" Everything was great I must admit. Apart from the extra £270 on top of the £333 what we paid. Like I said that £333 included the extra £5 a day for the best cover. We paid the extra £270 was that extra £5 a day taken into consideration? I didn't realise this at the time. "
" When placing the booking I choose the extra £5 a day for the best insurance, totalled £333. When we collected the car I double checked with the man at the counter, he said no, done a few clicks on the keyboard and said it's an additional £270 for the best insurance. My jaw dropped. Was that correct please tell me ? "

" Only reason for a 9 as opposed to a 10 is that whilst the rental was booked for 6 passengers, the confirmation said it was for a "van or similar" so I was a little concerned that it wouldn't be a 7 seater. Auto Europe agent confirmed via phone that it would be a 7-seater but it would have been more reassuring if the booking said this. "
" Very good experience. Queue at Alicante airport was short (most competitors were long, some ridiculously so). Rental provided to me efficiently. Return of car was very quick, Dollar checked the car there and then and signed off the return. Overall the pick up took 15 minutes including queueing, drop off took 5 minutes. I would use them again.

" The condition of the car was very poor, there were 20 or so areas of damage to the car, quite a number of them significant scratches and dents. Ended up wasting over an hour on our first evening emailing photos to Hertz to show all the damage. Why was the car presented in this manner and not repaired prior to being rented out? Arrangements in Santander to return the car were poor, had to queue at the main desk for 15 minutes to get somebody to come and look at the car, they were busy with clients wanting to collect their cars and there was no one specifically to deal with returning cars. Given all the damage on collection expected more support from them in speedily checking the car back in. Would have been very uncomfortable to have just left the keys given the condition of the car. Disappointing. "

" As per previous but would also say most of the other cars seemed in much better condition than the Polo we were given. It felt like Hertz gave us this car because we were booked with Dollar. Before I left the airport the warning lights were on for screen wash and overdue service and oil !! "
" Firstly it's the Hertz desk with a small Dollar sign. Would have been handy to know. Secondly I've never seen someone take so long to put whatever detail into a computer. I thought he was writing a novel. Also for constructive feedback his breath was a real issue and not pleasant in a customer facing role. The the vehicle was not ready. Only waited 15 minutes but on top of the time to get booked in 45 minutes passed. More time than we were in the airport. Then the car had dents and damage on most panels. Ask them to send you pictures! Finally would be helpful if the screen wash hadn't been empty. Never again would I book with you I'm afraid. You give the job to Dollar and they sub it to Hertz. There's no control and we have never given a negative review before but this was a terrible experience. "

" Same as the last question you asked me . Would I use you again . Yes . But I definitely wouldn't pay the extra for the insurance as it's not worth it "
" Dollar was at the airport Hertz. They were very good . But for me , my only concern is they tell you that the car insurance you take out with Auto Europe is worthless . I took out the better insurance with Auto Europe aswell . So to be told to either put down £800 on your credit card or pay their insurance for £80 was a bit of a joke . But I took the £80 insurance cos last year when we booked with Auto Europe it took nearly two weeks for the £800 payment to be repaid on my credit card . When you are told it won't be taken off your card , just held . So I felt I had no choice but to pay their £80 insurance as I didn't need the worry of having to pay their insurance £800 before it was returned to me . So my advice is . If you're taking out a car hire don't do the insurance in this country cos it's just not worth it . "

" I found the experience to be very professional and handled well by the stafff. It would be great if Dollar were aware that I had already taken out collision damage waiver insurance with you as it took some time to explain this at the counter. It seems that at this day and age the car should come with GPS as it had everything else. It knew when the spead limit changed. It was a good car but the alarms were hard to deal with in the dark driving throuh a town. It was beeping because I was travelling slightly above the speed limit, but I was only keeping up with traffic. So an option to turn off the alarms or only have them beep once would be welcome. The rear passenger door would not work, but we worked around this for the week. the return was very efficient. "

