The entire store is quite dishonest. I recommend choosing larger or more reputable local car rental companies for reliability.
1. Pickup Stage - The car we received was different from the one we reserved, and they aggressively tried to sell us insurance. They kept emphasizing that if we didn't buy the insurance, we might face major accidents or hefty compensations. In reality, just being cautious or buying comprehensive insurance through the app is sufficient. The insurance sales pitch wasted a lot of time.
2. Dropoff Stage - They checked the car's condition at least three times, and after finishing, the staff huddled together and whispered. Since we had confirmed before returning the car that everything was fine, we knew there was no issue. The staff then tried to accuse us of having a smoke smell in the car and forced us to pay a 75-euro cleaning fee. This clause wasn't in the contract, but we had to hurry to catch a flight, so we paid.
Overall, this car rental company operates with an intent to scam, and you might not leave unscathed. Choose wisely.
When I arrived to pick up the car, I was about 40 minutes early. I waited in line for a long time, and when it was finally my turn, they told me that my scheduled pick-up time hadn't arrived yet, and I had to keep waiting. I was waiting with my child, and I don't accept this kind of service. They could have checked if anyone behind me had a tight schedule before making me wait longer.
When it was finally my turn, they tried to sell me various insurances. I showed them the full insurance I had bought on the rental platform, yet they still charged me a 1200-euro pre-authorization.
They stated a 'full tank pick-up, full tank return' policy but directly charged me 81 euros for fuel, saying they would refund it if I returned the car with a full tank. If they had already pre-authorized 1200 euros, why forcibly charge me 81 euros for fuel? Even worse, when I got the car, the fuel tank was not full. It's deceptive, even if the difference was small.
The most unacceptable part was during the rental period, when my car's radiator was damaged on the highway due to a dog suddenly darting out. After calling roadside assistance, the car was towed away, but they said I had to go to a branch 200 km away to get another car with another 1200-euro pre-authorization. I was in Cordoba, a popular tourist city in Spain, and they had no branch there? I ended up with no car even though I paid for the rental.
The next day, I repeatedly confirmed with their customer service if I needed to go to the return branch to complete the necessary procedures, and they said no. However, on the day of the return, I received a call in the afternoon asking me to come and return the car, but the return time had already passed. My car had been towed away a day and a half earlier, and their system failed to update the information in time.
As of now, a week later, the damage assessment is still not confirmed. My 1200-euro pre-authorization and the 81-euro fuel charge haven’t been settled. Ultimately, I had to pay out of pocket for transportation from Cordoba to Seville, as all my planned driving routes were no longer covered.
I suffered significant losses and had a terrible service experience.
