Volkswagen car rentals in Madrid

Beware the insurance scam. Declined the coverage on kayak and they still added it back in at the rental counter. Had to fight with Thrifty to remove it.

My experience with Thrifty and Kayak was beyond disappointing. I booked a one way trip with a minivan from the Orlando airport as our family’s flight was canceled. After waiting in a long line, the agent (who refused to provide his name) told us that there were no more minivans available and that they only had four seat sedans. I reiterated that we booked a minivan because there were six members of our family. He said we could probably seat five in the sedan, but then became very rude and borderline hostile when I said that wouldn’t be possible because there were six of us. I asked if he could tell me the cost of a second vehicle and he said he couldn’t. Additionally, prior to arriving at the airport a family member had called both Kayak and Thrifty to confirm we’d be able to modify the drop off location from Boston to the Savannah airport and was told that was possible at the rental counter. When I asked the man at the rental counter he said that was not possible and that I had to modify this with Kayak. I, as well as family members tried calling Kayak multiple times from the counter and the calls were either dropped or we were told to use the website. When we went to the Kayak website to modify the drop off location, we all kept getting errors saying the reservation couldn’t be found. Needless to say, the experience was incredibly stressful, unfriendly, and inoperative for our family’s needs. I am still working on receiving a refund for the money I was charged for insuring the car I never rented. Our family spent nearly $1000 on an Uber to drive the 4 hours we needed the car rental for - a cost that should be reimbursed by Kayak. What an incredibly unacceptable experience trying to use Thrifty through Kayak - a family of six (including children) were left stranded with no options for a resolution.

Everything went fine. Great car and a good price. The return was only made difficult due to roadworks around the car yard.

Amazing customer support front desk and great shuttle service. Good cars. Will rent again for next trip.

Terrible company to rent from. My little trip only cost me £15 for the renting of the car. They have a shuttle bus that picks you up from the airport and take you to the office up the road. They asked me to pay an additional £1248 for deposit, excess and fuel. Up front they take that out your bank account instantly not put it on hold. I had paid the deposit and fuel costs £248 and then had to pay the £1200 excess. I told them to just leave it and not bother. Got the refund but was about £10/£15 less than what I paid

Far too expensive with the added costs we only knew about when we turned up to pick up the car

A Disingenuous company who didn't mark up all the damage to the tired car they gave us, refused to update the damage report, refused to look at the car on return and then charged us 450 euros for damage we didn't do. We used them because they were cheap. If you use them make sure you check the car and get their agreement prior to driving away, but if I were you I would use a more reputable company. we will never use them again.

Long que waited over 45 mins for pick up. Vehicle had so much damage - and not cleaned.

Pick up process is incredibly complicated. They make you wait in queue to go up to the counter where they confirm your information only to be told to go fill in your document information at a kiosk. You then have to wait again to back to the same counter once you’ve filled all the information in. I did not like how this agency takes a fuel deposit, this was not mentioned anywhere prior to hiring the car.

The agency not in the airport, we had to wait for a shuttle like more than 20min. Then we they would not allow my driver to pick up the car. The lady at customer service is snubby. I wasted 180Euro for nothing. Not recommended.

When I picked up the car, I was told that office will be open until 11pm for drop off. When I dropped off my car around 10.45pm, I was told that no extra charges will be added since car is undamaged and fuel tank is full. But later when I reviewed the invoice and my credit card, I was charged extra €40 without my consent and knowledge for “After hours drop off fee”. I clearly didn’t do any after hour drop off so felt like a scam pulled by this company!

The rent did not happen. The pick up location was wrong ( not my mistake)

I paid for my car rental in advance, when I arrived I was told I needed to pay an additional €238. Wish I had gone with enterprise who were only £10 more expensive than the original price and had no hidden costs!!! Car was also damaged all over and had clearly had water damage on all the seats that had no been cleaned. In the extra they made me pay they said it included their flexi drop off which meant I didn’t need to fill the tank up. I returned the car with over 3/4 of a tank left and have been charged and additional €20 as a fine for this!! Absolute joke, will never use gold car again!!

Very easy pickup and drop-off. Shuttle bus service was great even if directions weren't especially clear. At the time of booking I selected the luxury SUV, Kia Sportage or equivalent. I got an MGZS which is significantly smaller, lacking in any kind of luxuries, I couldn't connect my phone and it had no sat nav. The car seriously struggled up hills and I had to drive up a lot of them. I don't expect to get the exact make and model of car they use to demonstrate the class of vehicle but I don't expect quite such a downgrade and would not have booked through them if I had known

The agent who helped me (Javier) was excellent!!!! The car was dirty (back seat specially).

Bilen var fin men hvorfor står der ingen steder at man skal betale for en forsikring hos udlejningen igen?

Pick up and drop off very well coordinated!
