Goldcar at Lisbon Airport

Pros: One agent at Goldcar (there were 4 total) noticed I was waiting for so long that she called me up even though my number wasn't called. I really appreciated that.

Cons: I waited in line for 30 mins to pick up the car. I was first in line but they have some weird system that slots people being called in some sort of priority. I can't imagine the 7 people who got slotted ahead of me even when I was first in line all bought priority service. Even a lady who didn't have a reservation was called ahead of me by their system. In the future, I will continue to book with discover car but avoid Goldcar if the option is available.

Pros: Not a lot!m good about Gold Car! They try to force extra on you and are not trustworthy with damage on returns.

Cons: 45 minute queue to collect 45 minute queue to enter car park for drop off

Pros: Nothing in particular

Cons: Hidden costs on existing car scratches, even with proof

Pros: The speed of pick-up and return.

Cons: Nothing, everything went well.

Pros: internet page is very clear

Cons: hidden costs

Cons: very slow and complicated, lots of unexpected extra charges

Cons: I didnt like it occured that they did not take my business credit card even I booked the car with this car so instead of 800pln I paid 2600pln. There is something wrong with that

Pros: Car was good (though bigger than what booked). Drop off fast.

Cons: The agent was short, rude and forced me to pay for additional insurance with Goldcars which I did not plan for. This because they insisted on having me pay first a deposit for the full tank policy and the additional e-toll device (I didn’t want but was forced to get) on the same card as my main car deposit (which affected my remaining card availability and pushed it below 950€). Also they initially tried to charge 1200€ deposit for the car (instead of 950€).

Pros: Efficient and friendly

Cons: nothing

Pros: Quality of car and service v good

Cons: Service v good. Travel queues at the airport to drop off horrendous. outside the control of Goldcar but needs addressing.

Pros: AC working bad, Car was damaged, Backside cover broken, One tore losing pressure within 12 h

Cons: Charged me for a scratch even though I had a photo of at pick up. They accepted this but then still charged me £320 and told me to email Goldcar to try and get it back….. questionable practices

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything

Pros: Helpfull and speed

Cons: During pickup, I received the key without any explanation or review of the damage. My signature had been copied onto a damage form even before I had received the car. I didn't find out what damage was already on the car until halfway through day 1 and had to check it myself.

Pros: nothing

Cons: desk agent absolutely awful. Rude, aggressive & very unhelpful.

Pros: Just a tourist scam where they charge you additional mandatory payments for extra services that have not been ordered.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: it was very easy to organise pick up and return of car

Cons: nothing

Cons: Had to wait long. Computer not working. Damages not listed. Promises made that they would send an email. They never did even after I called.

Pros: very fast service

Pros: seldom, very little, great guy at drop-off, finding out flat tire

Cons: 1) To pay an extra day of car rental when could be avoided by sending an email about contrat closure day before, as all GOLDCAR / DISCOVERY competition does 2) Slow flat tire at left back tires 3) paying VIA VERDE obligation with no need for a daily fee

Pros: None of it

Cons: Kept trying to upsell me, and then charged me £300 for a scratch (that wasn't me).

Cons: They did a 60€ bogus charge at the end of the rental period that only got reverted after filing several complaints

Pros: Fast efficient great value

Cons: n/a

Pros: very practical service

Cons: It was a busy day Saturday morning, and we haven’t wait! But it’s ok!

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Goldcar - who I booked through DiscoverCars- are conmen. They fabricated damage and charges despite me having video proof to the contrary. The vehicle was not damaged in any way.

Pros: There were awful in accurate delivery and very picky to find scratches. In fact, they put pic of mod as scratches and after washing the car, I took another picture and it was not even scratches! They changed a large value for that, their business model is to offer cheap but change for nothing

Pros: Airport location.

Cons: Airport location.

Cons: they are the only provider who charges you for the toll machine daily, outside of the quote price. It's basically a scam and don't be fooled by the low price you think you're getting from renting with them.

Pros: professional trust full

Pros: Unfortunately, my experience was not very positive. Some existing damages were not properly marked at pickup. I informed the staff and was told to just take pictures because everything was “in the system.” However, I later received a charge for damages that were already there. The front window was very dirty and what looked like scratches turned out to be dirt that was easily removed. The seats also had visible stains.

Cons: I was not informed in advance about the CHF 300 deposit for fuel and Via Verde, and I had to pay 12 for Via Verde. The service at pickup was not very helpful, and the staff did not want to properly check the existing damages with me. At drop-off, however, the car was inspected very thoroughly. Overall, I felt disappointed and would have expected more transparency and fairness.

