Goldcar at Gran Canaria Airport

Pros: Car is fine. Staff heeeeell noo!

Cons: Kindness and pleasent of Staff in the office Keeping money over 1000€ during 30 days. Thats scandall.

Pros: Little wait. Fast checkin. No attempt to sell extra insurance.

Pros: Hyggelig betjening

Cons: Litt lang tid å hente bilen. Stor kø. Mye burde vært klargjort på forhånd.

Cons: Tried hardly to sell additional insurance although booked full coverage already.

Pros: Wypożyczenie bez żadnych problemów, nawet dostałem lepszy samochód niż myślałem

Cons: Servis szybki i bez problemu

Pros: The team downstairs at the parking was extremely helpful.

Cons: The staff at the check-in desk are not really willing to provide services; moreover, they seem focused on completing the payment process and moving on quickly. They haven't had the car I booked (that's fine) but the similar one they offered, it hasn't had parking camera and wireless connectivity, the reason I booked the model I prefer. They weren't really interested to come into a constructive resolution, they offered a way more expensive solution with a extra cost of €30/day... Unprofessional.

Pros: Service at desk

Cons: Difficult to find the car ...

Cons: VW AppConnect function was disabled, so couldn't use phone navigation on the car screen.

Cons: The car was pretty much damaged.

Pros: Andrea the staff member gave 10/10 service.

Cons: Goldcar was completely understaffed for the number of bookings they’d taken on. An hour wait and a half hour drop off is unacceptable. The car was awful and definitely not an upgrade. Insurance is a scam, I’d booked my own for £10 but had to pay £130 as my card daily limit hadn’t been changed to cover the deposit - which conveniently is just over £1000. The fake added mark was the biggest let down, the car was so scratched and battered the report would look ridiculous.

Pros: Quick email confirmation of drop off

Cons: No one in check in desk on return

Pros: A seamless, easy and all round positive experience

Pros: I liked everything

Cons: Friendly

Pros: Car OK

Cons: High security deposit

Pros: No representative to take possession of car.

Cons: Not all the chips and marks were accounted for on the previous damage sheet which was a slight concern.

Pros: Fran at the desk was very courteous and efficient

Pros: Everything was cool :)

Pros: Price, ease of collection

Cons: They requested 1.127 € deposit for a car that was already destroyed all over and nobody bothered to check the car when I returned it and now I'm still waiting for the deposit to be returned - if ever!

Pros: Competitive rates

Cons: Long queue at rental desk and fairly slow moving. Annoyed that we payed more for next size up from smallest car but still received a Fiat 500. Not really acceptable.

Cons: I was in a line for 30 min just to drop off the Key that is a operation that takes 3 seconds! You have to be more effective in this process! We shouldnt need to talk to an agent for this.

Pros: No nonsense, when something went wrong, a great solution was offered.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The employees are really friendly and easy going.

Cons: They could not help me at the desk for prolonging my car rental for 3 days. So I had to book additionally.

Pros: That they gave me another car.

Cons: Deception.

Pros: Good service, although when the car was returned no one was around at first, when someone appeared they did not speak English.

Cons: Hidden charges. I felt like I had to pay the insurance cover which meant I was covered. But I’d understood that having money on my card would be cover. It appeared that if the car was scratched it would cost £350. This was not explained fully before.

Cons: didn't get paid warranty for the car after several attempts they wanted me to pay 140 euros instead of warranty and they said this you can't get it back when the car is delivered way take a taxi to laspalmas and late after dinner came back to try again finally got I paid for the car. They wanted a warranty, but didn't get a full refund and I'm still waiting for an answer.

Pros: Had a brand new car & the drop off was very efficient.

Cons: I need to wait each time quite a bit to get the car. The online check-in does not help at all.

Pros: Cleaness

Cons: Big mess with the reservation. Wrong documents. They didn't care about the error they did. Never agaib

Pros: I want a refund

Cons: I want a refund

Pros: Lots of dents and scratches. Hard to change gear after 20mins of driving. Kept getting stuck in 1st gear. Gran Canaria -Skoda Scala - 0928 LSD - staff were excellent, very helpful

Pros: Ease of finding their checkbinndesk

Cons: The hire car I was provided had a flat tyre. Had to wait over an hour to get another car.

