The car resembled a banger and was unfit for hire!

I had read some bad reviews before travel so made sure we thoroughly checked the car for damage. We took photos & amended the damage sheet. When we arrived back the car was quickly checked over & there were no issues

Came up with a great price & everything was easy to navigate & book. After booking we discovered some awful reviews for the car hire company but in our case everything turned out OK.

We looked for Rhodium and Easyrentcars but couldn't see them. We had to ask at another desk who pointed us to 'Gold'. Not sure which company we used, or which was responsible for what. The booking form promised a VW Transporter (ie an empty van) but the rental desk said could either have a choice of minibuses. As the seats folded down, this was ok. Because of the size of the vehicle, the man said it would be ok to return to Level 0, so as not to bother driving round the sharp bends to Level -2. However, the lady at the returns office said no, they needed it returned to level -2. Apart from that, all was good.

Car was all we expected.

When I arrived to collect the car there were no signs for Rhodium Car Hire. Eventually I was told by a stranger that they were actually Goldcar. If I had known I would have to deal with Goldcar I would not have made the booking. They are the worst company in Spain. Because I never took their extortionate insurance they managed to find 2 small scratches on the car when I returned it. They have charged me E500.00 to repair them. The work to fix them would only require 10 minutes of polishing and they were probably there in the first place but because the car was freshly waxed and polished I could not see them. I travel to Spain very regularly and this is the first time I have used the new Murcia airport so my choice of car hire was limited. In future I will use Alicante airport and go back to car hire companies that I know I can trust.

No queue surprised to find it was the same as goldcar who I planned to avoid