Pros: Nice guys

Cons: Maybe the bank should return the deposit faster, it takes more time, I think

Pros: easy, professional, costumer oriented, easy readable damage definition on conditions: 5 cm

Pros: Good service as always

Pros: Quick , easy - excellent value for money. Friendly, efficient staff.

Pros: Service at the collection desk was atrocious. Had to wait almost two hours to be seen. And the staff claimed their card machine didn’t work so we ended up paying for full insurance to overcome the issue

Pros: Electric car should not be an option for rentals. It is very hard to navigate with the application and finding the right spot to charge. I do not recommend ever getting an electric car.

Cons: The worst car ever

Pros: nothing - I use car hire companies many times per year and will never use them again

Cons: Everything about goldcar is bad. Hours wait at the pick up desk Long time to process rental once finally at the desk Unwilling to accept contactless payments despite machine working Unwilling to accept Amex Unwilling to process any changes apart from In person Lots of extra hidden costs overpriced insurance as the only alternative to obscene deposit amount Should not be allowed on any broker sites - shame on discoverycars.com for hosting them

Cons: 2 hours to pick up car. Got a car with empty tank while in the contract was full. Got a a new car. In the first car i left my sunglasses, told the staff, but even so the sunglasses were stolen by the staff. Police report done.

Pros: Absolutely nothing.

Cons: I basically did not get any service, just wasted 2 hours of my holiday to walk away without a car. Pitiful company.

Pros: I really appreciated the customer service provided by Mr Simão Tavares. He was knowledgeable, helpful and very professional.

Cons: Waiting time to collect vehicle.

Pros: Nada

Cons: I was late for the pick up of the car so they claim no-show and charge me extra €200 to get a new car, with other companies like Gerlin, they waited for me with an order about 24 hours. There is a note in the small letters, in the end of the page of waiting only six hours, but it’s very hard to find that in the small letter.

Pros: It was relatively fast

Cons: The car was very scratched and it smelled like used by heavy smokers

Cons: Will never rent from them again. My reservation was for pick-up at 1:00pm. I waited 2.5 hrs before I was seen, they did not have enough staff. To make matters worse, they didn’t amend the drop-off time on my reservation. So typically, if you pick up the car at1:00pm, you return the car at 1:00 pm. But i finally got my car at 3:00 because their lines were so long. They refused to allow me to drop off the car at 3:00pm, saying I would be charged an extra day, if I did.

Pros: 2 hour wait when check ding in, very rude staff when picking up the car . Supervisor refused to speak to me when they changed last minute the car and made me wait another 30 minutes! Extremely rude

Cons: Check in terrible , check out perfect

Pros: Não é um operador confiável, basta checar as avaliações de outros usuários, com diversas reclamações. Serviço muito ruim e dirigido a tirar dinheiro dos clientes de forma lamentável

Cons: They are not fair, they steal and do not respond to customer complaints. Just check the google reviews, it is exactly that

Pros: The car was in good condition.

Cons: Unprofessional staff - the ethical code is at a low level. Paying for a motorway deposit without a question . The 'airport tax' and/or its (real) amount not written on the platform. The information provided on your platform does not correspond to the facts on the spot! The bill I received was not written correctly, was lower! Paying all deposits and extra costs by one credit card!

Pros: Dirty car

Cons: A entrega do veículo demorada e ainda atrasou.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: They have charged me much more Money that was in Booking, not this Price 81 Eur, but 400 Eur Extra. I will definitely no more Booking with this App or Goldcar

Pros: Not much - the car was OK

Cons: Abysmal service - it made us at least an hour late to check in at our Airbnb.

Pros: Friendly staff

Pros: Very little things. It’s just cheap

Cons: Customer care, only 2h of grace period

Pros: Nothing

Cons: They charged me a different price to taht agreed and then charged me for damage to the car that I did not cause,

Pros: clear rules, airport location, friendly staff

Cons: They suck. You call gold car the actual company to extend and they tell you not to worry and then when you drive back to airport they said there are no notes...such BS waste of time.

Pros: Your staff. The car was also great value for money.

Cons: rather a long line at the drop off point, but that was due to the company drop offs before yours.

Pros: 90 minutes delay to delivery the cat, they Said It was nota ready, told me to Go for a walk and come back later, evento though It was the exact reservation time.

