Goldcar car hire

I would suggest, unfortunately there are rogue people/businesses everywhere, it is not confined to Spain.

Do not let this incident sway your view of a whole country.

We have had cause to rent a car on two occasions during the past eighteen months. For both (Enterprise) we made the arrangements from Canada to pick up the car at Madrid Airport and drop off at their Cadiz location. Both rentals went without incident or unexpected charges, fuel had just to be left where it had been showing on the gauge when the car was collected in Madrid.

Best of luck with your future visits/stays.

Hi , we have always hired from Goldcar. It's not just that company, my brother has just come to see us in Chiclana and had the same issue.  When booking a car just pay basic amount  on line, when you get to the desk you get offers sometimes  free second driver, upgrade or even full insurance at half price.

Insurance has to be taken out on Spanish soil to be valid,  if you take out on line or your own , you will still get card blocked for 1200 euros.
