Road trip in Spain

1. The staff had poor English skills, making communication difficult. 2. Pickup time was delayed by over 10 minutes from the scheduled time, resulting in an additional charge of over 500 RMB. 3. They surprised us with extra charges at pickup, forcefully adding a bunch of insurances. 4. The tire had a small scratch, and they charged over 2000 RMB, enough to replace it with a new tire. 5. Severe overcharging, taking advantage of out-of-town customers.

When picking up the car, the counter staff kept pushing me to upgrade the rental model, but I refused. Then they continuously recommended insurance, and when I finally confirmed the order and made the payment, the bill was charged in USD (we picked up the car in Madrid, Spain). This was the only time we were charged in USD within Spain.

Extremely dissatisfied with this deceitful and fraudulent car rental company. The car I was given had no logo (they intentionally gave us a problematic car that was hard to notice, probably to make us pay extra at return and buy their insurance. We already had full insurance and didn't agree). From where the logo was supposed to be, it was clear it had been missing for a long time. We didn't notice or document it until after we left. When returning the car, we provided photo evidence and timestamps, but they refused to acknowledge it and demanded compensation. Any damage to the car should have been recorded, but they still denied it. It seems like a common tactic to extort money. If renters notice the issues, they note it; if not, they get scammed. Another renter, also Chinese, faced a similar problem and was arguing with the company because they were charged for undetectable hardware issues. This is the first time I've encountered such blatant fraud from a car rental company. Never ever rent from this company at Madrid Airport. Many other options are available, avoid this one at all costs!

No fuss, good attitude

The first day we got the car and drove to Toledo, it broke down just before we arrived. We called the emergency support line, and the person who checked it said it was an oil problem and the car had to be towed, otherwise we would be responsible for any consequences. But the support center said I had to go back to Madrid to get a replacement car myself after it was towed. After much negotiation, they sent a car to take us back to Madrid the next day. When we got to the agreed pick-up point, they said they didn't have the car model that was confirmed. They wanted me to go to another pick-up point, which I firmly refused. Seeing my insistence, they eventually sent someone to bring the car over. This whole process wasted over half my day. The replacement car was not even full of gas. We had to drive back to Granada from Madrid, and by the time we got there, it was night, and we missed the Alhambra tickets I booked, costing me over 900 yuan. This booking was made through Zuzuche, and I asked Zuzuche to help coordinate if the tickets could be rescheduled, but nothing came of it. When I returned the car, the rental company charged me 16 euros for the fuel of the first car. Why? The replacement car was not full of fuel when given to me, and I had to start again from Madrid. I demand an explanation and compensation from the rental company for my losses. This is extremely frustrating. At a minimum, I need compensation for the ticket loss and a refund for the fuel charge. I hope Zuzuche can help mediate this matter, and I await the result.
