Vacation turned into nightmare
Scammers – Avoid at All Costs
I had a terrible experience with DoYouSpain, who provided a car through Goldcar at Rome FCO airport.
Upon arrival, I was met with extremely rude and unhelpful service from the Goldcar representative. She refused to release the car (a Fiat 600, which I had booked for a two-week vacation) simply because my driver’s license was not from the EU. This was despite the fact that I had my valid English-language driver’s license as well as an international driving permit, both of which meet the stated requirements.
I have rented cars all over the world without issues, but this was a complete nightmare. Instead of assisting me, the representative was dismissive and unprofessional.
When I contacted DoYouSpain to resolve the situation, their call center told me to cancel the booking and assured me I would receive a refund. However, after going through the cancellation process, no refund was ever issued.
This feels like an organized scam designed to take customers’ money without providing the promised service. I strongly advise anyone considering DoYouSpain or Goldcar to avoid them.