Pros: Everything was perfect, pick-up and drop off very short time and a reliable, almost new car.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The customer service at the desk was great.

Cons: When actually collecting the car we were told that there was no damage but when we went to retrieve the vehicle from the collection bay it was dented and scratched in various locations although the paperwork said there was no damage I had to wait for the representative in the parking lot to return to get the vehicle rechecked and video all the damage, The representative Pamela was exceptionally helpful but this process took about 50 mins, also I couldn’t fit both cases into the boot

Pros: No queue, easy to deal with

Pros: Nothing they didn’t except my voucher and made me pay again on site over €420

Cons: Nothing

Pros: They are not complicated at all.

Cons: Even though I did the online check-in I was waiting for about an hour to get the car. There were two agents working, but it took forever. The advertisment of the online check-in promises something that's not offered...

Pros: Quick service but had to wait along time in big que

Cons: Very slow only service only one person working big ques

Pros: Da war keiner

Cons: Bei der Abgabe ein Bericht gleich vor Ort ist bei den vielen Schäden schon ganz gut.

Cons: Tyre exploded as I was driving on the motorway and they were so u helpful.

Pros: Reliable car

Cons: Too long to get through the queue.

Pros: A big disaster

Pros: Nothing at all. The whole thing was a rip off and proves how terrible Spanish car hire is.

Cons: Everything, utter thieves and would never use Goldcar again.

Pros: Average

Cons: When getting the paperwork. The number of X's showing where there was damage was unbelievable!

Pros: No issues on drop off, good value

Pros: Fast service, friendly staff

Cons: The car itself is scratched all-round.

Pros: Terrible

Cons: Will never recommend

Pros: Easy to find desk, quick to get the keys

Cons: They didn't explain very well where we the car was parked for pick up, it was not where they said it was. They didn't tell us where to return it.

Cons: The car had a couple of extra damages not reported in the sheet (and I’m quite sure they will not be reported in the next rent)

Cons: Im still waiting for refund money from you

Pros: Decent car - skoda scala at good price

Cons: 3 hour queue. 50m long. It’s not like they wouldn’t know that many people were coming, but they only put 2 staff on.

Pros: Nothing. Whole task was an ordeal.

Cons: Very slow service. Staff insisted on trying to sell extra insurance to everyone even if they already had it. It took one and a half hours to serve fifteen people. The car we eventually picked up had damage to every panel. It drove fine though and fitted our luggage ok.

Pros: Very patient staff (2 people)

Cons: We waited two and a half hours. Not the staff fault. Simply overwh

Pros: The return of the car was caotic

Pros: Rien

Cons: le manque de professionnalisme et d’honneté.

Cons: If you bought full coverage they made you leave a deposit of 1500 euros (1400 + 90 gasoline) and if you made a scratch of more than 2mm they automatically deducted 700 euros These abusive conditions forced you to hire full coverage, which had an abusive price compared to other companies

Pros: Polite. Good value.

Cons: Not enough staff. Having to wait 2hrs 30mins to pick up car.

Pros: Het gemak is groot! En krijg netjes de borg van de creditcard terug.

Cons: Auto met ongeveer halve tank ingeleverd, kosten 94 euro. Zelf aftanken was goedkoper geweest.

Pros: Gold car es una estafa pero lo que realmente es una verguenza es esta pagina y sus seguros

Pros: The price was good and the car was fairly new meaning it was in good condition. The desk staff were friendly (eventually).

Cons: Not enough room to type this properly but no car for us even though we booked weeks ago, finally got a bigger car (didn’t seem to have one of these either). Sent to car park, waited ages and ages only for desk guy to appear saying car wasn’t being cleaned the keys had been locked in the office so we were waiting for nothing. Given vague directions miles across airport which took ages to find. We were not impressed.

Pros: As above

Cons: As above

Pros: Price

Cons: Time of collection and tiny parking space

Pros: Fair price, easy drop off.

Cons: Spent an hour to find the car and no representative at the office in garage.

