Customer experience

Good and reliable company for renting a car abroad

Easy website, easy phone contact when I had questions. Everything well-organized. Friendly staff. Have rented a car through this company several times and have always been very satisfied.

Car Hire Review

Overall, I had an excellent car hire experience. It was difficult finding a car hire site to fit my budget as I am under 25 y/o and most places charge astronomical amounts for people my age. I will say though, that there is one major flaw with this site. When I booked my reservation I had no idea that the rental facility would require a credit card in my name until after I had already paid for my reservation. The site may have specified this in the fine print somewhere, but this kind of information needs to be made very clear, especially for first time renters like myself. Why would you even accept payment with a debit card, if a credit card is required to pick up the car? That to me is just setting people up for failure. I myself do not even own a credit card, and was very worried when I found out that I may need one to pick up my car. I was shocked when I read further into the fine print and saw that a refund would not be given to someone who was unable to present a credit card... Really?! If you are unable to rent me a car because I don't own a credit card, that's fine, but give me my money back! If I pay you for a service that you end up not being able provide, but you still keep the money... thats called theft! My blood was boiling when I read that. Very poor business ethics. Thankfully, however, Europecar was fine with me not having a credit card at the time of pick-up, and everything went very smoothly. Though this rental experience went great, you can see how it had the potential to go very bad. Perhaps it was my fault for being too trusting and not reading, in detail, all of the fine print. I'll make a point to do that more in the future, but to be honest, something as important as this, shouldn't be buried the fine print. Make this point clear, and if you're going to require a credit card eventually, be consistant and require a credit card to book the reservation. That's my only advice for improvement! Other than that, like I said, everything was great and I appreciate the service!

Car hire fuerturventura

Good price and easy to book, shame car not at airport, quite a quick transfer but not on way back. Price for rental was good and also not ripped on on fuel prices, but car was old with over 100,000 on clock and not even central locking, lots marks on car but not shown around it or anything explained, just seemed they wanted us away as quickly as possible, but no complaints about that, but when returning not such good service as waiting around to be transfered back to airport. Car was ok but very squeeky brakes and clutch made a lot of noise, but done its job and never let us down.

No hastle, car ready & waiting

Car was ready for us when we arrived at the airport. Had a 207 and was a nice car. Easy check in, took details, given the key and was told where to go. Gave the car a thorough check over when we returned. Wouldn't hesitate to use again.

Car Hire Alicante

It was easy to make a booking. Checking in and collecting the car was very convenient and easy. The car provided was in excellent condition and very clean. No problems with the car .Would book again.

Mallorca Spring Vacation

Airport pick-up and rental process efficient. Vehicle condition though not new with minor damage was adequate and acceptable. Car reliable throughout rental period. Car return process and courtesy bus to airport undertaken efficiently. Would have liked car with sun roof.

Easy and efficient service.

I booked online a few days before leaving for our holiday. I was panicking whether I had left it too late but I was dealt with speedily and efficiently, with emails arriving within 24 hours confirming there was a car ready for us in Ibiza. The email contained where to meet the representative in the car park that was located straight in front of arrivals door. The rep duly drove us to BK car rentals a few minutes away. The transaction of filling in forms and collecting our car was again speedy and I was dealt with in a very professional manner. Returning the car was a reverse process that was once again speedy and efficient, and the rep kindly drove us to the same car park where we walked into departures within a few minutes. I would highly recommend 121 carhire and BK car rentals. I will definitely use them again.

Car Hire Experience

Speedy admin/offered an upgrade that was very reasonable which was accepted. Easy return of car. Do not like the arrangement of returning with empty tank. Much prefer the return with a full tank. It is a much fairer arrangement.

All as hoped!

After coming out of the main doors at Palma de Mallorca) Airport we easily found the parking area for the Transfer Minibus. We waited less than 5 mins for one to arrive (we travelled in September). The driver was friendly and helpful. The drive to the Car Lot was pretty brief too. We did have to queue for about 15 mins at the office to get the car but there were toilets, free wifi and and some children's toys. The car was quite new (though the spare tyre was flat so I was offered another car straight away). The vehicle was in good condition, a few scratches here and there but fine. Returning the car was just as easy really and price depending I'd be happy to try Centauro (via 121) again.

fuel

Collect with full tank return empty.Feels like a con.

