The staff was good and very helpful in the counter and drop off. My only two "remark' are that I booked a Renault Megane and equivalent. And, I have a Fiat Tipo that I do not think it is at the same level. the second one is that one of the shuttle drivers did help us with the luggage. We have not only to load the suitcases in the van, but also to open and close the back door to do it....

Long waits for checkin. Chaotic checkin and checkout procedures. Charged more than my agreement stated (multiple extra deposits). Long ride to-from airport, and shuttle service limited. Overall, the hassle was not worth the savings.

The experience was excellent, although there were quite a few people in line to pick up the car. Everything was explained clearly, the car was very new with only a little over two thousand kilometers. They suggested we add insurance, but they let it go when we insisted. Returning the car was simple, no need to clean the car as long as the tank was full. Overall, very satisfied! Will choose this rental company again next time in Spain.

Overall, the service was good. The staff member who assisted with the car pickup was very patient and spoke good English. The return service was okay, but the staff seemed a bit impatient due to the language barrier and the large crowd.

The attitude was average, but the efficiency was good. The process of picking up and exchanging the car was quick. However, the car initially assigned to me couldn't be found, so they provided another one, which was covered in scratches.

This company requires an additional deposit for fuel, which will be refunded if the car is returned with a full tank. There's a QR code for check-in at the entrance; it’s recommended to upload your identification information while waiting to speed up the pick-up process.

After taking a number at the car rental agency and waiting in line, they tried to upsell insurance but stopped when I told them I had already purchased it. This Kia is a hybrid and drives very well. The fuel consumption is around 5 liters per 100 kilometers. A good rental company.
