Over 2 hours to collect a badly damaged car

Counter staff tried to pressure me to buy additional insurance which I had already purchased in the uk. I was also told that if the car broke down or I was involved in an accident there was no breakdown or recovery included in the rental. In her words ‘ you are on your own’. The car had a lot of dents and scratches and the interior was dirty. The woman in the pick up cabin was not interested in helping me to identify all of the damage on the car bodywork when I collect the car.

Absolutely terrible. Non trained employees. I was told the car is not insured at all and it took me 45 mn to get the keys.

Just the usual upselling tactics at the desk

No issues with the car however despite already requesting on two occassions I'm still awaiting a copy of my return paperwork and deposit. I took the opportunity to inspect the car thoroughly along with the car hire company representative present and it was confirmed that no damage was observed. The paperwork was completed on an ipad at 20:30hrs on Sunday 2nd June and I signed and confirmed my email. I was then notified by the attendant I would receive a copy confirming the car had been returned in an acceptable condition. Disappointingly I have yet to receive a copy of the signed paperwork. The attendant also informed me it would take 7 days to return the deposit to my credit card. I emailed Easyrent and they have sent an emil to the car hire company but I'm still waiting.

It was not clear Ace was part of Goldcar. Felt completely mislead, that we had booked a car for a certain price, but when we got there we had to either put down a deposit over €1000 on a credit card (that we couldn’t do) or pay insurance of over €120. We were told by the rude desk staff that it was in the small print and we should read them better. It was mis- selling and we will never use you again. I actually want compensation as I’m so angry and it ruined our trip.