" My wife and I have been SCAMMED whilst collecting a car in Fuerteventura airport 18/12/2023 "credit card scam" You try use your card to put the refundable excess on it and then they decline your card. Meaning that you ONLY have one other option to collect the car which is to BUY the extra insurance and pay with another card or cash etc @ €149.50 ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS BE VERY VERY AWARE It makes sense why it took so long in the queue to collect the car lots of people "struggling" to collect pre-paid cars ??!!??!? If you want extra confidence in what I am writing is true. Please visit wikivoyage.org (the travel advice website) which clearly states that the scam is commonplace with most of the rental companies in the Canaries "

" First of all tried to sell us insurance after we said we had our own. But really pushed this saying cars often get damaged there. The car we were given had lots of damage dints scratches scrapes ect thankfully I took at least 20 pictures of all the damage as anticipated maybe an attempt to try to blame us after we hadn't taken their add on. We were correct as on return the lady checking the car homed right in on the smallest of scratches.Thankfulky I had photos which clearly showed this scratch was there so was done before we took possession of the car. We felt that this was just an attempt to scam us and get us to pay for something we had nothing to do with on a car that already had damage. Awful and I feel sorry for others who may not have the evidence to prove their innocence, "

" Shocking hard sell tactics to take out extra insurance at Hertz desk. He said if I didn't take it we would have to wash the car before bringing it back. My wife was very upset. He said there are always extra marks on the car when it's brought back so very unlikely you would get your 820 euros deposit back but pay 162 up front and you don't have to wash it. I've hired cars in many countries over the years I'm 57 now and visit the island often. He even tried to say you have no insurance. I said you couldn't let me take tge car without it so he said OK you only have 3rd party insurance which is all I wanted. I'm back now but still angry as he obviously does it with everyone making lots more money at the customers expense "

" Normally I have quite a good experience with cars I book thro autoEurope. This was disappointing on the part of this individual Dollar employee "
" Pick up of the car was no problem. Very nice helpful staff at the desk. The car was lovely and clean and drove really well with no problems at all. On returning the car, however, although I was the only customer at the desk, I was disappointed when the staff member refused to check the car with me. She kept repeating that she could not until she phoned someone first. She said that would take up to 20 minutes and then she could confirm whether or not the car was OK and that the block was removed from my credit card. Anyway she said she would email me to update me. I had to go away but came back a couple of times between 20 & 30 minutes later but no one was at the desk. Then I had to go and catch my flight. I have still received no email from dollar. I was left anxious about the block on my credit card. But on checking my credit card account, it seems to be removed. I don't understand why - in this small airport with the car close by and no customers at the desk - this employee could not just step out and check the car; or at least keep her word to be back in 20 minutes or send an email. I was disappointed. "

" Auto Europe has always acted on my behalf within their contracts with car hire companies "
" Dollar/Hertz refused to accept the insurance document at pick up even when we showed them the Auto Europe confirmation. They insisted we take their insurance at a cost much higher than Auto Europe. As this occurred at 2350 on Sunday we had no alternative but to pay. The next day I attempted to contact Hertz by phone/online to cancel the insurance. It proved impossible to reach the airport office/Hertz Espana/Hertz Europe as their systems did not recognise the 'K' reservation number. Latterly I lodged a complaint via Resolver.co.uk. Hertz refused to deal with this until the rental was complete. On completion they replied that I used their insurance so we had to pay! If they do not accept to refund via the Resolver system it provides for a free of charge resolution under consumer law and/or the supplier's policies. Extremely poor customer service "

" I'm happy with the service from Auto Europe, but not from Dollar/Hertz for the reasons stated above. "
" I was stood in a queue at the Hertz counter at Malaga airport for well over an hour, and there were only 6 or 7 people in front of me when I arrived. That is unacceptable and for that reason I am unlikely to use Dollar or Hertz again. The check-in staff took too long and blamed their superiors for the delays, who apparently refuse to provide more staff. So unfortunately it would appear that Dollar/Hertz are putting profit ahead of customer experience. "

" I paid for one day which was the charge of £56. I contacted customer services prior to collecting the car; stating that I would like an extra day. Customer services advised to sort it with the desk on the day. Then went to the counter, the second day wasn't the same rate as £56, but actually got charged £70 for day 2! It was £35 for the car but she didn't decide to mention the £40 insurance. It was so much cheaper if I'd have done 2 days via the website booking. If I knew the extra day would have been £70 I wouldn't have proceeded. Basically feel mugged off. "

