Car was clean on outside but inside upholstery stained and needed a deep clean. The car had numerous marks on bodywork and I was apprehensive signing off on the condition. The car run ok for the week although the tyre pressure monitor activated. Overall I would give the car a 6/10
My reservation was for a petrol car. After giving me the pickup slip, they chased me to the garage to take it back and changed it before handing it back to me. I realized it was an electric car after driving for over 200 kilometers. When I asked in English at the store whether the car was petrol or diesel, the staff acted like they didn't understand, even after I asked several times. I then realized why they pretended not to understand. It's not just about attitude; I could understand their bad attitude after I refused to buy their insurance, but pretending not to understand 'petrol,' 'diesel,' and then changing the car was just dishonest.
This rental company has the longest queues at the airport, and their service attitude is extremely poor! They only give you two options: either buy additional insurance costing hundreds of euros, regardless of whether you have already purchased insurance through Zuzuche, or pay a deposit of 1400 euros along with a fuel fee of over 200 euros! Moreover, the deposit refund takes up to 28 days! Zuzuche did not inform in advance about the high deposit; when I asked customer service, they just told me to pay and said that cancellation was not an option.
Yeah all worked as it should. A very well used Opel Crossland is not an Audi A2 but it worked for me. Car had plenty of dings in it, but this is normal in Tenerife. Car was fine in all respects, other than a dragging brake. Return process simple and a very helpful guy looked after me. Deposit was a bit steep, but it was only pre-authorised and was removed soon after return.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
QEEQ's site is complex. The price you see in the summary is rarely the price you pay and the it is a nuisance to have to go through it all and uncheck the boxes. Better would be to hold a profile of a user's preferences and work on that basis. Otherwise process is fine.
The guy on the desk at Goldcar was possibly the rudest person I have ever dealt with. He definitely shouldn’t work in customer service. He was very put out we had our own Insurance and therefore did not require his. If goldcar and up as an option in qeeq again I would not book.
The biggest problem was that we booked an automatic A3 car but ended up with a manual SUV Sportage. As you can imagine, it was a nightmare on narrow roads and steep hills. Additionally, they didn’t inform us at all and just pushed us hard to buy full insurance. We already purchased full insurance via the rental platform, which they didn’t recognize. They insisted we buy full insurance again for 130 euros including tax for three days, whereas in other countries, buying it is optional. Only after disputing for over an hour did the manager finally agree that it wasn't mandatory. They also didn’t tell us it was a manual car. We realized it once we got in the car and saw the manual gearbox, but by then, we were too tired to argue.
I had already paid the airport pick-up fee, but even after the rental company's customer service and the airport staff communicated, they still claimed they couldn't see it in the system and charged me a high airport pick-up fee again. They told me that C-marked cars couldn't enter the city center and that if a camera caught me, I would have to pay a hefty fine. They suggested I switch to an Echo-marked car for an additional cost; however, in reality, C-marked cars can enter the designated core areas of the city as long as the car is parked in an underground garage and a photo of the parking ticket is kept for reference. This is completely different from what the rental company staff said. They also threatened that the insurance I bought through the rental platform was useless and that they wouldn't help if anything happened, exaggerating to intimidate me. This was the worst rental car company and staff I encountered in Spain. In the end, I insisted on choosing directly through the rental platform, and the staff looked very displeased and did not give me the car model I booked; they only provided a Peugeot 308 and would not respond to my questions anymore.
The pick up process was most difficult. It was a ticket system but was not communicated so we stood in a crowd for 15 min before we realised. Then there was only 2 staff and it was very slow. We sat on the floor waiting. Then they didn’t take AMEX, which is ridiculous as it is a worldwide accepted card.
Experience with gold car was really good. They help us to understand they don’t have the car what we asked, but still it’s disappointed you’re showing the car, Mercedes and giving a Volkswagen not good.
“Very disappointing rental at Goldcar, and low clarity on qeeq”
About GOLDCAR:3.0/10
Service was terrible. They made me wait an hour because my flight was early. Not even because car was not ready.
Took me 30 mins to wait for someone to come to look at a body hit on the car.
On return they took more than than 10 min to examine every inch of the car with flashlight and photos. Found nothing.
They charged 25% tax on the 90 EU extra pay for border crossing in Europe. A disgrace
The store charged additional fees unfairly, claiming that the Spanish driving license of the driver was less than 5 years old, and therefore charged more than 30 euros as per their website regulations. Fortunately, after seeking help from the rental car platform, it was confirmed that only drivers under 26 years old with less than 5 years of driving experience should be charged. The rental car platform quickly refunded us the fee.
