Customer Reviews
Madrid Car Rental
Thanks Michael. Good pick up experience. The staff in Madrid were helpful and friendly.
Madrid Car Leasing
My experience with UDrive Car Leasing was great when looking for a long term lease whilst travelling in Spain. The whole process from start to finish was seamless and extremely easy and stress free. The staff in both Australia and Spain were very well organised and helpful in the booking, pick up and drop off process. The car was brand new and exactly what I was expecting on arrival. I've dealt with a number of car hire companies in the past, however UDrive has been the best in regards to value for money and customer service. I have no hesitation in recommending UDrive to anyone looking to lease a car in Europe in the future. I will definitely be a return customer next year.
Madrid, Spain Car Leasing
We leased a Citroen Cactus sedan for 5 weeks of a 7-week tour of Spain and Portugal. Communication from UDrive was excellent leading up to departure, with clear instructions on the various paperwork to be completed. Collection of the car near Barcelona airport was straightforward, and certainly easier than the subsequent leap onto the freeway heading through and out of the city. But once in the countryside, and having worked out which stick was for indication and which for the wipers, we found the car to be an excellent way to get around. The features of the car were excellent, including the rear view mirrors providing a clear view of the nostrils of the speeding Spanish driver a few millimetres behind. Luggage capacity was good and as described, and the GPS was an enormous help, particularly in negotiating the smaller city roads and the multiple freeways.
We dropped the car in Madrid, again near the airport and close to the motorway. The address was a bit hard to find, but once there the process of completing the transaction was ridiculously easy with the friendly, multilingual staff.
Thanks for all your help. I will willingly recommend your services to friends.
Car Leasing in Spain & France
Just wanted to let you know that the Renault we leased through you at udrive.com.au was great. It was perfect for our 5 week holiday in France and Spain. The whole booking process with "Udrive" was smooth and easy. Pick up, drop off and paperwork at Barcelona was all good and we had no problems at all with our brand new Renault Arkana. It was a really lovely car to drive. Thank you so much for your help arranging our car lease. I would highly recommend leasing a car rather than hiring one in Europe and I would definitely use "Udrive" in future. Thanks again for your professional and helpful service. Kind regards, Linda
