Just arrived back in Mojacar via Alicante airport. On hiring a car from Gold Car I got an extremely over the top hard sell for extra insurance. Even though I had taken insurance from "Do You Spain" plus had also extra excess in Ireland the sales pitch continued. I throught I eventually convince the agent that I did not want extra insurance I paid for petrol and signed for payment. When I was picking up the car it was dirty and in a terrible condition which I poited out to the Gold attendent in the parking lot. She told me not to worry that I had full insurance taken out at a cost of €200 plus. Went back to the terminal desk to seek my money back. The cleck I had dealt with previously was gone so spoke to another cleck. Again another big argument on insurance and the only satisfaction I got upgrade to a nice nee car and her email address to email her next time and she would give me a good deal on insurance. I feel that Gold Car stole my money and would like to warn people of their tactics. If you have a similar experince I would like to hear from you.
There are hundreds of warning posts on various social media. Well known for their underhand tactics

It is all very simple, Gold Car wants everybody to use their insurance because in case of any damage they dont like to deal with all kind insurance companies.
So next time book thru do you spain but do not use their insurance instead take the goldcar insurance and also it is better to book direct a full insured deal with goldcar they will then give you a far better car. never had any problems that way and for cheapdeals go local
