was far too small, we weren't able to upgrade. Wait for return was also quite lengthy.

Booking was smooth and easy to include all waivers.

Goldcar were terrible at arrival! Over 2hrs waiting with 3 children on my own. Rude! Also tried to say the extra insurance with you wasn't enough and that you wouldn't pay out so we had to buy it with them also! Wouldn't use again!

The car was very beat up and the guy handing over the keys said he didnt cxare what state it was brought back in. The car stunk of spilt alcohol and there was a hole in the front divers carpet. It drove okay although there was no radio reception. Later found that the aerial had been broken off. Next day with my wheels turned outwards I realised the two front tyres were badly worn and probably illegal. I looked in the boot for the spare, but there was none. I could not find any details on the booking paperwork for a number to phone. Very disappointed, the rental was not cheap but I was given a third rate /unroad worthy car
