Goldcar at Lanzarote Airport

Pros: Good value. Car was powerful

Cons: Dirty interior. Understaffed pickup.

Pros: The car was okay once we found it . Easy to drop off.

Cons: Pressure from the man we collected it from to take our insurance we didn’t need .

Pros: Delay on completing paperwork on pickup due to only 1person on desk and queue of about 10 people.

Pros: Very cheap price, desk in the airport, very helpful and pleasant desk staff,

Cons: I bought this hire through Discovery Cars, but had no idea it was actually through Goldcar. So it was quite a long time getting nowhere until i noticed the Goldstar in small writing on the hire document. All good then!

Pros: At drop off there are people to check the vehicle.

Cons: Terrible slow at the rental office taking 50 minutes in a queue. Awful. The car had damage on every panel, including the roof! The rear lar el shelf was broken and only one support cord. I took a video as best as possible but it was difficult to get all round access due to the shelter above the car. I have never seen a car with so many areas of damage, and on every corner. With 49000 km on the clock the badly damaged body is very, very disappointing. Drives well, but only did .less than 80km.

Pros: Easy to book, affordable, located in airport

Cons: Queue to collect car took over an hour

Pros: the car had some marks and damage on it already when we collected it and the was some stains on the rear seats but overall this didn't affect us using the car and we were very happy with the service

Cons: none

Pros: Easy to find in terminal and girl was very efficient when returning

Cons: Not enough staff so took ages to be served, agent was pushy about taking extra insurance and made me feel very nervous about not taking it. Car was old with a lot of miles and a lot of damage.

Pros: Agents were professional and quite helpful

Cons: The cleanliness of the car was not great. We also had an issue with the door shutting alarm, to be fair they replace the car without problem but had to drive to the airport to pick the replacement up.

Pros: Nothing Rude and lacking in customer care

Cons: Everything Tried to charge €320 extra for insurance and was rude aggressive and we had to not take the car and get a taxi Ruined our trip

Pros: Price

Cons: Slow pick up. Only 1 agent and a cystomer with a problem taking 20 minutes. Multiple dents and scratches making verification and documentation difficult pre driving away

Cons: Except for having to wait 50 minutes (and others waiting in front well over an hour!) in the terminal to collect the car, everything fine as found previously with Goldcar.

Pros: The car pick up/drop off was fine, easy to find and the queue wasn’t very long, a 15 minute wait. A good price and the car was fine. Just be careful about specifying car drop off time, it seems the system defaults to the same time as pick up with no way to change this without taking the car back and rebooking another car. Some flexibility would be nice, I do understand that if the car is going out again on the same day there could be issues but they wouldn’t check, just a flat NO, be warned.

Cons: Although polite the inflexibility on extending the rental period by 3 hours seemed harsh! No checking to see if the car was to be reused on the same day, just a flat NO!!

Pros: Easy to find in car park and no fuss

Cons: Nothing all good

Pros: Polite professional quick pick up.

Cons: We had trouble finding the drop off location. No details on the paperwork of what car park to return the car to. Airport has poor signage for car rental return

Cons: Car bodywork very scratched when picked up but they questioned some of the marks on return. Fortunately had photos.

Pros: Staff are friendly and very quickly answer any questions you may have

Cons: Would have liked the car I asked for as I’m familiar with this car. Was given an alternative which was ok but disappointing.

Pros: Efficient staff quick pick up and return

Pros: Efficient

Cons: Returning vehicle was difficult

Pros: Very quick and efficient at the desk and Discover cars were very helpful in helping me give the details of my driving license and passport to the car hire company

Cons: Because our flight was late and picked up the car at 10.03 pm they charged us an excess of 40 Euros as they were supposed to shut at 10 pm. Three minutes late!

Pros: Collection receptionist very friendly and quick in processing paperwork

Cons: All good

Pros: Pick up was quick and easy and car was great

Cons: Would have rated higher but drop off was stressful because there were no spaces in the car park and no one around to hand keys to. Went into terminal building but queue was huge. Nearly missed flight trying to return keys

Pros: Friendly, helpful: not pushing extra insurance too heavily.

Cons: Long queue at desk for pickup

Cons: Overall it was perfect but I was charged at the end 34 Euros because the car was not "cleaned". I didn't know I had to clean the car before returning it

Pros: Same as above all worked as it should. The only problem was the length of time picking up the car.

Cons: Time picking up car.

Pros: Engine management light came on and went into limp mode - reset it by turning ignition on and off but occasionally it also felt as if the clutch had gone so had to double de clutch to activate until it sorted itself

Pros: Fast check in and fast check out

Cons: The car could have been cleaner, interior cloth was heavily marked

Pros: Very efficient check in with clear instructions on use of vehicle.

Cons: Poor explanation of where to pick up the car & more importantly the drop off, no signage on airport approach like there was prior to moving from the top car park to the lower level, I had to go through the car park twice resulting in a very small charge before being directed by a TUI rep how to get to the lower level.

Pros: Nice car & easy transaction.

Cons: Took out upgraded full insurance cover, but was still asked to upgrade further on car collection. When dropping car off I asked if they were going to check on condition but said no need as I had full upgraded insurance.

Pros: The Staff were excellent

Cons: The car this time was poor to look at, but did feel good mechanically.

Pros: Ease of finding desk

Cons: We were told we had to wait an hour or so for a small car but in the event ended with a bigger one. Attitude of our first encounter with staff was not as good as it should have been!

Pros: smooth operation from start to finish

Cons: our only gripe and a small one at that was that we had to exit the terminal to check in as and we wasted a bit of time before we realised this.

Pros: Efficient service, friendly representatives

Cons: Although car was perfectly serviceable, it had several dents (recorded) and wasn't clean

Pros: Quick and efficient staff

Cons: N/A

Pros: Awesome service and upgraded car

Cons: The internet booking platform making us get additional insurance which wasn’t any good. Not really gold cars fault.

Pros: Agent was very accomodating.

Cons: Length of time to refund credit card block for fuel and excess cover. Car was badly scratched all over meaning that it would be hard to tell if it had been further scratched whilst on our hire. I'd like to know why the rental companies, having presumably charged an excess for the cosmetic damage, never seem to repair it.
