Goldcar: Great value for money
So I decided to drive my parents from. Barcelona to Cadaques, then to Narbonne (through the mountains via Portbou) and Back to Barcelona in three days. The price was fair. I paid a premium of 65€ and never need to worry about a huge deposit nor any charges for scratches or accidents. Luckily, the car was treated as my own and we never had any incidents to let them worry about. And luckier still, I paid a hundred euros at goldcar and never needed to worry about a refill. Ever. The whole tank they gave us serves for the entire 600+ km trip. And I gave it back with just enough fuel to go another 70 kms. We also never needed to refill it before giving it to them. The car was brand new (4200 kms!) and we felt very comfortable. Overall, 10/10, would bang again. Lol.
Thrifty is an excellent Company to deal with
Have used Thrifty Rental Cars many times and have always had helpful and reliable service throughout the U.S.A.
This company take care of there customers
Helpful service, interested in your needs for vacation or business, willing and friendly which is nice when your in a foreign country . Rates that compare well with the large and well known company's, I would request that I was placed with this company should I need to rent again.
Excellent vehicle with excellent service.
After a long flight from the UK, we picked up our hire car from Dollar. The service we received from Gregory was fantastic. He was efficient and friendly and even included a Samsung notebook, for use as a sat nav and phone, into the deal when he realised we had never driven in the US before. The seven seater Dodge Caravelle that we hired was excellent and easy to find and return in the airport parking. The hire package included all excesses and taxes covered, a full tank of petrol and all Florida toll charges prepaid. Brilliant value for money. I will definitely use this company again.
Fast, Efficient, Personal
This is the second time this year that I have used Rentalcars.com to find and reserve a car. Each occasion was for 10 week rentals and one of those was for cross border travel. I was very happy with the personal and friendly nature of the agents who handled my requirements. Quote and booking was done very quickly and booking options were covered well. I had to extend the period of my last rental and again this was dealt with quickly over the telephone and without the need to call into the car rental company. I will be using Rentalcars.com again.

EU Digital Services Act
In accordance with Rentalcars.com’s obligations under the EU’s Digital Services Act, we estimate that the average monthly recipients* of the Rentalcars.com service in the European Union from 1 February 2023 up to and including 31 July 2023, is well below 45 million.
This is only an estimate and is based on the data available to Rentalcars.com at this time, and the limited guidance in the Digital Services Act (“DSA”). This estimate is required to be published under the DSA and should not be used for any other purpose. The methodologies used to estimate average monthly recipients as defined in the DSA require significant judgement and design inputs, are subject to data and other limitations, and inherently are subject to statistical variances and uncertainties. This estimate may be revised upwards or downwards as Rentalcars.com refines its approach and in response to the publication of methodology by the European Commission. As required by the DSA, we expect to publish a new estimate later in 2023.
Please refer to the Booking Holdings Inc. Investor Relations website for user metrics we consider relevant to Rentalcars.com’s business.
* ‘recipient of service’ is defined under the DSA to mean “any natural or legal person who uses an intermediary service, in particular for the purposes of seeking information and making it accessible”. This requires counting users to whom information was displayed by the Booking.com service, even if that user did not make a transaction.'
