While Vanrell was recommended to us and initially seemed convenient, I would not recommend them based on my experience.
On a Sunday, I contacted them via WhatsApp and they were able to deliver a Mini Cooper rental within a few hours. They didn't ask many questions or require a deposit, which seemed odd at the time, but we appreciated the quick service.
We used the car to explore Mallorca for several days without any issues. However, returning the car at the Mallorca airport was a bit tricky due to the unclear drop-off location.
A few days later, I was shocked to see a $160 fee added to my bill for allegedly smoking in the car and leaving cigarette ashes, accompanied by doctored photos. I don't smoke, and this felt like a clear scam. It seems they're hoping customers won't follow up on false charges.
Thankfully, I used an American Express card and am able to dispute the fee. If you do use Vanrell, take detailed photos of the car's interior and exterior before and after your rental to protect yourself.
Overall, be wary of rental car companies in Mallorca and consider other options if possible. My experience with Vanrell was unfortunately marred by this incident, and I wouldn't want others to fall victim to similar scams. read more
