CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON GOLDCAR IN ALICANTE

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

Booking was easy and the automated price drop re book is fantastic

Counter staff hard sell on upgrade and insurance

Prawie nowy samochód to plus. Delikatnie mnie przymusili do pełnego ubezpieczenia nie proponując innych tańszych rozwiązań - za to minus.

Pas de possibilité de prendre le véhicule plus tôt, j'ai donc attendu à l'aéroport, lorsque je me suis à nouveau présenté au comptoir, il y avait foule et un temps d'attente malgré les nombreux guichets. Pas une personne parlant français, la personne qui m'a reçu parlait très vite en Espagnol, m'a donné les formulaires en Anglais et était fort mécontente que je ne veuille pas de l'assurance d'environ 260 euros. Je n'ai pas eu d'indication pour savoir où je devais récupérer le véhicule. Très mauvaise expérience

Desk computer problem at pickup. Car was not checked for any issues. I was told that this was not necessary as I had paid for full and total insurance. Short delay on drop off. Car checker could not find odometer. Had to wait for his superior to say that all was well and I could go. Otherwise all was good.

Wouldn’t use them again a lot off hidden charges forced into extra insurance to be honest there a complete rip off will NEVER use them Again

You should look into the company’s you deal with more ! Such as gold car !!

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

As expected - have used them before and consistently good - worth remembering to check your car for any scratches etc before leaving the airport.

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.

As per normal - charged extra for insurance!

Would like confirmation that added/extra insurance is, or is not needed

Well I still have not yet been given my final settlement figure. Due to the floods that occured, the car was a little muddy And Gold car are notorious for putting on extra charges after the hire

My go to car hire app

obligation de prendre leurs assrances j ai payer 190 euros pôur 2 jours

22€ de frais d'aéroport au moment du retrait de véhicule ! Ce n'était stipulé nulle part au moment de la réservation ! Ce n'est absolument pas tolérable !

No parking on returning car.

All good

Got charged way more fuel than would ever fit in the car even after filling it up. Not very likely to be using Goldcar 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.

Counter staff (women) not particularly friendly but we still like to use Goldcar.

Good but didn’t use drop price. Really like EasyRentCars.

The guy on the desk at Goldcar was possibly the rudest person I have ever dealt with. He definitely shouldn’t work in customer service. He was very put out we had our own Insurance and therefore did not require his. If goldcar and up as an option in qeeq again I would not book.

Qeeq service and information are excellent.

Car had had a hard 60000km life and had lots of damage and scratches. Pick up was the usual hard sell for extras.

Great price and easy to book. Will try them again

Ended up paying nearly double the quote as they took a deposit in GBP with fee and refunded in EUR. Currently trying to resolve this. Waited 45 mins to be served, rude service, didn’t have the car I ordered, seemed to want to make the process as difficult as possible. Will never use this company again.
