Used this bunch of crooks at Murcia airport, when l didn,t take their extra insurance, lo and behold a scruffy car, told them. I photographed the whole car, on return they gave me an e mail saying car was ok, next thing they charged me 20 euros for a missing radio antenna,I knew nothing about.total bandits, don,t go near.

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 t...

...he 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.

How are they still going..... there are literally hundreds of complaints on this site alone about them.... It seems that if you take out their high insurance you are OK..... but whoa betide you if you use another companies policy.... the warning is that cheap is not cheap with Gold....DON'T USE THEM!
