Booked Dacia Duster got Citreon C3

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.

Dear Paul,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent experience with TopCar rent a car at Lanzarote Airport.

First and foremost, I want to extend our most sincere apologies. At TopCar, we take great pride in our fleet and our service quality, which is why reading your comments about the car you received truly saddened us. Even though the Citröen C3 is a model within the same category you booked, it is clear its overall condition did not meet the high quality standards we aim to deliver. We have already addressed this with our Lanzarote fleet management team to ensure it remains an isolated incident.

As a family-oriented car rental company in the Canary Islands, our priority is always the comfort and satisfaction of our guests. We are incredibly grateful for your continued loyalty and for choosing us again for your upcoming holidays this September.

We have already contacted you directly via email to fully resolve your requests and ensure you have a much better experience this time.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family back to Lanzarote and delivering the flawless holiday experience you deserve.

Warm regards,
The TopCar Team

Dear Peter,
Thank you so much for choosing TopCar for your trips to the Canary Islands! We’re so proud to know that we’re your go-to choice in the archipelago. Regarding your comment, we’d like to clarify that our car rental service currently operates exclusively in the Canary Islands, so you may have confused us with another company during your experience in Italy. We’re thrilled to know that you always choose us when visiting the Canary Islands, and we’re already looking forward to welcoming you on your next visit. Thank you for being part of the TopCar family!
Kind regards,
The TopCar Team.

Beware and do not book

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

Dear Adrian,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
At TopCar, the safety of our customers and their families is our highest priority, and we are genuinely sorry to learn that your experience caused frustration and concern.
After reviewing your case carefully, we would like to clarify several points.
Firstly, we sincerely apologize for the condition of the tyre on the first vehicle. This clearly fell below the standards we aim to provide, and appropriate corrective measures have been implemented internally.
Regarding the coverage and the deposit: We would like to clarify that as stated on our website, when hiring with our Super Cover, credit cards require no deposit, but debit cards carry a standard €200 deposit as a guarantee.
Concerning the second vehicle, when you contacted us regarding the warning light, our replacement procedure and temporary security deposit requirements were explained in accordance with our rental conditions while the vehicle could be assessed. Our technical inspection has since confirmed that the vehicle’s engine and power systems were operating correctly.
That said, we fully understand that experiencing a warning light during your trip created understandable concern and inconvenience.
For this reason and acknowledging the poor start to your rental experience, our Customer Service Manager is contacting you directly to confirm a full refund of your rental and the cancellation of the towing fee as a gesture of goodwill.
We regret that your experience did not reflect the service standards we strive to deliver and appreciate the opportunity to review and learn from your feedback.
We hope you can give our Canary Islands car hire service another opportunity in the future to show you our true standards.
Kind regards,

Dear Julia,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your car rental experience did not meet your expectations and that you encountered an unusual wait time.

At TopCar, we strive to provide a fast and transparent car hire service in the Canary Islands. Although our online check-in speeds up the data collection, current regulations and our general terms require our staff to physically verify your original documents (driving license and passport) and payment method before signing the agreement and handing over the keys. Occasionally, simultaneous flight arrivals at the airport can cause high traffic peaks, leading to longer lines at the counter.

Regarding our optional extras, our sales policy is based on providing transparent advice; our staff informs customers about options such as Super Cover (SCDW) with the sole purpose of helping them understand how to waive or reduce the deductible under Basic Coverage and travel with complete peace of mind—it is always a 100% voluntary choice.

We have been unable to locate your rental agreement using your profile details. We kindly invite you to contact us at topcar.es/en/contact with your booking number so we can investigate what happened directly with the branch team.

Sincerely,
The TopCar Team

Dear Dave,
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed driving our car around the island roads.

The battery went flat when we arrived…

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 Bradley,

We are really sorry to hear that this situation caused you stress during your holiday.

To clear the air and be totally transparent with you, our maintenance team thoroughly tested the car's battery and entire electrical system as soon as it arrived, and everything was actually in perfect condition.

