Vibrant and wholly absorbing, Madrid is one of the most energised and culturally fascinating capital cities in Europe. Despite all its first-rate tourist attractions and activities, the city retains much of its original character and offers visitors a true taste of the real Spain. First stop for many is the Prado Museum, a world-class art complex that rivals the Louvre in Paris. Must-see masterpieces include The Garden of Love by Rubens and Las Meninas, Velázquez's famous 17th-century painting of the Spanish royal family. If you only have time for one more museum, make it the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza with pieces from the 13th to the late 20th century covering Renaissance, Impressionism, Fauvism, Baroque, Rococo, Romanticism, Expressionism and Pop Art. Equally appealing is the Royal Palace, Spain's very own version of Versailles. Built entirely of granite and white Colmenar stone, this majestic Neoclassical building is the centrepiece of a large estate featuring the lavish Sabatini Gardens. Madrid is very well placed in the centre of the country for people looking to explore many of Spain's other interesting places. With your car hire in Madrid you can easily reach Toledo (less than 50 miles to the south-west), the enchanting walled town of Ávila (75 miles north-west) and the history city of Valladolid about a two-hour drive north of the capital.

" At the car collection point, when we complained about condition of car, We were told that when a car is returned with full insurance, it is not always inspected ?? So is then given to next customer as perfect ?? "
" Pickup person, was nothing short of rude. Only interested in selling extras. Extra insurance, Electric car, extra mileage, etc We were given a perfect car spec at desk. On inspection Car was decidedly second hand. The car was for use in Madrid which is an Emission Control Area. It had a Hybrid Emission Sticker on windscreen. It was not an Hybrid. "

" You should insist on more sensible insurance excess amounts as a condition of your business - perhaps mandate sensible levels.... "
" My only issue (and this is not limited to Thrifty only) are the stupidly high insurance excess amounts - £1,400 excess is daft. My car had numerous dings, scuffs and dents on collection - no doubt Thrifty had charged the previous renters daft money to repair these, but hadn't repaired any, so the excess is just a money making exercise on behalf of the rental company. I took many photos on collection and return just to be safe. If my car had been perfect, then perhaps an insurance excess is reasonable, but not in these circumstances. And goodness - didn't they check it over for new damages. Why can't it be like car hire in the USA - no stupid insurance excess charges. "

" I hired an electric Fiat 500 and was really excited to try one. Sadly it was an awful experience as it was virtually impossible to charge. The lead in the back of the car was broken and no one told me how difficult it would to use a machine in Madrid. I had to download an app but the app was wanting a Spanish address which I couldn't give them. I only got it charged by a very gentleman from Madrid who did it for me and paid. Amazing that no one beforehand or on the EuropaCar desk warned me. Plus the car charge didn't last very long and I was always worried that I would run out. Really bad experience "

" As above. Have used before and been positive and good on price. The issue i have could be easily fixed! "
" When i picked the car up i raised the issues about tolls as i was travelling Spain and Portugal. I was told all tolls are manual so not an issue. In portugal there were a mixture of automatic tolls and manual tolls. Where i could pay i did. With the automatic tolls i was unable to pay them in portugal because the car is registered in spain. The run around from Portuguese authorities because I want to pay the tolls has been difficult and they remain outstanding. I have been in contact with Budget and got the run around and couldnt even get an email address until the car was dropped off. I have sent an email with the details and still no response. Autoeurope are just as bad as no response for two weeks. I do not want to end up paying processing fees and fines that cluld be avoided. Customer service has been disgraceful and id suggest non existant. "

" The main reason we paid extra for Sixt is the later closing time when we have a late flight. It is a false economy to go with cheaper option and then rental desk is closed. The check out process is very efficient and cars are immaculate. However, make sure you are present when you return the car for inspection. Sixt are very thorough in its check in.

" Unless Autocar refund the money I paid I will never use your services again "
" I will never ever hire a car with Goldcar again. I am a Spanish citizen living in the UK so I have a British drivers license, which was accepted with no problems. However when I showed my Spanish ID card, the staff insisted that I needed to show my passport (also Spanish) which I had left in the place I was staying 120km away. Both are a valid form of ID in Spain and throughout the EU, however staff member was adamant, so I could never get the car I paid for. Luckily I walked a few meters to the Europcar counter, which were extremely helpful and allowed me to hire a great car with absolutely no issues. "

