Car rentals in Spain [closed]

we want to hire a car for 10 days in Madrid. Since we have bad experiences with car rentals (especially those cheap ones), we would like to ask you for your experiences with Dollar and Enterprise car rentals. They seems more trustworthy than Goldcar or Firefly and their prices are not as high as Hertz or Avis.

Are they trustworthy?

Best Answer

I rented a car from Atesa (I think they have a contract with Enterprise) in Bilbao, drove it for three days, and returned it to their garage in Barcelona. As long as you have no damage to the car when you return and the appropriate amount of gas needed, you should be fine. Make sure that you read the terms of your rental to make sure of what condition you must return your car in, because they check every part of the car when you return it. They will also give you a folder when they give you your car, make sure you have that and all paperwork inside when you return it.

Is it OK to rent a car in Spain?

Driving in Spain can be difficult because of how Spainards drive but some trips necessitate renting a car of your own. Renting a car in a foreign country can be overwhelming but it's not much different than renting a car at home, especially with the abundance of English-language car rental aggregators.

Why are rental cars so scarce right now?

That is because the shortage of semiconductor chips that has held up auto manufacturing persists, leaving rental car companies to operate with lower inventory after they sold off chunks of their fleets in the early days of the pandemic. Building that stock back up has been more difficult than expected.

What happens if the car rental place is closed?

Please Note: A vehicle that is returned after hours will not be checked in until the next business day. If returning after hours when a branch is closed, the customer is responsible for the vehicle until the satisfactory check in of the rental vehicle the next business day.

Is Hertz still operating in Europe?

Hertz is located throughout more than 150 countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and New Zealand.
