I searched for a rent car, filled out some informations needed. They send me an email, so I thought that was already the confirmation. I was complacent about the booking, when my girlfriend and I went there, to pick up the unit we thought we "are about to rent" the staff said, there is no car available today. So, she called someone and asked if there will be available unit next day and they said to us that they would have one. Then, she asked my mobile number and promised to send me a message within that day. Unfortunately, the day have passed without any single word from them. We had a bad experience with this company, the staff wasn't accommodating, not pleasant with their customers, looks rude and no greetings at all (frowny face). Never again with this rent a car company ever again. Customer service is really bad. They're not good in attaining what their customer needs.

Me and my friend tried to rent a car for two days with week ahead of time but then because of weather problems we rescheduled it via phone call with a worker from Monday to Friday and he said it is fine(!). Then on Friday, we wanted to get keys to a car from the office, they said that the reservation is visible but not in system and no car is available... After some talking they got us an Uber to a different rental firm (IberoCar) that they cooperate with. After we arrived with Uber and went into an IberoCar's office, the boss didn't know anything about our situation so we got into a weird situation and we had to explain to him everything.... - we wasted 1.5 hours to get a car that we had a reservation for.. In addition to that! Madlobos said that we will pay in IberoCar the same price with ESN card discount but no, the boss of IberoCar also didn't know about it so we payed different price. I don't recommend this company whatsoever. Poor case resolving

Very friendly staff! We rented two cars for one day, so it was perfect! Always responding, no lies. We saw a few minuses, but we aren't picky, so they didn't bother us, but I will share them just in case people get too salty. - change of location. Wanted the car at the airport but received it in the city centre. - dirty on the inside. - no liquid for the windows ( washing ) Also the cars didn't have radios which was a bit weird. Anyway, we got the Fiat Panda and it was great! I recommend this place and will be back for sure :)

Amazing service and communication. Rented an Automatic Car and when I inquired if I could get the car earlier they went out of their way to source a car from a neighbouring rental agency at the same cost. Provided pick up and drop of service which was an added bonus when travelling with my family of 4. Great communication, having the toll booth transponder is a must if venturing outside the city, and their one price all inclusive with insurance is hard to beat. Highly recommend to anyone.

Excellent services and Very professional team. Easy to coordinate via WhatApp and always available to take the calls. We received automatic transmission car on booking 24hours prior and received car at hotel door steps in the centro of Porto close to their main office in Porto. Car was in excellent condition and only 3K drive (almost brand new). We paid car hire fees during the receiving of car and the company arranged drop off services from the assigned location to our hotel at their expenses . I highly recommend to use their services when in Porto! Deserve 5*

Reliable and direct - we rented a car for a day. No hidden fees and no deposits - we paid the same price as shown on the website. The staff was nice and helpful, explained everything. The car did have some cosmetic damage, but everything was shown to us before the pick up. The pick up only took 15 minutes and drop off only took 1 minute. The cars have the Via Verde transponder inside too. Would definitely recommend.

I booked the car directly in their shop (rua Santa Catarina), the team was helpful, deal in line with selling arguments, easy process and the car was ready for the day after. I was a bit scared as I did not know what to expect for the price but the car was top (recent Seat Ibiza). The car as clean and we have been able to give it back very late (23h). I recommend. (I rented end of October 2022).

The customer experience was good. The staff was really nice and the process was smooth, not fast but ok. The proposition (no deposit, only one payment to make, no extras...) is respected and it is great. But our main problem was the car and obviously when you rent a car it is the main thing! We were given a car which obviously had been in some kind of accident. So we assumed it was ok and purely an aesthetic problem but once on the road we realised it was more than that. Luckily we mostly stayed on the highway. But the few times we were in town the car made a horrible metallic noise on the cobbled streets and even worse every time we had to maneuver to park. We didn't really feel at ease with this car. It's a shame because we loved the proposal and the reception but after that, we will not recommend this agency to our friends.

Terrible service. I made reservation for a fiat panda and instead of letting me know they didnt have a car available, they just left the automatic email saying it was waiting for confirmation. I had to call on the day of pick-up to find out they had no car available

HORRIBLE!!! Unfortunately I did not follow the advice and opinions of some here, but for the next ones who read me: RUN! First at the agency in the center of Porto after all the formalities which take 20 minutes, we are told that an Uber will take us to another agency further away because the rental car is there (of course we will tell you said only after all the procedures and not upon your arrival). After a 25-minute journey, the Uber dropped us off in an industrial zone closed by a barrier in which we had to find the agency on foot, which was located at the other end of the zone, about 1km away. On site, it is no longer the Madlobos agency but Iberocar. We repeat the same procedures as at the first agency for 20 minutes with an employee as friendly as a prison door. We are told that the vehicle will have to be returned to this same agency: out of the question! If we chose the agency in the center of Porto it is because our Airbnb rental is just a stones throw away, convenient for returning the vehicle. The employee doesn t want to but ends up giving in. She asks us to pay the deposit plus a security deposit of 50, ideally by credit card. We refuse because it is mentioned everywhere on their site that everything is done without a credit card. She tells us that when the vehicle returns, the 50 will be returned by bank transfer the following week, we refuse. In the end we are asked for our IBAN otherwise no car. This is the last straw and we decide to let go of the rental. We asked for an Uber to come and pick us up to take us back to the Madlobos agency in the center of Porto. After 30 minutes of waiting in full sun at the entrance to the industrial zone, the Uber picked us up and dropped us off in the center of Porto, but far from the agency. In the end we lost almost 3 hours! Madlobos: DISHONEST company TO AVOID!!!