Regarding the deposit, it is never our intention to hold onto it. However, since the basic insurance was chosen, roadside assistance and towing aren't covered unless you add our Super Cover (SCDW). Because of this, our team had to follow the standard procedure.

For future visits, we highly recommend our Super Cover protection, which completely waives the deposit, ensuring a seamless and worry-free experience.

Best regards,
The TopCar Team

I am very dissatisfied with the work of TOP CAR Gran Canaria

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

UPDATE: Dear Egidijus, we have sent several emails to you. The first one was sent on the 20th of March, we have just re-sent you this first email. If you did not receive the first email it is either due to an incorrect email address or that it ended in your spam folder. We are really trying to help you solve this issue, as according to our bank records the money was refunded. I have been informed you have replied to our last emails, I really hope this matter gets clarified and resolved soon.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. At TopCar, we deeply value honesty, transparency, and the satisfaction of our clients, which is why we would like to clarify what happened with your car rental at Gran Canaria Airport.

First, regarding the vehicle, our fleet availability relies on categories rather than specific models. You booked a Group B (manual) and were provided with a Group AA (automatic). While this model is slightly more compact, automatic vehicles feature a higher market value and rental rate on our website.
Regarding the €200 deposit, our TopCar terms and conditions and website FAQs state that while our Super Cover insurance removes the excess for credit card holders, a standard €200 security deposit is mandatory for all rentals processed with a debit card as a guarantee.
We would like to reassure you that TopCar strictly honored its word: you returned the vehicle on March 1st, 2026, and our team successfully processed the €200 refund on March 3rd, 2026, just two days later. Please note that the time it takes for this credit to reflect on your account depends entirely on your bank's processing times. Additionally, our customer service department formally replied to your internal inquiry on March 20th, 2026, confirming the transaction was correctly processed on our side. Please check your inbox and let us know if you did not receive this answer, as this might mean the email you provided when opening your case was incorrect.

We remain at your disposal at www.topcar.es/en/contact if you need further assistance.

Best regards,
The TopCar Team

Good Experience with TopCar

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.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and wonderful review of your experience at Lanzarote Airport!

We are thrilled to hear that everything went so smoothly, from the straightforward booking and quick 10-minute pickup to the seamless drop-off. It is especially great to know that the infant seats were perfectly clean and ready for your little ones, as we know how important comfort and safety are for family trips.

Knowing that our modern fleet helped you explore the beautiful landscapes of Lanzarote comfortably and efficiently is the best reward for our team.

Thank you for your high recommendation and your trust in TopCar. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back on your next return trip to the island! Safe travels!

STAY CLEAR OF THIS FRAUDULANT COMPANY…

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

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your response. We would like to address your concerns directly and clarify our procedures:

Any cover, insurance, or booking extras purchased through Jet2 or other third parties fall under your agreement with that platform. TopCar is not a party to those third-party contracts, and any claims or disputes regarding services purchased through Jet2 must be directed to them.

As specified in our rental terms, it is always mandatory for the primary driver to either present a valid security deposit or purchase our direct Super Cover. We strongly encourage customers to read all contractual terms before booking.

A clutch can unfortunately be severely damaged or burned out within two days or fewer depending on driving style and vehicle usage. Furthermore, as outlined in our terms and conditions, damages resulting from misuse or internal mechanical abuse (such as clutch damage) are not covered by standard insurance or third-party protection.

If you wish to have your file and the technical inspection report re-examined, please reach out to Jet2's customer support team directly with your reservation details.

Kind regards,

The TopCar Team

Dear Benjamin,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. At TopCar, we take transparency and customer satisfaction very seriously, and we would like to clarify this situation.

According to our records, a child seat was successfully registered, provided, and delivered to you at the time of vehicle pick-up.

As our customer service team previously informed you in your support case, any discrepancy or non-use of an issued item must be reported immediately to our staff during delivery. Regrettably, we cannot issue refunds for equipment that was provided.

We appreciate your understanding.

No deposit back

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.

