Car hire reviews in Malaga
One of the largest cities in southern Spain, Malaga is a major tourist hub and prime gateway to the sun-soaked region of Andalusia. There's much to see and do in Malaga besides bathing in the warm Mediterranean waters and relaxing on its long, sandy beaches. Built in the 16th century, Malaga Cathedral designed by Pedro de Mena is a landmark building overlooking the Old Town. Another highlight for visitors is the Picasso Museum featuring a sizable collection of works by the city's most famous son. If you have the energy, take a walk up to the Alcazaba to enjoy the views from the walls of the magnificent Moorish castle.

" The primary comments are obviously given above. We were thankful the car kept going so that we could return it as we were concerned it might stop altogether. "
" Unfortunately late on the 2nd day of our holiday the car, a Peugeot 208 developed a problem. The in car touch screen display stopped working which meant that we had no information, reversing screen, navigation link, etc. I phoned the given number which didn't work. We were still able to drive the car but there appeared to be a problem with the battery. We therefore returned the vehicle asap on Monday morning and, after the car was inspected, we were given a replacement car which is what we expected. We had filled the car up with fuel even though some of that was the cost of returning the car and we lost most of a day of our holiday to bring it back and sort out the problem. I realise it wasn't Hertz fault that the car had a problem but we received no apology and seemed to be an unwelcome additional stress for the team there that day. I do feel that in the circumstances - 1. loss of most of a days holiday and 2. cost of fuel incurred. We feel that some sort of compensation is due under these circumstances. We assume that the local office in Malaga have notified Hertz of the problem but as yet we have heard nothing from them. I would be grateful if Auto Europe could look into this and let us know what is usual in these circumstances? "

With no garages open to put a new tyre on the car, the car was recovered and a taxi organised an hour of the call to the recovery line, we were in Malaga within two hours of our original expected arrival time.

" Overall, straightforward and good value (though the car we got was larger than we needed). It would be very helpful if the collision damage waiver insurance etc could all be included in the booking process rather than at the car hire desk. "
" Efficient, friendly and helpful. The car was presented as "undamaged" but there were two extremely minor scrapes to the bodywork. I photographed these and this was accepted when I returned the car. The Avis app didn't work very well and necessitated a repeat to complete the process. "

" I would never use OK Mobility again. However I feel very let down by AutoEurope. I chose Auto Europe on the grounds of its good reputation and good prior experience. However when booking through you I ended up with a car provided by a firm I did not know about. And OK Mobility seem to have a reasonable reputation in general even though the Malaga Branch - I subsequently discovered - has a rather poor record. I expect you, as my agent, too exercise proper scrutiny over the ability of your subcontractors to deliver your expected standard of service "
" We had a terrible experience with OK Mobility. We arrived at Malaga Airport and had to queue for 2.5 hours before we got our car. The local staff were extremely slow in processing customers. They has not ensured that the cars peopled ordered online were available - and they struggled to find cars for us. As a result we arrived very late at our destination and in effect lost the first day of our holiday. I was planning to write and complain. I hope you can take this up as an official complaint "

" The booking was all fine, but you booked us with goldcar which I've detailed above is the worst company of all time, so please stop booking them, they are total scam artists, rude and aggressive. "
" Fraudulent scam artists who were aggressive and extremely rude at collection. Very forceful trying to make us buy their expensive insurance we didn't need. Initially refused to take our credit card as it wasn't embossed, when I produced a seperate embossed card they repeatedly didn't put it through their machine properly on purpose and then pretended it was our problem and we'd have to buy their insurance instead. In the end we did a cash deposit of 1700euros on debit card which they grudgingly accepted, but only after 30mins of unbelievablely heated and aggressive arguement from them and they were exceptionally pissed off and rude about it. I would say it was the worst hire car experience I've had in 20+ years of hiring cars. They are an utter scam, criminal fraud. "

" Extremely angry and disappointed "
" When i made the booking i opted for the full waiver insurance, with no excess and an 800 euro hold on my credit card. I paid £180 for the 7 day hire. When i picked up the car i was informed at the Europcar desk that the insurance option id chosen ( there were only 2 options ) still came with a 4000 euro excess if any damage was caused and if i wanted to upgrade to full no liability insurance id need to pay a further £326 pounds on top of the £180 id already paid . So stood there with my entire family, tired after a very long day travelling i basically had no choice but to pay this extra. This is nothing short of extortion and a disgusting practice, ripping people off. I expected more from a well known company. Ive previously used Spanish companies for car hire without any issue at all with clear, transparent insurance policies. I will be contacting the ombudsman and sending a formal complaint to Keddy as well . Shameful behaviour "

When it was our turn went through all booking details and form filling in. All fine and polite but then the very hard sell for their insurance. We had bought our own but they were not happy with that and the mood changed. Abrupt, rude, impolite, aggressive. They even said we may have to down grade our car! Our nephew and family had booked a car at the sane time and were being dealt with next to us. They had taken the insurance and this had inturn held the value on his visa card so when he tried to use the card for the rest of booking at the desk it would go through. The staff became very rude aggressive and unhelpful. We offered to use our card as we were there getting our car aswell and all staying at the same villa but it was a flat no.

" Read section 3 above; I have now been waiting three weeks, with no updates, for AutoEurope to refund my money...!!!! "
" I was unable to rent the car I had booked. I arrived on time at the Goldcar Rental desk in Malaga Airport on Wednesday 16th July to pick up the prepaid vehicle. Everything went okay until I tried to pay the excess charge [€1100] for the rental with my credit card, a credit card I have used many times in the past with Goldcar in Malaga. Each time I put my credit card in their machine and I put my PIN in, which was accepted, the transaction failed. The Goldcar agent was very patient and understanding and reset their system several times to allow me to try again, which I did five times. In the end, we agreed that I would check the card with my bank [Halifax]. I called my bank and they confirmed my credit card was fine and hadn't been blocked, additionally they confirmed they could see the €1100 charge on my credit card statement and advised that I access my account on my mobile and show the Goldcar agent that the charge had in fact appeared my credit card statement, which is what I did with the bank representative on speaker with the Goldcar agent. The Goldcar agent said despite seeing my bank statement she still couldn't issue a rental contract because their system was showing the charge as failed. So after an hour I decided that I'd have to try another Rental Company even though I'd prepaid £208.88, via Auto Europe, for the rental. I walked to the next nearest rental company [Okmobility], whom I have used before. I explained the problem I had had with my credit card with Goldcar and said I needed to rent a car if not I was stranded in the airport for the night, and would have to fly back the next day if I could get a flight that is. The Okmobilty rental, although being a lot more expensive as it wasn't an online booking, went smoothly. My credit card worked fine and I signed their rental contract as normal. I stopped at a supermarket on the way to my house and again my credit card worked fine and it has continued to work fine. The issue clearly was not my credit card or my banks [Halifax]systems. The issue was Goldcars verification system. So can you advise on how I can get my prepaid money refunded please..? I have attached the Okmobility rental contract for information. Strangely, despite the fact that I was unable to pickup the car I'd paid for from Goldcar they still issued a contract via email for the car. A car I hadn't signed for, or paid for and didn't rent. I have now been waiting three weeks, with no updates, for AutoEurope to refund my money...!!!! "

Also, while I understand the booking is for a certain vehicle "or similar", I've never actually been given the vehicle advertised - always what I consider to be a lower quality vehicle from the same class. I wonder if some of these issues are related to the booking being done through a comparison site, with Goldcar deliberately offering a slightly lower standard of product compared to direct bookings.

