They messed up the pick up and drop off. The confused the registration in the car. They sent an automatic email to say my car had been returned one day earlier than it should have been and it took 1.30 minuets to sort things out when i returned the car. They also tried to push sell thier insurance ..even when i proved i had insurance they tried to say they did not accept American Express credit card. When they did accept it. They are a very bad company

Absolutely shocking experience. The details in agreement were totally different than the actual state of car. When I challenged Goldcar staff about tire-pressure monitoring system warning light being on I was told it's ok (it's not ok where I am from, it's serious safety issue), then I have noticed the fuel tank was empty where my contract stated I'm renting car with full tank and returning it with full tank. I was once again been told that it's ok an I can return car empty, too. And when I asked if that is a common practice that contract doesn't match reality the answer I received was "THIS IS MALTA" Very unprofessional approach.

I will never ever use GOLDCAR again. The car conditions were disgusting, filthy, dirty with a red light on the dashboard indicating that the car needed service. On arrival there was only one person serving about 10 customers.

The car I had booked wasn’t available, so I was given an ‘upgrade’ which was a car that was too big to park in most spaces in Malta.

Car was lovely and clean and brand new. Customer service in pick up was poor. Insisted on paying an early pick up charge even though the car was ready and waiting and I was only slightly over the allowed pick up time. one staff member said I could pick it up to 2 hrs early while another said it was 30 mins.

It was explained to me that I cannot rent a car with American Express card because they are very easy to cancel payment, but then they start twisting my hands to pay full insurance on the same card. The amount of the insurance asked was 3 times more than the rental. Huge disappointment and 0 customer service.

Goldcar agents were very efficient and the check out of the car was quick and easy using their app solution to checking the car out rather than the paper form used by other hire companies.

Counter staff were very pleasant and helpful. The cars body work was in poor condition (scratches,dents, body trim missing). The service indicator on the dashboard was on. The cars running performance was very poor it had a problem with it. We didn’t report this until we dropped car off at end of our stay, because we were only staying for a few days and didn’t want this to have any impact on the time we had on the island.
