We were charged extra for not collecting the car 4-6 hours from Booking time. Even we paid in full in advance for 10days rent - our rental was cancelled- and it is normal practice.we had to pay re- activation fee- 150euro, insurance 187euro/ we had it all paid already/, and tax 47euro, plus 160 deposit for fuel, total was 530e extra on the top of 280euro original price. 160euro refund due if full tank returned. Absolute scam. My sister had to pay additional 500e and was told that doesn't matter how u book it - you will be always charged extra because its done through douspain. Absolute disaster to start holidays like that. I sent complaint to them but small chance that it will be resolved. Do not book through them

Through no fault of our own we lost our booking. We had a hire car booked in Tenerife South for collection on the 22nd October around 1pm. In order to get there we had connecting flights through Lisbon however because of a software update in Portugal our flight was delayed and we missed the connecting flight. As there were no more flights we needed to source alternatives which took us to Tenerife North (south was impossible) but it was a late arrival. Ok, that's the back story. On the 22nd we kept trying to call DoYouSpain to explain what had happened but the phone just rings and rings and rings, nobody ever answers. I sent an email to DoYouSpain but to this day nobody has replied. I got the "somebody will contact you shortly" email but nothing since and yes, I have checked my junk. We arrived very late into Tenerife North and had to get a taxi to where we were staying, far too late to go to the South airport for the car as I'm sure the office would be closed. So, the next day I set off on the bus to get the car from the other airport.... When I got there, there was another family in front of me having issues with the rental company, however their plight sounded very similar to my own. They also had hired a car through DoYouSpain but had missed the collection due to delayed flights but the hire car company refused to honour the booking so I was not looking forward to talking to them. The hire car company did not care, they simply kept telling me that the booking was now cancelled because I'd not arrived on time and there was no chance of a refund, my only option was to hire another car with them. When i said I've booked a car for 7 days, why does collecting my car on day 2 make a problem, i've hired it for 7 days?!?!? I was just told to take it up with DoYouSpain as it's "not our problem" So I again tried to call DoYouSpain and yes, you've guessed it, nobody answered the phone using the number the hire car company gave me which was a different number. This company is simply a scam job, they'll take your money and just disappear. Trust me, do not use them, they may come up cheap and you're thinking you have a bargain, but any slight hitch and you've lost your money and your car. In the end I hired another car through a different company, so I've had to pay for 2 cars to just drive one of them. I'm sure i'll get some reply about reading "terms and conditions" but this just garbage as I didn't miss the booking because of any fault of my own as funnily enough I can't control Lisbon airspace. Sometimes companies can't hide behind corporate garbage, they should have contingencies in place through "no fault" missed bookings. Greedy cowboys!!!

Fraud and scam. They took money, but refused to provide the car. It is not mentioned anywere that debit cards are not allowed for deposits. How should we know about this? When we requested a refund, they just do not answer.

The worst car booking experience ever! A nightmare!! Do not use this site. I have booked car with the full insurance coverage, when we came to pick up the car the rental company informed us, the car does not have any insurance and requested another 250€ for the insurance. I tried to call do you spain, but you can never reach the customer support, they also do not reply to emails. So we believed the insurance we booked via do you spain would cover us incase of need, but it did not. We ended up paying 400€ for invoice on road assistance which came to open the car as we locked the key in the trunk, to the rental company as we did not have any insurance according to them, and tried to reclaim the invoice by the insurance company, also asking for everything possible and not replying, just to avoid the coverage..... This is struggle is now taking 3 months, without any progress.

Horrible. Should be flagged as scam. Under "others" it states, in fine and small print, that you must arrive from a flight, you must have a boarding pass (!) and a ticket to collect your car. If you have a second driver, the booking must be in the person with the ticket. In our case, we were told as the booking was in my name and my wife arrived on the plane, I am not eligible to collect the car with or without my wife and not eligible for a refund of my prepaid, 15 day rental.

