The staff at budget were so unbelievably rude. It was an awful experience collecting the car from them. When we did collect the car, it was not what I had ordered as we received a 3 door Fiat 500e and I had clearly selected a 5 door car. The car had a flat tire that we had to get pumped up, which was extremely dangerous. I have images to prove that we had to take it straight to a mechanic to get air in the tire to be safe to drive. Overall very disappointed and I would never book through Budget again.

Pick up at Atocha station - Difficult to realize that the pick up is on the parking lot and not at proper Atocha Station - 3 ppl were at the counter but only one was attending customers (There is still a sign on the door that only one customer is allowed a time inside) - Information about refilling the car with petrol at time of return was first confusing. "The message was "our rate of Euro 1,20 is cheaper than at regular petrol stations". The detail that the charge would be the costs of a full tank instead of the actually used petrol was explained in detail when I asked the employee to repeat this information again - When I got to the car, I realized many scratches on the vehicle, especially on one side at the back. This was not adressed to me. I asked another employee who walked by if this is normal and that none had pointed this out? Hi responded "Didn't you sign the contract?" I should check there to see if this damages are noted down. I looked in my inbox but the electronic email had not arrived yet, therefor I went back to the counter to lign up behind another customer. When it was my turn, the employee looked for the the information and explained that there is a "code" of several numbers that protocol various damages on the car, so everything is ok but I should still take photos for documentation.... -- Return Barajas The service at the return at Barajas was professional, quick and the person received me with a big smile as well!

Horrible! They gave out our car because our flight changed and when we got there the people in the counter where disrespectful and they said they didnt have any cars. We had to rent another car from another company but this service was terrible.

They canceled my appointment an hour before arriving so they could rent the car to someone else for 4 times as much. What's the point of a reservation that they don't honer? It's not a reservation, it's a complicated and dumb ticket system that is premptable based on their greed.

I paid for car on internet. Later went to pick up the rental and was told I had to pay extra money for insurance £200 for £1200 excess or £300 for £0 excess in case of accident & further £140 for petrol which hopefully I should get back if petrol tank full. I had to pay £600 to rent the car. Apart from the above. The car itself was very nice , had a great experience on holiday. I was able to do much more on holiday. Hertz gave a good service from start to finish in delivery & receiving of car.

I have rented from Sixt in the US before and had a good opinion of them. The price was good and the drop off instructions were handy and acurate. This is the first time I've rented from them in Europe and there were a few things that tarnished their corporate image of them. First, they didn't have my desired car. I was upgraded to a compact SUV because compact car that I booked was unavailable -- a small car for the small streets of Spanish towns would have been better and I don't like higher rides. It was also hard to find the car in Seville lot and nobody from Sixt was around to help. I also felt pressured by the agent in Seville to get additional insurance that I didn't need. The drop off location in Grenada is in an underground parking lot that wasn't well lit.

Very different price from what kayak calculates. 160 instead of 110 for a three day rent. On top of that came a 90 euro insurance. I’m not used to this market but it looks like pricing has Ryanairised.
Nobody waitng for us at the airport. And no one answers the phone when we are calling.

Avis added about 25% additional fees to the contract at the time of pick up for insurance that I didn’t select at the time of booking. I had to explicitly alert the agent these fees are not legit and he took them off. Then again at drop off time when I was getting the final bill, I found the same additional fees added and has to go work this out with another agent to take them off. Not a good experience to feel I’m getting robbed twice. Also, although I filled up the car on my way to the airport, the inspection showed it is missing 2 liters and Avis wanted to charge me 26 euros for those. It was clear that the analog indicator in the dashboard is at the full sign so the inspecting agent cancelled the fees. But again, not the best experience this time

The airport where we picked up the car was tiny so it’s not a surprise we had to wait to be helped. The paperwork took a long time. I had reserved a car for about $70 for the day but was told I’d be charged about $160 if I didn’t bring it back with a full tank. There were no employees around when I returned it at 5:30pm so I don’t know what I was charged. As the rental was in Spain, it’s not easy for me to call and find out. Returning the car was very confusing and not well marked. Another group said the parking was full and suggested I leave the car at the side of the airport roundabout, which fortunately I did not do. The car itself was clean and had a full tank, just the rental process was very confusing. I’m decently fluent in Spanish so that wasn’t the issue.
EV driving in Majorca is terrible. The really fast chargers are all near the airport/palma. Many aren’t even working. Most of the charging apps require either Spanish ID card or similar or RFID card, and won’t let you skip the step. Majorca definitely is far behind France UK USA for EVs - so much so I feel we should have been told by Europcar. Terrible Experience and when I told them on return they didn’t care at all. Avoid Europcar at all costs…. Go with sixt they are the market leader in Majorca and go Petrol.

