Car was a right banger with that many scratches and dents I went back into airport to be shown the paperwork showing all the marks. Got told I needed to pay 8% tax on vehicle and airport tax. Cost me £152 and was told if I didn’t pay that the car hire would be void after 6 hours. So had a choice of either paying it or standing there for 6 hours then not getting car. I have since received £117 back for fuel. When picking up my mother in law asked a few different car hire companies about this tax and they said they had never heard of it. NEVER AGAIN WILL I USE GOLD CAR.

They only care about selling extras and making sure you sign on a screen with your signature. Not clear what you are paying for as they talk very quickly and they just tell you 'You have selected this option' which is not true. Terrible service, they are only after extra money ,probably on commission.

I was happy with the service and the car. However, there was an extra unexpected charge when I collected the car. It wasn’t clear what this was for as it was suggested it was for airport taxes, but EasyRentCars stated all taxes and fees were included.

We couldn’t get the car we had paid for as gold car wouldn’t accept the insurance so we had to pay another £175 or they would charge our credit card £1400 which we would get returned to us within 30 days . This is totally unacceptable and for this reason we will not recommend your company and will not be using again

Gold car are thieving scum bags there is nothing more to say about them, they are the most deceitful, crooked and rude people I have ever dealt with. I watched them rip off an elderly couple for insurance costs in excess of €250, they have charged me €30 for removing a water bottle from the car and cleaning up a few grains of sand. They failed to mark a scratch and dent on the vehicle that was huge, they were undoubtedly trying to scam me upon return. This took over 60 minutes to get someone to photograph and the staff were all rude, dismissive and intolerant. Disgraceful company they should not be allowed to operate in any country.

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.

Although I had documents saying amount due at airport as 0 I still had to pay a fuel surcharge of €24 (or they refused to give me the car) plus the incessant pressure sales techniques from Goldcar to take their insurance. Booked a Ford Focus got a Seat Leon which was smaller than anticipated

at pickup car had more damage than on the paperwork provided and staff refused to inspect it with me to identify additional damage. On return they were only willing to issue a verbal ok and it took 20 minutes of arguments to get a signed piece of paperwork. they still refused to confirm that the car was full of fuel
