Goldcar at Rome Airport Fiumicino

Pros: Nothing stand up beside the location inside Leonardo da Vinci airport. Convenient.

Cons: The car was in terrible conditions: very greasy windscreen from the inside made the first 2 nights of driving dangerous and stressing. Front headlights are pointing to the sky and not to the road. The radio wasn't able to retain a station, especially the ones which provide traffic updated in real time. Not to mention the Bushings or Bushes !! Every time we had to drive on uneven tarmac we had the impression to loose the engine on the ground. At check-out unpleasant staff. Never again ever!

Pros: Very easy to pickup and dropoff

Pros: The car was ideal for the trip we had and was clean. Finding the pick up point was also easy.

Cons: Sadly as is common nowadays the agent would not accept the FULL INSURANCE purchased I had purchased through discover cars and therefore said we had to purchase their insurance at a cost of £300, when we refused he reduced the price to £67 but insisted we needed it before he could hand over the vehicle, when I also asked for my documents back he wouldn't hand them over. A poor start to a holiday !!!!

Pros: Nothing

Cons: The handling of the car breakdown

Pros: in reasption have no internet then we have to go differnt building

Pros: Brand new Panda at a fair price

Cons: It is a little unclear wether you can enter the tiny office or if you need to stay outside waiting to be called in. A simple ticket system would be handy especially when it is busy.

Pros: Good location easy to find

Cons: was not able to get my Loyalty points with Goldcar pick up desk pushy people trying to over sell

Pros: Really great car at a really affordable price

Cons: The pick-up location was a little hard to find (the desk which was closed is in a different parking tower to the cars, could do with more signposting or a note on the desk with directions).

Pros: It was friendly

Pros: Fast pick up and drop off

Cons: Pick-up location was different due to closure of office

Pros: Very quick, very professional

Cons: Nothing to say

Pros: Rapidité, service bon vehicule

Cons: L,accueil

Cons: The rental documents state a fuel policy of full to full but the car was only 3/4 full on collection, meaning it cost me more than it should have.

Pros: Very straightforward and easy to pick up and drop off.

Cons: Car was brand new with all these electronic driver aids that I had to keep switching off.

Pros: Extremely fast

Cons: Car conditions

Pros: Everything was excellent

Pros: Fast

Cons: Didn't get winter tires or chains

Pros: They tried to scam me again at drop off. Never again, goldcar is a scam.

Pros: fast

Cons: received a different car from what expected

Pros: friendly staff

Cons: The delay in picking up the car in Rome was incredibly slow (our plane landed at 2:20pm and it was almost 5pm when we got the keys to our car).

Pros: Very efficient service and the car was perfect

Cons: Everything was perfect

Pros: Friendly and efficient process for pick up and drop off. No pushy selling for additional insurance. Relatively new car in very good condition.

Cons: N/A

Pros: N/A as discover cars let me down

Cons: N/A as discover cars let me down

Pros: Hassle free and quick service

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nothing. The person at the desk was unhelpful and not respectful of the extra cover I purchased. I felt exploited.

Cons: Being charged for extra cover that I had already paid for with discover cars.

Pros: Excellent service

Cons: I marked down one point on ease of finding because we didn't realise we didn't have to wait at the desk in the terminal and could go straight to the carpark - there was a small handwritten sign on the desk. A bigger sign would be useful! But overall all excellent, thank you.

Pros: It was pretty quick

Cons: They tried to sell me one more extra cover for damage, even though I already paid for extra cover with DiscoverCars.com.

Pros: quality and state of the car; people were nice

Cons: Having to go to the counter to see that we should go directly to the parking location.

Pros: Speed & professionalism

Pros: no matter what, the staff is always accommodating. I rented from GOLDCAR this time. the car they gave me was simply too large for my needs and they were happy to substitute a more appropriate vehicle. Christiana was a big help.

Cons: the car was a bit smashed up, some very large dents in doors, etc. but it drove ok. lot of road noise, KIA STONIC

Pros: Nothing

Cons: I could not take the car. My flight got a delay of one hour and even explaining the situation to GoldCar personeel they promised to wait for me until midnight, I got to their desk office at 23:50 and no one was there. Very disappointed in this company. I would never recommend to anyone. Very bad experience.

Pros: The car had many marks and damaged bodywork Not the standard of vehicle I would expect to be picking up.

Cons: The pushing of more costs for car and insurance. Your standard cost and insurance should be of a standard that will cover light damage without paying a 2k excess.

Cons: Hidden excess for theft €2500 - not disclosed when booking. Hard sell of insurance, which was TWICE the cost of the rental. Agent claimed that if the car broke down then it would be my responsibility to have it repaired, as I didn’t take the insurance. Overheard agent at the next desk telling a customer that car theft was very common at his destination, claiming the excess for him was €3500, all in an attempt to sell insurance. Thouroughly poor experience - I would NEVER trust this company agai

Pros: fast, easy and everything was just perfect for us. We even got car little bit earlier.

Pros: Not much

Cons: They charged me the very tiny scratch that I have not made, It was so small that I couldn't identify when I picked up. It was non-sense .

Pros: niente

Cons: Macchina con le gomme lisce, mentre guidavo uno dei pneumatici si è letteralmente squarciato da solo, senza che prendessi buche o chiodi o altro. Quando riporto la macchina al centro di Fiumicino mi caricano 160 euro per la ripazione delle gomme: in pratica questi non solo mettono a repentaglio la vita dei propri clienti, ma poi gli caricano danni la cui unica responsabilità è di GoldCar. In poche parole si aggiustano le proprie macchine sulla pelle e sul portafogli dei propri clienti.

