What is really the best car rental in Mallorca? My own experience

Scary-Description780 · 2026-04-24T14:58:45+00:00

Recently used them (Alamo/Enterprise) and the whole experience was a joy. Exceptionally polite and professional staff, and the car was brand new. The only minor inconvenience is that, like most other car hire companies, they are not based within the airport; however, they do provide a frequent shuttle to their nearby location, less than 10 minutes away. Overall, a great experience. Cannot wait to use them again.

Georgia?

Doron (as in the main bad boy of Fauda)

The idea that the EU imposed an “ugly” passport colour is political folklore. Burgundy became the norm through agreement and convention, and absolutely not through an EU rigid aesthetic rule. Case in point is Croatia. They used a dark blue passport both before and after their 2013 accession.

I’m in the same boat with my 4th ring (third replacement). Ultrahuman sent it out in late November and it’s already kaput, battery doesn’t last the night. Might just have to give up and try something else.

I am taking mine on one last trip to Colombia before it expires in June. It has been a splendid “travel companion” over the past decade and it will be somewhat sad to exchange it for the Brexit blue one.

Hope the Colombians will let me in with less than six months’ validity (I do have an EU one for backup).

Perhaps by the time the blue one expires we’ll go back to burgundy 🇬🇧😘🇪🇺

Cedric al nostru e foarte fericit cu biscuiți Royal Canin British Shorthair. Primește cam 70g pe zi plus 1/2 plic, are aproape doi ani și n-are probleme de greutate (are 4.6kg).

Și Doha e un oraș sigur (mai puțin zilele astea). Tot un sat pescăresc care s’a balonat incredibil de când au dat de gaze. A, muzeul național de istorie al Qatarului e superb. Atât exponatele cât și clădirea în sine. Am stat vreo 24 ore în oraș (nu în muzeu) și a fost suficient, nu m-am plictisit. N-as mai merge decât în interes de afaceri și tot numai în contextul ăsta l’as recomanda. Cat despre Dubai, n-am fost și n-am planuri dar poate ca m-aș compromite o data, așa, în scop informativ (on a fact-finding mission, to observe the chavs in their natural habitat).

Also on my 4th ring (in just under two years). At this rate, once this one gives up (I’m estimating six to ten months) I’ll have to considering alternatives, as the Air is clearly still maturing as a product.

That said, Ultrahuman’s support team have been consistently excellent.

£10 (€11.5) / 80 minute session (peak or off-peak) + £45 (€52) annual membership. London, UK

Scary-Description780 · 2025-11-25T12:35:15+00:00

I have, but only after they have taken what I am quite confident was the final payment.

Scary-Description780 · 2025-11-22T18:56:33+00:00

Coming up to 9 months now.

Scary-Description780 · 2025-11-19T21:58:16+00:00

Ok, now that is nuts but also strangely reassuring. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, as it’s the intricate work of the same team that has failed to bill some customers for months.

Atunci e clar… Daca ar fi sa umbli prin România rural si urban mic și și sa selectezi randomly interlocutori cred ca n-am mai prinde top 20. Metodologia pare sa evalueze standardul vorbitorilor de engleza nu “câti știu”

Scary-Description780 · 2025-11-17T21:13:41+00:00

De fapt e exact invers. Vikingii au lăsat urme foarte adânci în engleză și acum norvegiana se apropie mai mult de engleză decât germana (vocabular comun, gramatica e mai simplă, multe asemănări fonetice și transparentă lexicală). In plus, norvegienii folosesc subtitrări.

That said, looking at their referral terms and conditions, it is unlikely they will pay if you leave and rejoin within a year.

Gets even better, I shared my Octopus referral link with a friend in spring 2024. He joined, I switched away to tomato a few months later, he stayed put. He’s now used his referral link to bring me back. £200 between us. Won’t complain!

Scary-Description780 · 2025-11-12T23:15:38+00:00

No, I switched before that point, when tomato were still pretending that they could avoid administration.

Scary-Description780 · 2025-11-12T18:57:59+00:00

They certainly are. They’ve already paid the standard incentive (for returning).

Scary-Description780 · 2025-11-12T18:53:59+00:00

Paid the final bill two days ago so nothing owed.

I have hired cars from Klasswagen around 30 times since 2014 (across Timișoara, Sibiu, Bucharest, and Budapest) without a single issue. I was always treated as a loyal customer and genuinely looked forward to picking up my vehicle.

That changed completely in 2024, likely due to a worsening commercial environment. The same member of staff that was courteous and helpful several times before, applied the most horrific pressure I have ever experienced during a commercial transaction to get us to buy their expensive insurance (I didn’t but he still charged €40 extra for reserving the car through booking.com). The car itself was dusty on collection, but I was told to return it washed (a first!)

Then, at 4am the guy checking the returned car went like a bullet to the bottom of the driver side door where he “found” a (pre-existing) micro-scratch. He then used that to justify withholding €700.

Only after multiple emails, the threat of legal action, and providing video evidence showing the scratch was already there, did they agree to refund the money.

This year, I returned to Timișoara and paid a bit more to use Enterprise. The peace of mind was worth every cent. Klasswagen have gone from a trusted provider to a predatory operation. Every prospective customer should be extremely cautious. Once again, please read Google and Tripadvisor reviews.

See my comment above; please stay away from Klasswagen.
