Counter staff tried to pressure me to buy additional insurance which I had already purchased in the uk. I was also told that if the car broke down or I was involved in an accident there was no breakdown or recovery included in the rental. In her words ‘ you are on your own’. The car had a lot of dents and scratches and the interior was dirty. The woman in the pick up cabin was not interested in helping me to identify all of the damage on the car bodywork when I collect the car.

Waited over an hour to pick up the car. When we got to the desk there were 5 customer service people on duty but one by one they left leaving only one person to deal with the last three customers. They clearly don't care.

It wasn't ACE but Goldcar. I felt like i was made to take out full insurance. There were dents around the car and the number plate looked like it has been badly damaged. It was not a pleasant experience. I will be using a proper hire car firm in future like Hertz.

Goldcar were terrible at arrival! Over 2hrs waiting with 3 children on my own. Rude! Also tried to say the extra insurance with you wasn't enough and that you wouldn't pay out so we had to buy it with them also! Wouldn't use again!

Didn't like rip off insurance extras and withholding over £1000 for over a week. The 'sell' makes the experience stressful. A scratch was also missed on checkout and the agent didn't send me an updated form as he promised. These moments and poor reputation of gold cars lead to distrust