Had to sleep overnight at airport! The policy wording on the DoYouSpain booking confirmation was wrong and I had to sleep overnight at the airport with my 3 young children and elderly mother despite the booking form saying the car hire company would be open 24 hours in the summer (out of hours charge for €40). The car hire company refused to stay open as our flight landed late by 15 minutes (closed at 1am). We were told to come back 8am the next morning so hand to sleep in the hotel as the queues for taxis at 2am was over 90 minutes long. DoYouSpain refusing to accept the wording on their own confirmation form and cut me off when I disagreed with their feedback. Waiting time on phone is over 10 minutes every time. The car hire company (Leasys) say the NEVER stay open past 1am and they’ve had this problem with online brokers before. The truth is that there is no option to stay open for the out of hours timings stated in the DYS confirmation form.

AVOID AVOID AVOID My flight was delayed 2 1/2hrs from Stansted to Alicante, we where due to take off at 20.30 and land at midnight, unfortunately with the delay we didn’t arrive until 02.30, my father in-law went to the car hire desk and explained about the delay at the time I was supposed to collect car and I personally tried to call the office but due to the time nobody was in the office. When I rang the next day I was flatly told that the booking was canceled and that I would not be receiving any refund as I didn’t inform them in time, even though the office was closed and we did inform the car hire company (Ok Mobility) in person. Thoroughly unprofessional, they stole my booking fee when they could of easily just let me pick the car up later the same day. Very rude staff, bad customer service, my advice would be to avoid them at all costs unless you can guarantee your flight will not be delayed which is impossible, avoid avoid avoid

We hired a two cars for a city break in Girona, paying fully on-line before departure. On arrival we were charged again by Goldcar, more grand double the original hire price! On return of the hire car I drove we topped up the fuel to the original level but did not receive a full retur of our deposit, being shortchanged by £20! We have photographic evidence of start and finish fuel readings. Both Do You Spain and Goldcar after rental support/services departments are non-existent!

Disgusting experience. Reference: DYS-50105437. I was in a hurry to rent a car. Went through the checkout process which was straightforward, got charged for €118.66 for 3 days + insurance. Got an email 5 minutes later saying I should pick up my car from Europcar. Got there, shared all the details with them and they said they can't give me a car because I paid with a debit card and I didn't have a credit card on me. I was told to call DoYouSpain and cancel my booking and get my money back. After 20 minutes I finally got through to an agent and explained the whole situation and asked for a refund. He kept saying that there's nothing he can do because in the terms and conditions it said you must have a credit card. Obviously I am furious, not only did I not miss my appointments, I got scammed to pay for a service which didn't work. What have I been charged for? I told the representative on the call if I'm not refunded my money back. I will post a bad review, because this is very unfair. I didn't have time to read your terms and conditions because I was in a hurry and you don't make it clear and obvious either on the checkout process, it's obvious why not, profiteering of people in similar positions. All this happened in the span of 30 minutes. I have never experienced such bad service anywhere else and this is my first bad review. I was sure that I wouldn’t have a problem getting my money back because that’s how legit companies operate, they rely on good and honest service. Lastly, I will happily remove this review if I get my money back. Shame on you.

Booked a car for two weeks with the wrong pickup time, honest mistake from my side. We arrived with boat to Dénia at 13:15 and the took a taxi to Alicante. I arrived 6 hours later than the pickup time and my booking was cancelled and doyouspain kept all the money. The funny thing is the car I was going to take was still available at the car rent company. So basically I had to pay for the same car again. This is a deceiving business decision doyouspain has made to earn more money. They basically get to keep all the money and don’t give anything to the car renting company. They earn more money when people miss the booking time than when people actually make it to the booking. My advice is just do the search on doyouspain, but then contact the car renting company directly and they will for sure match and give you a better deal. I could not reach the customer service at all. For your own good and for your pocket avoid doyouspain at all costs.

