The worst company ever. My booking was cancelled after being accepted and having an email confirming the car. Cancelled while i was in the plane and 1 hr before my arrival to spain. Had to book another car more expensive. Watch it to all - this company is a scam…. I have even paid 20% of the rental that has still not been paid back….. my recommendation is never to use it.

Car pick up in Malaga AiroortThe car was very nice and new.Woman showing us to car was awful! I rented the car and did contract at airport, but she would only speak to my husband. Very odd, to only speak to males. I ask to take her name to speak to manager and she took off her name tag and wouldn’t show it to me. I told her I’d take her photo then and she tried to grab my camera. Bizarre! Be careful women! Also did not have car size reserved and had to pay more to upgrade.
2.0 Mediocre16 Oct 2017
Bait and switchFirst, the counter person was insistent that I had to take the vehicle that they were offering, which was nowhere near what I had requested. They lied to us, saying that they did not have another vehicle, until I told them to cancel the reservation, and went and stood on the Avis line. Then, all of a sudden, another vehicle popped up, miraculously. They still charged the same price, as if a luxury vehicle, and over charged for the insurance. I do not feel that we should have even been charged for the vehicle which I turned in less than 24 hours after getting it. Very bad experience, very poor customer service, not the way to start any vacation.

I followed your suggestion bought an insurance to cover my rental vehicle at Eurocar rental. The policy number is PL11319420303 of Allianz Global Assistance. But at the rental company, a lady rep. said I have no insurance and almost force me to buy their own insurance. I told her I have an insurance when I booked and paid my contract. She still says I need one , otherwise I will get trouble. Finally, she charged me higher security deposit for did not buy Eurocar own insurance. It is every bad business action to the customers.

The staff was friendly, helpful and spoke enough English to help us through the process. Rental instructions were clear.We weren't sure where to drop the car off in the parking structure. We randomly parked it and told the staff where we put it. They were fine with that, but we should have parked it on -2 rather than -1...next time we'll know.
10.0 Excellent2 Jul 2018
Kayak computed incorrect tax on our invoice. We had to pay another €20 at return. Other than that one thing, everything was perfect. Oh, and one other thing, the directions to return the car need to be a lot more of a step by step type of thing. It simply says return at airport. Uh, yeah. Go to airport. Ok. Then what? Where? This needs to say exactly where one is going. Easy. Small. Needs added. Again, great experience.

UnorganizedThe service rep in Malaga was very nice and very helpfulPoor functioning car. Low tire pressure. Multiple notices about service which was due. Had to fill one tire 4 times during trip Malaga noted car as no damage. Madrid counted all minor scratches and door nicks and tried to charge me for them. They were aggressive and unfriendly. We were told the car was red and in a certain space number. The car was gray and in a different number and I wonder if they mixed up keys I rent cars frequently and from Hertz and this whole situation and car will steer me away from Hertz and Avis forever.

made up chargesWhen we arrived, the person insisted that the credit card we used be in my husband's name (the driver). Since it was in mine, they charged us three times the amount of the rental in unneeded insurance that was "required." It wasn't, but we had no choice. Then the final charge was even more, for reasons we don't know. Stay away.
3.2 Mediocre23 Oct 2016
The car got good diesel mileage.The process of renting was incomplete and confusing in that it was not possible to tell that the car was not available at the airport and we had to go into the city to get it. The insurance that was needed for basic coverage was three times the rental cost.

Location was right at the airport and made for easy check in and check outI was attempting to be specific on types of car I would receive and even attempted to speak to Avis ahead of time. I wanted specifically a BMW or Audi and that is what my reservation stated. When I arrived, they said they did not have BMW/Audi unless I wanted to upgrade my reservation

I reserved a bmw. Somehow a Toyota Arus is in the same class. Avis also told me the insurnance I bought through your site was no good. This brings great anxiety through the whole trip when you don’t know whether you are covered or not.

Drop off was confusing. Lady at the counter said that someone in the parking lot will finish my contract up. Gentleman in the parking lot said that's not necessary and that I flcan leave, but he did it anyways. I ended up taking manual in lower class over booked automatic and did not get any refund.

NothingI already paid 45$ for the insurance(by your website) and when I arrived at the office we were told to pay more than 50€ PER DAY ! And we had to wait in the office for more than an hour (and there was no point from booking the car online cuz we already waited an hour!) we eventually rented a car from another company. We would like to refund our money.

Efficient pick up; car was fine for what we needed it forThe extra expenses such as airport and drop off location. A bizarre drop off since the attendant wasn’t there. Key left with hotel attendant. I git Confirmation but wish it was a bit easier to figure out since I had to catch a bus.

Nice carThe Insurance was outrageous; I did not have that same cost in Italy; I was extremely disappointed and asked for less expensive cost; he upgraded the original car to help but cost was prohibitive

Very long wait to collect the carCar was as described, drop off was very easy and well sign posted, you can collect the car with a full tank of fuel. Competitive price.There is an extra fuel charge, even if you bring back the car full. Two and a half hour wait at the airport in a very big queue to collect the car. Staff did not explain that the car was parked in the Europecar area which meant it took us a long time to find. Car smelt a bit strange but other than that was clean.

Listed price was just a few pounds. It was not made clear that there was a 30 euro "service charge" for filling the car with petrol - payable even if you returned car full. Total rip off by your site and the company

It took me more than an hour to find and deduce that Goldcar was the intermediary of Ace, they had a little sign, hardly visible that said Rodeon. Price with Ace perfect. I decided for an upgrade at Goldcar (Rodeon) and it was ridiculous more expensive. A worthless GPS for 100€!!!. And I had to leave 2000$ for deposit plus €150 for gas, these amounts hopefully I'll get back to my credit card in a week.

