Seat rental in Spain

The reservation was made with Alamo, but they are actually partnered with Europcar. I've booked cars through them several times, and their service is very professional. Although we booked a category of vehicle like a Renault Scénic, I was worried that it might be a bit tight for five people plus luggage. However, seeing that we had a larger group and more luggage, the staff provided us with a much larger car than the one we booked. Many thanks to the kind employee!

Pretty good

Quite satisfied. The selected car model was not available at pickup, but they offered two options, and I chose the FORD PUMA small SUV. It had over 60,000 kilometers on it but looked very new. I informed the staff that I had already purchased insurance domestically, and they didn’t object. Everything is digital now; you just confirm and sign on a PAD, and they'll send an email to you. An additional deposit of 200 euros was charged. There are two points to note: First, the pickup time depends on the actual time you go to handle the paperwork. If your original return time aligns exactly with a full day, you’ll be charged for an extra day, so make sure the staff adjusts the return time accordingly. Second, the car doesn’t come with a full tank, and you don’t need to return it with a full tank, but the fuel level must be higher than at pickup. This can be tricky to manage—I ended up adding fuel worth a dozen euros more, and it wasn’t refundable. The deposit was returned within two to three days after the car was dropped off.

Initially, we were given a new 7-seater Sorento with 1300 kilometers at Atocha. It had all the features and was easy to drive, but it was uncomfortable for six of us. After discussing, we found that only the airport had an Optima available. So, I drove the Sorento to the airport to exchange it for the 75000-kilometer Optima. The car was in decent condition, no insurance sales pitch, and the exchange process was smooth. Overall, a good experience!