DO NOT pre-PAY THEM. They left me stranded at Barcelona Airport on a rental I made on the 21st of May 2022 on line on a specified type of car I rented and paid in full with my credit car on line. They sent me a voucher and I took it to Gold Car rental (actual car rental) On arrival on June 5th in Barcelona Airport. Gold Car rental denied their voucher and told me that they have NOT received any payment from DoYouSpain.com and I was request to pay the rental again and to take the insurance. When I refused I was told to contact Do You Spain. When tried to call no one answer the phone. I was left my self and family stranded causing a great deal of stress and expenses. Have tried to get my money back but DYS refused to reply my emails.

Warning: Their Platinum Excess Waiver Full Protection is useless. Do not book with this company. The insurance they sell will not remove the excess deposit, so you must pay a €1350 deposit when you pick up the car. This is a scam, and nobody should use this third-party website. Instead, book the car directly with the rental company, so you don’t have to pay a deposit when you have paid the full insurance. I called their support five minutes after I booked the car to request a full refund because I was misled as it was not mentioned in the booking form that I would have to pay the €1350 deposit. The information about the deposit was only provided by email after I paid, obviously because they know that nobody would book a car with them if they said that there was a €1350 deposit to be paid when collecting the car. Their support is terrible, as they said there would be no way I could get a refund because I could just have read the small print in their terms and conditions. This company is nothing but a scam company, and I will now report to Visa and MasterCard and request my bank to do a chargeback because of fraud. Lesson learned, and in the future, I will always book direct instead of booking via third-party scammers Do You Spain Do You Spain: I will keep posting bad reviews until I get the refund. I guess you know who is going to be the loser here ;)

No car, lost my money, it’s a scam! It is the 2nd time I use this company and the first time was ok. Nonetheless the 2nd time when I arrive to collect my car it wasn’t available and I was told to contact DoYouSpain. It was almost impossible to find the phone number but eventually I did. I stayed on hold for 45 mins before I was disconnected. I eventually called a taxi. The next day I tried again to call the support line three times with the same result, 45 mins hold than disconnected. I tried to email them a few time than twitter…..nothing…. I never got the car that was hired for 9 days nor my money back. Despite the decent looking website, this is an absolute scam. Avoid at all cost!

Disgraceful company who left me stranded in Milan airport with my 3 small children without a car, after initially accepting they were in the wrong and I was due a refund and compensation they soon backtracked and then started to ignore me. They effectively stole money from me because they did not provide the service I had paid for.

Worst company ever....they just steal your money...the policy in Ibiza airport is that you book the car and because you land late they simply cancel your reservation so they keep the money and the day after the real rental company like Goldcar say:it's their fault, we can do nothing...it's a legal fraud..

Do you Spain and Goldcar scam me 400€ in my trip to Gran Canaria. When I arrived... Surprise! The Insurance bought online was not valid if you do not have credit card. There was no alternative, only pay another 200€ Goldcard "good one" and of course you have to pay because the alternative was to lose the other 200€ for the 4 days rental. After fillings scammy government complain they gave me a garbage car that left me in the middle of nowhere because battery problem. And this was the first day. They fixed the problem so I was so disappointing that I did not want anymore so they bring it back and of course they didn't return me any money back for not using it. To date nobody has return any money... Pirates of the Caribbean. Avoid this SCAM!

You are a rip off, We got to Malaga and was reused the car because we would not pay nearly 300 uros we were told my driving license was not good enough we needed an international license, we argued that no where does it state that our UK license was no longer valid and as We booked from uk there was nothing to say UK drivers needed to get this additional license, further more the person at the airport was rude and made it quite clear he was not intrested in that there was nothing on the doitspan website, when we called the telephone number we spoke to somene who said his name was Mathew hid employee number was 5000 and when we said the same he just said we no longer accept uk drivers license and when asked where on the website he said he didnt know