HORRIBLE!!! Malheureusement je n ai pas suivi les quelques conseils et avis de certains ici, mais pour les prochains qui me liront: FUYEZ! D abord a l agence au centre de Porto apres toutes les formalites qui prennent 20mn, on nous annonce qu un uber nous emmene dans une autre agence << plus loin >> car la voiture de location s y trouve (bien sur on vous le dit qu apres toutes les procedures et pas des votre arrivee). Apres 25mn de trajet, le uber nous depose dans une zone industrielle fermee par une barriere dans laquelle on doit trouver par nous-memes l agence a pied qui se trouve a l autre bout de la zone a environ 1km. Sur place, ce n est plus l agence Madlobos mais Iberocar. On refait les memes procedures qu a la 1re agence pendant 20mn avec une employee aussi aimable qu une porte de prison. On nous annonce que le vehicule devra etre ramene a cette meme agence: hors de question! Si nous avons choisi l agence au centre de Porto c est parce que notre location airbnb se trouve a 2 pas, pratique pour ramener le vehicule. L employee ne veut pas mais fini par ceder. Elle nous demande de payer l acompte plus un depot de garantie de 50 , idealement en carte bancaire. Nous refusons car il est mentionne partout sur leur site que tout se fait sans carte de credit. Elle nous dit qu au retour du vehicule, les 50 nous serons rendu par virement bancaire la semaine suivante, nous refusons. Au bout du compte on nous demande notre IBAN sinon pas de voiture. C est la goutte de trop et decidons de laisser tomber la location. On reclame qu un Uber vienne nous recuperer pour nous ramener a l agence Madlobos au centre de Porto. Apres 30mn d attente en plein soleil a l entree de la zone industrielle le uber nous recupere et nous depose dans le centre de Porto, mais loin de l agence. Au final nous avons perdu pres de 3h! Madlobos: compagnie MALHONNETE A EVITER!!!

Scandalous!!! Doesnt even deserve a star! We rent a car from this agency in the center of Porto for geographical convenience! When we arrived there, the employee, who was not very friendly, told us that we were going to be transported elsewhere without explanation because the car was not there! It starts well and it reflects the seriousness of the company! We arrive at another agency (but not the same brand) after 25 minutes of driving and there, an employee who has forgotten the notions of reception also offers us a car to take back to her agency! A big charade, this was never indicated in their general conditions. Who would agree to rent a vehicle from an agency other than the one through which the reservation was made and also bring it back elsewhere?!!! A scandal, madlobos is a dishonest agency and clearly takes its clients for pigeons by ultimately asking for a credit card or an IBAN!

Scandaleux !!! Ne merite meme pas une etoile ! On loue une voiture dans cette agence au centre de Porto par commodites geographiques! Arrives sur place l employee, bien peu chaleureuse nous indique qu on va nous transporter ailleurs sans explication car la voiture n est pas la! Ca commence bien et ca traduit le serieux de la boite ! On arrive a une autre agence (mais pas la meme enseigne) apres 25 de route et la, une employee qui a oublie les notions d accueil elle aussi nous propose une voiture a ramener dans son agence! Une grande mascarade, cela n a jamais ete indique dans leurs conditions generales. Qui accepterait de louer un vehicule dans une autre agence que celle par qui la reservation a ete effectuee et de la ramener egalement ailleurs?!!! Un scandale, madlobos est une agence malhonnete et prend clairement ses clients pour des pigeons en demandant au bout du compte une carte de credit ou un IBAN!

One star too many for this agency that should be avoided! Very poor service and are very liars! Once the papers are completed you are told that the car is not there and you must go and pick it up elsewhere! Dont go to their house! They have to transfer my deposit to my account, we wont give it back to you right away! , watch your money!

On doit me virer ma caution sur mon compte, on ne vous les rend pas de suite! ,attention a vos sous!

After we had no success getting a car at the airport, we happened to pass the office. We were greeted immediately and very friendly and received an offer for a rental car (without a credit card!). The rest of the process was very uncomplicated, everything was explained to us in detail and comprehensibly and we were able to continue traveling in the reserved car two days later. The service was really great and we would rent a car there again at any time. Thank you!!:)

Nachdem wir am Flughafen keinen Erfolg hatten, ein Auto zu bekommen sind wir zufallig an dem Buro vorbeigekommen. Wir wurden sofort und sehr freundlich empfangen und erhielten ein Angebot fur ein Mietauto (ohne Kreditkarte!). Die weitere Abwicklung war sehr unkompliziert, es wurde uns alles detailliert und nachvollziehbar erklart und wir konnten zwei Tage spater mit dem reservierten Auto weiter reisen. Der Service war wirklich sehr toll und wir wurden jederzeit wieder ein Auto dort mieten. Vielen Dank!!:)

A company based on a fraudulent system. The cars are not on site, you have to take an Uber and a 30-minute journey to finally rent them from another agency. A shame. GO YOUR WAY!

One of the worst customer service ever. I rented the car, everything was fine to go and get the car, all I had to do was see that Im black and the car was no longer available. The girl who helped me, if it continues like this, will run out of customers.