Cons: In the middle of the Rental i recieved an email regarding a supposed accident, but It was a diferente car (evento diferente colour), charging almost 400 euros. I was told to send them a mensagem but never got a return. Terrible experience

Pros: All good

Cons: Nothing

Cons: The additional charges occurred at the counter. I was also incorrectly informed by the Agent about motorway charges. I request these additional charges to be reimbursed. Thanks for your assistance

Pros: Nao me pareceu muito transparente Carro eu pouco deteriorado

Cons: I will not rent from Goldcar anymore, the flight was late and since I collected the car at 22h30 and they close at 22h they charged me €40 Extra. It’s the first time the a rental does this especially when I provided the flight number

Pros: Great value for money. Very easy pick up process, small queue as was a weekend flight but went quickly. And very fast drop off! Would use again!

Cons: Be careful when reserving your car to correctly specify the time you want to pick it top and drop it off.

Pros: A lot of damage on The doors, paint, and those items all Needes to be checked. That is not relaxed for the person who rents the car.

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: Hidden/unclear fees not communicated to customer at the desk. Exaggerated prices for their insurance.

Cons: Charged me for a fuel when they gave me the car without a full tank

Cons: The pick-up process as well as the fact that we initially received a wrong car.

Cons: The car had a lot of damage when it was picked up. When the vehicle was returned, the agent noted micro scratches that were impossible to see when the vehicle was picked up (too little light in the basement). Without their little electronic machine, which they obviously only use when the vehicle is returned, at the counter they didn't want to know anything and want to charge us for this damage. I dispute this even though I took the insurance option included.

Pros: New car in great condition, kind staff, easy and welcoming service

Pros: Fast

Cons: Having to pay for the transponder

Pros: Efficient staff especially at drop off. Great price

Cons: Machine broken at pick up, long queue.

Cons: Unforseeable charges at the car pick up due to bad communication via the broker company and not understandable / relatable issues with credit card and insurance policies. Didn’t accept my valid creditcard with which I never had problems before. Rude and stressful check out.

Cons: The car is not I rent

Pros: The only good thing is the quickness to return the car and that’s it! All the rest is unpleasant!

Cons: Customer service is inefficient and unhelpful; The staff is rude. If you don't hire insurance from them, they’ll mistreat you and lie about other companies or credit card insurance. They make the whole process difficult once they discover you're not hiring insurance from them, and the treatment with customers changes to unhelpful and unpleasant. The slightest scratch on the car will cost you a minimum of 100€; They charge outrageous fees for tolls and fuel previously 300€ (150€ e.a)

Pros: Service was OK

Cons: You charged me a penalty for fuel while I was returning a full tank

Pros: It all went well until the return of the car. Car was inspected by receptionist and all was ok but then 2 hours after I received an email stating that I had bumped the car, Which is total bullshite. Never again using Goldcar.

Cons: Very rude and aggressive gent at pickup time, trying to charge extra fee as inexperience deriver even-though I have had over 28 years of driving experience , the agent was ignorant on how Driver licenses are on other countries and do not have the date of original issue, and issue date is only pertains to last renewal. this was first time I have ever encountered such a demand in all my 25 years of getting rental cars.

Cons: Said that they "do not accept insurance from any other company" but theirs - so why work with Discover Cars then??? Then they gave me two choices - either pay another €132 for 5 days insurance or they will take €3,300 from my credit card and I will lose this if there is a big claim. This is tqo guns against my head. PLUS I had taken FULL INSURANCE with Discovercars.com. DO NOT CHEAT THE CUSTOMER.

Pros: My agent was friendly and helpful.

Cons: They are the only car rental company in Portugal I have encounter that charge "In-Experience" driver fee if the driver License issue date is under 4 years, ignoring the fact that you have been driving for many years before only because the issue date is simple the issue date of renewed license and not the date you start driving or get your first driver license, thy are adamant and rude about this and have not training for their employees on treating customers. many hidden fees with this company!

Pros: Efficient service, very helpful staff on collection and drop off.

Cons: There are no negative comments

Cons: Car broke down after 2 days. Brought to airport and they said I had to pay a second deposit on the same card. The card did not have a high enough limit so we had to get a taxi back to Estoril at a cost pf 53 euro.

Pros: Efficient. Friendly desk staff. Nice car that met our needs.

Cons: High price to add an additional driver to the booking so my husband could drive the car too.

Pros: The cars are in good condition for the price

Cons: Charges that are not communicated to the client, cannot contact customer services, warning lights left on making the car unsafe to drive

Pros: The dropping off of the car was very fast

Cons: The car we received looked like it had just come back from a war zone. There were scratches, dents and heavy scoring on 95% of the vehicle. What the underside was like I don’t know.

