Cons:
Its the 2nd time that I rent a car online, and the insurance they offer on their page, its not acceptable on the day of pick up!4.4 Mediocre
Mar 2020
Pros:
Yes, but the process is unnecessarily deceptive. The pricing seems favorable but than they hit you with exhorbidant insurance costs that exceed the actual rental cost. These costs are hidden until your at the counter. Lots of other add-on costs. VERY unpleasant process. I expected more from HERTZ.Cons:

Pros:
Excellent service from staff.Cons:
While in Europe, the gps provided with the car didn't use the quickest routes to different destinations. I tried numerous ways to use it but the directions were always the long route. I ended up using an offline map application on my phone for the correct and quickest route. This is disappointing since I paid a total of $110 for the gps that was inaccurate.Budget

Jun 2019
Pros:
Easy drop offCons:
The excess in the case of an accident was up to the whole value of the car! Usually on third party websites, it is around 2000-2500 euros. We had to pay 50 euros extra per day for the CDW. I should have known there is something hidden in the price shown on your website. Last time renting with you.2.0 Poor

Cons:
They did not have car I reserved. My flight was delayed 2 hours and they did nothing to help assist in finding me a new car. I ended up having to use a different company at 2x the cost.2.0 Poor
Oct 2018
Pros:
Wouldn't recommend.Cons:
First, when arriving at the car rental location in Madrid airport, the reservation we made wasn't valid because it's a third party. They said that even though we booked an economy car (Opel corsa or similar) we couldn't get one because the reservation specified a 4 seats car. They only offered a Mini car (a very badly equipped Mitsubishi) which was much more expensive than what we had reserved (165EUR) compared to the (96EUR) we had on kayak including insurance. Next, the insurance worth 40000EUR from kayak couldn't be used. We had to choose their more expensive insurance, saying that they don't work with Allianz. Last but not least, we didn't find the way to the car rental parking area in Madrid, so we parked it in the public parking right nearby. The consultant straight up refused to come with us for 5 minutes to guide us to the rental parking lot and told us we'll be charged the value of the parking ticket at the end of the day, when they would go pick it up. Overall, a horrible customer experience. Definitely not choosing Alamo (or Enterprise, the mother company, for that matter) again.Thrifty

Pros:
I rented car in spain,after explaining to customer service person that I would be doing quite a bit of driving she suggested an upgrade. I got a larger car that used diesel,a bit less expensive and better mileage.It worked out better for us,since 3 of us were traveling and all suitcases were able to fit in trunk.Happy with my rental.2.0 Poor
Aug 2018
Cons:
Hi, I went to Madrid Airport to pick up my car with the price of 140 EUR and an insurance that I already paid for 55$. But when I went to the agent desk, he told me that the insurance is fake and that I have to pay almost 450 EUR for both car rent and insurance which was completely outrageous. In the end, I had to cancel my booking. Please fix this or terminate your contract with companies like Thrifty which will only bring a bad name to your reputation.6.0 Okay

Pros:
When I bought this offer at Kayak it was after the credit card purchase where a special message appears saying extra fees may apply. Well you should better say your price will get increase over 500% due to extra fees. I ask for small economy car that's it. First catch, I was charge with full tank service. I thought ok it's nice. But when I returned the car they charge me for another managing fee. I paid over 120 full tank and when I returned the car with tank in 6/8 they refund only 30 euros. Most expensive gass ever! Then I paid for full insurance and because the car.was fully covered they.just don't care.about the car and gave me a car with bumps everywhere. Finally they took 300 euros from my credit card as deposit. In summary they own me 350 euros that I haven't received yet one week after service.Sixt

Oct 2016
Cons:
I HAVE NOT FINALLY RENTED MY CAR DESPITE THE CHARGE THE FULL AMOUNT. WHEN I SHOWED UP ON THE COUNTER (2 HOURS BEFORE IN ORDER TO DO THE PAPERWORK AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS FINE), THEY WANTED ME TO LEAVE 1.1000 EUROS AS DEPOSIT FOR 1 DAY RENTAL, OR PAY 70 EUROS FOR AN INSURANCE THAT I DID NOT WANT TO. AS A RESULT I DECIDED NOT TO RENT THE CAR AND WHEN I ASKED FOR A REIUMBURSEMENT OF THE RENTAL THAT I JUST RESERVED FEW HOURS AGO THEY TOLD THEIR POLICY IS NOT TO REFUND ANYTHING IF YOU CANCEL THE RESERVATION WITHIN 24 HOURS PRIOR OF YOUR RENTAL... VERY DISSAPOINTED AND WONT RECOMMEND THIS CAR RENTAL TO ANYONE. VERY BAD. I AM STILL THINKING IF SCALATE THIS ISSUE TO THE SPANISH CUSTOMER SERVICE IN ORDER TO GET MY REFUND OF THE RENTAL THAT I DID NOT ACCOMPLISH BUT I WAS CHARGED FOR.Ace