She said we'd booked a car that was too small for our two cases. On my booking form it clearly said I'd booked an MG3 or equivalent but she said it was a Fiat 500. She then said incorrectly that it was a Fiat Panda I'd booked. After much 'discussion' it became clear that I had 2 options. I could abandon my booking and go elsewhere or I could accept that I had to have the big car that she insisted was the only one that would be suitable. Having decided to take the quicker option and take the bigger car I said I didn't need their full cover for insurance because I'd taken out a separate policy before leaving home. She said that if I didn't take out Europcar's extra protection she would need an excess deposit of 6400 Euros. It was an extremely stressful and annoying experience and I'll never book through Auto Europe or Europcar again. "

When I checked my bank statement I could see that I was only charged for the additional excess insurance that I opted to take out. It wasn't a bad experience but a few things could have been better "

" I paid a substantial amount to Auto Europe get what I perceived to be 'full insurance' cover but when I spoke with Thrifty, they told me that I was still liable for the 'excess' and they would need to take a 1000euro deposit. In order to cover this I had to pay an additional several hundred euros. In fact with my age penalty I paid an 'additional' sum of 480.12 euros. So, in all, I paid £320.71 to Auto Europe on 4th Feb'25 and £413.86 to Hertz via Thrifty on 18th April, making a grand total of £744.57 for a three-week car hire; this is extortionate. I visit Spain frequently and have rented cars on numerous occasions but never experienced this 'insurance dodge' before. Consequently, I am very disappointed with Auto Europe and will never use them again. "

" Using Auto Europe for finding a rental car for our three weeks stay at our holiday home near Malaga was very straight forward. They came up with a fairly good deal and there appeared to be no hidden extras that we were not aware of. Unfortunately, the deal we chose was with Thrifty, and our dealings with their staff at Malaga airport left a lot to be desired. We were however very happy with the Citroen C3 that proved a nippy and very easy car to drive. "
" I rented a Citroen C3 for three weeks in March from Malaga airport. I cannot really fault Thrifty's efficiency in dealing with my rental, however, the lady who served me was quite unpleasant when I said I already had Excess insurance cover. I was also under the impression that Thrifty's desk was in the arrivals hall, when in fact it was at the far end, downstairs in the depth of the car park. There was no seating available, which was a problem for my husband who is 87 years old and unable to stand for any length of time. She also had a very aggressive manner when I returned the vehicle, pointing out that there was a scratch above one of the windows that was not on the paperwork. It left me feeling quite upset, since we had taken great care of the car, which had been left on our private drive most of the time. Quite apart from anything else, I was unable to see any evidence of a scratch when I examined the car. As a result, I was anxiously searching my credit card statement when I returned home, but found to my relief that I was "only"charged 110.65 Euros extra, some of which was the maximum fee of 95.40 Euros for being over 70 years old (which I knew I would be charged for) I have no idea what the rest was for, an emailed invoice would have been nice. I do not think I will hire a car from Thrifty again, and should have read their reviews before going ahead with the rental! "

Was likely already there when I collected the car and equally unlikely they would repair it given the state of the car. Nevertheless they charged E120 for it.

" Excellent experience overall, particularly considering the very reasonable price. Was expecting a long queue on collection but there was none. Collecting keys was easy, although we were given the wrong bay for the car. Eventually found it by clicking the key and looking for the lights! Drop off was a little slow as only one person attending to everyone and they do a thorough check so it did take a while. Not enough to put me off using them again though... "

" I will continue to use Auto Europe but will be very wary when booking in Spain "
" I found renting a car in Spain more stressful than in other countries. There seems to be confusion about whether an International Driving Permit is required for UK drivers in Spain. AutoEurope warned that one maybe needed and when I tried to clarify the situation the Thrifty hire desk said yes, but you can't actually get an IDP for Spain in the UK because it is not on the list of countries needing one. When I got to pick up the car they never asked for an IDP a UK driving licence was all that they wanted, but worrying about if one would be required made the process unnecessarily stressful. The hire desk at Thrifty were very forceful in trying to sell their all inclusive insurance even though I said that I had a policy to cover excesses. They then pointed out that if the car broke down then it would cost be 450 Euros to call roadside assistance, it was though they were trying to frighten me into paying 80 Euros for additional cover which was more than the cost of the hire in the first place!

I totally get being a busy company, however collecting people from the airport was extremely busy so waiting for the shuttle bus took longer than it should of and then collecting the car from the pick up counter was so slow it totally ruined the experience for us. The same when dropping the car back, again really busy so we missed the first run and then have no idea when they are returning as they took atleast 30 mins minimum before they returned, so to make sure that my family and I weren't going to be late we ended up calling a cab from the drop off too the airport which took 3 minutes which included collecting our bags which I had a 6 bags, a buggie and a travel cot. So I have no idea why the shuttle bus took over 30 minutes to drop off 8 people at a time and then to come back. Honestly I will never use clickrent again and will never recommend them and I will push people away from using them as they obviously don't employ enough staff to deal with the amount of customers they have even though they know in advanced as you have to book the car plus they were getting walk ins so was such a terrible service and the staff wouldn't even give you a heads up on waiting time.

" My first experience using CENTAURO was mixed. The vehicle price was competitive compared to Niza Cars and other rental companies in Malaga. The airport transfer was fine, although better signage is needed to indicate where to stand, as many rental companies are located in the same area. However, when collecting the vehicle from CENTAURO, we had to wait 45 minutes, which felt like waiting at a hospital to see a doctor. What was most frustrating is their express collection service, which is available to customers who pay extra for faster service. They have around five desk staff, but it seemed like only three were working at any given time. If you arrive around midday, you might find only one or two staff members working, prioritizing those who paid for express collection. This was the biggest disappointment with CENTAURO. They could easily outperform other rental companies in Malaga if they had more staff working, especially during peak season, and streamlined the collection process. Fortunately, the drop-off was much smoother. "

" Whilst it is a bit of a hike from the airport the shuttle was fine. Beware the hard sell on insurance if you have already taken it out with Autoeurope. The fuel policy works well in that you buy the full tank and get a refund for any left over. Although the cost of the fuel is over the top it's more convent than trying to refuel before dropping the car back off. Also don't forget to inspect the vehicle thoroughly if not using their insurance. "

" I always use Auto Europe, it's simple to book, easy to see all the hire prices across all providers and available car classes. You can make as many changes to the car as you like when the price improves or cars become available. "
" Extremely slow pickup; approximately an hour wait even though there were only 3 people ahead of me. This was due to the persistent hard sell tactics on car upgrades and insurance, all costing hundreds of pounds more than the hire cost through Auto Europe. When refused staff claimed Auto Europe's cover wasn't worth the paper it was written on and I would be liable for thousands in excess. These fear tactics don't work on me but I can see how it would on others. The car itself had plenty of damage and I had to take photos of every panel to make sure I wasn't held responsible for it. It clearly has had a hard life even though it had done under 60k kms. Drop off was quick albeit impolite and I made sure I was there for the inspection to make sure I wasn't made liable for the existing damage. Not a great experience. "

" On picking up the car We felt pressed into taking out the extra excess insurance, which I did, was 140 Euros, to save any hassle at the drop off. This did include a "Free upgrade" This does seem standard practice across the industry and it would be helpful if this could be included in the price. The pick up information failed to tell us to phone the Niza office when we arrived so they could pick us up. We were waiting over an hour at the airport. I did phone you but although the person I spoke to was very polite and was keen to help, they even rang Me back, they did not give me the correct information. Which was to ring the Niza office on arrival. Niza then said because we were over 2 hours late they could have charged us more, they did not?? And they did not send a shuttle bus because they didn't know when we were arriving. I did think I'd provided the flight information to you when booking, it was not on their paperwork, I presume this was My mistake?? Everything else was fine, the car was good, probably bigger than we needed. "

