I had already paid the airport pick-up fee, but even after the rental company's customer service and the airport staff communicated, they still claimed they couldn't see it in the system and charged me a high airport pick-up fee again. They told me that C-marked cars couldn't enter the city center and that if a camera caught me, I would have to pay a hefty fine. They suggested I switch to an Echo-marked car for an additional cost; however, in reality, C-marked cars can enter the designated core areas of the city as long as the car is parked in an underground garage and a photo of the parking ticket is kept for reference. This is completely different from what the rental company staff said. They also threatened that the insurance I bought through the rental platform was useless and that they wouldn't help if anything happened, exaggerating to intimidate me. This was the worst rental car company and staff I encountered in Spain. In the end, I insisted on choosing directly through the rental platform, and the staff looked very displeased and did not give me the car model I booked; they only provided a Peugeot 308 and would not respond to my questions anymore.
This company is a scam. The rental cost over 400 euros and included basic insurance. However, at the counter, I was told there was a 2000 euro deposit and a 180 euro fee for transactions. They then tried to sell me full insurance, saying it would waive the fee and be cheaper than 180 euros. I needed the car urgently, so I had to spend another 1700 RMB on insurance and got totally ripped off! Currently, I'm in the process of filing a complaint.
The car was impounded and towed by the police. The rental company charged me €1100, and I did not receive any calls or messages. I have no idea how they charged such a large amount. Typically, even police fines are not directly collected by the rental company. I consulted my Spanish friends, and they confirmed that the police cannot issue fines to the rental company. So I suspect the rental company charged me arbitrarily, and the amount is huge and unreasonable. I am still waiting for a response from the Zuzuche platform!!!
