Drivalia at Alicante Airport

Pros: Excellent all round service

Cons: Shuttle bud could be more frequent

Pros: Efficient service not long to wait

Cons: Sold a second Insurznce increasing the overall costs

Pros: nothing

Cons: no service minded and not polite

Pros: It was a nice car, it was a shame I was scammed

Cons: Being scammed

Pros: Vriendelijk behulpzaam personeel

Pros: Efficiency, good staff, good car

Cons: Hidden cost not apparent when booking online

Pros: Quick and efficient

Cons: Would have liked an instruction manuel

Pros: Drop off at desk was quick and easy

Cons: The spanish man called "John" at the Alicante airport desk was incredibly rude and unhelpful. Despite buying insurance from discover cars pre trip he forced us to pay over 200 euros for extra insurance on the car which should have been optional and lied telling is this was law in Spain (we checked with our spanish family member who assured us it wasnt). We were already covered but he intimidated us into paying for more and shouted in the face of my eldery grandparent's. Terrible service.

Pros: Ease of pick up

Cons: Charged £180 for small scratch on alloys that was there when we picked up car. If you spot any damage when you pick up the car, take photos and notify Drivalia before you leave the compound. Have used Drivalia many times before with no problems but will reconsider using them again.

Pros: 5 times using Drivlia and recommended 3 times to family . Been happy to keep using them but I’ve now been put off by the blonde lady with her actions when returning the car. She was desperate to find something and highlighted a dent in the door which was already noted on the initial paperwork as already being there. She made us feel like we had made the dent and as if she was doing us a favour by not charging us for something that was already there. Terrible and cheeky attitude. Need to re-think

Pros: Good car in good condition.

Cons: Not much

Pros: Quick and easy

Pros: Fast service and a good car provided.

Cons: The people working in the front desk were quite rude, they came up with some extra charges which have not been mentioned before and their response to the question “why we were not informed prior the arrival” they were not able to explain it and instead just said “if you don’t like it, don’t take the car”.

Pros: Quick and efficient once requirements were established. Car provided was very modern. Car return was simple and speedy.

Cons: On second hire we requested not to have a specific model. Had to pay extra despite being in the same range. Not a drama ultimately.

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff, fast service at pick up and drop off

Cons: Nothing

Cons: They ripped us off, they were late picking us up, we'll never use them again

Pros: Quite and inexpensive.

Cons: Took quite a while to be picked up from the airport.

Pros: Everything went like clockwork

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Excellent customer service and great value for money. I have used Drivalia in Alicante on a number of occasions and have always been impressed by the quality of the cars and the customer service

Pros: The aggressiveness of trying to sell additional insurance. What a bad experience

Cons: The aggressiveness of trying to sell additional insurance. What a bad experience

Pros: Good and efficient company to deal with

Pros: The shuttle arrived soon after I reached the ouck up point. It was clearly marked up and a new minibus in good condition. The journey to the office area and car compound was less than a kilometer and 5 minutes in duration. The compound looks newly constructed with a smart office/reception area and the cars are parked in rows on well tarmacadamed parking area. The car was a new Fiat 500 Hybrid with just over 600kms on the clock. It served it's purpose and got me to my destination.

Cons: The basic book in process was done quickly and the inline rebooking helped but then came the hard sell to top up the basic insurance cover. Sadly rather than point out that I had not taken up the option when I initially booking and asking me if I wanted to upgrade to which I would reply that I had cover elsewhere and, at this point, the better car rental places like Wiber accept it and move on. U fortunately Drivalia did not, they went through the whole hard sell just like the awful Goldcar firm

Pros: Was all great till I got back to drop car off was there for 0730 didn’t open till 0800 got car handed over and bus didn’t leave to 0840 and I was flying out at 1015 was cutting it tight

Pros: Did not push the optional extras. Did not invent reasons for charging excess expenses.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Painless process to get to the collection point from the airport, simple payment using debit card (taken the full protection).

Cons: I was expecting a little better car: on the website it described it as a luxurious SUV and I got an almost new Alfa Romeo which felt a little plain. We all fitted in there so it wasn't bad, I was just imagined a class up.

Pros: Staff were helpful and nice, didn’t push for insurance and overall great. Car was brand new and spotless no problems returning the car will definitely be using them again

Pros: Efficient and friendly

Cons: The lady at the desk was pushing a little too hard, trying to sell me at least something. She tried to make me feel insecure about the pre-booked insurences. When I really made clear, that that was arranged with discovercars, she tried to sell me a towing-insurence….

