Terrible long wait to pick up car (but pleasant and informative English speaking staff) Road access signage to drop off point very, very misleading. (But very efficient vehicle processing once you crack the code and find the entrance) Car was brand new (Daihatsu Stepway, automatic) but possibly the worst 4 wheel vehicle I've ever driven.. Tiny engines and automatic transmissions just don't mix. :-)

Car was not really clean on the inside, seats had stains and the dashboard a bit greasy. The staff were really nice. Car quality not so much though, but enough for the price! You get what you paid for.

The car had quite a bit of damage but the main problem was the staff at Goldcar - tried to force me to take crazy insurance which I told them I already had sorted. Then charged me 30EU so I don’t have to fill car up when return which I had already paid for on my booking. We’re a real nightmare to deal with.

All was good other than the wait, which was over two hours, for that reason we'll never use Goldcar again, especially considering that the amount of people waiting was even greater when we returned.

Goldcar is ok but you have to be very carefull. Take pics, check the car very well or buy an extra expensive insurance.

They put pressure on my wife to buy unnecessary and very expensive insurance at the pick up desk. Trebled the cost of hiring the car. The car had lots of damage on it and my wife didn't get a copy of the damage form until after they'd picked up the car and left. The car had a faulty tyre sensor which made my wife concerned about whether it was safe

¡Horrible! Había alquilado un coche por unos 60€ por un día y cuando llegué a la oficina me hicieron pagar otros 61€ porque decían que mi tarjeta no funcionaba para el depósito del coche (que eran como 1500€) cuando sí que funcionaba, cosa que comprobé en el banco y SI que funcionaba aunque el personal de la oficina de Goldcar me dijo que no por lo que tuve que pagar por el seguro a todo riesgo cuando yo no quería ese seguro. Me gustaría además saber donde puedo presentar una queja por ello.

Pick-up and drop-off were fast and car was new. What we didn't like was that Goldcar charged our card 30 EUR after the rental and never told us why exactly (no email, no receipt, nothing at all). Very unclear and kinda dodgy practice.

After waiting in a queue for two hours, I got to the front of the queue and the Goldcar employee tried to sell me further insurance. After she had explained it three times, I said I wasn’t interested to which she said that I wasn’t listening to her and she therefore ‘wouldn’t talk to me’. Then bumped up deposit so it exceeded limit on my card and then asked me to join the end of the queue to think about whether I would pay for the insurance or not. Needless to say I refused to go to the back of the queue and was left with no choice but to pay the insurance so myself, husband and two young children weren’t stranded without a car. Will avoid Goldcar at all costs in future. Rude and aggressive employee runtimes whole experience.

I waited for 2 hours in a line up and they proceeded to charge me 200 Euros for being 2 hours late for a pick up. I had already paid for the entire day and they still charged me. This happened to a lot of people in the line. Everyone was very upset. This company offers cheap prices online but steals and lies to you when you're at the counter. EasyRentCars is a great website however dealing with Goldcar will tarnish your reputation. Goldcar is the worst company and customer service I have every dealt with in over 35 years of travel.

A male attendant at collection, challenged my booking done via yourselves and in disagreement with my understanding of the terms and conditions was extremely rude. He SWORE at me in French on several occasions, assuming I could not understand him as the conversation was being held in English. A female colleague took over and sorted everything ou for me on this occasion. The could not give me the Citroen C4 that I had requested. The return of the vehicle was very smooth.
