A misrepresented ripoff, insurance excess of euro32,000 is nothing but a scam.

The car rental customer service was a Spanish lady who tried to sell me additional insurance. Despite me showing proof that I had already purchased full coverage, she refused to look at it and exaggeratedly claimed, 'What you bought is yours, what I recommend is mine. If you didn't buy it...!' We firmly and repeatedly emphasized that we would not purchase additional insurance. We resolutely said NO! Then she got a bit angry and ignored me. After a standoff, I asked if I could get the car keys. She responded that it wasn't 3 PM yet, which was my scheduled pickup time. So, I stepped back a few steps, waited for a few minutes, and received a pickup note or possibly a contract. She vaguely pointed to the side with her hand. I assumed I had to get the keys from the neighboring window, but the lady at the neighboring window told me to go to the parking lot at the back to get the car! Apart from the unpleasant experience with the insurance upselling, everything else was fine. If I had accepted her insurance offer, the total cost would have reached 600 Euros, which is double the price!

This was an extremely poor car rental experience, full of various traps. It's not my first time renting a car abroad, but I've never seen such shameless behavior from a rental company. They insisted on having two credit cards, and since I forgot to bring the second one, they downgraded my car, which would have been acceptable. However, they charged a 350 euros car swap tax and said I had to buy a 400 euros full insurance unless I paid the tax. This is coercive insurance selling. And it didn't end there. When returning the car, they told me the 400 euros was before tax, and there was an additional 20% tax. Rentalcars.com, please evaluate if this is reasonable process and fair charge. To all future customers, don't be fooled by international brands. If Hertz continues like this, they will eventually be overtaken by competitors. Rentalcars.com also has some responsibility in the choice of suppliers. I suggest terminating cooperation with Hertz in Madrid to ensure customer interests. If a middleman loses customer trust, where is the competitiveness? Additionally, I reserved a specific model, but a month before the trip, they notified me unilaterally that they could only provide a similar class. After complaints, they agreed to provide the specific model. I strongly doubt they even had my reserved model available that day.

Car pickup was very fast

It took some effort to find the drop-off location. See the comments below. The drop-off was okay, I guess.

The service was great. They gave us a two categories higher car without extra charge because the requested was not available. The counter at the ibiza airport gives priority to the arrived flights versus clients that are already at the island (3 employees on one side, none on the other). That annoyed us but after complaining one employee helped us.
