Directions from arrivals to meeting point were poor. You don’t have to use the moving walkway, despite the instructions saying that you do! Also, we didn’t see any signs for ‘Otros VTC’. Staff at th... See more

Well they are quite unorganised and it is not helped by the clients bargaining and not speaking well neither English or Spanish so it's not their fault. Still I arrived early enough to not have too mu... See more

Disrespectful attitude to customer

Disrespectful attitude to customer. The person who we met was unable to tell us properly the rules of the assurance and could not answer our questions. He was so disrespectful. the service is awful, the office is in the middle of nowhere. The meeting point at the airport was not easy to find even though there is a long description on the contract because the sidewalks have changed and the company did not even bother to change the description.

AVOID DRIVALIA Alicante Airport

Rented car 5 days took back and the lady went over with a magnifying glass. Told me I had damaged an alloy! I accept I should have been more thorough when accepting car but it was 10pm and site was closing. Guy next to me livid just looks like a total scam to recover funds from hirers. The car had lots of dings and dents as well as a pretty badly damaged alloy. If everyone has paid their damage fees why is the car not 100% when you pick it up!!! That way if it’s damaged you are responsible!! TRIPLE check everything before you leave the site! They are out to get you and your money! I have hired 30+ cars in Alicante the ONLY issues I have ever had Drivalia and Gold Car. AVOID

I'm very satisfied

I'm very satisfied, despite all negative reviews. Rented via Sunny Cars and rental procedure went excellent, from pickup at airport to end of rental period and back to airport with shuttle again. All staff were friendly. Would rent again. :)

Credit card scam!!

Credit card scam!!! It seems to be a common theme of apparently not accepting credit cards or suggesting there is an issue with the credit card provider so that you HAVE to pay full coverage, which is quite frankly a full on SCAM.

Further more, we left something in the car only to be told it wasn't there when it categorically was. So I guess someone is walking around with a nice pair of sunglasses now.

I would also like to add that their own staff are adding reviews to try and boost the profile. If this isn't a scam, I don't know what is! Vlad Barbos, who is currently employed by Drivalia. Can't make it up!

DO NOT USE THESE GUYS!

5 Stars for Drivalia!

I had an car for 5 days for an really good price. The station is good to reach, and the people there are really friendly. Especially Ismael is a good guy!

These people are thieves

These people are thieves, avoid like the plague. I wish I’d read reviews before booking. We picked car up in torrential rain so had to inspect using torches on our phone, the car was already battered so previous renters had probably paid for damage that was never repaired. We drove straight to hotel, parked in secure underground car park and next used it to drive back to airport. On return they walked round and said damage under the front bumper. Damage obviously old and we would have known if we did this, it was split also, small marks on hubs (but NO scrape to tyre). They refused to acknowledge damage was obviously old and are charging for 3 scratches because we can’t prove they are old. This is a pattern reflected in other reviews, no doubt the damage has been charged to numerous previous clients and will be charged to many more. Luckily I have extra insurance via agent but this company are a bunch of crooks.

The credit card terminals at BCN…

The credit card terminals at BCN airport gave a chip error when trying to leave my deposit. I have 3 credit cards with 3 banks in the US with valid funds, all of which were denied. I was forced to purchase the expensive insurance or lose the booking. For the purchase, my cards worked, but the deposit did not due to their technical issue. There is a known issue with their credit card terminals, which are programmed by a third-party. (At BCN airport, Centauro has the same terminals and I had the exact same problem with them. I had no issues with Hertz, for example.) Drivalia need to investigate it and solve it, because they will have a problem with all US clients. It's not my cards. It's their technical problem, and I was penalized for it. It's not right.