Oct 2019
Pros:
Probably my fault for not reading the fine print and booking a non refundable rental.Cons:
I purchased insurance when I booked. When I got there they told me if I didn't purchase an additional 67 euro of insurance id need to leave a1400euro liability deposit as well as 144euro deposit for fuel which would be locked out of my account for 30 days. I don't have that kind of money and didn't want to create overdraft fees, and wasn't willing to spend the extra 67 as I was renting the car for less then a day. Long story short I realized it was better to cut my losses with the 30something euros I'd already spent and just walk away. I'd never be willing to let over 1500euro potentially provide liability for other ace customers for over a month for a days rental.2.0 Poor
Aug 2017
Cons:
Long story short got charged for damage that was not there. I believe with all my heart they charged me a damage fee cause they know my american credit card will pay for it and they are right (no deductible too) Scam!!!!6.0 Okay
Jul 2017
Pros:
Car was clean and agent was helpful and the car was clean and well prepared.Cons:
Hard to find the gold car/Rhodium office that represents Ace rental cars. There was no description of the rental office location in reservation. the agent told me that if i was going to portugal i needed to purchase additional insurance. this was not mentioned anywhere in the reservation.2.0 Poor
Jun 2017
Pros:
When I got to the airport I asked for ACE and no one knew anything about it or where it was. So, I had to rent elsewhere. I am still not sure it even exists there! It is a terrible way to arrive in a country and find out my reservation was on another country ending doing a diffrent reservation with a diffrent company3.6 Poor
May 2017
Cons:
They didnt tell me that the car company is "goldcar", no body know what or who is Ace company in airport. Ace company rent from another car companies cars- they never mantion that! And also they didnt tell me that i supposed to go to Gold car or something familear and they didnt answer me when i was calling. The car i ordered was talken by other customer and i paid 60 Earo extra!!! to rent another car i wasnt ask.6.4 Okay
Mar 2017
Pros:
Overall the rental process was smooth and the car decent.Cons:
After pre-purchasing coverage, at the counter the agent tried to pressure me into buying even more coverage and then when I declined, they placed an $1100 hold on my credit card for any possible scratches or damage. There were also several small fees that were not included in the original quote.One location in Madrid Barajas Airport

Top tips for renting a car at Madrid Barajas Airport
- Car hire at Madrid Barajas Airport (MAD) is a great option, allowing you the freedom to explore the city and surrounding area in your own time. You will also have the added benefit of avoiding crowded public transport with your luggage in the comfort of your own vehicle. Just around 8 miles from the capital, you can connect directly to the city centre from the airport by a variety of routes such as the M50 or M40 ring roads. If you are leaving from Terminal 4, you can connect directly to the north south M12 motorway, which is perhaps the easiest and most direct. Journey times take around 30min.
- Make sure to check the fuel policy with your car hire at Madrid Barajas Airport as you may need to refill before returning your vehicle. You can find 2 Repsol petrol stations on the airport grounds, one that serves Terminal 1, 2 and 3, and another which services Terminal 4. You can find them both on approaching the terminals and they are open 24h for your convenience. There is also a Campsa petrol station opposite Terminal 1, which can be accessed after leaving the M14 slip road. Alternatively, if you are arriving from the east, there is a Galp station on Camino Cuartel, which you can find on exiting the M11 on Calle Ariadna.
- The city of Madrid is highly congested and the surrounding road networks deal with a large volume of traffic in general. There are several hours that constitute rush hours from 08:00-10:00 and from 17:00-19:00; however, you will also find another busy period in the afternoon between 13:00-15:00 so make sure to always give yourself plenty of time for your return journey. You may find leaving the city towards the airport after 19:00 is the least congested option if this works for your connection.
- Take advantage of the many services available in Madrid Airport near to the car hire facilities. Terminal 4 has multiple shops and many refreshment outlets, shower, and nap facilities in the Air Rooms, and a kids’ play zone for families. You can also find tourist and information points on all floors of the terminal.