" Documentation for our rental vehicle was incorrect. We noticed this when Hertz emailed us a condition report for the vehicle which was not the vehicle we were given. Our vehicle was a Peugeot 2008 and the documentation was for a Peugeot 5008. On return this 2was joined to the the staff at Malaga who said that they had corrected the error and closed out the contract with no further charges. Now back at home we received an invoice for fuel charges for the vehicle that was not ours. We have been shared for fuel for somebody else's rental. We filled our car to the brim prior to returning it. Needless to say we will be raising the issue with our credit card company as I suspect this is a deliberate ploy from Hertz and actually fraud. "

" The process of collecting the car was very slow. I queued for about 45 minutes before being seen. I decided not to take the optional insurances as the initial documentation suggested the rental included collision damage and theft with liability limited to 1000 euros. The operative, Victoria, seemed surprised at my decision. She handed me the Vehicle Condition Report which showed absolutely no damage to the car. However, she very strongly recommended that I take photos of any damage/scratches in excess of 1cm to cover myself. When I got to the car it was parked closely to other cars on each side and the light was very poor. The car was covered in scratches and I took about 5 photos of the ones I could see but I'm sure there were some I missed. I emailed them to Firefly later that day ( I'm now thinking that was a mistake). When I returned the car, the lady came to inspect the car and went straight to the driver side wing mirror (which I hadn't photographed) and announced there was a 200 euro scratch! It seemed odd that she seemed to know exactly where I hadn't photographed!! She barely looked at the rest of the car, which as I mentioned earlier, was covered in scratches. I'm a very careful driver with over 45 years experience and never had an accident. I looked after the rental car as if it were my own, including turning the wing mirrors in every time I parked the car. I'm not happy! "

" Unlike my experience with Niza I gano axe to grind with AE - I've used you a few times in the past and never had an issue. But I do think you need to look at your continuing to do business with Niza as it can only reflect poorly on yourselves "
" On arrival undue pressure exerted in an attempt for me to take out their excess cover. What if you have a breakdown- you'll have to pay recovery fees. You are hiring car for an extended period anything could happen. I had already explained I have an annual excess cover policy which covers everything- I know because I checked before leaving UK. At the same time I could hear conversation taking place at next table where client was being told he'd have to pay for turning up late - 5 hours = €500 This was picking car up not dropping off late. Returning to my experience with Niza - I'd read contract and saw that excess would be charged as hire exceeded 8 days. I also knew I'd be charged for a full tank as it was full to full. My issue there is that tank was shown as 4/8 on contract and when looking lady noticed less than that so said just bring back below 4/8.. Nothing in writing. All very well if she is there and remembers 30 days later. I was debited a €150 for petrol. Having nearly filled from empty know it would cost about €80 to fill. The car itself had been through the mill and had numerous scratches on bodywork and alloys. Don't know how you could tell what was existing and what might be new. On return of vehicle the advisor was not interested in inspecting vehicle. I asked when will I get excess payment back - and I quote - depends on the exchange rate. I've now been back 3 days and heard nothing via a vis car condition or money return. I've been hiring cars abroad for best part of 25 years and this is without doubt my worst experience- it's the uncertainty following return of vehicle not being checked. As far as I'm aware no additional damage to that already known. On previous hires where car inspected- excess return is processed immediately. Email sent saying all ok - that's another thing my friend pick up a car from them a few hours earlier and he received email confirmation of vehicle contract / condition - I was given a paper copy. Inconsistency of approach. Incidentally the €1950 charge hit my account within 48 hours. Think that says it all. "

" I am satisfied by the service provided by Autoeurope. However, as already stated, I would strongly urge Autoeurope to reconsider their business association with NIZA. Exposing your clients to such a company is likely to reflect on your own business. "
" Dreadful company. Seemed more interested in the excessive hard selling of their insurance, even when told I wasn't interested and had my own cover they continued to try the scaremongering hard selling of their own insurance.. The full-to-full fuel policy was not adhered to, only 4/10 in the tank, which inevitably means one is likely to return the car with more fuel rather than run the risk of penalty charges. When returning the car, no one wanted to check the condition of the car and they only took the keys. They took the 1200 euro deposit plus 100 euros fuel charge IMMEDIATELY from my credit instead of posting as a pending transaction, consequently I had a £33 currency conversion charge to pay to my credit card company. I will have the same when my deposit and fuel charge are finally refunded therefore costing me a total of £66 in currency conversion charges where they should have only been pending charges. It is now 4 days since the car was returned. There were no new dents or scratches and more fuel in the tank than when got it, BUT my refund has still NOT been credited to my credit card. If they can take the deposit immediately, then they should be able to make the refund immediately. I would strongly urge Autoeurope to reconsider how they do business with such a company because I will certainly NEVER use NIZA again. "

The staff member said he could discount it to €100, so I said I'd take it, then on the invoice it had 20% tax on top making it the original €120.

" Took a while queuing before served but very polite and experienced member of staff helped me. The car was practically brand new and in good condition inside and out. However, there is something seriously wrong with the car. It felt incredibly dangerous to drive. The hybrid gauge kept cutting in, making a terrible noise, and it kept accelerating even when foot was taken off the pedal. I had to use the brake constantly. It also felt like it was trying to control the steering. Gear transition also dreadful. Overall, a horrible driving experience. "

" 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 hired the car from Malaga airport for 1 week and spend most of the time in Tarifa, down South of Spain. It is a windy and dusty part of Spain so the car was covered in dust/sand when I returned it. Firefly decided to charge me £125 (including taxes) for in-depth car wash. This was my 7th trip to Tarifa and I rented from Firefly on 7 occasions always returning the car in a similar condition. I picked all the bottles/rubbish from the inside as well, simple hover would do the job to clean it out. I found it absurd the car needed an additional cleaning. I do not recommend this car hire company to anyone. Sorry, you have lost your loyal customer. "

" Five very satisfactory rentals with Firefly at Alicante airport had obviously lulled me into a false sense of security. My experience with Firefly at Malaga airport, however, was far from satisfactory. I booked a car for 28 days with Firefly Malaga via Auto Europe. After handing over my voucher at the Firefly desk I was asked to sign my rental agreement in several different places by the polite and seemingly very helpful member of staff. To be fair I didn't read the small print of the agreement in detail as I was focusing on where I needed to put my signature and I failed to notice the charge for "SCDWK". At no point did the member of staff explain that the agreement included insurance (which I didn't need). In fact he made no attempt to explain the agreement and insurance was not mentioned at all. It was not until I looked at my credit card transactions the day after returning the car that I realised I had been charged about £260 for the unwanted insurance. "

" I have always been very happy with AutoEurope and mainly satisfied with NIZA. However, after many satisfactory rentals with NIZA, in recent years, when I returned the car this time, they pointed out a tiny (1mm or less) chip on the windscreen. I think it was unlikely to be caused when I drove it (around 80kms only). But they are charging me €200 for this damage. I am not happy about this and have appealed to NIZA, on the basis that I am a loyal and very regular customer. If they still charge me, I would be unlikely to ever use NIZA again. I would not mind, of course, paying for damage that I caused or even that another driver or passerby caused. But a tiny chip is surely "wear and tear". Next they will charge for tyres being slightly more worn that they were at pickup time. "

I said that I had paid £144.86 to Auto Europe, she replied that she didn't care about that, the £144.86 was nothing to do with her she wanted €147, she even wrote it on the back of my paperwork. We were by this time getting rather frustrated and upset, so I called Auto Europe and had a very nice gentleman who explained that we did not need to pay this, however, the woman insisted we did, refused to speak to the gentleman from Auto Europe, and just argued - then all of a sudden she said that she had not asked us to pay the €147 and had just been explaining! - Explaining what? This put a dampener on the whole of our holiday, she was so rude, threatening to take all our deposit if there was a scratch on the car, I was so nervous about driving the damn thing, I drive 10-20 year old cars in the UK, but this thing was so modern that I hadn't a clue how to even start it.

