Poor service at Alicante airport desk, car missing basic features such as working wipers

The wait time was too long, but the staff provided great service. It is inside the airport, so it was easy to find.

The delay to pick up was shocking. I had to wait ages. And missed a dinner date with friends because of it. There was no apology when I eventually got to speak to the Centauro staff.

Hiring the car was really easy. The only issue was a really long wait to do the paperwork before car. The counter staff were very helpful but there weren’t enough of them to cope with the numbers waiting to collect. They also spent too long on the hard sell of additional insurance, which did slow things considerably. We already had additional insurance but the staff member still tried to sell us more.

The purchase of the car rental was really easy, the confirmation was emailed promptly and the app was also useful.

Seller tried to force me to buy additional insurance. He was trying to threaten my about what bad could happen. I refused to pay, tried to put 1000 euro cover on my credit card in case of possibly demage but my credit card had limit below this amount. I resigned and didn't pick up the car, afterall this was my vacation and I didn't want to bother myself about additional expenses or thinking what bad could happen to the car.

Like: Hired the car for 5 day trip. Persuaded to take additional insurance as usual. No Gas station on main road into Alicante airport to refill before return so had to exit terminal and find gas in town.
