About GOLDCAR:2.0/10
I will never ever use GOLDCAR again. The car conditions were disgusting, filthy, dirty with a red light on the dashboard indicating that the car needed service. On arrival there was only one person serving about 10 customers.
The service attitude was good, but the damage assessment of the vehicle was ridiculous. The rental fees are not expensive, but they strongly pushed insurance upon arrival, 50 euros a day, which is more than the rental fee! I was told that any minor damage would start at 300 euros since I did not buy their insurance because I already had comprehensive insurance and years of overseas driving experience. Three days later, returning the car at the airport, the story unfolded: during the inspection, they found a crack about 2 cm in the left taillight of the car, which is a subcompact Kia, similar to the lowest class of private cars in China like the QQ. The repair cost in China would be around 300-200 yuan. I thought Goldcar would charge 300 euros for sure. Unexpectedly, they calculated a whopping 1077.34 euros, including repair fees, taxes, downtime, etc. It was a total rip-off!! By the way, I never had an accident. The only explanation is that it got hit while parked. Honestly, I suspect they might have intentionally damaged the taillight during inspection, but this is just speculation without evidence. Additionally, the gas station near Malta airport is extremely hidden. I've never encountered an airport that hides the gas station so well, clearly to prevent you from returning the car with a full tank. I couldn't find the gas station and planned to return the car with an empty tank due to a tight schedule. In the end, Goldcar charged an 80-euro refueling fee, not including the fuel cost! It was just a handling fee, completely unreasonable. It’s an absolute scam! Be very careful with them, and you'll need to be extremely vigilant to avoid being ripped off.
1. Overcharging.
2. When returning the car, I visited the airport counter the day before and was told by the staff that someone would be at the parking lot to collect the car at 6 AM. However, on the day of return, I waited until 6:30 AM and no one showed up.
“Make a mistake on booking and didn't add the excess insurance. Couldn't get easy rental to add it”
About GOLDCAR:9.7/10
Car was spot on. Gold car staff was good. Check in staff was hard to understand if he was saying 7 or 70 eurso to add the excess insurance.
Checking car out and in was excellent.
They messed up the pick up and drop off. The confused the registration in the car. They sent an automatic email to say my car had been returned one day earlier than it should have been and it took 1.30 minuets to sort things out when i returned the car. They also tried to push sell thier insurance ..even when i proved i had insurance they tried to say they did not accept American Express credit card. When they did accept it. They are a very bad company