I have previously always picked zero excess which should mean just that but now does not - I noticed the Spanish men picking up their hire car were not pressured as I was (a woman) it was hard not to take the cover as they were going to block I think 1200 euros on my credit card. And it seems I didn't have full cover even though I paid for this with autos Europe. Then given a hybrid petrol and electric car. It was late nearing 11pm - had no help at all with the dashboard which I was not familiar with. Everything in Spanish - surely this could be changed by Niza for a loyal customer who comes year after year for over 40 years. The fuel - this must not have been checked - take full and return full? That's a joke. I didn't use the car this time as our resort was walking distance to everything so only used for getting from and to airport. It's no more than 30/40 miles to elviria and back to airport - had to put 32 euros fuel to fill? On a hybrid car? It cannot have been anywhere near full on pick up. So it cost over 300 euros for the car for a week - niza have gone from strength to strength with the latest cars etc but this is at the expense of customer service and satisfaction. Sadly I'll be trying another provider next time. I said I had my own extra policy cover (which I shouldn't need as this was zero excess but it was a hard sell until I gave in as I was tired wanted to get to bed and just wanted to get out of there and start my holiday.

Vehicle was in good condition, however did not have a full tank of fuel. I returned it with ~100km more fuel than when it had when picked up.

On top of this, they forced me to pay an further 148.00 EURO for the fuel. So a total extra of 465 EURO had to be paid (including taxes) for all of the above!!!

It turns out it's a short walk past the building - not a problem, but there were no signs directing us to the shuttle bus stop. Quite a few passengers were wandering around aimlessly looking for the shuttle bus. Secondly, on arrival at the NIZA garage were subjected to the usual pushy sales of the additional insurance. We had insurance with Autoeurope. We even had paperwork from them saying "you do not need to buy additional cover at the car pick up". But the man at NIZA still insisted that we would be in big trouble if we had an accident. He said that in order to claim from our insurance we'd need a police number, and that the police wouldn't give us a number as they never do apparently. He pushed and pushed but we held firm and didn't pay extra. He then rolled his eyes and basically implied that we'd regret it. I'm sick of this happening every single time I hire a car. If I ever find a company who don't do this, I will stick with them for ever. Clearly that will not be auto Europe. "

The Agent at the Goldcar rental desk suggested that I should go to the adjacent provider's desk and they happily rented me a car for the duration of my holiday with the documentation I had.

That was something new to me. But I couldn't have rung anyway plus it takes 10-20 minutes to get from airport to niza - they didn't give me a paper with any marks on the vehicle already for me to acknowledge so they could have said any previous renter damage was down to me - also they blocked about 1200 euros from my card even though I had booked full excess through you. You would think that niza would want to at least acknowledge and look after long standing loyal customers but no.

" We were obviously attracted by the low initial cost and fully expected add-ons to be implemented on collection of the car. What we got was additional mileage with no evidence provided and a charge made for damages with no use of the CDW that was part of the hire. It is our view GoldCar has acted in very bad faith, with extremely poor business practise. We will never use this company again and will advise all friends and colleagues to avoid you. "
" The voucher says "limited kilometres per day" but on collection we were told it would be 120km per day unless we bought your extra insurance. On booking, your website quotes the extra insurance at around £10 per day but your representative at the collection desk quoted us almost £17 per day. The voucher says the rental includes collision damage waiver "with an excess". It does NOT exclude damage to the bodywork. We allegedly returned the car with a scrape on the front bumper and have been charged a full 100 Euros, with absolutely nothing paid by the CDW. Unless your "with an excess" is in fact a 100% excess, this is a complete rip-off. We were also charged for more than 200km of additional mileage but you do NOT provide mileage of the car at collection or mileage of the car on return. This is wholly unacceptable and leaves us feeling ripped off for a second time. "

I am not sure if I can afford to trust Sixt in future when I am at risk for in the region of 1,000 euros plus in respect of the insurance excess.

The receiving member of staff also commented to a colleague in Spanish after reading the system notes (not knowing that my passenger was Spanish) that "I'm going to have trouble with this one".

Although the counter staff told me I would be covered if I took a picture of any damage, I decided to query it immediately as it seemed too big an issue to be dealt with later. I'm glad I did because the damage had not previously been recorded in their system meaning I would be blamed for it later. AVIS had to take new pictures and record the damage before we could leave.

" Auto Europe may have other relationships with other vendors besides Niza, so I can't really say. "
" They advertise a cheap price, but then to get your car they try to upsell you insurance. If you don't do insurance they block EUR 1,500 on your credit card for up to a month. Also, they are insane about damage to the car. I am a responsible person, so I would do everything I can to protect the vehicle but they are crazy. They told me if there is even the tiniest scratch they automatically will take a minimum of EUR 300. Are you kidding me!? If it buffs out or only costs EUR 25 to fix, why charge me EUR 300? (They obviously told me this while trying to up sell me the insurance). I thought they were joking but when I checked out the car they indicated there were already two damaged areas and showed me on a diagram on my contract where the damage was. When I went to the car to look, I couldn't find the damage. I had to call the employee over and he pointed out the tiniest of scratches. I asked him if he charged EUR 300 to the person that returned the car with those scratches and he said he did. They were tiny door dings! They buff out! Can't believe it. Charge the appropriate rate. Don't advertise a cheap price only to turn around and try to get customers to buy an insurance package out of fear. It's bad business. Defiantly will not be using Niaz ever again and will advise friends to avoid. "

" I chose Avis expecting a good quality of service, all be it there were many cheaper providers. Unfortunatelly, I regreted my decision: the girl at a counter was very slow and seemingly unwilling to speed up the process until I bought extra insurance. This was completely unnecessary as I have a UK year-round insurance. However, I reluctantly agree to a €42 (€6 p/d) supplement to bring down the excess to €100. When returning the car and settling the bill, this has become €58 - the drop off girls stated it was the airport tax and nothing to do with Avis - I felt conned and cheated!! I asked the counter girl for a small size car ( booked Ibiza size cat) due to parking restrictions but she stated the only car available was Citroen Ellysse. I accepted this not knowing what size this car was. When in the parking garage, I realised that this car was too big and the staff there changed this to Opel Corsa. Although this was upon my request. I felt that I received the smallest category of car and paid the excess of €58, which should have been €42. Will NOT be booking Avis in Malaga again. Please forward my feedback to the team in Malaga.

" After long plane journeys one does not usually relish the idea of waiting for the shuttle and then queuing at the desk. The shuttle did take a while but there was only a queue of 2 at the desk. The girl was very chatty and helpful. She was annoyed to see the boot was still full of rubbish so she took the car to maintenance to be cleaned. There were a few dents in the car but the Opel soft top is a super car for our purposes. "

Anyone looking at the small mark would have known it had been there for a while. When in Malaga I drove down a lane by accident that had restrictions. I accept full responsibility for my mistake, but Click Rent charged me an 'admin fee' of 50 euros just to inform me of my error. They claimed this money without my permission. This didn't cover the fine, just the courtesy of them letting me know the fine was coming.

