Booked Dacia Duster got Citreon C3. Collecting the car from Lanzarote airport the lady said to take pictures of all the damage, no wait, you have super insurance so you don't need to. The car was covered in dents, scratches, scrapes, chipped paint and damage. I couldn't possibly take pictures of all the damage as there was no panel without damage. Accelerating from 15kph to 50kph the engine rattled to the point that I wondered if it would drop out. The car was a shed on wheels and probably the worst in the Top car fleet. I have used Top Car the last 4 years and I have previously given their cars an excellent rating but, sadly, this is not one of them. The car has done over 65000 km and drives like it has. I am going to Lanza in September and have a car booked through Top Car again so I hope the next one is back to their usual standards.

I have used TopCar services in the Canary Islands for the third time and once in Italy.

Beware, if you are about to click book now with TOPCAR then read this first.
We booked a car rental with TopCar and added full
cover for all coverage. Upon arrival the wait yondesm was long but that is normal. They made me use a credit card even though it states you can use debit card with full cover but agent advised that even with full cover and dept card you must pay €200 deposit.
The first car these clowns gave use was a Citroen berlingo and was filthy with sand everywhere inside and out. Baby car seat was filthy. We took the car as was told nothing else availed. Upon arrival at our hotel my 6 year old son said daddy look at the tyre. There was cords coming out of the tyre. I called Tovar immediately and they said drive slow and bring car back in the morning. So great start to holiday.
We arrived back with car at airport next day and were told that it is not so bad. I attach photos for all to see. They gave us a Citroen jumpy. Seems ok at first. We then next day took a trip to popcorn beach and upon arrival car lost all power and stop car engine fault appeared which I attach photos of.
I contacted TopCar and they said we cannot drive the car and must pay them a deposit of €1,200 before they will tow the car and bring us to airport. Absolute scammers and thieves with blackmail tackticks to get tourists. I then said this is enough you put my family in DANGER 2 times
In 2 days. I left the car in parking and called a taxi. We are here with 1 year old baby and 6 year old boy. This is rediculous to treat customers like this. After taking taxi to airport I have back keys to
Topcar and they said they won’t refund me and tow car away.
I went to autoreisen which was super and helped in every way. Car was pristine clean and
Cost half the price of these topcar scammers.
I sent email to TopCar and no reply until WhatsApp message today stating that I must pay €98 for towing because their mechanic says car is fine. So they state car with loss of power and engine failure stop car is a perfect car to rent in their fleet and you must ignore those lights. Absolute clowns and scammers. Bravo topcar bravo for this scam.
Pleas ddo t put your family in DANGER and rent elsewhere

Had to wait for a pre booked car and already checked in for one hour. Don’t think that’s acceptable
Furthermore they try to convince you to pay extra for additional stuff. Never again.

Great car. Nice and clean. Drove nicely around those roads. Easy pick up and drop off at the airport. Fantastic service. 😀

The battery went flat when we arrived at the hotel, the very next day after receiving the car, and then I was told I cannot get my deposit back until the mechanic says that it was not my fault. (This was already after a week of them receiving the car) When we got to the car in the beginning from TopCar, it was on and started, so that already says that there was a battery issue...

Dear Top Car and readers.
I was going to write a negative review about Top Car's money refund. However, this misunderstanding was not TOP CAR's fault, but apparently my bank, which does not accept money ... maybe there were some difficulties with the correspondence, but in the end TOP CAR fulfilled its obligation, so I withdraw my negative opinion and fully responsibly declare that I TRUST TOP CAR and am grateful to THEM for the service.
I will definitely use TOP CAR's service again in the future without hesitation

We had a really good experience with TopCar at Lanzarote Airport. Booking Process was straight forward. The pickup process was straightforward (had to wait 10mins for delivery)and the staff were friendly and helpful, getting us on the road quickly with no hassle.
The car we received was clean, modern, and in excellent condition, exactly what we needed for getting around the island comfortably. The 2 infant seats that we booked were perfect and clean. Driving was easy and fuel efficiency was great, which made exploring Lanzarote even better.
Drop-off was just as simple and efficient, with no delays or issues. Overall, the service felt professional and well organized.
We would definitely use TopCar again for a return trip to Lanzarote and would recommend them for good value and reliable service.