" Auto Europe did their part, my problem is with Dollar /Hertz. "
" Arrived at the desk and waited a long time due to only one agent who seemed to take ages processing each rental. When we got served were told that since I was an hour ahead of my expected pick up time they did not have a car in the group we booked. Option was to wait for over an hour in the hope that a care was returned or pay more for a car which was available. Havin been travelling for many hours we took the second option and paid €93 more. When we actually picked up the car there were lots in the group we had booked. When we returned the car the agent confirmed that everything was in order so I asked for a receipt confirming that the car had been returned with no damage. He told me that I would receive that by email. That was a week ago and I still have not received a receipt. "

" Everything was good except the nonsense over the excess coverage payment. "
" All good except: I had Auto Europe Full Protection. However, Dollar (Herz) took a Euro 770 of my debit card to cover the excess-this was refunded when I returned the car undamaged. The problem is that this was actually taken out of my account and then refunded. In the past (ie Europcar)-no actual charges have been made but simply a potential payment made. In this with case Dollar (Herz) I incurred two sets of foreign exchange admin charges of £20, one when the Euro Excess Cover Charge was converted to pounds and then back again into Euros. There are ways to do this without costing me £40. Unclear to me. "

" We have no issues at all with the actual car itself. However, the staff at the rental desk were insistent that we did not have full insurance cover included and we were advised that an additional amount of Euro 93.52 was required to ensure we had full cover (Super Cover). We felt obliged to take this additional cover despite us believing we had already paid for this with yourselves. It was made clear that none payment of this additional charge would have been at our own risk and expense should an accident or damage occur. We'd like to hear from you to clarify the insurance position as we feel this additional cost was unnecessary and at a high premium for what amounted to 2 days car hire. "

" Autoeurope mislead me overcharged me and were a complete contrast to Dollar. I ended up paying twice for a car that I could have just got far cheaper if I had dealt with Dollar directly. The customer service advisor contradicted himself when I called to complain and ask for a refund. No refund given just patronised by the adviser. You were fully aware of certain aspects of problems I could encounter and failed to make me aware resulting in being charged twice. Very negative experience overall on the first time I have ever rented a car. I will not use you again and will be leaving negative tripadvisor comments.

The dollar van flew by this area twice. On the third time around I stopped the van and was given directions. The pick up was actually in the bus station about 300 metres from where your directions ended. There was not an easy route to this without actually walking on the road.

The other car offered to me did not have a spare wheel, only a foam to inflate the tyre if a puncture occured.

" Dollar were not available at pick up. Hertz/Thrifty processed the collection and refused to accept my credit card details insisting that I make alternative payment by debit card or cash £95 to avoid excess and liability. As I had already paid this online at time of my booking this was a complete rip off. Hertz staff upgraded the car without asking as they seemed to recognise my predicament. On return, Dollar again had no one available and Hertz staff sent me dashing across the airport to collect a bus which was not necessary as I eventually found the Hertz officer who could process the return.

" Generally ok. It was difficult to see the Dollar sign at Malaga airport as it was part of the Herts desk and quite small. Drop off at Seville airport added some further anxiety as it wasn't ovious where to hand the keys in. There was onyl a small sign way above eye level that told us to go into the terminal. Because the desk was in the terminal rather than at the drop off point there was no-one to inspect the car - which is always worrying. In the event no extra charges ahve materialised so I guess it was ok. "

" Have used Dollar many times in USA and have not had any problems but would think twice for Europe as it was very much a feeling of "if you aren't taking the excess then you're getting a rubbish car". Disappointed. "
" When said we wouldn't require excess policy, the car we were told we were getting (she had the key in her hand) was suddenly unavailable and we were given an old car with plenty of dents and a very high mileage and then about 20 minutes into our journey a tyre alarm showed which would not clear although the tyres looked ok. On arriving at our villa, telephoned and was told to take the car to Murcia city for exchange. The rep this time was very helpful and exchanged the car. "