" 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. "

" We rented from Malaga airport and was shocked to see that it was owned by Goldcar as i have had problems with them last year accusing me of breaking a rubber piece that holds up the luggage rack... costs £3 but they took €100 . I had purposely started clear of them so you can imagine I was very hesitant finding this out. We waited for at least 45 mins in a queue as there were only 2 staff working. Eventually we got the paperwork but were sent to the wrong lifts and got lost as the signage in the airport is very poor. We got the key and took a video of it... Inside and out. On returning it, we had to drop the keys in a hole in the wall outside the office. I was wary of this as no-one came to check the condition of the car but am pleasantly surprised that there is no extra charge been added. As that is the case, I am pleased with the cost. "

" I arrived 15 minutes before pick-up time and took a ticket. There were about 6 people before me. The queing system appeared irrelevant with numerous people attended to without tickets who arrived after but obviously Spanish. I had to wait for over 1 hour before being attended to . There was significant pressure to upgrade the vehicle and take out extra insurance which exceeded the rental charge . On return I was charged for damage which was not visibly apparent at pick- up, a very small scuff mark on the underside of the bumper. Whilst this damage which I was unaware of, may well have happened whilst parking or crossing a speed bump. Being presented with a € 50 charge for the subsequent return inspection as well as €382 for the small scrape seems excessive. I have subsequently been double charged for the €50 for the contentious inspection fee. I will contest this with my credit card company. "

" We were uplifted pretty quickly from outside the terminal. It is a bit chaotic as all the off terminal companies pick up in the same area. The rental office is nearby and we were attended to right away. No hard sell to buy their insurance package and we had our own insurance bought in the U.K. anyway. It is pretty straightforward leaving the rental office to get onto the main road out of Malaga from this location. My only issue is that Wiber provided photos of existing damage by email when we picked up the car. When we returned the car it was suggested that we had caused some damage to the front of the car which wasn't included in these pictures. Thankfully we had taken lots of pictures when we picked up the car and had one of the damage concerned which sufficed them. We were caught out with another company last year and ended up being charged for damages we weren't responsible for so were much more cautious this year. Would advise anyone hiring a car in Spain to take pictures of any existing damage to car including the underside front and back. I would certainly use Wiber again based on this recent experience as it was much more straightforward than previous companies we've used. There is also a BP petrol station right beside them so makes returning the car full much easier. "

On dropping off the vehicle, the person who inspected the vehicle said there was a scratch (about 8 inches) on the o/s front wing above wheel. This was after she inspected it by touch to be sure. She insisted I would need to pay for the damage. I then inspected the mark by touch and immediately realised it was above the paint surface and was not a scratch. I had to demonstrate that it comes off if you wet your finger and rub it. I questioned her ability to properly inspect the vehicle for damage. I also pointed out that some people would have taken her word for it and just accepted a repair bill. Had I been in a hurry to catch my flight I would have had time to check myself and this would have caused undue stress. Based on my experience I will not be renting with Record in the future. "

" RECORDGO - I have used them a few times now from malaga as per the principle 'better to go with the devil you know'. This particular experience was similar to others - they do try and sell you extras at counter overselling the idea that terrible things can happen if you don't take their own excess insurance rather than be content with my own standalone excess insurance policy. The car condition was obviously not per the damage report with huge scratches and dents not recorded correctly and so I had to waste more time finding a rep who could record the additional damage. Marie was the rep at who said when it was pointed out that someone at RecordGo had done a very poor job of recording the original damage: 'well, if you take out our insurance you should not need to worry about any damage as you are covered' - perhaps she did not understand how ridiculous this sounded or perhaps she was repeating the company line that their job is to sell extra add ons no matter what the cost to the customer. Either way, why should a customer have to pay extra for their insurance just to be covered for RecordGo's own inadequacies in recording down correctly the damage. It would not be the first time that RecordGo have subsequently at drop off claimed there has been additional damage and billed this customer! I then have to go and wait at their office to get a new damage report issued. At drop off office no one was available even though it was only 6pm so we had to wait for their rep. The whole rental car experience is deeply flawed and weighted against the customer from start to finish in favour of the rental companies who attempt to extract extra monies from add ons like upgrades and insurance. Overall it is an unpleasant experience and doubtless most customers would agree the industry needs an overhaul. "

" Auto Europe were excellent as always but badly let down on this occasion by europcar. "
" Feedback already sent to Europcar - "Scammed upon return out of €102, reported via twitter. No help. Was told when picking up the car to check for scratches over 5cm and dents over 1cm. There were none but I took a full video of the outside anyway. I rented as a single business traveller, as I do all over the world. Upon return the agent checking the car got immediately into the passenger side which seemed strange. Then gave me the keys and told me to give them back to the office. When I got to the office they told me that I'd broken the passenger side VANITY mirror, hidden under a flap in the passenger side visor. I've not been on that side of the vehicle and haven't had any passengers. Of course no one cares about this as customers lie all the time to avoid damage they have done. The clever thing about this scam is that the amount is just small enough that no one will claim on their insurance, you've already got a deposit big enough to take this out of automatically and no client will EVER open the passenger side vanity mirror compartment when they pick up a car to check if the mirror is broken when they collect the car. A hundred clients could get caught with this scam, that is a lot of money being siphoned from Europcar customers. It's false economy for Europcar too as I'll just rent with another supplier in future and will never rent with Europcar again, a shame as I like the way you've professionalised the pick up everywhere over the last few years to suit the brand, then you get let down by a few shady franchisees on the take. With so much competition in the market positive reviews will be the way you differentiate yourself from the poor quality local suppliers. Mine, and those of other vocal, social media savvy clients will damage that. Again a real shame, but you also DID get the opportunity to put this right, when I contacted your Twitter team, and you gave empty platitudes while pretending you were sorry. If you want to dominate as a premium supplier, you'll clean this type of behaviour from your local suppliers up quickly." "

It is very helpful to have the leverage of a large-scale intermediary to sort out local issues when required. "
" I have used Record on many occasions and always had a good experience. As with all the Malaga local hire companies, we are always pushed to take their insurance to cover the excess. For a six day hire, this was quoted as €149, on top of the €66 hire charge. It is obviously a crazy amount for the excess insurance, as it equates to €9,000 per annum. I wish these car hire companies would all just work out sensible and competitive pricing, including insurance, rather than quote very low headline prices and then try to pressure unsure renters into taking overpriced insurance at the time of pickup. We always decline their insurance, as we use icarhireinsurance, so we are being subsidised somewhat by the less frequent and more risk averse/naive renters. "

" I'd like to know I can trust the prices on the Auto Europe website without them blaming the rental company for extra charges that they surely must know about when signing up to using said company. Having booked weeks in advance I only received a phone call explaining the small print once it was too late to cancel. "
" In the teeny tiny small print it tells you that there is a 40Euro payment if you collect your car after 8pm. Also, there is a 2.50Euro daily payment for a diesel car. I didn't order a diesel car, but as that's all they had I had to pay the extra. So, that was an extra 50Euro cost to me. A decent operation and set up otherwise, but I might stick to the major operators next time and hope I can trust the price I see when booking on the website. I don't much like being tricked by having to read every teeny tiny bit of small print. "

Then when he wanted to take a deposit, he couldn't take one on the credit card I have (AMEX) so I had to pay for the full insurance, which I didn't want and which effectively quadrupled my bill.

I won't be using Interrent in the future and I will proactively advise people I know not to unless I see clear evidence of an end to the sharp practice I experienced. "

" The one thing I'd like AutoEurope to improve is the immediacy of rental confirmation. I sometimes receive a "your rental has yet been confirmed" email which really isn't good enough, especially (but not only) when I have modified a previous booking. In the case of modifying a previous booking, it is, by implication and automatically, cancelled by AutoEurope before the new booking has been confirmed, running the risk of leaving me with neither the old nor the new booking, "
" I generally find Record excellent to deal with but there has been an issue of late with them not accurately recording damage from previous rentals, leaving it to the next renter to check the vehicle thoroughly and highlight any damage. Record needs to be much more thorough in making their own end-of-rental checks and, ideally, to use photos and/or a video of each vehicle taken from all angles as a comprehensive record of the condition in which it is returned by each renter and (so) rented to the next person. I've had four bookings in a row with Record since January 2019 (not all through AutoEurope) and in each case, damage that should have been recorded before my collection of the car had not been. This really isn't good enough as clients who don't take Record's overpriced insurance run the risk of being charged for previous damage that they themselves miss when collecting the car but which Record eventually notices when it is returned (as has happened to me in one of the four Record rentals referred to here).

