The car rental counter is located in Terminal 2 and is clearly marked. The pickup process was simple and smooth. After completing the paperwork, you go to the parking lot and find the key counter. The process was seamless and the staff were welcoming.
The car rental customer service was a Spanish lady who tried to sell me additional insurance. Despite me showing proof that I had already purchased full coverage, she refused to look at it and exaggeratedly claimed, 'What you bought is yours, what I recommend is mine. If you didn't buy it...!' We firmly and repeatedly emphasized that we would not purchase additional insurance. We resolutely said NO! Then she got a bit angry and ignored me. After a standoff, I asked if I could get the car keys. She responded that it wasn't 3 PM yet, which was my scheduled pickup time. So, I stepped back a few steps, waited for a few minutes, and received a pickup note or possibly a contract. She vaguely pointed to the side with her hand. I assumed I had to get the keys from the neighboring window, but the lady at the neighboring window told me to go to the parking lot at the back to get the car! Apart from the unpleasant experience with the insurance upselling, everything else was fine. If I had accepted her insurance offer, the total cost would have reached 600 Euros, which is double the price!
The paperwork took an hour. Initially, they said there was no automatic transmission available, then they gave me a diesel Renault. The problem with this big car was that I couldn't drive it out of the parking lot, so I had to come back and exchange it. It was quite a hassle. Even though I had already bought full insurance, they still made me buy insurance. Since I don't understand Spanish, they said it was a deposit that would be refunded. I was with my child, so I signed it. Later, when I asked the rental company, they confirmed I already had full insurance. Just a reminder, do not sign if the amount doesn't match when you pick up the car!
They took advantage of us not understanding English, and noted on the rental form that we chose prepaid fuel. When I questioned this, the staff claimed it was a fuel deposit for returning the car at a different location, and it would be refunded if returned full. But the bank charges showed no refund, and they overcharged by $300. No idea what the fee is! Never renting from Hertz or Thrifty again!!!! Currently trying to find out through the rental platform what the $300 charge is for.
Great customer service didn't have to wait. Would defiantly book with you again
