“Goldcar are dishonest and a £75 rental can quickly become £350 for a weekend.”
About GOLDCAR:2.0/10
They suggested an additional insurance above the one provided by easy rent, so that it would cover roadside tyre repair, which I did want to have. However €95 later, when I tried to use the cover it turned out that it did not include it at all, and the insurance they provided was no better than the one I already had.
I then had to drive on the spaces aver spare for 2 hours to the nearest office to change the car, which was for a smaller car than I had booked and was a very uncomfortable 5 hour drive back home.
I also had to pay for the petrol to get to their office to change the car for another.
Absolutely would not recommend.
“They took money for insurance without my consent. It’s a fraud”
About GOLDCAR:2.0/10
They sold me insurance I never needed or asked for. They called it deposit but never paid the money back. I have private insurance. The affirmed They will pay the money back after dropping off the car. In front of witnesses. It’s a fraud.
GoldCar is a FRAUD. I said clearly I am not interested in buying extra insurance. they took money from my credit card without my consent for insurance I never wanted. they do not even answer my emails. I will report it to police ASAP.
“Crap rental experience and charged £200 without notice”
About GOLDCAR:2.0/10
They have charged me an insurance protection without ever telling me what it was!!! She told me there would be a £70 fuel deposit, took my card and charged me €310 without ever saying what it was! Complete rip off company, will never use Goldcar again.
“Le prix de la location était imbattable mais la caution ne nous a jamais été rendu ....”
About GOLDCAR:8.7/10
On nous a demandé de juste laisser la voiture au retour , sans contrôle, ni rien. Donc il faudrait qu'il y est un vrai check out pour confirmer que la voiture était bien intacte et que la caution soit rendue car justement la voiture était en parfait état
Nous attendons toujours notre caution de 350€
Gold car are the worst company I’ve used. Having been going to the same destination for 30 years, I’ve never experienced any one as rude as Lorenzo at Goldcar. Despite informing him I already have insurance, he called me a liar and insisted I paid extra (which I didn’t of course). Avoid this company like the plague, they are just after your money. A good 1.5 hours of our holiday was wasted speaking to this rude little man.
Goldcar added extra 25 EUR for the airport fee even though I have bought all included voucher and they refused to read what was said in the voucher details, saying: "all have to pay that extra fee".
Car was spot on. Staff at the counter was friendly, helpful and quick. Car was a bit scratched but other than that it was good condition. Overall I'm very satisfield with the service :)

Incident signalé auprès de Goldcar ce jour :Bonjour,
J'ai loué un véhicule du 7 au 14 juillet à Palma de Majorque.
Le jour de la prise en charge, on m'a fait payé un montant de 342,67 € en me précisant que ça allait m'être remboursé à la fin de la location. On ne m'a, à aucun moment, demandé si je voulais prendre une assurance complémentaire (j'avais déjà pris une assurance 0 franchise auprès de AXA via le site sur lequel j'ai loué la voiture Easyrentcars).
On m'a remboursé 117 € concernant le plein d'essence que j'ai fait au retour.
Mais on ne m'a pas remboursé le reste !
Je viens de contacter le service commercial (qui n'a de commercial que le nom) où on m'a expliqué que j'avais souscrit une assurance complémentaire !!!
C'est une honte d'imposer comme cela une assurance à un client sans même lui demander ou lui expliquer. Je l'aurais de suite déclinée dans la mesure où j'en possédais déjà une.
Ce sont des méthodes d'escrocs et je vous demande de me rembourser dans les meilleurs délais cette somme correspondante à cette assurance.
Je vous remercie de votre réponse rapide et positive sans quoi je lancerai une procédure et sans quoi je ne manquerai pas de signaler vos méthodes à travers les réseaux sociaux.

“Although I had a credit card, it was rejected. Apparently because the numbers were not "engraved".”
About GOLDCAR:2.0/10
It is absolutely ridiculous to ask a foreigner to submit a Spanish credit card. I was not the only one to be rejected because of this reason. Absolutely disgusting
I'm a New Zealander, living in UK and I don't usually write reviews but I felt I must, this time.
Firstly, I booked and prepaid online using EasyRentCars which was very easy and I will definitely use them again. As for GoldCar, I will avoid them like the plague. Beware of their scare tactics to up-sell you insurance and roadside recovery at extortionate rates.
I had prepaid £110 for 10 days hire yet and, after going through the necessary paperwork, the representative proceeded to say I owed €349.00, €99 of which was for fuel deposit and service charge which was okay. The other €250 was for their insurance and roadside recovery that she tried to say I must have and cannot go without. I already had insurance and roadside recovery in place so I knew I didn't need this at all but, she wasn't having it.
After about 5 mins of an awkward back-n-forth she started saying "If you break down, no one will help you. If you have a flat, no one will help you, If you crash, no one will help you." To which I replied, "I think I'll manage and I'll be just fine." She then said I'd have to pay them €1100 right now and even if I get just a little scratch, I'll lose it all. This is actually a held payment and fully recoverable through your own insurance if you do have an accident so again I said not to worry about me and I'll be okay.
By now, she was not happy. I think they must get commission for peddling the insurance because it really seemed to annoy her that I was ok. She even went on to circle the insurance/roadside recovery help line number and then said "But, you cannot call this number because, no one will help you." Absolutely disgusting use of scare mongering and I bet they trap a lot of people who a) don't have their own insurance in place, b) don't realise you don't need theirs as well or c) Don't have a credit card with €1100 on it to cover the held deposit.
Although, my wife and I joked 'no one will help you' throughout the holiday, I
Was told there were no petrol cars available and I would have to pay en extra €70 for a diesel (despite later reading in their own T&C's that there should be no charge in this case). Fortunately while I argued a petrol car was found.