" Oil warning light came on within a few days of hiring the car. Telephoned the helpline who stated if I was to purchase the oil myself I would be reimbursed when I dropped the car off at the airport. On dropping the car off at Hertz I was met with am extremely unhelpful female member of staff who also very rude. No note had been placed on my file as the initial help desk had stated would - the female at the drop off point even suggested I pay for the oil myself. After some argument and huffing and puffing from the female she then agreed to refund the amount. I then had to queue at the Hertz helpdesk inside the airport for a further 20 minutes to obtain the refund. Obviously the cars are not serviced regularly and potential customers should be aware of the challenge ahead. Poor poor poor. "

" The Auto Europe bit was fine. You need to stress the issue with your additional insurance policy that you take out in the UK and how not to get pressured into taking additional insurance. You also need to highlight the fact that whilst you might book through AE and the car is via Dollar, the staff on the desk work across multiple providers and you might actually be given Hertz paperwork as we were. Totally confusing for customers, and possibly something that they rely on whilst informing you that your insurance through AE is not with them... and pushing additional unnecessary insurance on you. "
" The staff on the counter desk asked for additional payments for insurance and claimed that the cover that we too out with Auto Europe wasn't anything to do with them and implied that we needed additional insurance. My friends also booked the same car through the same company and they did the same to him (we stood next to each other at the same desk picking up our cars). My friend was offered another car at £120 extra payment and the staff suggested it was a better fuel efficiency. When he rejected it, he was offered the waived fee for the insurance if he paid the extra £120.... which he rejected. The Spanish staff really came across quite pushy. It was only due to the fact that my friend and I were there at the same time that they backed off. Would question their integrity if the payments were negotiable and unnecessary! Car was damaged (lightly) more than was declared on the paperwork so further fuelling suspicions that the staff operated in a questionable manner. "

" Overall the car and price were good value. The collection and drop off experience was a disaster though. "
" Poor arrival experience with collection van at airport unmarked, pick up area outside airport terminal unsigned and a driver who watched us wandering around with our luggage and who only responded when I asked where the Dollar pick up van was? Car collection was in a nice office with uncoordinated line - I had a bad experience personally on the return of my vehicle in the car park with a very rude male Dollar employee who was extremely blunt towards me. I was subsequently assisted by another male employee who screened and received the car. Inside the uncoordinated line of people waiting OMG to collect cars and those such as I who were returning cars were kept in the same line and it took almost 20 minutes to hand over an empty envelope with an "ok" comment to the lady assistant - very frustrating!

