the car was fine but very small Engine for a five seater family car. 1.2L struggled with motorways

ACE in Bordeaux is Gold Car, a company I avoided, despite being cheaper, due to its very poor reviews. It took over 2 hours to collect the car. Car received had class 1 damage, with very few panels not damaged. Drop off took around 15 mins. Gold Car have offered compensation for delay, before I have complained, of 1 days rental. However, my final invoice has shown no credit. We shall see.

Onduidelijk

Over 40 minute wait to be seen at the counter. Aggressive selling techniques even after explaining I had already brought insurance. Wanted to charge me a extra €200 for their insurance. Scare tactics when I refused. Car was cleaned on the outside. Filthy windows. Nobody to check the car over with.

Website was easy to navigate. Good price.

We waited over an hour and despite booking with ‘Ace’ we were with Goldcar. When we got seen, it took 20 minutes for the rep to find us a suitable car and then I was told the deposit on my credit card was a lot higher than I had expected and exceeded my credit limit. I therefore had to pay an extra €118 for the Super Relax Cover, thus doubling the hire charge. Not a pleasant experience.

It was fine.

We have used several times. Due to this and our yearly car hire excess insurance, we no longer get the hard sell for own car rentals unnecessary insurance which we have found stressful with other companies. The car was very clean and in excellent condition.

Price drop protector was really good - we did pay less than initial booking price. Would definitely use again.