Pros: Worst rental company with rude staff and horrendous policies.

Cons: Everything!

Pros: nothing.

Cons: The car was dirty and the engine didn't sound great from the start. The battery failed. We had to call the recovery service and get the car started so we could get it back to the airport to get a new car. A day of our holiday wasted. Never again with Goldcar.

Pros: friendly, efficient..drop off easy

Cons: wait to pick up at desk

Pros: Velocità e serietà senza trucchi

Pros: Clean, efficent car.

Cons: I had to pay additinal 180€ fee to rent a car due to actual refundable fee was not precisely specified before car rental. My credit card limit was consequently too low. Very disapointed.

Pros: The car was bigger than we expected

Cons: The car was parked far away and had a lot of scratches It also struggled with overheating going up long inclines

Pros: REturn handling was excellent - very quick and efficient.

Cons: Long queues of unbooked customers prevented us from picking up our pre-booked car quickly, and as a result, we were delayed by nearly an hour, which is unacceptable,

Pros: Car had so many minor exterior damages - checking 30 damage areas is a lot. Windscreen wipers needed new blades and were unsafe Loud noise at certain revs and torque - indicating mechanical issue Fuel level was not properly full on collection

Pros: I would like everyone to be able to read what the Goldcar agency is like. on top of that, they don't even help you pick up the vehicle, and especially when you return it, there's no one to pick it up, you just put the key in the box. terribly unprofessional!!!!!!!!!!!! SERVICE DISASTER THEIR LICENSE SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY NEVER AGAIN

Cons: I would like everyone to be able to read what the Goldcar agency is like. on top of that, they don't even help you pick up the vehicle, and especially when you return it, there's no one to pick it up, you just put the key in the box. terribly unprofessional!!!!!!!!!!!! SERVICE DISASTER THEIR LICENSE SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY NEVER AGAIN

Cons: The advertised price is absolutely not true! They deduct hundreds of euros during the rental. Nobody rents here!

Pros: Fast picking up, easy dropping off

Cons: No damages in the condition report upon collecting the car, but after going to the car park we found that the car had plenty of scratches and marks all around car, it was also very dirty inside (even found dog food on the back seat). Had to go back to the desk to ask for someone to come and make a new report.

Pros: None existant. Massive wait. No help. Rude.

Cons: Massive wait and then told wouldnt take my valid UK driving licence. Company policy. Buy. Not my problem.

Pros: Good car, fast service, friendly staff

Pros: the long que for taking up

Cons: waiting for my money back

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Unfortunately, there is not enough space in this field to list the several failures by the Supplier in virtually every aspect of the contract, so I shall just say that on my return to the UK I found that they had taken 257.57 EURO from my Credit Card on the third day after collection without any explanation (The car was returned with a full tank of petrol and no damage as required )

Cons: We arrived early and were not able to pick it up. They charged us for cleaning.

Pros: Cheap price.

Cons: Old car, with a lot of scratches in the paint. Seats was dirty, and cleaning of the car was not goldcars first pri. Wery unsure to sign for that kind of car in a dark parking-garage.

Pros: All in good service

Pros: One car was ordered online, another one was given at the airport. Prepaid twice

Pros: the rapidity of dropping off the car and the kindness of staff there

Cons: the price exagerated for a FIAT 500 and the unkindness of the agent, probably only focused on making biggest profit

Pros: Price is unbeatable.

Cons: Arrived 20 minutes earlier to the desk and was forced by the representative to wait if not agree to pay additional money for other car. I did prefer small cars so was waiting at the back of the cue- not efficient at all.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Fast & efficient

Cons: The car was a little under-powered for touring Gran Canaria's mountains.

Pros: Absolutely nothing!

Cons: Car would never show a full tank even with tank overflowing. Explained at drop off and still got charged penalties. Car was overall bettered.

Pros: Online check in was super efficient Staff did not try to sell insurance

Cons: No real problems

Cons: The agent wanted to sell additional insurance and claimed deposit cannot be left with a debit card what we explicitly checked with the Goldcar Madrid office in advance. Agent was impolite and pushy. Negative experience is not about DiscoverCars but Goldcar local rep.

