Pressured into taking out full insurance

Long wait as computer system down. Staff were very pleasant.

Very annoying up-selling of insurances and other services by Gold Car staff at Bordeaux airport.

Take a ticket and join a long queue, then charge extras left right and centre. A rip off.

Over 40 minute wait to be seen at the counter. Aggressive selling techniques even after explaining I had already brought insurance. Wanted to charge me a extra €200 for their insurance. Scare tactics when I refused. Car was cleaned on the outside. Filthy windows. Nobody to check the car over with.

Website was easy to navigate. Good price.

The car was very beat up and the guy handing over the keys said he didnt cxare what state it was brought back in. The car stunk of spilt alcohol and there was a hole in the front divers carpet. It drove okay although there was no radio reception. Later found that the aerial had been broken off. Next day with my wheels turned outwards I realised the two front tyres were badly worn and probably illegal. I looked in the boot for the spare, but there was none. I could not find any details on the booking paperwork for a number to phone. Very disappointed, the rental was not cheap but I was given a third rate /unroad worthy car
