car Rental Mallorca


I'm only sad that they closed their Cala Figuera office. It was a very convenient 2nd service point for inquiries or non-airport pick-ups and drop-offs, especially if you're staying in the south-east corner of the island.




My wife and I decided on this company because of the rave online reviews. According to Google Reviews, this company is the greatest car rental company on the planet with an average score of 4.9 out of 5. I am confused as to how this could possibly be the case when the car arrived with two dents on the side, which was not fixed prior to being rented out to me. I guess the dents are fine since the damage was memorialized in the pickup paperwork.
My main gripe is the payment process. Upon arrival at the airport pickup area, my wife and I were unable to make the payment for the longest time. The VIMA lady kept insisting that we enter our credit card PIN number into her machine as if we were using a debit card. We have been traveling through Spain for years and we never had to use a PIN number for any purchase because our credit card does not have a PIN number other than for cash advances. Further, I had made much larger payments in Spain in the weeks leading up to this car rental using the same credit card and without a pin number.
The lady then called the main office and connected me to a manager who required a 600 euro deposit without any paperwork in exchange for allowing me to make the 1140 euro car rental payment using an online link. We paid the 600 euro deposit instead of canceling the reservation and booking with another car rental company because we did not have any other choice in the middle of high season.
I do not understand how a company that has near-perfect reviews can comfortably shake down customers in the middle of high season. There is zero justification for a 600 euro deposit last minute solely because the customer is using an online link to make a payment instead of a credit card machine. I did not receive any paperwork acknowledging the 600 euro deposit or specifying when the deposit would be returned.
Avoid this company unless you want a massive headache when picking up the car. We have yet to see how drop off goes.
Update:
I checked with my bank this morning and obviously both the 1140 payment and the 600 deposit went through. At this point, since the 1140 euro payment went through and VIMA received the funds, VIMA should be returning the 600 euro deposit. Nonetheless, I did not receive any emails or communications specifying a deposit return timeline or that the return is being processed.

Car was less than a year mileage and clean, fit for purpose.


I booked a rental car with VIMA for €460. My flight was delayed by only a few minutes, so I immediately contacted VIMA to let them know I would be arriving late.
Instead of simply accommodating the minor delay, I was told I had to pay an additional €249 to be able to collect the car I had already booked and paid for. Since I had just arrived at the airport and had no practical way to get to my hotel without a car, I felt I had no reasonable choice but to pay it.
What makes this particularly frustrating is that VIMA's published information states that the out-of-hours pickup charge is €49, yet I was charged €249.
I subsequently disputed the €249 charge with my credit card company, but the dispute was declined under Visa's rules, so I am now trying to resolve the matter directly with VIMA.
My main complaint isn't that there was an after-hours fee. I understand that. It's the €249 charge for a minor flight delay on a rental that was already paid and confirmed, and the lack of a reasonable alternative when I arrived.
If you are booking with VIMA and have a late or potentially delayed flight, I strongly recommend asking exactly what happens if you arrive after the stated pickup time and considering whether their Premium option is worth the additional cost. I would not book Standard again for a late-night flight.
The car itself was fine, but the way this situation was handled left a very poor impression.

Stop scamming the people. Your representative was at the airport, received the key, and took the car. He can confirm this.
I don’t care about the €29—the bank has already refunded me. But I will make sure other people know about this scam.
The service was not bad at first, and the process of picking up the car was quick. However, the car was dirty inside, and it was also due for an oil change and routine maintenance when I received it. This raises serious concerns about how well the vehicles are maintained.
The biggest problem, however, was returning the car. Since my flight was at 9:50 a.m., I was asked to pay €29 to return the car before 8:00 a.m., according to their rules. I was clearly told that if I returned the car at 8:00 a.m. or slightly before, the €29 would be refunded.
I returned to the airport at around 8:10 a.m., handed the keys to their representative, and I am still waiting for my refund. I have sent several emails and followed up multiple times, but despite all my efforts, I have never received the €29 back..
Be very careful before renting from this company. If they cannot properly handle a simple €29 refund, imagine what the service could be like if you have a serious problem during your rental.
There are plenty of other car rental companies with much better customer service. Don’t risk your money or ruin your vacation over a few euros. I definitely would not rent from them again.
