Despite confirming multiple times before the trip that an employee would meet us at the airport, there was no one when we arrived at night. When we called, they said they were about to close and didn't take responsibility for handing over or inspecting the car. We had to find the car ourselves in the external parking lot. When returning the car at 10 AM, no one was there either, and we had to wait outside for someone to help with checking in the vehicle.

This company is a complete scam. The service attitude was terrible. The staff didn't speak much English and kept speaking Italian. They charged me nearly 300 euros, and then another 70+ euros for postage. After paying, I asked what the charges were for, but they couldn't explain clearly. I thought it was a deposit for the car, refundable if there were no issues when returning the car. When I called the rental company, they told me it was for insurance. The staff at GOLDCAR never mentioned the word insurance in English. The contract I signed did not state insurance anywhere, and there was no paperwork from an insurance company, only the GOLDCAR contract. I repeatedly told them to follow the booking I made on the Chinese website (I had already purchased insurance and paid the rental fee in China). This is outright fraud.

Rude and discourteous staff. Coerced me into buying extra insurance I did not need. Lied openely about not beng able to use my debit card. Giluia who was at Pisa terminal for Goldcar was the worst person I have ever experienced whilst renting a car. I rent weekly for work and to date this has been my worst experience ever. I have made a formal complaint and wish my 370 euros to be refunded.

Lorsque je restitué la voiture le 30 avril à l'aéroport de Palerme, l'agent de GOLDCAR m'a imputé une très fine rayure non pas sur la carrosserie mais au niveau de l’enjoliveur arrière droit. Il faut dire que j'avais inspecté la carrosserie du véhicule lors de la prise en charge mais sans penser à inspecter les jantes aussi, d'autant plus que la voiture n'était pas propre et qu'à 21h00 il faisait noir... Je n'ai vu cette rayure que lorsque l'agent de GOLDCAR me l'a montrée après un examen ultra minutieux du véhicule, justifié par le fait que, malgré leur insistance pour que je prenne leur assurance à la prise en charge, j'avais refusé, parce que très chère par rapport au prix de la location et déjà couvert par mon règlement via carte AMEX Gold. Moral, GOLDCAR m'a imputé un montant de 60 € pour la réparation de cette rayure. Je suis pratiquement certain de ne pas être responsable de cette mini rayure et qu'elle était vraisemblablement pré-existante. A noter que les 4 enjoliveurs en question sont proposés à l'achat, neufs, autour de 40€! Ce n'est pas la première fois que cela m'arrive avec Goldcar de Palermo aéroport et je souhaite alerter les futurs clients.

They are scam artists. Stuck me with a diesel car which wasn't on my rental agreement, then charged me an extra tax ("pollution tax") when my agreement said all taxes and surcharges were included. We discovered about 45 mins. after we left the rental facility that we only got 1/2 a tank of fuel. Called the company immediately who told us to email them the photograph of our fuel gage. Never received a response. We had only driven about 80km (about 50 miles) when we noticed. I drove further than that on the return and it only took about 2 gallons and cost about 10Euros for fuel. When I returned the car with exactly the amount of fuel I got, they argued with me, blamed it on me and then charged me for fuel and a fine. They pushed it off to customer service when it was their own people who told us to email THEM. I will be disputing this with my credit card company.
