This company is a scam. The rental cost over 400 euros and included basic insurance. However, at the counter, I was told there was a 2000 euro deposit and a 180 euro fee for transactions. They then tried to sell me full insurance, saying it would waive the fee and be cheaper than 180 euros. I needed the car urgently, so I had to spend another 1700 RMB on insurance and got totally ripped off! Currently, I'm in the process of filing a complaint.
“Good overall, would use gold car again. Have in the past with no issues too.”

Have not received refund yet but told it could take 10 days.
Car had scuffs but identified on paperwork at collection.
Overall a good transaction, wait not too bad, car clean and tidy and no issues when using.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
QEEQ told me via chat I would only need to pay for the fuel used ie fill up before returning.
When collecting vehicle apart from the deposits which I was expecting I incurred a charge of 7€ of airport charge which I was not expecting. Not the end of the world but not aware
car was a little smaller than expected we have driven a Panda before and found this a spacious vehicle. we were given a Toyota Aygo and this was a lot smaller
No creo que el coche reservado sea similar al que nos entregaron. En Golgcar no reconocían el seguro contratado con QEEQ. No nos permitieron usar el pago a través del móvil, sin haberlo comunicado en las condiciones previas.
“I like GoldCar but on this occasion they did not meet expectations, was eventually corrected.”
About GOLDCAR:8.0/10
Booked a Nissan Qashqai or similar, they did not have any cars in this category left (DISAPPOINTING) so they had to upgrade me to the next category which was NOT an upgrade at all, the 7 seater category and I got a DACIA Lodgy more like a work van, car was awful and very used, with many scuffs dents and scrapes. Eventually swopped for a Qashqai at another location a couple of days later as I had booked this car for a few weeks.

Good app good service, feel like the prices are higher now in-comparison to other providers
“Mind the extra insurance and currency of the security deposit operation”
About GOLDCAR:8.0/10
Interrent is very persistent in selling extra insurance and fully charges the security deposit on your credit card. It’s a heavy process and should be done as a preauthorisation only. Moreover the deposit is charged in the currency of your credit card (eg. USD) and refunded in EUR so you lose on exchange rate significantly
“Sort of OK (for car rental, which is always shit), but still a bit shit”
About GOLDCAR:7.0/10
Process of collecting terrible. Large queue. There was a ticket system for the queue that wasn't clear / signed, so we stood in a queue for ages before realising we needed a ticket, which put us to the back of the queue again.......
Twice I got scammed with this rental service. Isn't it normal that we don't understand the Spanish contract? I booked a Mercedes B-Class for 307 RMB, but I received a Link electric car and was forced to pay an additional 71 Euros plus a 148 Euro deposit. Do you have no conscience in forcing these charges? Does this rental service have any moral principles left? Renting a regular electric car and telling me it's an upgraded Mercedes?
“Would book through qeeq again but probably avoid goldcar”
About GOLDCAR:7.0/10
Quite pushy with the sell up insurance and clearly weren't happy with me refusing it. I had to point out quite a few damages that weren't on the original damage report. Two days after dropping the car back off they rang me to ask why I hadn't dropped it off yet, I told them when/where I dropped it off, they have emailed me with the end of hire report so guessing it was just an error but they haven't rang back to explain or apologise.
Good location for pick up & drop off ; the physical damaged items of the rented car was mentioned in the check out contract as shown in level 1 to 3 but it cannot be defined as shown in the contract.
The car was fine, it was a VW T-Cross instead of the Audi Q2 I was expecting. It was pretty scuffed up on the exterior, but this was already confirmed by them. The engine was pretty underpowered for the hilly roads in Marbella however.
They made an error on calculating my mileage for when I returned the car, which came out to 15 thousand kilometers driven in 5 days! So they sent me an invoice for over 6300 euros in excess kilometers. Obviously I contacted their customer support to dispute this and fix the error but I did not hear back from them for 2 days. I then contacted them by telephone at which points they informed me that the error was already corrected. That was a relief to hear, but then why was I not informed of this correction via email?
They will also try to upsell you their insurance package even when you have already purchased full insurance via Qeeq, claiming that only their own insurance is adequate, and if you do not choose it they will pre-charge 1400 euros from your credit card as a security deposit. Pretty ridiculous, but Goldcar is not the only one to do this.
