To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 78 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Customers frequently complained about unexpected extra charges, hidden fees, and steep deposit requirements demanded at the rental desk during vehicle collection. Many consumers also reported feeling pressured into purchasing expensive additional insurance policies despite having fully pre-paid coverage beforehand. Travelers routinely encountered frustrating waiting times, sudden booking cancellations, and unhelpful or aggressive counter staff members. Some reviewers were happy with friendly individual employees, efficient drop-off procedures, or prompt vehicle replacements when problems occurred. A few consumers appreciated receiving polite service during vehicle returns or experiencing smooth final inspections without major issues.

Rather their employees are incompetent or their system is designed to rip off customers. There is no possibility to pay the deposit by Debit Cards, nor Prepaid Credit Cards. They don’t even accept cas... See more

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The staff was very cooperative with everything.

The staff was very cooperative with a huge experience; simply the staff is very professional; I would like to give a special thanks to one of the staff I think his name was Alaa from Tunisia (I gave the car at about 12:00 pm on 16.11.2023); He helped me very; Thank you man and thanks for all. I very recommend GOLDCAR.
