Broker to rental experience is disjointed and feels engineered to take your money for insurancecover

Upon pick up, I was informed I would not be handed the keys unless I paid for extra insurance. This was not advised to me at any process of the car rental portion. I ended up paying over $500 more for the car than initially told. Not once was I advised about this.

Everything worked out well. The only catch is a large deposit.

Perfect.

Car was dirty (but you can return dirty as well - so no problem). Its really hard to find pickup point on Cagliari airport. Instead of Fiat 500 we received Pegueot 208 (its still the same car class). Please remember to check vehicle condition because not all of scratches, dents and windscreen dents was included in car documentation prepared by the rental company.

I have rented cars multiple times, however, it has always been through Avis/Hertz/EuropCar. This has been the first time I rented Gold Car and experience was a breeze. Collected the car in 15 minutes flat from Florence Airport. Car Drop-Off process took no more than 10 Minutes - Francesco at Gold Car Drop Off was really helpful and quick. The car condition was excellent and as good as new. Just awaiting refund of the deposit/authorisation. Once that comes through, will leave a detailed review. Have been advised that the refund takes about 2 weeks time.

Goldcar is a FRAUD. My credit card did not work, so to allow my partner's card, they made us buy some kind of extra insurance for 2 times more than we initially spent, which also included full insurance...