" I often use Auto Europe to book rental cars from the big US rental car firms in North America (US & Canada) and I have never encountered problems with any of the large US hire car firms. This is the worst hire car experience that I have ever encountered. Given the BLATANT lies that the Keddy drop-off employee made, I am making a formal complaint. UP until this car rental experience, I have always been very happy with Auto Europe's service and up until this terrible experience (which ruined y holiday), I would have given Auto Europe a rating of "10" in box "4 HOW LIKELY ARE YOU TO RECOMMEND AUTOEUROPE TO A FRIEND". If my complaint is not dealt with then I would feel I would remove the rating to "1 – NOT AT ALL LIKELY" as I would be left with the belief that Auto Europe does not in fact care about its customers and therefore I would not be able to recommend Auto Europe to any of my family or friends. Can you please call me on +44 7776 397 197 so that we can discuss. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Chris Worcester "
" The car was damaged when I picked it up. I took photographs to prove this. When I dropped the car off the Keddy employee said there was damage to one of the wheel rims. When I said the wheel was like this when I picked the car up, the Keddy employee said he would remove the scratched wheel from the drop-off report and that I did not need to sign the report as he would take care of it and I could leave to catch my plane. This was a lie. He then added a second item of damage to the car, scratches on the tailgate of the car – in fact, like the scratch on the wheel, these scratches were on the car when I picked it up and I have photographs to prove this. When the drop-off report was emailed to me it said that I had refused to sign the drop-off report. This is a blatant lie as the Keddy employee said that it was not necessary for me to sign and that he would take care of it, and that there would be no items of damage on the drop-off report, as I had returned the car in the same condition as when I took it. I have a witness who was present throughout the drop-off process. I will NEVER use Keddy or EuropeCar again. I frequently use Auto Europe to book rental cars from the big US rental car firms in North America and I have never encountered problems with any of the large US hire car firms. This is the worst hire car experience I have ever had again. This is a formal complaint, especially given the serious lies that the Keddy employee made at the drop-off. "

" We had a 3 hour delay and arrived to Madrid Airport at 1am when the Firefly office was closed. The phone number on their website didn't work... We had to take a taxi with my son who's in a wheelchair to get into town. The following morning, I called Auto Europe and spoke to somebody about our situation; I was told that I just need to go to the Firefly office at the airport and they'd sort everything out. I arrived to the airport at 1pm, and I was told by the lady on the Firefly desk that they don't have the same class car at the time and I either wait for 2 hours or I pay for an upgrade. I explained to the lady that I have done nothing wrong and I don't understand why I'd be penalized, however she was very dismissive and rude. As I needed a car to be able to get around with my son who's in a wheelchair so I couldn't wait around and had to pay 100 Euros for an upgrade. Really poor service. I would like my money back!! "

" The Hertz staff at Madrid were rude and pushy, trying to sell us lots of things we did not want or need, and insisting we had no insurance. Then the car they gave us had a boot size 30% smaller than we'd booked and we struggled to fit our bags in. Then when drove off to find that there was a screw in the front tyre and we were losing pressure. There was no spare tyre to change it. We called Auto Europe for advice but we're cut off. We drove slowly towards Lisbon and got there eventually, but they wouldn't swap the car cos it was Spanish. They took our car and patched up the tyre. We were given a much smaller car for a day but not offered a discount on our booking, then when we got our car back they'd also refilled the petrol and charged us their rate for it. When we complained when we returned the car in Seville they just have us a Hertz customer service email. "

" Inevitably Auto Europe has little control over the hire company, in this case Europcar. I have used Auto Europe several times, but frequently find that my arrangement with Auto Europe seems to have little meaning to the hire company (apart from making a basic reservation). The hire company's agents take little notice of what the hirer has arranged with Auto Europe, are very persuasive in promoting additional insurances, and frequently provide a car which barely meets the anticipated standard. I rarely feel I'm getting what I wanted at the price I thought I was paying. "
" Our experience in collecting the car was not good. 1. On arriving at the counter, I was told that my booking (Europcar ref. 1111491606) had been cancelled; and then that another booking had been made for me (ref. 1111513430). I have no idea how this had happened. 2. We had booked a car with GPS, and were told there was only one available: when we got to the car, the infotainment interface was all in Russian; once we had worked out how to change it to English, the display said there was no GPS fitted and that we should use Apple CarPlay; fortunately we had an iPhone. 3. Existing minor damage to the car had not been documented. 4. On exiting the car park at Madrid Barajas, we reached a multi-lane exit barrier but had no exit ticket so had to seek help from the operating staff. Europcar should have told us about this / provided an exit ticket. 5. I have now seen a charge from Europcar on my credit card bill, which may be correct (I did take out extra insurance) but I have no way of knowing how Europcar have arrived at the figure. >>> All this makes for a less than satisfactory experience.

