Excellent booking, very cheap, spoilt by pushy rude employee on Interrent desk.

The car was just what was needed for the couple of days I was in Las Palmas. The whole experience was good, except for the fact that the insurance cost (80 EUR or a 900 EUR deposit) and the fuel deposit (another 80 EUR) was hidden until I arrived to pick the car up. Not the most unreasonable pricing, but disliked the underhanded way it seemed to be hidden until I had little choice but to pay it. Would have been much happy had it been included in the original cost when booking online.

We had previously rented with Interrent in Tenerife, so I knew what to expect from the car - a very small Fiat 500, but it was very cheap so that was OK. It does seem that one of the reasons that Interrent is cheaper is because their desk in the airport and where the cars are located are about the furthest they can be from Arrivals!

There were a lot of hidden costs that we were not informed about upfront, including a mandatory €1000 deposit if we didn't pay out for the extra insurance cover, and a €102 fuel deposit (which is more fuel than will even fit in a Fiat 500). Staff also didn't tell us about these costs in one go, even when directly asked 'what is the total we will have to pay'. This created a really negative experience for us and impacted on a lot of our holiday plans. It seemed like this was intentional, a way of forcing people into paying money without giving them the full information in advance, and it felt like we were being scammed. It was also contrary to the information that we received from our broker, Easyrentcars.com, which advised that we could be charged a maximum deposit of up to the equivalent of $500, meaning that we were missold this car hire deal. In future I will avoid Interrent and recommend that others do also.

The worse experience ever! I rent a car through your company a few years ago in Portugal and didn’t have any problems. Ms Lorena at the desk in Mallorca airport gave me the worse customer service I have ever experience. On Friday 8th Feb I rented a car online. I was charged over £10. Terms and conditions said £800 of deposit was going to be blocked on my card. At the airport the woman said to me it’s £1500, when I asked her why there is nothing about it online and it’s not okay she didn’t have an answer. Then I said that I have my own annual insurance and she said you don’t accept it and I have to pay extra. I asked her if someone would go with me to the car to do the check in. She said: „no, you have to go by yourself and if there is any damage this is your problem”. Unacceptable!! I told her: „I’m sorry but I don’t like your attitude” and she replied „And I don’t like your attitude”. I decided to rent a car from AVIS where I got a great deal and I experienced an amazing customer service. I’m a travel blogger and I’ll mention that situation in my upcoming vlog for sure. I’m so disappointed especially that I always recommended interent. Never again. Emi
