Lacks clear support guidelines apparently and ignores its customers. I've had issues with two car rentals with CarDelMar and have contacted the Customer Support regarding both issues. The issues were the exact same to the dot (I was charged Border Crossing fees even though CarDelMar's description on the site I was booking the car implied there were no fees). Yet, even though the cases were identical, both support claims were answered differently. One agreed that I was to be refunded, the other one declined and told me it was my fault. After asking the support, how the same case could be handled differently I was ignored. Not to mention the long waiting time to get any reply to begin with. Terrible customer service - would not recommend CarDelMar.

My Car Del Mar Booking, This company provided an excellent service. My wife and I were picked up in the airport car park and driven by minibus a sort distance to the office where we picked up our car. The friendly staff checked my details and after an examination of the car (first time ever with any rental company) we were on our way. Seven days later we return the car, it was examined by staff, and were returned to the airport. Its a no brainer where I will hire a car next time I go to Portugal!

Poor Customer Service! Poor Customer Service! We had a problem with the car rental due to a flight delay. We informed the car rental and they said they will make a note of it. When we arrived, there was no car for us, and then we were forced to pay extra for a worse car that did even feel safe to drive. CarDelMar was quite useless resolving the issue with the car rental at the time and also replied to our complaint that they cannot help and cannot refund the extra money we were forced to pay. So, basically all they are good at is withdrawing money from our credit card but when it comes to the quality of the service, they dont seem to care much.

I have been reading a lot of negative feedback… I have been reading a lot of negative feedback here about Cardelmar. But I think people mistake the services of Cardelmar which only is to provide a voucher with a cheaper fare to any rental car company they deal with and an insurance to cover the franchise in case of damages to the vehicle, and the car rental company itself. If I'll be late to pick up the car I assume I have to make contact with the rental car company, their phone number is written in the voucher. By instinct if I'm presented with a company I don't know, I will check the reviews on the internet or rent from the major ones where I know they will be professional. Cardelmar stipulate on their contract that any extra insurance fee from the rental car company can be declined because they cover the insurance part. The one company you need to be careful of is the rental car company itself, and avoid the ones you don't know. I have been using their service for 3 years, 2 times renting a car in the Netherlands, one in Spain and one in Sicily. In Sicily, someone through a ball or kicked the side of the car and left a dent, and driving the awful roads full of holes and bumps of Sicily damaged the tires and the wheels. Well, when we gave the car back, the agent of Locautorent who is the intermediary for Alamo pounced at the wheels first and said they were considerably damaged, it was like he knew right away where the car would be hit. after a useless argument that one would consider it is the normal use of the car in that part of the country, with the dent on the side, they charged me 980€. I was really thinking that if some other car rental company would try to make me pay more than the voucher, Locautorent found the good way to make you pay much more. It was like being cheated and helpless. Back home I called Cardelmar and the lady on the phone said they knew locautorent was known for this practice. She also said I was fully covered with the insurance I took with them and after sending all the appropriate papers, I should get a refund. All of this happened on Sept. 20, 2020. I received an email yesterday saying that everything was OK and I'll get the refund within 21 days. To conclude, to my knowledge Cardelmar are good and competitive, and they do their job providing a better rate than directly with the car rental company. We have to keep in mind small rental companies will try their best to make more money out of you. Sticking to the majors will surely leave you out of trouble even if they are a bit more expensive.

Great Service - No Problems Experienced Booked a car for 11 days from Venice Marco Polo via CarDelMar, ensuring the agent had an on site desk. Booking was with Sicily By Car, whose desk was situated with other agents in the arrivals hall. Got upgraded to a higher class car with Sat Nav, so very happy with result. Handing car back was easy, so overall a very good experience. Thanks
