Renting a car in Europe is actually quite convenient, as long as you have all the necessary documents, the process is very quick. However, the rental office may upsell insurance and vehicle upgrades. Personally, I think buying full insurance at the rental office is necessary when traveling abroad—it’s more convenient than dealing with claims back home after an accident abroad. So I purchased it. As for the vehicle upgrade, since the available upgraded model was the new Mercedes C200D, and as a car enthusiast, I couldn't resist choosing it. Overall, spending money always feels worth it.

Good

The store has two counters, there were no other customers in front of us, so my friend and I processed at the same time, very efficient and good service.

The paperwork took an hour. Initially, they said there was no automatic transmission available, then they gave me a diesel Renault. The problem with this big car was that I couldn't drive it out of the parking lot, so I had to come back and exchange it. It was quite a hassle. Even though I had already bought full insurance, they still made me buy insurance. Since I don't understand Spanish, they said it was a deposit that would be refunded. I was with my child, so I signed it. Later, when I asked the rental company, they confirmed I already had full insurance. Just a reminder, do not sign if the amount doesn't match when you pick up the car!

The return office was closed and we were sked to drop off the key in a box. This leaves the customer feeling insecure as the vehicle isnt checked for scratches etc.

The process was painless