Worst pick upAny good was overwhelmed by the bad, annoying and vacation-stealing problems. See below.Did not like taking a number to talk with an agent, but that was the start. 45 minutes later we went to get our car which was parked in a dark garage so we could not effectively inspect for damage. Rude worker responded “Habla espanol” when we asked where the exit was. Three miles into journey the car began to buck and miss when accelerating. Called company and after 1 hour they picked it up leaving me stranded without transportation. Three hours and four calls later a taxi picked me up to take me back to the airport for a replacement car. Almost 2 hours later, after line standing, I got a car that worked, but like it’s predecessor, was parked in a dark garage so again damage inspection was not feasible and later scratches were found that were there before we picked it up. This exchange took most of 1 day out of vacation. Not a happy camper.

Terrible ExperienceNo one ever answered our call to pick us up at the airport. We were forced to find another company. I have traveled for 31 years and never had this type of problem.
3.6 Mediocre4 Nov 2017
Disaster from the startWhen I rented the car with ACE - there was NO mention that ACE is actually Gold Car in Malaga. When I tried to ask for help, no one knew what I was talking about and had never heard of ACE. I kept showing the confirmation, which clearly had the ACE logo, name and confirmation number. Not anywhere on my reservation did it state that Gold Car was a code partner. This debacle took over an hour to solve after I had to call the office (after waiting on hold for 45 minutes). Finally found the Gold Car pick up desk and was told I had to buy additional insurance, even though I bought insurance through Allianz once I rented the car, which cost an unexpected 150 Euros. The customer service woman at the desk was so unfriendly and clearly hates her job and made for an already frustrating experience completely unbearable. It was very difficult to find the car in the labyrinth of cars in the parking garage. no one was down there to assist. Once I finally found the car, I was shocked to see that it was a manual and not an automatic. Luckily, I know how to drive a stick but I kept thinking that if this were any of my friends, they'd be screwed since they don't know how to drive one. Again, there was no mention of this on the reservation or gave me an option to choose manual over automatic when i booked the car. My ability to drive a stick was my only saving grace in this whole unfortunate, unpleasant experience. I will never rent a car under these conditions again.

Ace who?Arrived in Malaga to not find Ace. Not could I not find them but no one had even heard about them. Ended up renting a car from another company.
2.0 Mediocre7 Oct 2017
Complete scamThat I hadn't actually put money down-that it was only a hold. That way I could walk away and find another rental car option.These were the main problems: 1) ACE is not ACE: That Ace was separately named GoldCar with no link anywhere showing that they were connected-I called their phone with no answer over and over. The signs at the airport for over 10 different rental companies-did not state that ACE was a part of Goldcar- in fact, nothing indicated that they were it. After spending 30 minutes asking different rental car companies who ACE was partnered with, I finally found out it was Goldcar. 2) BREAKING POLICY: They charged beyond what the booking fee was with a strange fuel policy charging me 140Euros (for a fiat) which was not on my booking. When I showed them my booking they still said "sorry, we are not ace so you'll use our policy instead." This was not what I signed up for. 3) DUBIOUS ADDED COSTS: They wanted a deposit of over 1,000Euros as security for the car, or a 60Euro insurance fee. This was far beyond what my full coverage 72Euro booking was supposed to be. I left in the end. KAYAK should definitely not work with such companies or advertise them as an option.

Worst Ever Experience in car rental, stay away from Economy rent a carNothingI booked full insurance online for 72$, yet the guy at the pickup in Malaga said this is not valid and wanted to charge me again for this. I showed him all papers to proof the insurance but he insisted. He also said that he will charge me for 100 Euro as my booking is full tank to empty tank while in the booking it was only 40 Euro. He said they will pay for someone to go and fill it on top of the fuel cost so it adds to 100 Euro. In total instead of paying 112 Euro for my booking, I paid 250 euro and that was after 2 hours of delay, frustration, fights, calls, ...... my worst ever experience in car rental. Never ever again to book with them.

I was surprised that there are still bait and switches happeningIt’s hard to give any positives. Perhaps the quick transfer back to the airport.I reserved a Mercedes SLC (premium convertible or similar car) from economy car rental. When I arrived in Malaga, Spain, I soon discovered that Economy Car Rental didn’t have a kiosk there. They aren’t actually a car rental company, they’re more of a broker. There were no instructions for what to do. So I googled and found a number that eventually put me in touch with a local at “Auto Lido” which was more used car dealership than car rental. When I arrived at Auto Lido, they tried to put me in a Honda Civic. They didn’t have any convertibles available. The swarthy little man who took care of us informed me that he could do a better price if I canceled my Kayak reservation and rented from him directly. None of the prices they showed me were consistent with the Kayak pricing. It was only after I asked to be shuttled back to the airport that they “found” a convertible for me at a discounted price. However, it was a 2011 Puegeot Convertible with about 70,000 miles on it. I only took it because I had prepaid the insurance, they discounted the price and no other rental place had convertibles available. We had made plans to take long drives through the country and along the coast in a convertible. My advice would be to avoid Economy Car Rental.

Top tips for hiring a car in Málaga
- As a tourist in Malaga, renting a car is the best way to discover the Costa del Sol in comfort. As well as offering total independence on your visit, it is also a cheap way to travel.