Pros: I had a nightmare at the desk trying to get my credit card to work , I admit it was my fault because I couldn’t obtain my PIN number and there was no WiFi to obtain it , I spent a lot of time wandering around the airport to try and get a signal . I ending up using my debit card and paying a lot of money, which I need advice on . At the desk I payed £244.04, then another payment of £98.25 . This is on top of the initial car fee when booked . I want to know if you can explain the payments

Cons: I need to know how much will be returned to me if the near week or so ?

Cons: Worst car rental experience in Europe. The Insurance and other costs was not trasparent and was different with the aggregator's price (discovercars).

Cons: Car was old, high mileage, covered in damage and the driver window didn’t open. Booked a manual fiat panda but was forced to take an automatic fiat 500. Huge queue at the rental desk.

Pros: Unfortunately nothing.

Cons: Already listed in previous comment.

Pros: Goldcar obliged me to pay additional 200€ because my cars was not with Credit. Not fair at all.

Cons: Goldcar obliged me to pay additional 200€ because my cars was not with Credit. Not fair at all.

Pros: All good smooth and easy apart from payment deposit.

Cons: All payment / deposit with one single card, plus overcharging and risk if we wanted to use business credit card.

Cons: The staff was'nt kind or helpful. You need a creditcard when you pick up the car, a debetcard is not enough, you couldt point that out for the renter, before the

Pros: It's conveniently at the airport lounge

Cons: Price offered was a untrue: they charged excessive extras that weren't included in the booking

Cons: Goldcar debits credit cards for the guarantee, and this value is blocked during a whole week.

Pros: Once I found check in it was fine. Sara was very helpful and explained everything. All insurances should be included when ordering the car. I hate being sold extras at check in.

Cons: Instructions on picking up the car were poor. Car was a bit battered, lots of scrapes and dents but drove fine for a 1L car. I would have preferred something a bit more powerful for the motorways.

Pros: The car was in good condition in general except one tyre was flat so i had to inflate it at a gas station. But, in general, i am very happy about Goldcar after a third time dealing with them.

Pros: Car pick up was fast and drop of process as well.

Cons: Car was dirty and smell very bad.

Pros: Very friendly people

Cons: All good

Pros: A lot of cosmetic damage to the car

Pros: Staff friendly & very helpful.

Cons: Car was a bit small and having to pay over 100euros for a baby seat is shocking

Pros: Quick efficient service. No big push for their own car hire excess insurance which is always great. Will definitely use again

Pros: They were friendly at the airport service desk. Unfortunately can’t say the same from their customer service or road side assistance. Still waiting a response and refund for extra charges they have made.

Cons: Pretty sure tyre was already bit broken when I got the car.

Pros: The place to pick up the car is close to the airport, not requiring shuttle service.

Cons: The car had many dented parts and the clutch was hard to press.

Cons: Process extremely slow Process overly complicated Unexpected charges Told I would be refunded some items but unclear how/when this will happen At area where we took car back he marked damage, but did not discuss this with me or show me and just asked me to sign. I don’t think we needed to pay for this as we took out the comprehensive cover but poor customer service nonet.

Pros: Easy to find the location at Lisbon airport.

Cons: The car that we had was in bad and dangerous condition. We lost one whole day for waiting a new car. In addition, GoldCar blocked 2x1600 euro plus the repair and taxi costs from us. Now we are waiting whether we ever get our money back.

Pros: top rental ! bad recent experiences with Enterprise - Alamo - Hertz

Cons: a very long time to pick up the car

Pros: Nice car

Cons: Massive deposits

Cons: proprete de la voiture

Pros: They were effecient with the hire booking

Cons: When i picked the car up they tried to sell me an upgraded car which was no different to car i had hired.

Pros: in terminal

Cons: additional fees, cant seem to honour the price they offer online! Pay more and go with a decent hire company and it will be cheaper in the long run!

Cons: The garage is a tiny overcrowded place, far too many cars for the space. I wasn’t told I had to go to the kiosk so went to my car instead. On returning to the kiosk after finding the car locked, there was no one there. I eventually was given my key but then realised two cars were parked in front of my car. 20 minutes later I found someone who reluctantly moved the cars, leaving me a tiny space to squeeze an unfamiliar car through. Overall I spent the best part of an hour getting my 🚙

Cons: The price I agreed was different from The price paid

Pros: This was the best hire car experience I’ve had for the cheapest price ever. To be fair the only hiccup is always trying to find where to pick-up/drop off/queue-up.. but if you’re not in a hurry it really doesn’t matter. I thoroughly recommend hiring this way.