STAY CLEAR OF THIS FRAUDULANT COMPANY EVEN BOOKING VIA JET 2.
we had two car hires both with extra charges for children's car seats on arrival even when booked with Jet 2.
Picked up on the 2.4.2026 default on one 5.4.26 2.5 days after pick up and only driven twice. Car broke down with 9 month old baby in refused breakdown cover even though this was taken with Jet 2 until we gave a 1200.00 deposit again having already been charged this at the airport. So in total 2400.00 on credit cards now on they are also charging 1640.00 for bad driving and burnt out clutch in 2.5 days I do not think so!!!!!!!!
This car was videoed on picking up and was not in great condition like other customer have stated unclean and rough and all extra cost this is illegal and we arexsuffering financial hardship and stress with this. We are taking legal advice also Martin Lewis on British TV to name and shame your customer service and money keeping on credit cards without agreement.
PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY JET 2 ALSO NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS COMPANY FOR ABUSING THE GOOD WILL OF CUSTOMERS AND FRAUD WHEN BOOKING CAR HIRE VIA THE TRAVEL COMPANY

Car was okay, Lanzarote Topcar. But.... I brought the car back on 19 March (today is 21 April) and still haven't received the € 900 deposit back (whereas everything was totally okay with the car: full petrol tank, clean and no extra damage to the existing ones). The lady at the desk said the deposit would be paid back within 24 hours.... Nothing. Have filed an official complaint and have reacted to their survey with this payback request as well. No reaction whatsoever.

We picked up the car from Lanzarote Airport, the directions/ instructions to locate the car were extremely poor, we we told it was around the side and up on top by the Bus terminals (had to ask twice), however this was not the case, after looking around for a frustrating 25 minutes I managed to locate it on a lower section which I can only describe as what felt like a scrap yard, all the cars here were filthy making them hard to spot. Finally got the car loaded and off on to our holiday, I decided to hose down the car with water to make the car feel better instead of all our clothes constantly getting marked by the dirt/dust, it was then I noticed the Tires are virtually bald. I tried to contact customer services/ Lanzarote booth to advise but there was no answer (tried multiple times), this would seriously concern me if there was any major issue with the car we would be left stuck somewhere. When dropping the car off I tried to speak to the people there but they couldn't care less and even shooed me away, didn't have time to deal with this any further as had a plane to catch so left it.
Great experience with topcar. Easy to pick up and easy to return P4parking. Really worth it to check in car in advance, car collection took 2min. I booked kia rio and i got kia rio, I took full insurance wich was 50e for 7days, no deposit needed or taken. I dont understand these bad comments here. Thank you Topcar! 5*

Booked a 7-seater over Easter and paid extra expecting something like a Skoda Kodiaq or similar. Instead got a small, cheap car that didn’t match what was advertised at all. The car wasn’t even properly clean.
The lady at reception was also a bit rude and unprofessional. She said with a cheeky smile she’d give me a better car… didn’t happen.
Also be careful with the deposit — instead of just holding it, they actually take the money. Ended up costing me an extra £38.
Overall not a great experience, feels misleading.

We visited on 16th February returning on 26th Feb 2026. We waited over 3.5 hours for our car. I have contacted them to complain twice, both times dealing with an AI chat bot. Each time I was told they would get back to me promptly. I still have not heard anything from them nearly 6 weeks later despite my complaint being 'prioritsed' by their system. We got charged 70 euro in credit card charges for the deposit. Outrageous! Do not use them. They don't care. The review I wrote on our return has mysteriously disappeared off Trust Pilot which us why I am making another post.

Just hired a car from TopCar in Gran Canaria and had a really smooth experience from start to finish.
The online check-in was quick and easy, and everything was ready when I arrived. The staff were well-trained and efficient, and I was on the road in under 10 minutes. The car itself was almost new, clean, and in great condition.
Drop-off was just as simple—park in the designated spot and hand over the keys, no hassle at all.
Definitely recommend TopCar if you’re visiting Gran Canaria!

They tried to charge me £149 for a puncture. The tyre was old and perished. I paid for a Hyundai Tuscon die to family size but was given a Volkswagen Taigo. They stated they didn't have the vehicle I ordered. We were squashed into the little old dirty Taigo for the week. The icing on the cake was the puncture. There was no wheel brace in the car so I had to wait for them to bring one to me. I then had to drive nack to the airport to swap the car with my wife and children. We lost about half a day as we stayed in the south. Airport is in the north.
The lady in the office took great pleasure in telling me the puncture was my fault and that I would have ro pay. I took photos of the old tyre. It was in a very poor state before the puncture. The lady in the return office appeared to take joy from inflicting as much stress as possible on myself and the children. She was at best heartless.
I chased them for 10 days for the return of my £1200 deposit. When we got it back £149 had been taken out. Thankfully I had photos and after 2 weeks of emails and stress the £149 was returned.
On 3 occasions I asked Top Car to provide me with an official complaint form. They are obliged to provide this under EU and Spanish Law. I have yet to receive a form and its over 2.months now.
If I had read the reviews I never would have used Top Car.
It is definitely not a cheaper option.

What a fantastic experience with you guys this evening.
Ruben was extremely helpful and diligent with our family, everyone was tired and he handled everything perfectly.
6 stars.

Reply from TopCar
We had a great experience with Ruben from the Tenerife North Airport. Our family was feeling desperate because the original car would not fit all of us inside he calmly helped us fix the situation by offering a larger van. It was very late at night and we were very tired. His kindness was deeply appreciated.