Superb from start to finish

Really easy to collect car as the desk was in the airport. Helpful lady behind counter. Car was lovely and new. The only difficuly was finding our way out of the car park; no signs!! Car return was simple.

Easy as 123 to book with

I would certainly recommend 121 car hire. They were friendly and helpful every time I had to contact them due to me changing my mind. On researching car rental for our holiday we discovered that a lot of rental companies given you the vehicle with an empty tank and you return it empty, the rental company can then charge you what they for the fuel. On discovering his I contacted 121 car hir who were able to find a rental company that had a full out full in policy. This means you rent the car with a full tank of fuel and you return it with a full tank of fuel. We felt this was better value for money as it was our choice as to what we paid for the fuel. in total we paid £220 for two weeks car hire using europcar at Alicante airport. Before committing to renting through 121, I researched what the cost would be if I hired directly through the hire company, and to my horror i discovered that it was vastly dearer than what I was going to pay hrough 121 car hire. I would highly recommend using 121car hire so much so I have already started researching the cost for next years car hire.

Easy, fast, cheap..

The site design was easy enough to navigate and after significant shopping around, it gave results that were by far the cheapest! Our provider 'Marbesol' did however give an extra charge upon arrival for fuel costs. This was unexpected and a hassle but overall it worked out cheaper than competition, if only at less of a margin. On the plus side we got a lift to and from the airport included in the price and the staff were helpful enough after persuasion of anything! Overall the site was clear, the provider let the side down a little but again in their favour for a week only an extra €28 was charged for me as a 21 year of driver. Can't complain at that! All that's required is full info upfront - no hidden fees, like much of the competition.

Family holiday in Spain

Cheaper than the rest and clear process to hire. The only small problem was when I collected the car the sales person at the office was trying to sell me more insurance. I never took it, but still a little unsure and unclear about whether I needed more insurance or not. Good new car, fast transport from Alicante airport to depot. Easy and speedy drop off. Worth using search engine to find this deal.

Good but hidden costs

I found the service quick and prompt, and the car itself was great; but I didn't realise the extra money I would have to fork out once I was there. I thought petrol was included in the price but I had to pay extra for that once I arrived, which I was really unhappy with. Other than that, I thought the ease of pick up and drop off were fine.

Yes happy would recommend

Just back from a week in Mallorca. Initially didn't particularly like the policy of returning the tank empty as you are charged for a full tank regardless. However, I think this is pretty standard for all car rental on the island and as it turned out we used the full tank after all! Not yet had my bill from Budget for the full tank of fuel, but led to expect it will be about 80 euros. Good central location for picking up and dropping off at the airport itself (not to be underestimated). However, allow for queuing time - it was really busy even at the end of June. The only thing that I can think of to improve the service would be to know precisely where to collect the car from - I had never been to Palma airport before so had to ask around where to find Budget (incidentally they are now part of Avis so these are the signs you need to head for - just a v small Budget sign on the desk itself)

Playa de las Américas

Available locations in Playa de las Américas:

Have you ever seen a black sand beach? I know, the idea seems ludicrous. Then again, if one such place did exist, then wouldn't they be, by the principle of uniqueness, even more exquisite than white sand beaches? Well, why don't you see for yourself? This holiday, pack your bags and head to the Canary Islands in Spain, particularly to the wonderful island of Tenerife. There, get a cheap car hire in Playa Americas, one of the beach resorts in the long coastline of Tenerife. However, unlike the other resorts, Playa Americas actually has sand the color of ebony. That's right, instead of the pristine white sand that other resorts seem to love flaunting, Playa Americas actually dared to swim against the current and use black sand as their trademark. Incredibly, this strategy works quite well and Playa Americas is actually one of the more popular beaches in the area. There's a lively and bustling night life that will satisfy any party animal's thirst for fun and excitement. There are also several restaurants around the place so you're gourmet tastes could be satisfied. Just be sure to get a cheap car hire in Playa Americas in order to have an easier time reaching them all.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).
