Held ransom for 225 euros!
Charged 225 euros for a flat tyre. Despite the fact that the tyre was old, wore and not roadworthy. I have photos to prove it. There was 70,000+ kms on the odometer. No surprise the tyres are worn is it. Particularly on the rough Greek roads. So they blamed me for the flat tyre, then insisted on charging me 225 euros for a tyre that only costs 60 euros new. They said it was because the car would be out of service, even thought I returned the car 24 hrs early on my 3wk rental. I was essentially held ransom. The Goldcar depot is over 8kms from the airport in the middle of nowhere. They ignored anything I said, so the only way I was getting to the airport in time for my flight was to pay up. Even though I arrived at the depot just after 8am when they opened. There were 4 employees. I was the only customer they served the entire time I was at the depot. I did not leave the depot until after 8.30am. I cannot say anything good about this experience. I will never rent from Goldcar ever again, nor Europcar who owns Goldcar.
