The car hire company advertised as "on Airport" but the car collection was a very long walk, which was an issue for my wife who has walking difficulties.

Arrived early to airport and wouldn’t let me get a car earlier than booked. Quick to give the car over without doing checks missing bulbs . Quite scratched. Upon return checked over with a fine tooth comb. Took money from my credit card for “fuel” despite me bringing it back with a full tank.

Bad from start to finish Record Go - Alicante airport This is my first experience of hiring a car abroad - and I can say one positive is it's taught me a lot. unless of course you buy all of their extras and insurance policies, they will rip you off at any opportunity. Arrived at airport - picked up a ticket, and others who had come after were seen first (now know this is due to priority 50.00 payment). The woman we saw was very pushy and rude. She charged my credit card for an additional driver, which I eventually had refunded when I showed her it was included in my booking for free through the broker holiday autos. she wasn't a happy bunny. Luckily I had read all of the info sent to me from holiday autos - which said to decline all extra insurances, warning me that I would have 1100 euros blocked on my credit card. I had excess refund insurance through axa - added it on through holiday autos. The woman was VERY rude, and tried to push the insurance policies, first offering 145.00 then 55.00. When I said no she was very aggressive and told me the insurance wasn't valid, and I'd be liable for all damage. Went to pick up the car, first off a fiesta - found that the cigarette lighter didn't work to charge sat nav - so given a seat Ibiza. Checked over the car - found scratches and told the guy at the office, who told me anything under 4cm isn't considered damage. He wouldn't come and look, telling me that everything is on the contract. I took photos of everything I could see. The car was fine driving, and did me for what I needed. Unfortunately the experience dropping off wasn't great. Handed over the keys. And straight away the woman went over to the back and pointed out 'damage'. A scuff, and 2 scratches under 4cm. But they seem to have their own rules when it comes to scratches. I was charged over 350 euros for the privilege. If you are going to go through 'Record Con' here's some tips... 1. Ensure you check ALL over the car and note down ALL damage no matter how small... including the interior. Take photos of EVERYTHING. They also have an app - although it doesn't allow you to take many photos of the same area. 2. Get them to come and verify the damage before you leave. Don't be sucked in to a false sense of security with the '4cm scratch' line. 3. If you have excess refund insurance - don't let them bully you to buy more. 4. Take photos of the interior before you leave - they have sent people bills for 95.00 euros for cleaning. 5. make sure you have a credit card - someone I met in the carpark had 1100 euros blocked on their debit card because they don't take certain credit cards. 6. Fill up your tank on the way back - and take receipts. Ensure you get your refund for petrol. They will take this 66.00 euros off of your credit card before you take your car. 7. Get receipts of all damage payments, take photos, and keep ALL paperwork so that you can claim anything you are charged back through your damage excess refund insurance. 1 * for customer service 5 * for conning customers ;)

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!! They charged us for scratches on the car that we have never made and they just took the money from our creditcard without informing us about it, no mail, no phonecall, no explenation!!!! They say we made the scratches, that is NOT TRUE, they were already there when we picked up the car. We sent them an e-mail with a video we took of the car, they have not responded to this mail at all. I HAVE NEVER before experienced anything like this, I strongly recommend everyone to STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

Horrible experience on multiple counts: - Waiting one hour at reception without pushing rental to when we actually received vehicle (as is the normal custom) - Making a range of mistakes during pick-up, trying to charge us additional days and arguing that we had booked more days than we had (which we had to then show twice since it didn't seem to go through) - Charge excessive fees for insurance (they reel you in with their low day rate, but in the end paying the same as any major int'l chain, which are much much better). - Horrible vehicle pick-up garage, walking 5 stories down (without elevator/proper walkway) and nearly impossible to drive out with large car (while their staff is flying around blind corners at high speed - highly unprofessional) - Unable to drop-off vehicle at night - our rental was until Monday morning 10AM, we had a flight at 9AM and wanted to drop off vehicle at 6-7AM, but were forced to drop vehicle at 10PM the evening before since they would not have been open otherwise and would've simply continued charging us as they require you to deliver vehicle while office is open (cheap way to incur extra costs - which rental agency doesn't have a keybox for dropoff? One that tries to scam you into additional charges) - Staff not helpful during drop-off, had to drive the car down into the depths of the tiny 5 floor garage again (first time after 100's of rentals that a staff hasn't taken the vehicle from the office drop off) - Unfriendly staff - Bogus ticket claim and already charged my card admin fee of 40eu without any evidence of ticket Will never rent from them again and advise others to stay away - much better to go with reliable int'l agencies (Avis, Sixt, Budget, Europcar, etc.).

bit of a queue picking car up and it's frowned on that you have your own excess cover but the price was ridiculously cheap and the dropping off experience was very positive

When we arrived we struggled to find the minibus to the depot. The system to enter our booking did not accept our booking number. The receptionist denied we have already paid our insurance with our booking .so we had to take out a second policy . The basic policy did not cover more than 100ks per day so we paid extra for that. They took off E55 for fuel up fromt To date this has not been refunded . On return they wanted another E 95 cleaning charge - the whole experience was horrendous-and is still not sorted . avoid like the plague.