Came an hour late and did not have our car which resulted in $200 more charge
I booked for a cit y pickup near me (catalunya) at 10 pm on Friday. You allowed me to book but didn't tell me in the booking I would need to pick up the car at Sants which is far from where I was staying. When I arrived, they gave me a key and told me to pick up the car on another floor- they didn't take me to the car. I went and the car wasn't there, so I went back to the office, then the representative found the car with me on another floor. It had a ticket to get out of the parking lot, but the ticket wouldn't work, so I had to go back to the office a second time to get another ticket. The car had an empty tank, which was a problem as I was supposed to travel early the next morning and it was already almost 11pm. Unlike int he US in Spain not all gas stations are open with possibility to pay until 9am, so it delayed my journey. I asked if there were any scrache marks on the car and the said it was automatic, whatever that means. When I went to get in the car, I couldn't because it was parked so close to the car next to it. I had to get in from the passenger side. Which means I didn't notice the scratch by the left wheel. I only saw it in the morning before departing. The drop off was smooth and the representative was kind and understanding. I let him know of my experience. You need to be clear on pick up and drop off and provide a number for the rental. When I called Friday night to pick up the car, it said Enterprise was closed, so I couldn't reach anyone. I simply wen to the station hoping google maps was right and that one office was open. not a pleasant experience.

They canceled our reservation because they didn’t have our flight details and our flight was delayed. The only car they had left when we arrived was electric and it wasn’t even fully charged. It was a nightmare trying to find charging stations. The car was much smaller than what we booked but we still had to pay the same rate.

I was told that my reservation was not ready until 1 1/2 hour after I arrived at pick up point. When the time for car was to be ready I was told that the vehicle specified in my rental agreement was not available but they had a better car but they wanted a lot more money for it, as much as 200 dollars. I refused and showed my original quote and after a lot of haggling they gave me the better model for about $150 more than my quote. With HERTZ this has never happened to me. I have simply been upgraded without the inconvenience of having to haggle over a simple upgrade when they did not have the vehicle previously quoted.

Liked the car itself. Didn't like that the car had only quarter of a tank of gas. Didn't like that I pre-paid for a tank of gas, when I had to fill up shortly after picking up the car. Didn't like that I was pressured to purchase insurance even though I had already purchased insurance from Kayak. Liked the level of customer service at drop off and that the service rep reversed all the wrongful charges.
Excellent service, great cars, wonderful value for money.

We picked up two cars from the Dollar agency in Madrid and dropped them off at San Sebastian. We got one car with fuel tank half empty and were politely told that the fuel gauge was damaged and the fuel tank is actually full. That was a lie. Shamefull behavior by Dollar agancy in Madrid! After drop off in San Sebastian we got a 300euro damage claim by email. When we asked to see the damage and compare it to the photos of the car sent to us by Dollar in Madrid, they simply cancelled the damage claim without showing us the car. Lucky for us we saw their email before we boarded our flight. They simply tried to false claim 300euro. Shameful behavior by Dollar agency (Hertz office) in San Sebastian. I recommend to keep away from Dollar. However, if you do rent a car from them, dont trust their word ans take photos of everything during pick up. And NEVER return the car keys on drop off without going over the car with their representative. Good luck.

I made the reservation on kayak and it said it would be for $22 a day, but then I was charged $59 a day. The car was great but then when I went to return it at the airport I filled it up with gas but it was difficult to find the return area so the gas ticked down to 9/10ths full and I dropped off 15 minutes late. As a result they charged me for an extra day and $75 for gas. Plus there were tons of other fees so that my total cost was over $500 for using the car for two days. Much more expensive then kayak advertised!
