A male attendant at collection, challenged my booking done via yourselves and in disagreement with my understanding of the terms and conditions was extremely rude. He SWORE at me in French on several occasions, assuming I could not understand him as the conversation was being held in English. A female colleague took over and sorted everything ou for me on this occasion. The could not give me the Citroen C4 that I had requested. The return of the vehicle was very smooth.

Goldcar at Toulouse Airport fell very short of our expectations. The lady at the Goldcar desk had only one mission, and that was to get us to buy extra insurance. I politely advised her that since I held an Excess Car Insurance policy I felt I was fully covered and did not need anything extra. She was insistent that this would not be enough and that without a payment of at least €138 (more than the cost of the car hire itself!) we would be worse off. She used the most incredible scaremongering tactics to try and get us to buy into the unnecessary insurance. In 30 years of hiring cars I have never experienced such dreadful and unprofessional behaviour at a car rental company. The pick-up process took a very long time as the lady went on and on about how much we'd have to pay if we didn't take the extra insurance. She was clearly annoyed that we did not take her "advice". The whole experience was dreadful. I would not have expected to deal with a company like Goldcar having booked my rental car via EasyRentCars.

On arrival to collect the car I was told incorrectly that I had no insurance and had to buy some. This was incorrectly sold to me as I had basic insurance. I tried to cancel but was told to contact them directly which I was unable to. Plus the pin card machine didn't work so an additional amount was debited to my card as a "holding deposit" in case I returned the car without a full tank of petrol. So basically 212 euros later I was able to get on my way. Very unhappy with how the man on the desk lied about the insurance. I am still waiting for the deposit to be credited back again.

Car had quite a few damages, some of which weren’t listed but staff happy to review before we took the car. Still waiting for deposit to be returned- staff advised it could take up to a week which is quite a long time to be out of pocket more than a thousand euros, especially when it was only a small car we hired for 4 days.

A bit strange that AXA insurance documents in Hong Kong dollars, given that we paid in GBP and euros. Unable to give an accurate idea of deposit amount which left us unprepared at the desk.

Wouldn't take my credit cards and asked for debit card deposit. Then was told that fees and conversation rates would almost equal upgraded insurance and that I might as well upgrade insurance. Seems dodgy...