First review I’ve ever written and writing it to stop anyone from using this company. It’s systemised, formalised scam. Every step is made to try and con you out of money, I’ve never seen anything like it. Am amazed it hasnt been shut down by authorities, as can’t imagine some of the exploitation and trickery can possibly be legal. They should be put out of business immediately

Rented car via internet company, took insurance out to cover damage etc.on arrival at record reception, had to wait ages to be seen by someone. Was informed needed to pay extra €70 because over 70yr,then if didn't pay€20 would be limited to 125km per day!!! so in desperation took out full insurance €217 because had been there for so long arguing the point but getting no where.What a load of bandits!! So be aware.

Complete scammers, do not use this company. Never known anything like it. Booked through Ryan Air, took out extra insurance to avoid any excess. Instructions on how to find them were ridiculous, others were having trouble too and we only found the minibus to take us to the office by accident. When there, they immediately asked if we wanted to take out more insurance, to which I replied we already had. They said not through us so you will have to pay £1400.00 on your credit card and will not get this money back for 30 days. We said fine but others who incur charges to their credit card said they didn’t want to and actually paid even more money. The car was filthy and full of scratches and dents. We videoed the car before we drove off and wrote down all the faults and got them to sign. We videoed the car again when we returned it. I recommend everyone do this, so they cannot scam you later, and they will! The woman who took the car back, named Christina was literally a witch. One nasty piece of work. We couldn’t believe how she spoke to us, the rudest person ever and very aggressive. Please, please let’s put this company out of business, they are nothing but robbing scumbags. Hire at your own peril.

Very Poor service!! waited over 2.5 hours to collect my car. Then they had the cheek to charge me €40 out of hours collection when I arrived way inside the out of hours time. Very rude staff. Forced to take out excess insurance even though it stated it on my car hire reservation. I was told that I wasn't covered as it wasn't their insurance even though I paid the excess along with the original booking. It was either pay it or I was told I wasn't getting the car. I noticed whilst waiting my turn in the queue customers were getting very aggravated the way they were being treated and at one stage the checking in staff pushed his face in to a waiting customers face and then refused to serve them. Will Never Use This Company Again!!!!

I have never seen such a worst rental car company than this in my life. They are very far away from Barcelona airport (actually in next village) & the instructions were not given. After calling them 5 times, we actually found out where would they pick up in their van & take us there. At 11pm in the night, while signing the rental agreement €28.49 charge comes up which is non-refundable even if you return full tank. This is disastrous. Never paid such charges & also you are left with no choice at 11pm. The deposit they hold in the card is actually returned after 6 weeks for which you have to pay interest on your credit card. I sent them 5 emails & only one was replied. My car was damaged in Barcelona by an invader. They took money twice from credit card on top of deposit & they are still not replying after 2 months what is the actual cost as the invoice they sent was taken in first time. My insurance company is also chasing them for that, but still it remains unresolved after 2 months. One of their representative informed while returning the car that it is very common to get rental car damaged in Spain. So please avoid particularly this company. They are coming up as cheapest on the internet, but not at all reliable. You end up with many other expenses & particularly credit card interest on the bigger amount. All other car rental companies release deposit within a week (my experience so far from other companies is just next day), while they hold for 6 weeks. So please avoid!!

They are a bunch of scammers.when i returned the car in perfect condition.they asked me if i had extra insurance,i said yes,the guy proceeded to the front of the car,crawled under and told me i had damaged the underside,i told him i had driven the car with the utmost care and it must have been like that when i got it.he told me i should have spotted this on pick up.i told him i dont normally crawl under cards to check them,he told me that my extra insurance would cover it and proceeded to claim my 1100 euro excess.i asked him why he went straight to the passenger underside to look as soon as i said i had extra insurance and why he didnt check the other side.he then pretended to not understand properly.TOTAL SCAM

I would strongly recommend against hiring a car from RecordGo in Majorca. When we arrived at the car rental desk, there was a wait of over 2.5 hours to collect the car. This was a very unpleasant start to our holiday and staff were unsympathetic, despite us travelling with a young baby. The hire service maybe cheaper, but it is terrible value.