Dear Astrid,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. First and foremost, we sincerely apologize for the delay in our reponse to your initial inquiry. Transparency and close contact with our customers are core values at TopCar, which is why we have addressed this internally to ensure it does not happen again and all customers receive a response in a timely manner.

Regarding your €900 deposit, we would like to reassure you that the refund was successfully processed by TopCar on March 20th, just one day after you returned the vehicle at our Lanzarote airport car rental office.

As our team recently informed you via email (attaching the official bank receipt), once we release the deposit on our end, the time it takes for the funds to reflect in your account depends entirely on the banking institutions. Unfortunately, car rental companies cannot accelerate these banking timeframes.

Since the transaction receipt has been provided, we kindly recommend contacting your bank's customer service directly with that document so they can trace the funds on their side.

We deeply regret the stress caused by our delayed communication. We value your trust and hope to provide you with the seamless Canary Islands car hire experience you deserve in the future.

Best regards,

Terrible service won't use again... ever!

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.

Rude staf,extra credit card churge

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.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we would like to clarify what happened regarding your vehicle assignment.

After reviewing your rental agreement, we can confirm that you were provided with a Dacia Jogger, which is a model that belongs strictly to the 7-seater category you had booked. While we use models like the Skoda Kodiaq as examples of the vehicle size and capacity on our website, the Dacia Jogger fully complies with the requested segment, passenger capacity, and space requirements for that category.

Regarding your comments about the cleanliness of the car and the service at the counter, we sincerely apologize if these did not meet our usual high standards. We have already forwarded your feedback to our quality and local office teams to ensure our preparation and customer service protocols are strictly followed.

As for the deposit, we always aim to be transparent about our payment policies depending on the rate and card type used.

We appreciate your comments as they help us monitor our services, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more seamless experience in the future.

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.

Dear Julie,

Thank you for your follow-up feedback. At TopCar, we deeply value transparency, honesty, and close communication, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration and long waiting times you experienced at our Fuerteventura Airport car rental office. We would like to reassure you that your previous review was not deleted by us, as we genuinely welcome all feedback to improve our services.

We have thoroughly reviewed your case in our CRM system, and we want to clarify two vital points regarding your experience and the communication you received:

The Waiting Time & Compensation: We sincerely apologize for the delay on February 16th. This was a consequence of an isolated logistical issue with our external cleaning provider in Fuerteventura, which does not reflect our standard quality service across the Canary Islands. We have already taken strict measures, replacing this service with our own internal staff to ensure a seamless experience.

The 70 € Difference (Currency Exchange): We would like to officially confirm that TopCar did not charge you for refuelling, nor did we apply any penalties. As detailed in our general terms and conditions, we charge and refund all deposits exclusively in Euros (€). Your €1,200 deposit was fully refunded in its entirety (€1,200) on 02/03/26. The 70 € difference you see in your statement is unfortunately due to the currency exchange rates, fees, or devaluation applied directly by your international banking institution during that period. TopCar cannot control or benefit from these bank charges.

Our customer service team sent a detailed email explaining this transaction on March 17th, including the banking receipts. We kindly recommend that you contact your bank with those documents to review their currency conversion policies.

We deeply regret that our automated assistant gave you the impression of a delay in communication. Your feedback helps us refine our customer care, and we hope you might give our Canary Islands car hire service another opportunity in the future to show you our true standard of excellence.

Sincerely,
The TopCar Team

Convenient, airport pick up, competitive price

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!

DON'T use Top Car

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.

We had a great experience with Ruben…

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.

Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful experience! Traveling late at night with a family while tired can be very stressful, and we are so glad that Rubén at Tenerife North Airport was able to help you calmly and efficiently. Providing a larger van to ensure your whole family was comfortable is exactly the kind of helpful service we strive for.

We will make sure to pass along your kind words directly to Rubén and the team at Tenerife North. Thank you for choosing TopCar, and we hope you and your family have a fantastic and comfortable stay in Tenerife! Safe travels!
