Sin duda estupendo!!

Overall satisfied, depends on luck. Most staff are very nice, but the first lady I encountered had a bad attitude.

We arrived three hours earlier than our original pickup time (booked for 11:00 AM, but we got there at 8:00 AM). The staff first asked if we wanted to purchase additional full insurance. I said we already had it, and then they informed me that the car I booked wasn’t available. They suggested switching to another car but asked for an additional cost of nearly 200 euros. I declined and was then told I had to wait for the full three hours. I suggested an earlier pickup and return, but they flatly refused. Even at 10:50 AM, when I proposed handling the paperwork and waiting until 11:00 to pick up the car, they still refused, claiming the keys weren’t delivered yet and insisted that I wait until exactly 11:00 AM, not a minute earlier. However, the keys didn’t arrive anyway, and the car wasn’t even the model I originally booked. It felt like they were trying to punish me for not purchasing additional insurance or upgrading. They kept emphasizing compliance with the rental contract terms, even claiming that me standing in front of their store affected their work. It was ridiculous! Such a large space, yet they were clearly being deliberately difficult. I’ve rented cars many times both domestically and internationally, and this is the first time I’ve ever encountered something like this. While they technically had the right to do so, it showed a lack of basic decency. (Additionally, the rental introduction mentioned a €16 charge for driving into Portugal, but they actually charged €30. I plan to resolve this with the rental platform.)

Transparent pricing with no hidden charges; good value for money.

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.

Both pickup and return went smoothly, but two weeks after returning the car, I noticed an inexplicable charge of 60 euros for fuel and service fees. I immediately sent the return report and fuel receipt to the rental company, but it's been over ten days and still no resolution. Not sure if this is personal deceit by the staff or an intentional act by the rental company.