" In April 2018 I booked the hire of a 9 seater vehicle online with Hertz, paying £531.30. This included basic insurance which I had decided was adequate for the purpose. On Tuesday 17th July at approximately 6pm we landed at Barcelona airport and went to collect the vehicle. The Hertz representative took my details and driving licence etc and in broken English said "insurance" to which I replied "Yes thanks, got it". He then completed some paperwork producing a card for me to sign, there was no explanation or dialogue at this point and I believed I was signing for the vehicle. There was no summary total and I have attached a copy of the document, which whilst in Spanish (which I am not fluent in) is also extremely diffciult to read. The representative then informed me the vehicle was on its way from terminal 1 and would be 15 minutes ...maximum. 45 minutes later I had to go back to the Hertz desk and enquire where the vehicle was as no-one at the kiosk desk could tell me....to be told it was in the parking lot somewhere. I went back to the kiosk desk and was told the vehicle was in lot 46, about 300m away. My family had been waiting outside the kiosk desk the entire time, yet no one informed us that the vehicle had arrived, or indeed where it was in the carpark. I was astounded, not only that I had to go and collect it when I had watched other customers either being taken to their vehicle or have it delivered to them, but that there was no explanation of the vehicle controls, no checks for any prior damage; I was just given the key and left to it. Having completed my own checks I discovered that there was a light on the dashboard indicating that the 'Add-blue' required topping up. I informed one of the drivers at the kiosk desk who promptly scratched his head as he had no idea what this was, yet was still able to tell me it would be OK and he couldn't do anything about it. My own experience with Add-blue has led me to believe that the vehicle simply will not start if it does not get topped up. Facing a 4 hr drive to get to our destination and having waited over an hour to collect the vehicle, with no help what so ever from any Hertz staff I made sure I had recovery / breakdown details and set off. On Thursday 19th, the vehicle was on a 1000km countdown to stopping due to lack of the Add-blue and I had to contact the recovery agent (who I was on the phone to for over half an hour) hoping they would put the relatively simple matter right. They in fact informed me that I had to take time out of my holiday to source some Add-blue, spending money out of my own pocket to replenish the Add-blue ! On Tuesday 24th July we arrived back at Barcelona where the vehicle was checked for damage (none – though I wonder what this would have been compared to as this check was lacking on collection of the vehicle) and I went to the Hertz desk for my 14.99 euros refund that I had spent on Add-blue. It was here that the unprofessionalism of this organisation really showed, I got the refund on a card that also said I owed 420.12 euros, a card that is ridiculously overprinted and virtually unreadable, I can accept it is written in Spanish, although why a global company like Hertz can't print readable document in English to assist customers is not for me say. This card should have at the very least been explained and itemised at the point of collecting the vehicle, when I questioned this the representative said it was for 'super insurance'. Confused and by now a little annoyed I asked why was it there, I was told that I asked for it when I collected the vehicle. This is categorically not true, I am now of the opinion that the representative saying "insurance" when I collected the vehicle has added it to my account. I hired the vehicle with the required insurance and certainly did not want anymore. The signature he showed me is now explained as I believe he wanted to somehow cover his actions. The representatives actions were at the very least dubious; I'd go as far to say fraudulent and dishonest; I cant even say he mis-sold because he didn't explain anything, he said "insurance"....which I had, that should not and cannot be taken as wanting extra insurance, if he had explained the cover that he was adding I would clearly have stopped him there and then.

" Please see comments in section 3. I was generally happy with auto-Europe (easy to obtain quotes, easy to book, clear voucher which helped me understand my rights regarding this issue quickly)) but concerned about the bahvious of the company that you provided for us. I suggest that you check whether this practice of trying to gain revenue this way is a typical experience. I would imagine many individuals may simply have paid the money asked, conscious that they had a flight to catch. "
" Car was 88 days overdue a service which I raised with counter staff but they were happy for the car to be released. Car also had multiple instances of marks etc on the bodywork, but was otherwise fine. Biggest issue was at drop-off. Counter staff "found" an apparently new mark on the door mirror which they tried to charge me 130 euros for. Given the limited time we used the car I am completely clear that this was not caused by us but appeared to be an attempt to increase their revenue. Also, when I pointed out that our car rental had CDW insurance with zero excess their response was that we had to pay the 130 euros and reclaim the money paid from auto-Europe insurance. Only after I pointed out that the zero excess was part of the rental agreement with dollar did they check their records of our rental agreement and eventually agree with me. I now don't trust dollar and will be checking my credit card statement to ensure they haven't charged me in any case ! "

" Always happy to book through Auto Europe, reliably good value and always easy to get in touch if needed. "
" Discrepancy between extra driver charge on voucher and that charged! Tank showed full on collection but after 80km was down well below 3/4. Could not have been properly full by quite a lot! "

" The service and the vehicle were what we would have expected - no better and no worse. The price was slightly higher than others but that was to be expected from a larger more reliable brand "

" No help in getting my phone back. Would not use or recommend this company. "
" I left my phone in the car after drop off. I have rang numerous times to you. You put me threw to the shop but no one answers. Gone round in circles. Really bad customer care. I contacted you 1 hour after I dropped the car off. "

" As explained above, it was bad. Overall, I am a regular user of autoeurope. It was probably the worst experience in last 5 years (and probably 20+ rentals). "
" Dollar rents via Hertz at BCN. Suprisingly, (given that it is Hertz), the car was not in a great condition (very smelly salon, lots of scratches, over 50k kms). Because of some damage unmarked and busy Hertz staff check in took long. The smell inside was really bad. Smelled like faeces. Perhaps previous users spilled a diaper and it was not cleaned properly.

