When picking up the car, the sales repeatedly recommended insurance. Upon returning the car, the staff were extremely picky, trying hard to find tiny 'scratches' that were almost invisible. They assessed 360 euros in damage. I explained that it was already late at night when picking up the car and such small marks were not visible. Moreover, the staff was very busy and told us to just drive away. The return staff said: 'You used the car, and the pick-up record shows no damage, so you are responsible.' I refused to pay. Although they did not charge on the spot, they did not clearly explain whether the fee would be deducted from the credit card authorization. The whole service experience was filled with discrimination against Chinese tourists. We often reside in Europe and usually rent cars directly from local companies, where the process is hassle-free. This experience has tainted our otherwise perfect trip. Unless you have language difficulties, I do not recommend using this rental platform.
Overall experience was great, with simple pick-up and drop-off procedures. However, it is essential to thoroughly inspect the car's condition during pick-up, take photos of any scratches, and ensure staff record them in the contract. Otherwise, returning the car could be troublesome.
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.
In addition to credit and debit cards, you can now pay for online car rentals with cryptocurrency! Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) are accepted. Curious about how long a Bitcoin transaction takes or how to pay with Bitcoin? Read our FAQs for more details.