Pros: Quick inspection on return with no agenda to find fault

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Waiting at airport for shuttle for 1 hour You do not answer the phone numbers provided

Pros: Nice car to drive, easy transfer from the airport.

Cons: The unnecessary pressure from the agent at the desk regarding extra insurance. I purchased insurance before our trip and this person kept pushing me in front of others for a long time to buy their expensive insurance. Very uncomfortable and stressful experience to start our rental.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Car agents were not conscientious. Tried to cheat a lot of money...

Pros: A very pleasant customer service, quick and easy, well explained details of the car hire and overall the service was brilliant

Cons: N/A

Pros: Quick service, friendly staff

Cons: Had booked a 5 door car thru Discover cars but ended up with a Fiat 500 which is a terrible car overall to drive. Also, the car was covered is scrapes and scratches. It's too small a car to fit luggage in and awful to drive. Stalled on fast road as someone had set the limiter at 35 kph and I think this should have been reset before we got the car as we were not aware of it and it was very dangerous

Pros: The dropping off went very fast and easy

Pros: Pleasant, efficient staff; no hidden extras; great value for money

Cons: They forced me to take additional insurance by saying that they would block 1200 Euro on the credit card for up to 6 weeks. Never ever Drivalia!

Pros: bus stond al klaar op vliegveld en aardige vrouw aan de balie goed uitgelegd

Cons: toen we geen extra dingen wilde afsluiten sloeg deze aardige vrouwom als een blad aan een boom werd erg katig en niet vriendelijk meer erg gek

Pros: Information was clear and easy to follow including ease of drop off

Cons: Nothing, I will use Drivalia on all my trips

Pros: Fast and friendly and all at a great price...

Cons: Nothing at all to dislike....

Pros: Good

Cons: Very good

Pros: Not a lot

Cons: Car provided (a mini) couldn’t accommodate our luggage, we had to put 2 suitcases in the back seat with our children which was uncomfortable.

Pros: I have experienced utterly awful customer service.

Cons: The staff who were very unhelpful and rude.

Cons: My Fully Comp insurance I took out with Discovery wasn't valid as I didn't have a credit card to cover the 3rd Party from Drivalia so had to pay for a Full Comp from them. So a waste of £60 paid to discovery

Pros: It was close to the airport.

Cons: The greed of the agents. Trying to sell me additional insurance which was already purchased through discover cars so therefore not needed. After bad mouthing discover cars, he then fleeced another €90s from me by not allowing me to use two separate credit cards, one for the lease and another for the holding charge. The agent rudely told me to cancel the hire if I didn't like it. Just looking for ways to scam. If I was on my own I would have wrapped my knuckles around his head.

Pros: Fast collect. Good transfer. New car

Cons: . the fuel tank should be full, not nearly full 2. credit card for deposit is ok, but payment for services should be possible with regular debit card (it's cheaper) 3. the car did not have rear floor mats, which made it very difficult to keep it clean 4. It was first time that I have to leave deposit for the fuel tank (it was also not full actually)

Cons: Rude staff; excessive damage charges for minor damage; debited my card three times - I had to contact them to get the refunds

Cons: I noticed a scratch that was not mentioned in the contract, and I went to tell the customer service about this. The customer service agent arrogantly laughed that it was a scratch on top of the paint, so it doesn't count. We photographed the scratch with several phone cameras and took a video of the scratch before using the vehicle. The recordings have a time stamp as proof that they are 28.6.2023 at 20:00. After returning the car, Drivalia charges me €345 for the scratch.

Pros: No delay in pick up at airport. Admin work carried out with no issues and prompt. Car was new, no dents or scratches. Return was very efficient, and back to the airport without any waiting.

Cons: All was very good.

Pros: Perfect

Cons: Drivala behaved excellently, but it is you that I am angry with. paid 35.05 EUR when booking the car and I could not deduct that amount at Dravalia. So I paid EVERYTHING at dravalia and you don't respond to my complaint.

Pros: Fast very friendly and helpful , super cars in first class condition

Cons: Pick up van is quite small so can only transfer smallish groups 8 or 9 at most

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Would have preferred quicker getting the car but understand

Pros: Seamless.

Cons: Professional

Cons: The man on disk didn’t know who discover cars was and where you are located which make me very nervous in case it’s happened something with the car. He wanted me to make extra insurance which cost a lot av money.they receive 1000€ av my credit card. I don’t know when I get my money back. Something you didn’t inform me about. Regards Ahmad Badran
