Goldcar was fine and very good value for money. However, trying to return the car to the Goldcar desk area was a nightmare! Going round in circles and trying to find access to -2 level was a real challenge! Even having to go the wrong way down at the -2 level in the end! A real hassle when signage contradicts and then disappears not helpful. And time spent at drop-off was mostly trying to find it!

They said 75 euros for full car insurance so I agreed but ended up charging me 220 for 2 days car rental. Total exploitation never rent with gold car again in my life. I thought the 220 was for holding amount on my credit card

Awful. I was really quite shocked by the service at Goldcar Malaga Airport. Firstly we could not find the pick up location it is not sign posted. After an hour of trying to find it in the terminal and asking we eventually found the car lot where the cars were and Goldcar staff but only tobe told the main counter was back in the terminal and we had to go there. We explained we had already been looking for an hour could they not help us and they said no. While this was happening 3 other couples approached with the same problem so clearly a signage problem and not just us. Once we did find the main counter I waited nearly another hour to be served. The staff member I spoke with was rude and aggressive. Honestly shocking manner and tone. Then her informing me of all these additional charges I wasn't aware of - no clear explanation of these charges either. She demanded I buy the additional insurance even when I told her I did not need it as I had my own. She told me it would be unlikely I would get my 1400 euro deposit back unless I took the insurance. I told her that was basically a threat to spend more money and that wasn't ok and I wouldn't purchase it. She then told me I had to or she wouldn't give me the car. Then she told me I had to pay about 90 euro for the fuel because the tank was full and they had filled it for me and then there was another 27 euro refilling service fee when I returned it. I explained that this has never been the case when hiring a car. It is always full when you pick up and you bring it back full. I said at best I would pay the 90 euro for the full tank even though this is above the average cost for a tank and I would refill it myself to save the 27 euro. She told me I could not do this as it was in the terms and conditions and that if I did not pay both these fees she would not give me the car. But I have now also just received by email a bill for 38 euros charge to refill the tank. What is going on here???? I feel lied to and extorted.

Had to go for a larger car, which I thought we might, but had HORRENDOUS experience with GOLDCAR!!! My c/card (the same one used to make booking) was rejected at checking, and on checking with my card provider, was told this rejection was instigated by the rental company itself (bizarre!) and at the moment am still trying to have a satisfactory explanation for this from them! Because of this nonsense contrived, it would seem, by GOLDCAR itself, this meant I had to totally rebook with them, costing me a supplementary 300euros almost, ENTIRELY due, it would appear, to GOLDCAR!!!!! Still ongoing, but not expecting too much from them with their attitude at the moment! Disappointed doesn’t seem strong enough!

I collected a hire car from you at Malaga airport on the 5th August 2019. Initially I felt the biting point of the car felt high. The car was then lightly driven to our apartment in Manilva and a few time locally over the next 6 days. I estimate I covered 200km over flat local roads and driving safely with my young family. On the Sunday 11th around 9:30am, we drove as a family to Estepona and the car was losing drive and appeared the clutch was failing. (Your mechanical report will be able to provide technical diagnosis). I managed to get the car very carefully and slowly into Estepona. I then immediately called Goldcar customer services to inform them of the situation and they advised me to drive to Malaga airport to replace the car as this was the only office open on Sunday. Just outside Estepona approaching the AP7, the car came to a complete halt on the side of the road and was no longer drivable. On calling the breakdown recovery service and reporting the issue, a tow truck came to collect me and my young son. As you will appreciate, the hour wait for the tow truck in plus 30 degree heat on the side of a dual carriage way, put my son and I at considerable risk of harm. The car had to be winched onto the back of the tow truck. We continued our journey to the Goldcar Garage next to the airport and were able to collect our things from the car. We were then driven back to the car collection point within the airport. By this time about 3 hours have elapsed and we joined a queue which took a further 45 mins to be served.On reporting the issue, I would have expected a replacement car would have be provided, as the original car had fallen short of the service we had paid for i.e. being driveable. We would have also have expected an apology from Goldcar for not proving a roadworthy car that we had paid for in good faith. This was not to be the case

We waited over an hour to have a member of staff attend to us during pick up. When I finally had someone they were nice but weren’t clear on anything at all really. The car wasn’t anything like the car we were promised and it was due a service and oil change. That alone is disgraceful to allow someone to hire your car without it being up to standard. When returning the car my wife asked for help and was completely ignored. We were only trying to drop off the car so that kind of response is just not on. Poor all round.