" I have raised a complaint via AE but about interent ref. 15347026 which AE are kindly following up with Interent. Put simply I was on a FULL/FULL deal and for the 1st time ever in over 30 years of renting cars on F/F I was asked to pay the fuel upfront. When I returned the rental everything was full and in good condition and they even sent me an email saying I didnt owe anything but they didnt refund the full value of the fuel and when I challenged this with AE they were sent an invoice from Interrent showing a 'Smart Return' charge of £12.36 which was not mentioned on any paperwork and even when I challenged paying the fuel up front, they said 'dont worry if you bring it back full, you will get all your money back. That is why AE have 10/10 but Interrent have 1/10 although AE need to mention SMART RETURNS on their vouchers very clearly in 'Not Included Prices' if they are a legitimate charge that companies will levvy.

" I find booking with Auto Europe easy but buyer beware regards some of the Companies suggested. "
" Interrent are part of the Goldcar group. Having taken out the extended cover booking I thought I was covered to most things. I knew I had to leave a fuel deposit on credit card which I did. I later found they had taken further costs for an unknown surcharge, a diesel surcharge which I had not requested and a smart return whatever that meant totalling £30.65 which has not been refunded. This is a total rip off. Contracts are not supplied in English so buyer beware at the counter as Staff are clearly under pressure to load extra costs without any explanation whatsoever. "

" I have rented with Interrent through Auto-Europe site many times. Very disappointed on this occasion to find that Interrent and Goldcar are now amalgamated. All my previous experiences with Goldcar have been bad and had I known that I would be dealing with Goldcar desk I would have cancelled this booking. Despite having pre-purchased zero excess cover including damage to glass, wheels, roof and underside the official still tried to sell me additional insurance. When I said 'NO' he became unpleasant and nasty in his approach. This is exactly what drove me away from Goldcar in the past. The car provided had not been properly cleaned, window glass was very dirty. On car return there was no-one to check in the car. I was told to put the key in the box. When I asked the official to confirm that car was returned fully fueled I was told that block on credit card would be released within 2 hours. It was 4 days before the block was removed. This whole aspect is very unfair to the customer who then has to carry all the risk. If I had not had zero excess cover I would have been very concerned. I since understand that Goldcar has been taken over by Interrent Group and it is very disappointing that the practices of Goldcar which have been the subject of much negative on line reviews (and my own negative past experience) are now being carried through to Interrent which company heretofore I have found pleasant and fair to deal with.

" Not happy! "
" I made a mistake and booked the car for the Friday not the Thursday the day before. I realised this 48 hours of booking. I tried calling the firefly no. At Malaga 34 952 244 942 repeatedly to ask to pick up 24 hrs earlier, but for two days there was no reply. Auto Europe tried as well and no reply either. I spent many hours trying to resolve the problem. All I needed was to pick up the car a day early. Simple one would think, especially so soon after booking, but NO. Sometimes people make mistakes and there should be some kind of customer care or service. I book a car every week and this was my first mistake in 20 years. Shame on you, that you couldnt look after me your client. Customer care is so important to a company. I always go out of my way for people even when they have made a mistake and it always pays off. People remember!!! "

They insist you take out their insurance policy otherwise they "have their own rules for charging customers" which third party insurers cannot get around. They also committed to giving me "the worst car they possibly could" after not taking out their insurance, refused to acknowledge the scratches I identified on the car (they said I should take photos now and we can discuss on return) and said we would automatically be at the back of the queue when returning the car so I should return it at least an hour early. I left feeling more than just uncomfortable. These guys should not be allowed to trade. "

" 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. "

" I'll be honest. Having read the reviews i was prepared for the worst. A long wait to be processed and then the old hard sell for Excess insurance and a host of other products at the counter. However, I was, relatively, pleasantly surprised. There was a 40min wait to be processed (which I'm sure must be worse during peak summer periods (we were there in October), but a ticketing system had been introduced which really helped as I didn't have to remain in a queue for this length of time and the family could watch for my number whilst I had a toilet break. The counter was fully staffed and whilst I was made aware of additional products the hard sell was not aggressive or unreasonable. We didn't get the car we wanted but the Dachia was OK and we were able to get 6 people in there plus 3 large suitcases and a pram (bit of a squeeze though and there is definately more space in the galaxy or Zafira - which was advertised on the web site although with the caveat that the car could not be guaranteed so my expectation then became reality). The car was at the terminal which again we had asked for so that was good. The Firefly staff had told me of the damage already present and marked it on my voucher. I was worried this may not be accurate and took a full film and pictures prior to entering the car. It turned out that it was accurate and the damage was where they had marked so again this was good. The car performed throughout the week and we returned it fully fuelled. Signage to the 1st floor firfly rentalcar returns could be improved as I remained waiting in a lane for Gold car when I could have proceeded to a 2nd lane and moved straight to the 1 st floor - which I noticed those in the know (firefly staff) were doing (this cost me 20mins wait which had we been rushing for the flight would have been pretty anoying. There was a wait to be seen to have the car inspected which wasn't well organised and some customers were jumping in front. There was a ticketing system again but it was clearly not being used. The lady who finally inspected the car was very nice and polite and after the inspection she handed back my voucher marking clearly that all was OK and that the tank was full of fuel. Overall the experience was better than I'd expected (although from reading previous reviews I was expecting the worst). There are improvements that can be made with any customer experience but I guess the most important thing for you to take from this is that the customer should not feel as though they are going to be ripped off or lied too or wrongly advised. I'm not saying that this happened to me but this is the image that you need to overcome. FInally the price I paid was very competitive and this was the most pleasing part of my car rental journey - but really it shouldn't be. I want to be able to take my family on holiday and enjoy good customer service when paying for any product but particularly car rental which forms such a piviotal part of the holiday experience. You guys should be saying "Don't worry, we're here to protect your interests and we are putting you first" not "There you go and by the way if you haven't read eveything in the 1000+ Terms and Conditions then tough luck - give us an opportunity and we'll take more money off you"....... it's up to you which you believe is the best business model...

" We paid full insurance so were told we didn't need to inspect the car when we picked it up. Only after driving off and coming down a very steep mountain road in pouring rain we realised that there was no window screen wiper on the back window which made it impossible to see out the back of the car. THis combined with the fact the front window screen inside was filthy and difficult to see out of made several trips quite uncomfortable. Also the remote control key NEVER worked so we had to manually open and lock car doors every time. When we suggested to the desk staff when handing in the car we maybe could be compensated for the inconvenience we experienced a very unhelpful desk clerk who refused to listen to our request and said she could not see where we had been inconvenienced by our experiences.

" No problem with Auto Europe but could I ask that you work with suppliers on excess this company has increased theirs significantly and the deposit has increased from 300 to 800. The price of insurance is disgusting 19 per day. "
" Absolutely unpleasant start to my holiday with an extremely rude counter person constantly trying to upsell car upgrades VW Up to Audi Q5 for example at 170 euro per day. Then insurance at 2 different rates per day highest first then at a lower rate followed by breakdown cover. Then I got a list of what would end my rental contract puncture, accident, neglect then was I sure I didn't want more cover and am I sure my own policy was adequate. All scare tactics aimed at upselling. Then we got on to excess, there are 2 now apparently one for accident and another for theft but this is sold as 2600 euro excess not 2 x 1300 for either event. Now the cleaning charge is 200 euro, yes 200! The cars aren't particularly clean when you receive them and you are immediately at risk of a 200 euro fee. Then I was told this is your 10th booking with us this year and you never took extra insurance followed by more hard sell just falling short of calling me stupid. No thank you for your custom or loyalty. I was told the return process would take 1 hour when in all previous rentals it had been 10 mins max. On collecting the car I was given the wrong bay number on purpose perhaps? Not happy with this company right now, the only good thing is there is a person to check the car on return who signs the contract to acknowledge all is OK and you can leave with peace of mind. "