" My last rental with Autoeurope, the rental company unilaterally cancelled the booking but the efficient Autoeurope staff saved the day by organising an alternative. This gives me some confidence that if Budget have not rectified their error, Autoeurope will help resolve the issue. "
" There was no paper contract, it was sent by email, but I don't have roaming and hence did not have access to email. I was not expecting to prepay fuel, but was still charged a deposit. At drop off, the staff made a mistake and I was charged nearly £40 euros for fuel even though the tank was full! I asked for a paper receipt, and so the mistake was noticed, but if I had to wait until I saw an email, I would not have been able to challenge the charge at the time. I am still concerned whether the situation has been properly rectified, but previous experiences with Budget have been great, so hopefully all is okay now. "

" As above - somewhere it should mention which credit cards are accepted by Centauro. We've used other rental companies before and AmEx was never an issue. "
" This feedback is a complaint as I wasn't happy with the rental. While the car and Centauro itself were great, nobody mentioned that they don't accept American Express credit cards. As it was impossible to use another holder's credit card we were forced to take insurance at £20 a day which increased our rental price by %1000. We wish we had known that Centauro did not accept American Express beforehand, we would have taken MasterCard or Visa credit card with us. "

" Interrent wanted to charge me 60 euro a minute after 23:00 when the rent was meant to start at 23:00, even if there was somebody in the office to start the paperwork. They gave us a car a category lower than what we booked (mini rather than standard) and tried to charge us 80 euro to have a standard car. They did not check the car with us and gave us a car with several damages while the form showed no damage at all in the car. We had to take pictures of everything that report the issue to autoeurope.

" Very old car (100.000km) that made a lot of noise as soon as you were driving over 100 km/h. Furthermore we had to take a bus from T4 to T1 (15Min). This is fine as the transfer is free but is nowhere explained in the reservation. Then the wait to get the car at the Firefly office was 40 minutes!!! The rental was cheap....but unfortunately now I know why. "
" This was a good service. No issues with the car, price or terms and conditions. "

" Great service. Excess coverage is a great addition. "
" Quite new car, spacious. Very good service at the pick up office at well "
" Auto Europe on line very good however on the ground partners at Madrid airport not satisfactory. "
" Took an hour to process booking to get car. Car dirty and battered. Firefly wanted to sell us extra insurance for more than twice the full charge of the rental as Auto Europe insurance only covered bodywork not damage to lights, tyres, windscreen etc. They charge through the nose for a full tank of petrol, approx one and a half times what it would cost you at an expensive petrol station. After our first stop the car wouldn't start. No electrics. Luckily we are mechanically minded and traced it down to a very loose battery connection. A few more miles and the tightening nuts would have come off completely. Then we would have wished we purchased the extra insurance! "
" This is exactly what I was looking for: a rental service where I do not have to worry about extras or hidden costs and all is included in the final price. I give you 10 out of 10. "
" My first experience with Firefly. Brilliant service: I liked that I was given a choice of car (though I understand this is not always possible), I DID NOT have to go through the stupid process of checking all the scratches in the paintwork because I was on a comprehensive damage cover. The check-in process took less than 10 min as docimentation was very straightforward. It was very late and with 2 cranky-sleepy children, I was really thankful for not having to go through all the lengthy motions of paperwork, documents etc. Car was not in pristine condition paintwork wise, but so what! The price was really competitive, and engine wise and all gadgets inside were in perfect working order. I would rate Firefly 10/10 in my first use of them. "
" Booking was easy & trouble free "
" Pick-up was completed within ten minutes, very satisfied "
" Friendly, helpful staff. Efficient service. "
" I would recommend the company to my family and friends. "
" Never had any problems, I am recommending Auto Europe regularly to friends and family. "
" Car was ok and employee friendly. I did not appreciate, however, their custom of obliging you to return the car with empty tank (receiving it full), and automatically charging you a full tank at their fee, which is more expensive obviously. This is nothing else than a hidden extra fee, some might say a scam. I wouldn't want to deal with Firefly in the future. "
" We booked a car for a trip from Madrid for a good price through Auto Europe and got a voucher for Advantage. . When we arrived at the airport we found that Advantage had been re-branded as Firefly (but was still part of the Hertz group). This caused a little confusion at first and, although the transaction worked well enough, the deal wasn't as cheap as it first seemed. "
" When we arrived at the airport we found that Advantage had been re-branded as Firefly (but was still part of the Hertz group). Service at the airport was o.k. but we realized sometime later that the charge for a full tank of fuel was pretty high when we got around to checking how much fuel the vehicle actually held. There was also VAT charged at 21% on top of this inflated fuel price. The car had a few scratches and scuffs but otherwise was what we expected. We covered around 1,000km in six days and the car drove well enough during that time. We may use Firefly again but I will be sure to check the extra charges very carefully. "
" Excellent service with great rates. Avis st Madrid were first rate. "
" Great, efficient. "
" The reason I chose Auto Europe to hire a car was I knew which company was providing the car before final booking. Although Auto Europe did not offer the cheapeast price they did offer an exceptable Car Hire Company to me.(Budjet Avis). "