Cons: The car was great. Compact, fuel efficient.. I travelled a really long way over a week and literally only spent €30 to fill up at the end. Magic

Pros: Easy to find in the airport. At car pick up getting the keys and the car was quick and efficient.

Cons: At the desk in the airport, not very nice person and very pushy trying to sell the insurance cover even thought explained that i already had one.

Cons: Car was old, beaten up, clutch didn’t work and ‘via verde’ started giving errors as well

Pros: I’m happy in general.

Cons: Just sometimes in front desk it takes time, to get the contract. But it’s normal. So many customers.

Pros: I went a little late can of delayed flight and they told they don’t have anymore this car / and the reservation is canceled… but in same moment staying on the desk within 5 min for same say I booked same car and it was available … No comment Just they lost my money noting els

Pros: The process was quick.

Cons: I had to pay extra to get a car on time as they didn't have one I booked ready for me. Not great..

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: Extra taxes at the desk, car I'm bad conditions, and they are trying to make me pay for a damage that I did not make.

Pros: Quick process

Cons: Did not like that I did not get the option to chose to pay in Euro with my Credit card but the machine automatically made a conversion rate that was 10% above the market rate.

Pros: Fast

Cons: Wrong information about electri car caused a lot of money and time waste: * charging time * places * application * longevity of battery

Pros: No issues straight forward

Cons: The car had between 20 and 30 small dents/scratch

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Scammers

Pros: rapidité et simplicité pour rendre la voiture et personnel aimable à ce moment là.

Cons: Pas d'information concernant le pass et manque d'information au moment de prendre la voiture. C'était la première fois que je louais et donc pas habituée.

Cons: A lot of extra costs hidden in the contract. Instead of paying 38 EUR on pickup, which was stated in the booking, I had to pay over 90 EUR. Everyone before me in the line was as surprised and upset as I was, which made the waiting time longer. I stood in line for an hour before it was my turn. Not a polite and service minded person at the desk either I’m sorry to say.

Pros: Ease of service

Cons: Checking the car for bumps/scratches had to be down twice

Pros: Got over charged 53.17 instead 38.71

Cons: Service agents the attempt to give people a car where on the paper not all damages are registered correctly

Pros: It was great experience and service vby goldcar

Cons: No thank

Pros: Nothing (0)

Cons: The worst service ever One of the workers, young lady, made some ugly expressions and then made a mocking dance o my backhumiliating me in front of their colleagues and ther clients - because I asked them the COmplaints Book An horrible experience

Pros: They were efficient

Cons: The wait was over 30 mins

Pros: Be prepared for a long wait. They are very popular. But worth the wait. Amazing service.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: On returning the vehicle the Goldcar representative checked the car and said everything is ok. No damage. I later received an email that advised wheel rim damage and a scratch on the bumper!!!! This is totally false and very suspicious. My funds for fuel and toll charges, which were paid in advance, have yet to be received.

Pros: position in te airport

Cons: maybe to rush in te return i forgot something for the hurry

Pros: Staff very pleasant

Cons: Speed

Pros: Nothing

Cons: You staff on the desk are not good at all. Not costumer service at all. Not a good experience

Pros: Quick pick up and drop off

Cons: the car was damaged and too small for 3 people, without rear doors and a little space for luggage. Again, I had to pay a difference face to the booked type of car!

Cons: We had to wait 2 hours in line even if the I already booked the car online. Their system was given priority to the ones that didn’t have a booking

Pros: Speed

Cons: Rubbish car, wrong size

Pros: Avoid awful company

Cons: Avoid awful company

Pros: Service was okay

Cons: The car did have a lot of damage. Worst thing was a Goldcar employee speeding like hell with tourists around him at the airport where we collected the car.

Pros: Fast and efficient service

Cons: n/a

Pros: Everything was easy, but time spent to pick up car was very poor.

Cons: the time spent to pick up car.

Pros: Check in and check out very efficient

Cons: nothing

Cons: The car wasn’t ready despite me being over an hour late to pick it up. They didn’t even know I had paid a deposit on the car. The communication between Discover cars and Goldcar was nonexistent. I got charged €32 when it was probably only €5 short of being a full tank on return, and €11 for a non existent scratch on a wheel trim. I was disappointed with the quality of service from the staff and felt that I was just being forced to sign documents that were not clear.

Pros: I've used Golcar many times and see them as a reliable company.

