The service was really slow. I had an appointment to pick up the car at 8 AM on June 6th, but only got the car around 9:30 AM. I rented the car for seven days, so if I picked it up at 9:30, I should have returned it before 9:30. However, they still required me to return it by 8 AM, and charged me nearly 30 euros for an hour delay.
The service was excellent. There were no attempts to sell any additional charge items. If you said you didn't need them, they wouldn't push further. However, at the time of return, there were charges we couldn't understand and we're still in contact with customer service to resolve this. Hopefully, it gets sorted out smoothly.
Spanish siesta time is frustrating! I chose to pick up the car at 1 PM on Monday, April 22nd. The booking showed that the store's operating hours were 8:00-21:00. When we arrived at the store with all our luggage at 1:05 PM, the doors were closed! There were no signs indicating a move or closure. After waiting a bit, we met a man who seemed to be returning a car. He informed us that it was a local holiday and the store was closed in the afternoon. Monday, holiday? I couldn't believe it and quickly checked online, discovering that April 22nd was Easter Monday in Catalonia! How would anyone not local know that?! We contacted the car rental company's international hotline, and after some negotiation, they arranged a taxi to another rental company at Barcelona Airport. I had booked an Audi A3, but the company’s new order was for a Golf. The staff said the car they provided was cheaper than the one I initially booked. They promised to refund me the difference. However, to my dismay, I was later informed that they could only refund the base car rental price after deducting the insurance. As a result, the base rental for the Golf was actually more expensive than the Audi A3! The case is still under appeal. My advice is never to rent a car from a city store in Spain; their operating hours are too unpredictable. The car rental company is also highly irresponsible!
