It was painless this time

We looked for Rhodium and Easyrentcars but couldn't see them. We had to ask at another desk who pointed us to 'Gold'. Not sure which company we used, or which was responsible for what. The booking form promised a VW Transporter (ie an empty van) but the rental desk said could either have a choice of minibuses. As the seats folded down, this was ok. Because of the size of the vehicle, the man said it would be ok to return to Level 0, so as not to bother driving round the sharp bends to Level -2. However, the lady at the returns office said no, they needed it returned to level -2. Apart from that, all was good.

Took a long time to be served, as people were complaining about additional costs they were forced to pay. I paid £16 for the week, but had to pay €255 extra at the desk. Disgusting. €130 insurance and €125 petrol deposit which I still haven’t got back despite returning with a full tank. Worst rip off I’ve ever experienced. Con artist cow boys. Ruined my holiday really. Upon return I was told my petrol deposit will be returned automatically in 2 hours. It’s now 2 days and I don’t think I’ll see that money again!! Just to reiterate, was supposed to be £16.00. Cost me €255!

When I arrived to collect the car there were no signs for Rhodium Car Hire. Eventually I was told by a stranger that they were actually Goldcar. If I had known I would have to deal with Goldcar I would not have made the booking. They are the worst company in Spain. Because I never took their extortionate insurance they managed to find 2 small scratches on the car when I returned it. They have charged me E500.00 to repair them. The work to fix them would only require 10 minutes of polishing and they were probably there in the first place but because the car was freshly waxed and polished I could not see them. I travel to Spain very regularly and this is the first time I have used the new Murcia airport so my choice of car hire was limited. In future I will use Alicante airport and go back to car hire companies that I know I can trust.

Es un engaño. Aunque tengas un seguro te hacen comprar otro amenazándote.

Dislike: Don't like the £1100 deposit being debited from my card immediately and having to wait for the credit.