Pros: Insurance super relax too expensive. I will check on other sites for the next time

Pros: Friendly and efficient

Cons: Drop off. Not so friendly and a little chaotic.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Our experience at the pick up was awful, the staff member tried to scamm us by refusing our French bank card for the insurance deposit saying goldcar only accepts credit card and saying ours was only a debit card. This was all false because we saw it written in your term and conditions that goldcar accepts debit and credit card (and French bank cards do both). He refused to try our bank card in the machine for an hour, refused for us to speak to a manager. He wanted us to pay 300 euros more

Pros: Nothing in particular

Cons: Ripping me off at a later date, see comments

Pros: Fast, polite and helpful service

Cons: None

Cons: Ich habe mein Auto nicht bekommen weil Goldcar einfach meine Kreditkarte nicht akzeptiert hat, obwohl diese gültig gewesen wäre. Die Gültigkeit der Karte wurde mir sogar von DiscoverCars bestätigt. Ich habe kein Geld zurückbekommen und kein Mietauto gehabt.

Cons: I had a stone slash front window which I doubt it happened during my use. But for which I had to pay the full cover. I recently had this with my private car in Belgium and the amount of reparation was much lower than the amount they do (+ 500,00 EUR) ... so I consider this an abuse - On my word I have not experienced the impact / I have nearly no milage with the car and I would have noticed an impact / impact is so small the staff needed to show it with a spotlight /could have existed already

Pros: They forced me to buy a full insurance , but than they bill also an upgrade not requested and even an other type of insurance. Stay away from this guys .Actually I notice online a lot of bad reviews!

Cons: They charge all the services they can even if not required, you must be really careful.

Pros: To Say this, i'm waiting to see if I get back my caution, as I gave the car back perfectly clean and without damage

Cons: One hour to pick up the car

Pros: Goldcar is a scam company.They dis not return my 1359 euros of deposit,they should be banned from discover cars

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything

Pros: Very pleased

Pros: Nothing in particular, just normal.

Cons: As said above, I booked the car with full insurance coverage including glass damage but still had to pay 428€ for damaged windscreen. There are no instructions on how to claim my money back. No insurance policy can be found in the emails sent by Goldcar/Discovery.

Pros: Friendly, no messing about, efficient and knowlegable

Cons: Nothing springs to mind

Pros: Nothing

Cons: option more than twice the value proposed by discovery car

Pros: Easy and fast drop-off

Cons: Staff at pick-up desk and service was very desappointed. No willingness to help despite unclear and incomplete information.

Pros: The promotion of the car respond at the reality.

Pros: Nothing só far

Cons: The car was old full of marks.

Pros: It’s my first time in Portugal and my experience with Goldcar was an excellent one that will be remembered for a very long time. Their terms and conditions was the best I got on the day ( user friendly). I will use the service again

Cons: Nil

Pros: Very efficient and helpful

Cons: Awful service, guy at the desk was great, but we defo got duped into the actual price of the car hire. Expected to pay £124 at the airport and ended up paying over £300. Appealing service, would not recommend

Pros: Quick drop off

Cons: Deposit card not accepted. Banged up, older car

Pros: Very efficient collection and drop off

Pros: Car was almost new and clean.

Cons: I didn’t get a car that was the equivalent of what I booked. A Dacia Sandero has a boot that is over 100 litres smaller than a Nissan Juke, and the car is not of equivalent build quality. The representatives at the reception desk tried quite hard to sell their damage insurance which was very expensive.

Pros: Condition and cleanliness of the car.

Cons: I was charged around £100 more (on arrival at Lisbon airport) than my online agreement. The chap at the Goldcar desk said that “This is because I used an intermediary rather than dealing with Golcar directly” What chance does the online customer have?

Cons: - the service desk was absolutely packed. I used the app to check-in and it made no difference - immediately after they took payment, I was told that there was a problem getting the cars ready because they were somehow stuck in a jam going up a ramp. I later found out the real issue was a shortage of staff which obviously meant much slower pickup times. Some folks had been waiting for two hours - the car itself was ok but I did have to call Road assistance as it refused to start

Pros: ease of location, easy to find

Cons: car was in poor condition, both physically and performance wise. gear box kept jamming, first gear difficult to engage and kept stalling

Pros: The staff

Cons: The car was asking for ignition check up.

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: See above.

Pros: Excellent advice and efficient staff.

