22 Car Rental Brands in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

Overall pretty good. They suggested upgrading the car model and additional insurance, but didn't push further after refusal.

The car rental company was overall acceptable. However, when returning the car, the staff specifically checked the underside of the car by hand and claimed there was a scratch, charging 70 euros for it. That area is typically not inspected during pickup, so it was hard to explain the reason. It felt like an unavoidable situation. Fortunately, I applied for insurance reimbursement, and QEEQ assisted promptly in handling it.

Pretty good, they didn’t try to upsell insurance. However, they didn’t check the car during the return process. Even though I clearly refueled the tank before returning, they still charged me over $10 for fuel. The amount wasn’t much, so I didn’t pursue it further. Still, it would be better if they conducted a clear inspection during the car return.

AVIS, as one of the leading global rental companies, engaged in deceptive practices during the car return process. They altered the return time and charged nearly 90 euros for a full tank of fuel despite the car being returned with a full tank. Thankfully, I kept the fuel receipt and dashboard photo from before the return, which allowed me to get the money refunded.

Overall very satisfied. QEEQ sent email reminders before crucial steps like pick-up and return, highlighting key issues to pay attention to, which deserves a big thumbs up!

This was the worst car rental experience I've ever had. I waited for the pick-up service for one and a half hours. The process took 40 minutes, and the car I received was not the same class as the one shown online. The most outrageous part was when I returned the car; they tried to blame me for various small damages that were already there. Fortunately, I found photos on their phone showing the car's condition from previous customers, so they had nothing to say. Returning the car still took 30 minutes, and we almost called the police. My €500 deposit has not been returned yet. Can't believe this company is highly rated.

The company enforced the purchase of full insurance, which I didn't appreciate. It was my first time renting an electric car, and charging it was very inconvenient—sometimes it took several hours to fully charge. Goldcar's customer service was poor. They mentioned free parking for electric cars but only stated that it applied to blue zones when asked, without explaining that you need to display a receipt on the windshield. As a result, I received a fine. I wanted to pay the fine myself, but the rental company charged a €50 management fee first and then told me to handle the payment on my own. Additionally, I accidentally drove into another country for two hours and was charged €105 without prior warning from the rental company. They did not inform me in advance that crossing into other European countries would incur a fee. Rules are strictly enforced abroad, and accidental mistakes are not accommodated.

I booked a Mercedes B-Class for 307 RMB, but I received a Link electric car and was forced to pay an additional 71 Euros plus a 148 Euro deposit. Do you have no conscience in forcing these charges? Does this rental service have any moral principles left? Renting a regular electric car and telling me it's an upgraded Mercedes?

I actually went to a HERTZ store. I had an appointment to pick up the car at 9 AM, but since no one answered the phone when I called the store, I was worried they might not actually be open, so I ended up arriving around 10 AM. The staff member at the store initially told me that I was late and wanted to charge me a delay fee. Later, she mentioned I needed to purchase a €100 insurance but didn't explain it clearly with patience, just informed me about it and emphasized it was not mandatory. She said the email order she received didn't mention insurance, and when I showed her the reservation sheet, she didn't check it and simply replied, 'I don't understand,' before returning all my documents and asking me to contact customer service myself. After observing for a while, I noticed she spent quite a bit of time explaining this issue to the next two customers, but at least she gave them more detailed information than she did to me. Finally, at around 11:30 AM, I got the car, thanks to the timely callback from the customer service team at Zuzuche, who communicated with her again, and she finally clarified that the insurance was just being mentioned as an option.
