Cons: Car broke down and took them one and half days for the problem to be resolved leaving my wife, two little kids and myself stranded in a 200 people town for two days and unable to enjoy the ski trip that we had booked and paid.

Awful customer service
Pros: Absolutely nothing.
Cons: They were not able to refund me for six days of prepaid rental that I didn’t need. The service was terrible. The kid who gave us the keys told us to drive thru the barrier at the airport. Insurance is completely unaffordable

Rough customer service - buy your insurance online!
Pros: Easy to book online
Cons: When we arrived to pick up our car the agent didn’t speak English well, which was completely fine, but he opted to sign us up for the most expensive insurance and prepaid gas without asking. After taking my card he handed me a receipt for nearly 500 euro for our $60 rental. When I asked about alternatives he just tried to keep up selling us with veiled threats. We cancelled and rebooked with Enterprise where the service was honestly incredible and we booked our insurance online minutes in advance. I’m still waiting to see if he actually cancelled.

Outstanding service!!!
Pros: Fratern, from Barcelona’s airport, was extremely helpful and accommodating during my pick up of the car. It is a joy to find hardworking people with a service attitude. He should be commended for his efforts. Thank you very much!!! The car was in great shape, clean and almost brand new. We had no trouble at all driving it from Barcelona to Madrid, with stops at Cartagena, Granada and Cordoba. Following the speed limit is important since there are speed radars (cameras) in highways and cities, and for what I’ve heard the fines are pretty hefty. We declined insurance since we booked the car online and got the insurance from a different company. The final price for the rental was the same as quoted, and we think it was a great value for our money. It was our first time renting a car in a foreign country, and it was a great experience. We recommend this service 100%

Hertz went above and beyond
Pros: We had initially rented a manual Fiat 500 but when we got to the rental desk, the Hertz employee gave us a brand-new (18 kms on the odometer), semi-automatic, fully-loaded (leather seats, navigation), Fiat 500S. We had signed up for the most basic and cheapest car and we ended up with a pretty decent one in the same class, and there was no added cost to us. The unlimited kms were very good for us as we did about 1850 kms of driving over the 8-day rental period. Pick-up and drop-off were quick and easy. The entire experience was enjoyable.
Cons: My only issue, and this has nothing to do with Hertz, is how weak the engine of the Fiat 500 was. We had quite a bit of trouble keeping up with the European traffic on the highway. Driving on the very hilly landscape of Spain made some parts of the highway near impossible to climb without losing much speed. Other than that, it was a very enjoyable rental.

Average service for a famous brand
Cons: At Barcelona Airport the car was not ready. We waiting for two hours and they gave us bigger car than we booked in advance. The clerk was pushing insurance on us and I think we pay more for rent than we got the online quote. On the first tank of gasoline, we made 500 km but on next two 700 km. It looks like they didn't fill the tank at first.

Pros: Super friendly staff! New car with lots of useful tech.
Cons: Not at all the car I ordered - A Hyundai is NOT a BMW. Hidden charges ($30 airport fee) and add-ons I didn't ask for (second driver, windscreen protection) almost doubled the price before I complained and they dropped some of them. Beware before signing.

Pros: Rental van was in great shape - very clean.
Cons: The location refused to honor the rate we had been provided by CarRentals.com via Kayak, despite my showing them the booking details, etc. Given that we had five people waiting to get into the car & proceed on our trip we had essentially no choice but to pay three times the price we were expecting.

Worst rent a car ever
Cons: On the spot, when added insurance price was 2.2x more than initially communicated Car given was not the one reserved,but Hyundai that had some strange features that caused flat battery and left us without the car for half a day ( of course when most needed) Emergency service from Hertz that was the actual provider behind the Dollar, acted very slowly and fairly unprofessionally. End result was waiting for 3 hours in the garage for them to come with cables and start the engine. At that time they gave us instructions that should be initially communicated.

Cons: At the check-in I was informed that as the rental was done via a USA based agency and that I was using an EU based credit card and drivers licence , that I was Absolutely OBLIGED to take their full insurance... otherwise the rental would not be honored. This despite I already have a good policy with both my own car and via my gold credit card. The insurance was more than the rental. I feel lied to by Kayak , Europcar, and whatever middle-man you sub-contracted via.

Pros: The car we ended up getting was fine.
Cons: We paid for a mustang convertible or similar but when we got there they considered a fiat 500 comparable. Then there only Other option was a VW bug convertible, in our minds going on a costal vacation and paying for an upgrade neither of those cars compared. Very unfortunate and put a damper on our trip

I have had better experiences
Pros: Friendliness of staff.
Cons: There are two terminals at BCN and I had reserved at #1, but picked up at #2. They told me they didn't have any small cars like I wanted. I could have gone back to terminal #1 and gotten the original car, buty ended up with a much larger and more expensive car. They should coordinate between the two terminals. They didn't inspect the exterior of the car when I picked up, but did when i returned it. This could have been a problem though it wasn't.

Pros: Was a little fast
Cons: Trying to sell this company everything. They don't go with you to check the car. They tell you the car don't have scratch and when you go to check the car have some scratches also they tell you where the car is park and you don't see the car is park in different place. They charge you for everything

long wait/nice car
Pros: I liked the car. The drop off was fast
Cons: Although there was only one person ahead of me, the wait took too long. If you reserve a car ahead of time, it should not take so long.