" I rarely give feed back but I am so happy with dollar I wanted to let you know. Very fair company. Even when I forgot my fuel receipt they looked at the Guage and accepted my apologises. Professional firm. "
" Very good. No hard insurance sell just good information. I will always use dollar in the future. I will never use Gold Car had one bad experience with them. "

" Jorge was great "
" I use you quite frequently and I am always happy with the service provided as I am on this occasion save in one respect. My flight times were changed slightly before departure. I phoned you to check whether my booking needed amendment. The call was short. However the cost of the call was out of all proportion to its length. Cannot you use a cheaper number? "
" disgraceful. had to delay my flight by one day because of a bereavement. Was told i would need to cancel my booking and make new one that was 3 times the price but for one day less. i had someone go to the Dollar counter in Spain who said my original booking was fine. "
" Car was not prepared correctly. En route to hotel the oil warning light came on and we discovered that the oil was at a dangerous level. Contacted emergency phone number who were not interested as the car hadn't broken down. Had to buy 5 litres of oil from garage for 30euros. On return to airport reported incident and showed receipt for oil. The computers weren't working so the clerk couldn't do anything about it. Awaiting reimbursment! "
" See above comments! "
" I rented car at a rate of £108.39 but I still do not know what the euro charge rate is to me. "
" Very satisfied with car however I topped up the tank twice yet the fuel gauge registered only 75% full. I was told when returning the car that this is an issue with the Citroen Picasso even though this was a new car with only 17km on clock. This was a concern to us when returning car as we thought there would be an issue with refuelling charge. This was handled well by the agent on duty however and the issue was noted on our receipt. "
" Good service and the best prices "
" One of the better hire companies that I've dealt with "
" You pick up keys from the Hertz desk. There is no sign for Dollar. The car I got was better than I paid for, although I booked a mini mpv for the boot space and ended up with a saloon (luckily with a huge boot). When returning the car, the Hertz man said the tank wasn't quite full so I had a nervous 10min drive to the petrol station while my wife and baby waited in the car park to put in 4 euros diesel. An option for them to fill up and charge me would have been helpful. "
" Excellent service from a Brit based in the US!! Satisfied I Got the best rate. "
" Good service on collection and return. Got the car I had booked(and wanted!). Spotlessly clean. "
" Would certainly use again "
" Lovely car - hassle free handover and return - thank you "
" to stay competitive "
" no problems the staff @ the Hertz desk where very polite and helpful "
" Longish wait to pick up car - big queue at Hertz desk. Faulty oil warning light on car. Further delay when returning vehicle by having to go back to desk in airport to have final rental invoice checked. "
" Good customer service, knowledgable staff. Will always be my first call for car rental, any where in the world. Well done and thankyou. "
" Excellent, nice low mileage vehicle. No line for collecting my documents. Return procedure excellent. Cannot fault Dollar/Hertz. Will use again. DE. "
" Staff were great, but car hadn't been cleaned properly inside or out (wheel arches caked in thick mud) and steering / tracking was way out (this should surely have been checked as steering wheel wasn't straight when the wheels were centred) "
" Easy, once we found the correct desk! "
" As above! "
" All fine, nice and easy to choose a "return full" option as well. "
" The Dollar service was delivered by Hertz. They were excellent and confirmed I would be charged a full tank + a service cost if the tank was left a little short of full, so I found a petrol station to top up to the brim. They also checked the car upon retun and confirmed all was in order and there would be no extra charges. This is much better than many places that do not check and you have to worry for ages if they will "find" a scratch. So very happy. "
" In terms of travel to countries other than the country of rental, I would prefer it if this option could be included during the initial search as opposed to at the booking stage. "
" Very professional, quick and courteous service. "
" I do like the option to change my rental and take advantage of currency changes and special offers "
" The service is offered by hertz on behalf of dollar, hertz service is normally very good "
" A very smooth trouble-free experience. "
" Excellent staff & service. "
" very satified with service delivered "
" under the Hertz control, service was good, a bit fussy with checking car for small damage which was turned out to be dirt that wiped away "
" Excellent service.Very efficient-no queues, everything explained well. Polite staff "
" Excellent value for money, only £85.00 for a week "