" I use Thrifty because you get Hertz service. But you need to give better information about pick up at Málaga airport if you are NOT getting off a flight. Under the new arrangements, the pick up desks are situated in the baggage hall and are therefore only accessible to disembarking passengers. If, like me, you want to spend a couple of nights in Málaga before picking up Hertz/Thrifty car, you need to go directly to the drop-off point which is on level one of the car park and where they have a small office. Once I had worked this out for myself and found the place, the staff were very helpful. But it isn't easy to find, especially if you are arriving from Málaga via the excellent train service, especially as movement between the floors of the car park can be very difficult. "

" Two issues 1 - Arrived at the vehicle collection point in Malaga airport car park at approximately 11am took a number from the machine outside the office as required waited and watched the screen for my number to be called, when my number came up on the screen I went into the office and a female attendant just shouted at me to go outside and wait my turn when I tried to explain that my number had come up on the screen she just continued shouting for me to go outside and wait. When I was finally attended I made it very clear that I was not happy to be treated that way and I would never use interrent again due to their appalling customer service. 2 – I specifically booked the car due to their offer of ZERO excess, however the ZERO excess offer was limited and excluded tyres, roof, undersides, wing mirrors and most importantly any type of breakdown including punctures furthermore I was told that unless I purchase extra insurance cover which doubled the cost of the original car hire price in the case of a breakdown not only I would be left stranded with no road side assistance also my contract would immediately come to an end. In my opinion this offer of ZERO excess amounts to a scam. "

Then, on your return, inspect the car WITH THE AID OF A TORCH ON THEIR MOBILE PHONE?! Slight blemishes that CANNOT be seen in normal light and that have clearly been present for some time, are then brought to your attention. You are then presented with a Damage Report with an excess to pay. I have never felt so cheated in my life. The staff clearly knew exactly where to examine - incidentally, the damage was "discovered" in exactly the same places that the damage had been recorded on the Rental agreement but on the opposite side of the car. Coincidence?? An indication of where to look?? When I wrote on the Damage Report form that I disputed their claim, the young women started shouting at me and snatched the paperwork out of my hand. When I stated that she would need to give me a copy of the report, she stated "I don't have to give you anything!" I have hired cars over many years through Auto Europe with no complaints. However, this has left a very bad taste in my mouth. I will, of course, be disputing any claim from Interrent - even though I am covered by insurance.

Stated that our car would not be effective on the mountain roads and offered to upgrade to a car with English satnav for an extra daily rate of 6 Euros i.e. extra 54 Euros 3. Heavy sell on CDW excess insurance and rubbished the external policy we have separately purchased stating that the local police would be of no help and this would be a pre-requisite of any claim. Offered there own for 9 Euros per day i.e. 81 Euros 4. After this was declined their demeanour changed and they were not helpful or as friendly as when we first walked in 5. The car originally offered (Fiat 500C) suddenly became unavailable and they provided the keys to a larger mini-bus type. On stating and showing them the compact model (Vauxhall Astra on the Europcar purchase order)we had purchased (or equavalent) they stated that this bus was their equivalent which was far too big and cumbersome and could hold 7 people? They would not accept that this was definitelt not an equivalent to the Vauxhall Astra advertised and purchased. On complaining to the office manager they offered the keys to an alternative make which was essentially the same. The quality of both vehicles was not good - not clean with various dents and scratches on, the second vehicle having a sizeable indent on the bonnet. We refused to accept and they said the only alternative was to downgrade to a Seat Ibiza - which was a better shape and size of car but had a number of scratches and bumps on it beyond stated on the rental agreement. They stated that they couldn't refund the downgrade price difference but by this time we just wanted to get out and accepted the price.They stated that we should take pictures of the vehicle to show on our return if there was anything else beyond the form. However, no-one from the office took us to the car and we were left to look over the car in a dark multi-storey car park. It took us nearly 2 hours to organise our car and observed a number of other customers receiving the same treatment. We left feeling agitated and very nervous about how we would be treated on return of the vehicle, to such an extent that we returned the car 2 days early on returning to Malaga. This certainly put a damper on our holiday and left us feeling nervous about actually using the car. We would definitely not recommend Interrent to anyone. We would also value a response to our comments above as we took it on good faith, believing and trusting the Europcar brand. Worst experience of hiring a car in 20 years of driving abroad in Europe.

" The Autoeurope extra liability insurance is excellent value and highly recommended. The inclusive price I paid was highly competitive. Communication is excellent "
" Waited around 40 minutes at the Record desk and was told the car was new and had no damage. In fact the car was fairly new and had minor damage, so we got it checked over and the damage recorded on a new contract. This took time but Record staff did this happily. I had extra liability insurance purchased through Autoeurope and Record didn't pressure me to buy theirs. Anca from Record was particularly helpful. Returning the car was straightforward and my fuel payment was refunded immediately. "

" I like the site but my comments about flagging extra costs in a more clear way are above "
" There is a queuing system which is designed to make you buy fast track at 30 euro. The assistant first established that I hadn't been before then tried to upsell to a Mercedes at 40€ a day - bear in mind I had paid 38€ for Mon-Fri. She used scare tactics about the state of the roads and my unfamiliarity with the area. Then she pointed out that their cars can only be touched/towed by their appointed agents - this was on the voucher but not clearly visible and it didn't show up when I was comparing suppliers and cars to make my decision. I said I didn't need their insurance at 8€ a day but she said I should take it because the roads are bad, full of holes etc. Again, scare tactics. And it worked, I was frightened into taking it - doubling the cost of the car hire for the period. She did point out that other companies don't have this rule. I think this should be flagged really clearly when you are comparing which car to take because the cost of hiring the car would have been cheaper with another supplier which didn't have the 'don't touch our cars' policy. I did a lot of driving down to Tarifa and around that area, and the roads were all in excellent condition, so the scare tactic was worse than that, it was a lie. "

" Auto Europe have been very good as always - I have used them many times before and will use again. I will not use Interrent again after this experience. "
" The car itself was fine - clean, in good condition and had no issues running. When returning the car, we were accused of damaging the tyre and wheel, which we did not do, but our pictures from before the rental were apparently not good enough to sufficiently show that the damage was there before and as such we could not prove that this damage was not done by us. Eventually, as we had a plane that we needed to catch, agreed that we would pay EUR 158.01 for the tyre but not the full amount that we were being asked for (around EUR 255) for the wheel as well. This was agreed by the member of Inbterrent staff. Upon returning back, we notice that our credit card has been charged the full EUR 255 amount. This is a purposeful, fraudulent use of our credit card and amounts to theft from us by Interrent and the member of staff and we will be making a full and very serious complaint about this and the manner in which we were dealt with upon dropping off the car.

" Undoubtedly the worst rental experience I've ever had ...and I've rented a few! This started with the hard sell for excess insurance, which when I refused as I had taken out cover in the UK, the sales assistant seemed to take offence to. To handover a car took around half an hour in the office whilst they tried to sell various add-ons. I was then informed that their policy is to mark the cars as 'no faults' and it's up to the customer to take pictures of each and every blemish around the vehicle before pick-up. This is in a dimly-lit multi-story car-park! The policy is then that on return the car is inspected and each and every blemish is compared to the photos on the customer's phone! Surprise, surprise the drop-off area is perfectly lit and will show off every mark! It's an appalling way to treat customers and a total money-making con. I've only just returned the car and had to wait around for half an hour to find an assessor (no queuing system, just a free for all) and made sure I went through with the assessor every mark, comparing it to my camera pictures - another half an hour. Thankfully (luckily!) I think I'd captured everything and the assessor agreed there was no extra damage. What a time consuming waste....the whole experience was horrible from start to finish - pushy staff, crazy policy that puts the onus on the customer to assess things and prove there wasn't any damage. Completely the wrong way round and I just felt they were trying to rip off the customer at every opportunity. I've taken a video of the difference in lighting between the pick up and drop off areas - they're in adjacent aisles and one is lit and one isn't. Horrible company - avoid....I'd rather pay more and get a decent service. "

" I will still will hire my cars this way though thankfully I have a good insurance policy for when these companies do get up to their tricks! "
" Hiring cars in Malaga is scary most of the car hire companies pass repair charges on to the insurance companies and they push you to buy their insurance for the excess, they are totally disorganised or corrupt difficult to differentiate, Niza seem ok except the deal was to pick the car up with a full tank and return it with a full tank, when I arrived they said "yes but today its different return the car with the same amount of petrol you see it has in it today" that always is hard to judge and they make money out of everyone making sure there is sufficient in the tank so they dont get charges.