Cons: Nothing at all

Pros: Easy to pick up on the airport perfect return

Cons: The agent and the explanation were not clear not to say tricky additionnal full coverage 260 euros ????Unacceptable

Pros: The pricing

Cons: The contracts and clauses, an the way the agents are talking to theirs customers. In future I will avoid this compagny

Pros: We got an upgrade

Cons: There was nothing to dislike

Pros: Goo price

Cons: Car offered to us had a puncture on collection, replacement car was untidy, lots of scratches and dents. Very uncomfortable and noisy. Passenger seat unable to adjust, had to sit on a cushion to see out of window and I am 5’7” . Sounded like shock absorbers had gone, as when reached speeds of over 80km/hr car shook and made a thudding noise

Pros: Not much

Cons: Car was given in poor overall condition,service overdue, no adBlue which I had to top,cracked windshield that wasn’t visibly marked on paper but on small print .road assistance wasn’t that assistive and even hang up the phone first time I contacted. My vehicle should’ve not even been given with a cracked windshield, and should’ve also been replaced as first sign of issue and that wasn’t even an offer. Only response I got was to email someone to sort the issue tho I’d to pay all in advance.

Pros: nothing... never ever

Cons: unfair service, the guy said to us they dont have cheaper cars but another guy in pickup have another opinion but we paid for this... loosing money for a trip for car rental and this horrible, lack of competence service, not able to print document because printer was destroyed then... not able to call to manager...

Pros: The professionalism of the recepcionist

Cons: Not returning the Debit Card Deposit, not replying to emails, contact center unable to help

Pros: D'expliquer et de venir aider le client quand ils ont une voiture on doit pas se démerder tout seul

Cons: Les salariés sont là pour qu'on prenne de l'argent supplémentaire on a beau leur dire qu'on a des contrats prix ils ne veulent rien savoir au guichet à la prise du véhicule et la restitution du véhicule aucune communication c'est horrible changer de loueur

Pros: nothing as they rip you off!

Cons: Absolute rip off merchants!!! Advertise the cheapest price and then charge you so many extras so actually its a complete false economy. Final bill even included young driver fee, under 25 yet we are 40!! Still fighting as they deduct from your card once youve left!

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Nothing

Pros: friendly service at the desk and pick up areas

Cons: Too expensive, with unexpected rates. I don't understand why the online platforms and the car rental companies can't be CLEAR about what is included or not in the rates

Pros: The staff was efficient and charming

Cons: The mandatory deposit of 1800 euros at pick up. The hassle to have to go through the very numerous dents and scraches/damages of the car at pick up.

Cons: 1 member of staff taking cars back, took forever!

Cons: When you got plenty of card available, low season,and when a client pop up one hour too early, make a commercial act and dont charge like crazy.

Cons: Do not hire from Discovercars, the insurance Terms & Conditions are terrible. If you read the fine print it says that their full coverage does not include for example liability/damages on a third party car. Scammers. Last time i rent from them

Pros: Cleanliness,

Cons: Good condition of the car

Pros: The office is in the airport, easy to access.

Cons: They gave me a key and sent me to find the car in the parking. The car was not there, the employee went himself to check, didn't find the car. He gave me another key and change my booking for another car. This took a while. This car didn't have the damage paper correct and I lost some time filling in this form and waiting for the employee to check. I rented the car for two days, on the second day, the car stopped working. It took a long time to restart it and I return it earlier. Bad experience.

Pros: Staff was very efficient

Cons: end up paying much more than what paid thru Discover based on insurance

Pros: By far the worst customer service I have seen in my entire life

Cons: By far the worst customer service I have seen in my entire life

Pros: Requested franchise is much too high (1600€) and obliges most of the consumers to take the insurance at a very high price as most of us do not have such a high limit on their creditcard (most of the time 1250€). It's a real scam and we won't take Goldcar ever again.

Pros: Lower ammount caution

Pros: rather fast service

Cons: the unpleasant reviews online scare people away

Pros: The people at the desk were very rude and not helpful

Pros: Friendly desk no pushy sales and good drop off

Cons: When we picked up the car the guy was really rude and didn't want to answer questions

Pros: Horrible and unwilling

Cons: Everything

Cons: Long wait times, no proper check and documentation of existing marks while picking the car

Pros: The Car rental company was named Surprice on the email header then subsequently renamed to Goldcar on the voucher. This caused unnecessary delays as we ended up being driven into Lisbon to a company who had no car for us.

Cons: The lack of support when the vehicle would randomly not start. The company would not resolve the issue as we were not stranded, as the car would eventually start after 20 minutes or so.The boot catch was dangerously loose. The car Media system required an Authentication code after it failed to start the first time. (no radio or sat nav thereafter).

