" It was easy to use their system and their prices were competitive. "
" We weren't used to this type of car. It was an automatic transmission which however felt like it was manual, but it drove well. There was no one who met us before we took the car and there were no attendants when we dropped the car off. We had to drop the keys inside the airport so that was a surprise. "

" Very friendly, helpful staff, at both ends. The Volvo V40 they gave us was a very impressive car. One odd thing -- they phoned us the same evening we picked up the car, saying they needed it back because it was to be sold. Really? However, we were now in Toledo, not Madrid, so they had to wait 4 weeks to get it back. "

" Dollar was represented in Madrid Barajas airport by Hertz. The actual process of picking the car up and return was smooth and problem less. The front desk staff are cheaters. Despite they were clearly and not once told that I did not need and additional insurance, they added this to my contract and made me to sign a form with quite a bit of text. After 22 hours of travel across Atlantic I was not in position of proof reading all the text. And they told me that it all about refundable deposit and government and airport taxes. At the time of the car return they charged me 270 Euros for the unwanted insurance, which I allegedly voluntary accepted in my contract. Shame on them! "
" Easy and straight forward on-line reservation process and good prices from a large number of rental companies. "
" The car was available as promissed, clean, filled up and ready to go. Fast return process as well. Although not directly related to Hertz, I would suggest that the exact vehicular entry to the car return area to be better signalled and marked at Madrid-Barajas airport, as finding it may be difficult under time pressure and in a busy traffic. "
" It was wendy good "
" Was ok "
" Arrived15 minutes before 10am reservation. Had to wait until exactly 10 am as staff would not serve us until exactly 10 am. "
" Check in and check out were quick and seamless. "
" This is the best service that I have the pleasure to use. I have never had a problem. Keep up the great work "
" TheHertz people went out of their way to ensure that I had the proper car. I was even given an upgrade with a GPS which is very useful while driving in Spain. Great people...very professional "
" Reliable,good value,good price,efficient. "
" Very satisfied with the car- Opel Mokka. Good service on pick up and return. Suggestion: provide a MAP for the exact location of the pick up and return addresses. Both at Madrid Atocha and especially at Barcelona Sants we spent a lot of time and frustration trying to find the place. "
" Very helpful quick service. "
" Whether on line or by phone I always get a great price for an attractive vehicle that suits my needs. "
" Handled by Hertz, the staff is fairly cordial and efficient. The vehicle was fairly clean and indeed suited my needs well. "
" Car was good and return car process was satisfactory. Check in was slow as agent decided to deal with courier/internal documentation process, so I had to wait until second agent came back from I assume a break to process me. I always believe customer comes first. Also when I picked up car, there were scratches and slight damage to car. I wanted to have that verified before I left in case of dispute but there was nobody around that I could see. Left me somewhat concerned that I would have an issue/dispute when I returned the car, but that didn't happen, so overall okay with Hertz "
" Very clear and fast booking. "
" Easy to locate in terminal and no surprise when booking! Price was exactly as mentionned no hidden fees. "
" Great service and friendly efficient staff. Had to make a late reservation change, staff was very helpful. My third experience with Auto Europe and all have been very positive. "
" Great service and friendly people on arrival and departure. Efficient drop-off crew. Gave us everything we needed; even though they were very busy at that time. Well done! "
" Good service, no complaints. "
" Difficult to find drop off location of car in Barcelona (parking directions were not clear from person at counter, went around the (busy) block 4 times!). "
" Very satisfied with how things went. One suggestion would be to provide more specific information on the website about actual costs (if any) to drop vehicle off at location other than where rental commenced, rather than have to phone for more information. "
" Very satisfied with this rental. Upon completion of our trip, we returned vehicle to Barcelona Airport where Claudia was very helpful. "
" Very satisfied. This is our second time booking with Auto Europe and both times went so well. "
" Excellent service. Luis was so informative and with such a great smile. Thank you. "
" Quick and easy , was checked in and gone in less than 10 minutes,everyone was very polite and helpful . Paid for a gasoline car and was upgraded to a diesel . "
" Booked online. Did not like the fact that they bill your credit card as soon as you book "
" It was with Hertz at the airport in Madrid. There was only 1 person initially at the counter. The wait and the process took way too long, over 1/2 hour "
" sign in process too lengthy. We had reserved, provided information etc and prepaid - why 30 minutes to fill out forms at pick up? The airport 'fee' was not stated up front. You already know this you should advise clients in advance. "
" See above. I prepaid - I should not have to wait 20 minutes in line to be served AND then have a long processing time. There were 3 attendants at the AVIS/BUDGET combined counter. Only 1 was serving and he was chatting and joking with the 3 men who were renting a car the entire time we were there. One attendant - AVIS - was only taking prioirty customers - and there were none! There was a line up - several people left - he finally asked us to come forward. It still took another 20 minutes to complete the transaction even though all information was provided in advance and the car was prepaid. (The charge had already gone through on my credit card). This is totally unsatisfactory, I will use another company next time unless you change "
