    The staff was good and very helpful in the counter and drop off. My only two "remark' are that I booked a Renault Megane and equivalent. And, I have a Fiat Tipo that I do not think it is at the same level. the second one is that one of the shuttle drivers did help us with the luggage. We have not only to load the suitcases in the van, but also to open and close the back door to do it....

    Long waits for checkin. Chaotic checkin and checkout procedures. Charged more than my agreement stated (multiple extra deposits). Long ride to-from airport, and shuttle service limited. Overall, the hassle was not worth the savings.

    The experience was excellent, although there were quite a few people in line to pick up the car. Everything was explained clearly, the car was very new with only a little over two thousand kilometers. They suggested we add insurance, but they let it go when we insisted. Returning the car was simple, no need to clean the car as long as the tank was full. Overall, very satisfied! Will choose this rental company again next time in Spain.

    After taking a number at the car rental agency and waiting in line, they tried to upsell insurance but stopped when I told them I had already purchased it. This Kia is a hybrid and drives very well. The fuel consumption is around 5 liters per 100 kilometers. A good rental company.
