MalagaCar.com reviews - Page 166

I've hired cars many times in Malaga Airport from several companies and Malagacar(my 5th. time with them) is simply the best. The young woman that served me was really helpful and really nice and when i returned the car she was again really helpful. There was no pressure to take the full insurance which is great. I took the Comfort Pack (half full tank bring back half full) which means you only pay for the online price and you get an extra driver and full roadside assistance included, so its up to you how much fuel you use. I got a Renault Megane (latest model) and it was spotless inside and out.To my detriment i used goldcar last year (2017) because i got got a really good online price initially, but, by the time i got to the desk i got charged for a full tank of full (which i was supposed to get a refund for unused fuel which i did not), charged for fueling the car and charged for using a credit card (which you have to use). To me Malagacar is transparent and there is no hidden charges and deliver exactly what they say. I have booked for next year already.

I fooled myself, by believing the good reviews and very promising honesty in their homepage. Last week I booked a car, and I would receive a mail, I got the mail on Saturday, they requested more information and I responded right away. I didn't received any reply for 3 days, and my departure approaching, I became nervous and called them twice, first time they told me, the manager who requested the information is absent and not available and I had to forward the mail to another mail address, I did and mentioned any car available is good with me, no respond!! The second time I called them, they promised me to reply the same day. They did NOT!! I even used their what'sApp but nothing. I started to look other companies for renting a car, and I was shocked seeing the price is tripled since the last week. Im very disappointed how they treat their costumer. Maybe it's only me, but anyway, be careful of the delays or no replies, everyday goes by and approaching your departure the price goes up. So don't waste your time.

We have used Malaga Car Hire for many years visiting the Costa Del Sol 3 to 4 times per year. We have always received excellent service which is why we continue to both use Malaga Car Hire as well as recommend to family and friends. This excellent customer service was highlighted this week when a "boot open" warning light appeared on the dashboard. The boot wasn't open BUT the car thought it was and therefore we were unable to lock the car. We contacted Malaga Car hire to highlight the issue and they delivered to us in our village (some 50 minutes away from Malaga airport) a replacement car within 3 hours from us contacting them with the problem. That is what I call excellent customer service. Many thanks Stuart Preece

The only word I can use to describe an experience with Malaga.car is OUTRAGEOUS. My mother and brother hired a car and there an accident happened: a truck hit the rented car, though it was the truck driver's fault. They called the police, the police wrote an on-site report, my mother took photos of the truck number plates and the truck driver's license. Malagacar.com accepted the car back and did not return the deposit which is 1,200 Euro. The damage done to the rented car can't be charged that much. And for 2 months so far I'm writing emails to get info about the deposit return policy and every fucking time they ask for the booking number. Ok, I provided them with the booking number a shitload of times, also, I sent the truck driver's license and the photo of the on-site report and they ask me TO SEND BOOKING NUMBER again and again every time. Is it so challenging to spend a minute to have a look at our case? The worst experience ever.

Dear Mariya,
The VW Tiguan rented by you was taken under Basic insurance conditions. The car was returned with a damage and you are right you gave us a truck number plate but was a Moroccan truck so it is very difficult and a very long process to be able to collect a claim when the opposite party is not European. 
You were offered to take the extra full insurance and you refused it. You are responsible for any damage to the car while the incident is solved, which you say you have suffered.

used your company on many occasions, the service has been fantastic, will be using them again in 2019

I give 5 stars. My husband and I have hired time and time again. Never had any problem whatsoever, in fact, always been over the moon. Really friendly staff and the easiest people in the world to do business with. I really don't like going anywhere else, and when I have to (because I'm a skinflint and only want a small car - and sometime they aren't available at very short notice), I see the difference. Why deal with a big company that doesn't care about you when you can deal with Malaga car???

After a stressful day yesterday booking to many cars for the same day by not receiving any confirmation for any of them. Then checking my junk mail only to find out that I had booked 6/7 cars tried ringing all numbers I could find and emailed to let them know (thought that I was going to be charged for all of them)but got a nice email back. Telling me not to worry they were all deleted apart from 1. Perfect. And for that I award malagacar.com 5 stars. Once again a big thank you. One happy customer. Jeff.

We had reserved a car for a week in June 2018. We rented a rental car for the first time. The pick-up from the airport was excellent, the processing in the office was excellent and very friendly and helpful. We had the basic package with additional full insurance. - Really great and above all carefree. We received the car with half a tank and were able to return it empty. Worked great. When we picked it up we discovered a small defect in the trunk and pointed it out to an employee. "No problem, you have full insurance!" The return was completed within a few minutes and we were immediately driven to the airport. Conclusion: everything is great !!! - Price, service, preliminary information, vehicle, transfer, ...- Anytime again !!! Thanks to malagacar - your contribution was part of a wonderful vacation.

Very disappointing and dishonest! I booked a car for 14 days but informed the company I was returning the car a day early before I arrived. I was still charged for the full 14 days on arrival and told it would be refunded on my return. On returning the car I was told I could only be refunded by sending an email. I did this the next day and now 2 1/2 weeks later and several emails chasing payment I still have not had a refund. Not what I call good customer service and at the moment I doubt if I will ever get my money refunded.