Pros: Correct

Cons: Clear

Cons: Goldcar refused to accept my debit card despite it being stated it would be accepted on the booking voucher. After lots of to-fro, and the agent said it simply wasn't possible due to a change in Goldcar systems, they finally put through the transaction and allowed us to rent the car.

Pros: easy to find - fast dropp off

Cons: time spent to pick up the car

Pros: nothing

Cons: Really disapointed because the price proposed from the website isn't the real final price you have to pay. Offer details from Discovercars : I choose FORD transit for 117€ but give me FIAT Payments : Online payment to book the rent : 49€ Day of pick up : have to pay 67€ but at the rental agency I paid 210.59€ AND NOT 67€ Deposit : 179€ (104€ gas and 75€ motorway fee) 49€ + 210.59€ + 179€ = 438.59€ paid ! while the discovercars offered the car for 117€ with full coverage !!!

Pros: all hassle free

Cons: Nothing really to dislike

Pros: On this occasion the car that I was rented was fairly new therefore I felt it was better than previously.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Lots of scratches, 20km after driving the fuel tank drop one square ???? This supposed to be full tank.

Pros: Price and airport terminal availability were excellent points.

Cons: Unfortunately the Fiat Panda we rented failled on us 5x in less than 1500 kms. The check engine light came on and no engine power at all as I was driving on the motorway with my family and 2 kids under 3. I've rented other cars with Goldcar, like a Toyota Aygo and Micra before, but this Panda was a nightmare regarding reliability.

Pros: nothing

Cons: They tried to increase the cost of my rental from 50 Euros to 200 Euros at the desk. I walked away and did not hire the car.

Cons: Had to return the car after 1 day because because the engine light was on

Pros: They provided car at short Notice

Cons: After adding insurance on line I had to add a further €500 at desk

Pros: Quick and efficient check-in service in the airport terminal

Cons: Picking up the car took a long time and the process was a bit chaotic with cars double parked all over the placer and other cars practically hitting into us.

Pros: Nothing special

Cons: The extra fee I had to pay for the diesel car, was somewhere written in the t&c. And they will keep the deposit for 3 days after you return the car.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Worst customer service I have ever received in my life. Such disrespect and rudeness. Did not explain anything to me, was not clear, was aggressive when I asked questions, was rude to me the entire conversation. Over charged me as well and was not apologetic about it. Never again.

Cons: My experiences with the rental process and my subsequent conversations with Goldcar staff indicates a lack of attention to details at the location and discrepancies in your own record keeping. I have never ever received a treatment so negative and unfair.

Pros: The car was very nice and return was easy.

Cons: Goldcar was not transparent with me about the cost breakdown of my car rental; I declined insurance and they charged me for it anyway and refused to refund me after I realized this had happened. Their central customer service has not followed up with me after I contacted them.

Cons: They claimed I was responsible for a scratch UNDER the front bumper that I never heard happen while I was driving the car. The scratch could only be seen if on your hands and knees.

Cons: Goldcar has to be clear as to where to collect the car as there are numerous car rentals in Lisbon airport. I expected an agent to be at the airport and after 20 minutes an agent told me that Goldcar desk is located in the in the airport.

Cons: Spent a total of 1 hour and 11 minutes from the time I got in line at the desk until I was sitting in my car.

Pros: Easy check out at the end of the rental

Cons: Agent can’t found my previous payment, ask me to get additional insurance coverage not explained fully, agent mentioned that some amount can’t remember how much, will be on hold that I will get a credit back when I return the car, until now I don’t see that credit in my statement

Cons: Terrible, terrible experience. Representative told us we were required to spend at least 200 for insurance, when the voucher clearly said we did not need to buy additional insurance if we did not want to. When we tried to address this with the representatives, they told us to file a claim but would not facilitate a refund.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything, they are robbers we rented 2 cars with 2 separate persons and both of them had unexpected extras valuing around 200€ (wrong credit card even if it's a premier card and a scratch on the car that was badly recorded by one of the agents when we rented it). AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!!!

Pros: long waiting times for pickup and contract signature.

Cons: customer service is non-existent. lots of barriers imposed

Pros: I did not. It took more time to pick up the car than the 2 gour flight getting to the airport. Then the car had a broken seat lever so it took even longer to get a new car. The car I recieved was not as good as first car and I was not offered any discount for all the trouble.

Cons: Took forever. Problems with rental. No discount for troubles even mentioned.
