Was told there were no petrol cars available and I would have to pay en extra €70 for a diesel (despite later reading in their own T&C's that there should be no charge in this case). Fortunately while I argued a petrol car was found.

Car was a right banger with that many scratches and dents I went back into airport to be shown the paperwork showing all the marks. Got told I needed to pay 8% tax on vehicle and airport tax. Cost me £152 and was told if I didn’t pay that the car hire would be void after 6 hours. So had a choice of either paying it or standing there for 6 hours then not getting car. I have since received £117 back for fuel. When picking up my mother in law asked a few different car hire companies about this tax and they said they had never heard of it. NEVER AGAIN WILL I USE GOLD CAR.

1 hour queue at the airport desk. Attempted to sell additional insurance Card machine took 3 attempts to take the 1230Euro deposit. Deposit taken twice from our credit card. No reply to any phone calls or e-mails we sent to the Goldcar Fuerta ventura office. Even their head office did not deal with our complaint.

Dislike: They forced me to hire an insurance even though I already had one