Pros: Nothing the people were really unpolite they told "fir that price what you would pretend"

Cons: L'agente che mi ha consegnato l'auto ha tenuto a specificare che in caso di guasto dell'auto per cause non dipendenti da me, non avrei avuto un auto sostitutiva per il restante periodo di noleggio. Non solo quindi avrei avuto il disagio di un auto non funzionante ma avrei perso anche i soldi del noleggio. Inaccettabile

Pros: The car was nice.

Cons: Everything with DiscoverCars worked good when it comes to the rental and payment but when arriving in Rome/Italy and we went to Goldcar to take out the car I had paid for and paid for fully coverage then the lady at Goldcar told me that Discovercars is a scam and that I had to pay for fully coverage to them cause I was renting their car from Goldcar. Of course I didnt pay it to them but the whole thing was unpleasant. I don't think thats a good way to go trying to scam tourists.

Pros: Everything perfect. Brand new car and easy pickup & return

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Unhelpful and rude staff

Pros: Nothing. Normal service

Cons: They gave me a car smaller than booked and said that was same category!!!

Cons: when I returned the car the staff tried to charge me for a scratch - luckily I did a recording of the car when I picked it up so I have the proof that it was not caused by me. Otherwise they would have charged me. They always try to charge for damages so it is advisable to make a video of the car at pick up.

Pros: Excellent service

Pros: Relatively Fast and Quick customer service in location.

Pros: Very quick, courteous and efficient service and a decent car, despite the fact of its needing a mechanical service at the time of collection.

Cons: The above matter was a cause for slight concern but in the end proved to be of no consequence.

Pros: Oddanie samochodu na parkingu

Cons: Brak radia w wynajmowanym aucie

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything i have asked them for a full refund plus compensation. The car that I rented was damaged and I didn’t get a new car during my rental period.

Pros: Gentilezza e correttezza del personale al desk e alla riconsegna auto

Cons: Dal database risultava che l’auto fosse perfetta, come nuova, quando invece aveva 70000 km e diversi danni, che ho dovuto documentare da zero

Pros: Fast and efficient

Cons: no one in the reception ,had to go down to the garage

Pros: It was quick

Cons: Roadside assistance not included. That is a basic requirement

Pros: The car was in good shape and the drop off was very fast.

Cons: The long waiting time when picking up the car and the fact that their POS machines did not work properly. We had our card blocked because the first agent kept insisting it had to be inserted in the machine. And after we managed to unblock it by calling our bank abroad, a different agent told us to use the contactless option and it worked.

Pros: The personnel at the pick up desk was very helpful

Pros: Some agents are courteous, I was unlucky

Cons: Long wait, unprofessional agents, dirty car

Cons: They didn't have the car or child seats even though I had them booked.

Pros: Efficient and Quick

Cons: Dirty

Pros: Rapidità nella riconsegna dell'auto

Cons: La pulizia dell'auto era buona ma poteva essere migliore

Pros: Quick check-out

Cons: queue at pick-up

Pros: Great location, pick up was fast

Cons: Pick up did not involve a walkthrough of car damages, it was only mentioned that the car was “brand new”. Whereas drop off stated the same and immediately recognized that the door lock was broken. The car was not brand new - it had damages prior to my pick up

Pros: Preço e rapidez na devolução do veículo.

Cons: No momento de levantar as chaves bastante confuso. Carro sujo no exterior e no interior era aceitável. O carro tinha um dano bastante grande e visível, mas não estava no registro. Por sorte fiz uma revisão e avisei o funcionário para atualizar a ficha antes de eu sair com o carro.

Pros: Good insurance policies, small deposit. Easy return process

Cons: Car wasn not exactly what was booked. Booked stationwagon, got fiat 500L.

Pros: Ottima vettura anche se di tipo diverso da quello prenotato (Fiat Panda invece di Fiat 500)

Cons: Operatrice al desk di Fiumicino

Pros: The very professional return process, the attendant was very polite and helpful.

Cons: I was not given the car that I expected?

Pros: Very quick pick up and drop off

Pros: Good value for money. Good car condition.

Cons: I was asked to pay for an insurance I didn’t need, tried denying it twice but the operator said it’s mandatory. In the end I accepted it as I was in a rush and made a claim afterwards to Discover Cars to which they agreed, so 10/10 for DC.

Cons: I had issue on regurning the car on the date agressivo due medical conditions they told me if I did it take the car back I would have been taken to court !!!

Pros: Perhaps better clean the windscreen internally using an apposite an cloth for it. Most of the car rental have this minor issue

Pros: The car was new and in good condition

Cons: Their information was unclear and their manager was unkind and belligerent.

Pros: Incredibly old car , dirty . Lot of scratches . Rude and unpleasant receptionist. Who didn’t want to provide a better car even if available . Only because I didn’t buy the Kasco insurance from them but from discovery car broker

The insurance cover from Discovery were not accepted and the options were: leave 1200€ of guarantee and if something happens we had to pay an then ask for Discovey to use the insurance, or make a contract of a Goldcar insurance. Very bad experience

Pros: Staff Mr.Adrian is very helpful and explained some extra services like extra insurance which we find very good.

Cons: Nothing.

Cons: the warning of credit card problem (the one use for the online paiment doesn't allow me to rent the car at the office so they ask me to take their full coverage if no it was impossible to rent a car / i already took discover car hire full coverage but it was not suffisant! 74€ fees for the quarter of gas to fill

Pros: Fast, efficient, affordable, professional

Pros: Nothing

Cons: They overcharged me a price which was not as listed on Car hire.
