Staff very polite and helpful. I was convinced that I needed physical damage insurance from your website, so I purchased it. Then, when I arrived in Spain, I was led to believe by the car rental company that it was not sufficient coverage at all, and was basically coerced into buying yet more coverage. So, I bought two separate insurance policies for the same vehicle and time period. Not real happy with this arrangement. In the future, I'm thibking my best bet would be to simply rent directly from the rental car company. Caveat emptor.

Staff were very friendly at pick up in Barcelona and drop off in Madrid. Ricky was the agent in Madrid and he was great! Staff also spoke English in both locations.
