After picking up the car in Madrid, we drove directly to Toledo. Halfway through, a tire alarm went off and there was no way to address it on the highway. We had to keep driving to our destination. Upon checking, we found the front left tire was slightly deflated. We immediately went to the AVIS branch in Toledo, but the location provided by the rental platform and the GPS didn’t have a store—it seems the branch had already closed. With no other options, we spent half a day looking for a repair shop but couldn’t find one. Ultimately, we used an air pump station to fill the tire and monitored the situation. Later, we discovered the tire had a slow leak, triggering the alarm every three days. Although it didn’t compromise safety and Spain offers convenient free air pump facilities at gas stations, this issue still wasted a lot of our time to enjoy our trip.

Very nice, they gave me the car without any hassle even though I arrived early.

Picked up the car in Madrid; the originally booked Volkswagen Touran was replaced with a Fiat diesel car. I'm not sure if this was an upgrade. The diesel car is slower to accelerate. The pick-up location was decent. However, the drop-off in Granada was on a Sunday. It never occurred to me, nor did anyone inform me, that the store would be closed on Sundays. As a result, I couldn't find the drop-off location and there was no attendant. Fortunately, a very kind local helped me by calling the Madrid store to inquire about the drop-off details, then accompanied me to the designated parking area and showed me where to drop the keys into the box at the store entrance. Since they pre-charged me for a full tank of fuel at pick-up, I contacted the rental company's customer service multiple times via email. Luckily, when I returned to Shanghai, I saw that the bank only deducted the car rental fee.

Awful length of time waiting to pick up car