My fee for weekly rental was £125 but for car being late for 3 days Firefly charged me additional £225. No understanding from the company of me situation and charged me as much as possible, completely unacceptable. I would appreciate if Auto Europe refund me my additional fees as the circumstances was out of my control. "

" Largely a very smooth and efficient car rental experience. I got the usual hard sell of the daily insurance to cover any eventuality, with the staff on the counter basically implying that I was very likely to have an incident as drivers in the Malaga area are all lawless crazy people without any ability to avoid other vehicles. But I held my nerve and of course, nothing happened. The only negative point was the check-in on return. Car was checked over very thoroughly...more so than I've experienced with previous rentals (probabaly looking for evidence of the aforementioned 'crazy' Malaga drivers...)...but then I was asked to head into the office and speak to the staff there. Gulp! After a short wait I spoke to one staff member who then wanted to me to wait to speak to another of her colleagues...gulp again! But then after a 5 - 10 min wait the next member of staff just turned up, smiled and asked what I was waiting for before saying I didn't need to do anything else. Odd, but a welcome relief and didn't affect my opinion of the overall experience. Car was great, fuel policy was fine and check-in aside was a good experience. "

" I have no problem with the booking via Auto Europe. I would use again but would not use interrent "
" We arrived in good time to pick up our car, there were only two staff and they were only prepared to deal with people prepared to pay an additional 30 Euros. This was the only queue. There were a large number of people outside who had been waiting over an hour and becoming quite angry. After 90 mins I was forced to join the express queue and then simply refuse to pay the 30 Euros. In the end they were forced to relent and allow me to hire the care without paying the 30 EURO. An American gentleman in the queue was forced to do the same. Upon returning the car they initially refused to release my deposit event though they had confirmed the car to be undamaged. again this was resolved but only after having to force the issue. This is possibly the worst vehicle hire company I have ever used and I take great exception to their attempts to effectively extort an additional 30 euros form customers at the desk . Many paid in desperation I might add. "

Altogether a sort of start to my holiday I wouldnt wish it on anyone. I had auto europe excess cover but Gold car staff tried really hard to sell their excess reduction cover with almost threats of problems coming up. Breakdown cover from gold car is a paid for service, we were charged for a full fuel tank at 150£ in addition to the 1500£ of deposit (all of this of course will be waived if we took excess insurance). A hard sell tactic which made me feel really uncomfortable. At pick up point their offices were closed and we were told that they wouldnt be able to check the car for a day and possibly our excess insurance wouldnt cover us in that scenario. "

I obviously opted for the deposit option as i had stand alone cover for any damage. But the Record Go representative proceeded to process the 129.33 euros "total comfort" option against my expressed instruction. when i protested and again told her again i already had this cover she told me "it is too late . it is done. i cannot take the higher amount from your credit card." her explanation made no sense as my credit card has a limit of £8,650. so the deposit option of 1,400 euros would have been accepted without any problem. My complaint at the Record Go reception was ignored but this issue will not go away. Auto Europe have the details of this disgraceful and illegal scam and are in the process of submitting a claim for refund. i have further contacted my credit card company (visa) they have assured me they will also act on my behalf to obtain a refund if Auto Europe cannot secure one by the 9th August 2018.

Although there was absolutely nothing wrong with vehicle, thankfully for us we took a zero excess policy otherwise I am sure they would have added more charges. Do use this company and always read the small print! "

" Good easy booking. As above "
" Car hire is a strange industry full of bad reviews. My advice is check the car with a fine tooth comb on collection. Photograph it in full even if you can't see any damage. Take out your own excess insurance policy in the UK. And then just return it in identical condition and don;t leave the office until it has been checked and you have photographed it again in full. This will save you hassle in time and money... And if you follow those rules then you are laughing. 4 days rental cost £16 in Spain. Fuel was €20 and tools were €25. They treat cars like confetti over there so make sure you are covered with your own excess insurance. Excess policies in UK with zurich are £40 a year... "

I filled the tank and returned the vehicle yet they have had the audacity to try and charge me €43.70 when the tank was full and what's more I didn't even receive it full so have the right to return it in the same manner as long as it's with similar fuel levels which I know 100% it would have been and displayed full tank upon drop off.

This is utterly ridiculous, as clearly your company overbooks the number of vehicles for the number of staff you can provide. I managed to get around the system by taking a priority ticket at the counter which really was meant for customers who arrived on the day and pay a lot more for their vehicle. At the desk it was advised that I could pay €40 to avoid the queue. Rather than wait in the airport three hours to collect our car, we decided to do this. This is an absolutely dreadful way to treat your customers. I don't think that the customer service representative was supposed to treat us in this way so technically we should have waited for three hours. Totally unacceptable. The excuse of 'its summer' is really not acceptable. If you can't Accommodate the service that you are selling, you should not sell it.

" After our flight from Barcelona to Malaga had been delayed by 7 hours, I called Interrent to advise them of the delay, and they confirmed that my vehicle will be held until the evening when we arrived. However, when we arrived at the Interrent counter, the counter staff advised that our vehicle was given to someone else, and that we had to pay an additional 150 Euro for a different vehicle. I found it unacceptable that they had previously advised they will hold the vehicle for me, which I paid for, but went back on their word. The counter lady was extremely rude and not willing to help. What made things worse was that she advised there were no more Fiat 500's available, however, when a client came in after me, she happily gave him a Fiat 500. I was not impressed and even more unimpressed that I could not claim a refund for the rental. Essentially I lost the vehicle and Auto Europe refused to refund the booking. "

" Have been a regular user of Niza for many years but will now look at alternatives. On arrival you are now confronted with several complicated insurance options which they are trying to sell. They are not easy to understand, and are costly. It appears this can add over 30 euro PER DAY for full cover and if you decline they require over 900 as a deposit (refundable). I have an annual hire care insurance policy so don't need their cover. On return of the car there is now a tedious delay on getting the vehicle put through a car wash and re-inspected. These new procedures add a good 40 minutes and are a hassle one could do without on the return. Will now look at other companies to see if they are now all doing the same. "

It cost us a lot of fuel and a whole day of driving. So completely wrong information from your manager!!! "

As it was late at night I was young women on my own and the office was about to close, I felt I had no choice in which to take the car. Evidently the car was broken into, through the damaged lock which I previously had brought to their attention and items stolen from the car. I contact Record and was told it didnt matter as I was insured and to just return the car the following morning.

" only problem I found was trying to burn a full tank of FULE to take it back EMPTY I would rather take it backwith a full TANK & get the C/C refund as it used to be Ps.I do know why they do this SAVES them having to refill the tank for the next hire. It must save them £&£ in the year . but also helps to keep the price LOW ?? "

" Excellent price and service. Free second driver very important for safety reasons. Allowed me to cancel and rebook when price dropped so saving me money. "
" No problems with vehicle or rental, but full-empty is not the best fuel policy. I will not use them for shorter visits. "

" Everything great other than the car coming with a pre-paid tank of fuel - that's effectively an extra cost that they should at least mention up front. Otherwise: very courteous, quick and close to the airport. Would definitely use again. "
