It was alright. I had booked a Polo but was given a Mitsubishi SUV. Although I wanted a Polo, the SUV felt too large for driving in Barcelona since many parking lots are quite small. If you're not an experienced driver, it's really hard to manage. The front desk lady tried to convince me that the Polo was too small and that one of my two large suitcases would have to be placed on the back seat, which she claimed is illegal in the EU. She suggested that I upgrade to a bigger car. I ignored her, but in the end, they just gave me the Mitsubishi SUV anyway. Clearly, it was just a way to make more money by telling lies.

The staff were quite friendly. They asked if I needed additional insurance, and when I declined, there were no delays in processing. The paperwork was completed quickly. The vehicle inspection was thorough, and they proactively pointed out existing damages on the car, and coordinated a replacement if the car was not in good condition. Initially, I had booked a 5+2 car but was given an Audi A5. The car was great, but it couldn't fit five people plus luggage, so I had to go back to the counter to change the car. The exchange went smoothly. (Though, if I booked a seven-seater, why did they first give me a five-seater?)

They try to upsell you to a better car, just say no.

The service was very patient. Mr. Santiago-Lopez at the Atocha train station counter gave us a detailed explanation of the car rental details and terms, and recommended a more comfortable model, which is commendable. A tip for fellow renters: there are fewer car options at the train station compared to the airport, so the selection is limited. However, you can rest assured that you will get a car.

Took ages to get a car as it was not ready, poor arrogant service, understaffed front desk, still did not get a deposit of €300 back. Hotline impossible. Never again.