Cons: Provide more credit cards options.

Pros: Quick to drop the car off and the price

Pros: Friendly service and easy pick up and drop off.

Pros: Not bad.

Cons: Return the car team...

Pros: Good for standard service

Cons: The car was dented and had a broken rear light and was unclean. No one in the pick up point to work with to fix had to go back to the airport and get someone to attend again - 1.5 hours !!! DISCOVERY insurance offer not sufficient and Goldcar certainly did not rate it

Pros: Nothing

Cons: The lack of information. I lost my money and I could not rent the car because at the desk they denied my credit card and they formed me to get their insurance that I refused because it was double the price that I had agreed with discover cars so they cancel my reservation and I could not get my booking back

Pros: They didn’t try additional sells

Pros: The lady who helped us in the car park picking up the car was very helpful. There were additional marks on the car that had not been flagged on the sheet.

Cons: Actually taking €1100 deposit off my card instead of reserving it. No confirmation when my car dropped off that it has been inspected. Waiting upto 20 days for my deposit of €1100 euros to be credited back to my card. Most car rentals only reserve the deposit, but you guys actually take the payment!

Cons: Car was not ready at pick-up, very un-helpful unfriendly staff. Haven't received my deposit back so far either

Pros: They are trying to charge for extra damage to car when I have photos from the start of the rental with the highlighted marks on the car at collection.

Cons: Insurance was paid. Got charged double for insurance £71 from discover cars then further insurance from gold car. A joke and a rip off. Would like a refund of insurance costs from either or company because effectively it was bought twice.

Cons: Goldcar are a disgrace and try to scam people for damage

Pros: The car had dents and damage everywhere when we collected it and they made up fake extra fake damage and charged me €400! Complete scam making up fake damages it was awful. Never use Goldcar.

Cons: The car had dents and damage everywhere when we collected it and they made up fake extra fake damage and charged me €400! Complete scam making up fake damages it was awful. Never use Goldcar.

Pros: Nil

Cons: As above - Hidden extras not explained at rental from the office. Contract in Spanish with no explanation of additional charges. Not offered to pay in euros despite stating I wished to and having an international bank card. Car had numerous faults including low tire pressure and low engine oil. Car was also not properly cleaned.

Pros: Nothing, never ever again with this unprofessional company.....made me wait over an hour for their agent, then another hour filing complaint against their staff Fatimah.....i have a copy of the complaint. Then when dropped the car, no staff wanted to check the car or the fuel, so had an argument with them the girl and boy there, then complained to the office where the signed off the car documents!!

Pros: Woman receptionist at the parking lot, very professional.

Cons: Didn't received Polo, like reserved even there 3 available in the parking lot. Been asked for more money, fees that not stated by third party. Paid £6/day full cover when reserved, but told that it was third party , not full cover. Receptionist can not recognised credit cards.

Pros: The car was really good! Good to drive and in good condition.

Cons: At the desk they asked my signature without telling what i accept when I sign. They just said "and then your signature, pleace", and I signed my name to the tablet. They should show the real paper to the customer before signing. They also put the papers inside their promotional brochure, so they never introduced those.

Pros: on site

Cons: all ok

Cons: I'm not happy with goldcar's charges and robberies

Cons: Unfriendly, not serviceminded

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything

Pros: They showed up for work. Well done.

Cons: Had to pay extra money despite I thought I had done everything with the initial company

Pros: I was over charged and was not made clear at time of booking

Cons: Cos I was over charged

Pros: When we could not find the car, an employe went with us and showed us, where it was.

Cons: The insurance was robbery. So much for one single week is not ok. We were told, that only possibility was full insurance, or no car. Because they did not accept the creditcard. At 2300 at night we did not have much choice but to pay. That was almost robbery!!

Pros: nothing

Cons: I did not end up renting a car from Goldcar, too many hidden fees

Cons: Gold car is the worst cheating company. And they Even showed it on danish television that this have happened in gran canaria so we thought it stopped but No.

Pros: great car, liked that pickup and drop off were in the terminal

Cons: Representative was rude when I questioned the costs and forced me to purchase insurance. The rate did not match my quote at all.
