Car hire at Madrid Barajas Airport (MAD) is a great option, allowing you the freedom to explore the city and surrounding area in your own time. You will also have the added benefit of avoiding crowded public transport with your luggage in the comfort of your own vehicle. Just around 8 miles from the capital, you can connect directly to the city centre from the airport by a variety of routes such as the M50 or M40 ring roads. If you are leaving from Terminal 4, you can connect directly to the north south M12 motorway, which is perhaps the easiest and most direct. Journey times take around 30min.
Make sure to check the fuel policy with your car hire at Madrid Barajas Airport as you may need to refill before returning your vehicle. You can find 2 Repsol petrol stations on the airport grounds, one that serves Terminal 1, 2 and 3, and another which services Terminal 4. You can find them both on approaching the terminals and they are open 24h for your convenience. There is also a Campsa petrol station opposite Terminal 1, which can be accessed after leaving the M14 slip road. Alternatively, if you are arriving from the east, there is a Galp station on Camino Cuartel, which you can find on exiting the M11 on Calle Ariadna.
The city of Madrid is highly congested and the surrounding road networks deal with a large volume of traffic in general. There are several hours that constitute rush hours from 08:00-10:00 and from 17:00-19:00; however, you will also find another busy period in the afternoon between 13:00-15:00 so make sure to always give yourself plenty of time for your return journey. You may find leaving the city towards the airport after 19:00 is the least congested option if this works for your connection.

I reserved a car online few minutes before going to rental location. When I reached there the lady said I should have made reservation directly with them because the car I reserved online was not available and I will have to wait for 2 hours so that she can find same car for me! Or I have to upgrade and get a more expensive car. There was no one but me at that location, means they were not busy at all and there’s no reason for me to wait 2 hours. I understood that she was pushing me to get a car they were not able to rent easily. Secondly I took insurance for car when making reservation through Kayak. She said that insurance is not valid in Spain and was trying to sell me an insurance costing $100 a day!! I went online and got an insurance valid anywhere in world for $84 for a week. Car pick up and drop off was easy and staff was good there. Car itself was in good condition.

The car left me stranded in the middle of nowhere, had to have the car towed to somewhere and then returned the car the next day in a different city because it wasnt working the Alamo representative wouldn’t help me replace the vehicle with another one so I had to rent another car from a different rental company. Alamo put me in a dangerous situation giving me a car that didn’t function properly and didn’t do anything to resolve the issue.

I had a horrible experience as the speedometer went out in the middle of my trip in Barcelona. For 3 days, I called 10 different numbers for enterprise and no one was willing to help . They would recommend calling the emergency road service , but they would not help for replacing a car. Emergency road service would only tow the truck and would not help getting me another car. I had to use uber to get around . Finally, I had to take uber and go to one of their locations near main train station in Barcelona and was able to pick up another car there . I lost 3 days of my vacation dealing with the car issue. The only positive outcome was that the manager at the Madrid airport where I dropped off the second car was very professional and gave me credit for half of the rental cost, but I would have preferred not to deal with the car issue and enjoy my vacation as I had planned.

Thiago made us wait too too long. His customer service skills are very mediocre, the guy cannot even say Hi. I understand we get busy, too many customers drives you crazy, but doesn't mean you treat everyone the same. One advice, ask him to smile more often so he doesn't come out as rude to clients. Marta saved the day, she was excellent, customer service great. She helped us and also give is an.upgrade for our convenience.

I’ll start by stating that I booked this trip over the phone directly with an enterprise employee in advance. I arrived to enterprise rent a car 15 minutes before my pick up time, 12:00. There was a significant line which was to be expected as it was a holiday weekend however, my friends and I ended up waiting almost 2.5 hours to receive our car. I first spoke with an enterprise employee at exactly 12:03 and our car did not show up until 14:26h causing us to be late to an event out of town. When first speaking with the employee she advised me that the model of car I had reserved was not available and tried to upgrade me to a BMW 2 door convertible. I had specifically reserved a 4x4 large vehicle as we were five people in total with many bags between us. The enterprise team informed us they would bring us another car from a different office which as aforementioned, ended up taking nearly 2.5 hours from the time of check in to the time we departed. The saddest thing is that we were not the only party this happened to. There were two other groups who waited just as long as us in order to receive the type of car they had booked. Even more embarrassing, on one occasion when we checked in with an employee to ask for an estimated time of arrival for our car, he informed us it was coming “soon” and then proceeded to call other clients who had rented cars with enterprise and ask them when they would be returning their cars as they had surpassed their return time. Inconsiderate and a shame. Companies like enterprise need to ensure they maintain the appropriate quantity of cars as well as models for customers in order to avoid unnecessary delays and wait times. I believe the problem lies within the management of this branch as well as overbooking cars based on the assumption you might have “no shows” or cancellations seeing as when booking online there is no payment made up front. Moreover, we were not even offered a discount for the inconvenience. It’s safe to say I will not be booking with enterprise again.

Have just flown home. The check out and in process was smooth but they did not look over the car when you take it or on return, they just advise you to take photos. Having just landed, I have received an email with a €750 charge for windscreen damage which was there when I took it (I have photos as advised). They have also charged for 1/2 a tank of fuel when I returned 3/4. It is going to be such a headache sorting it out. Really disappointed. Like a windscreen replacement even costs that much anyway!! Total rip off. AVOID

Extremely disappointed with the service. The car I got was WAY SMALLER than what me and my family needed, which almost forced us to completely change our plans as our luggage didn't fit in it. We had to figure things out on the go. The company didn't move a finger to help us finding another car, not even paying the difference. I likely won't use the service again.

I have rented cars throughout many countries in the world and this has to be the absolute worse experience of the last 35 years. I had booked an SUV, but the SUV had a bad sensor so I could not take that vehicle. Instead, they gave me a small sedan (Corolla). When I asked for another SUV because that is what I paid for, they said that it was big enough and had no other SUVs available even though I saw several in the parking lot. They charged 50% fee of total rental for 1 day in France which was never disclosed when booking. The 50% of total rental did not include insurance or anything else so I was still responsible for any damage, so the extra fee was a complete money grab. What was I to do as it was too late to book a vehicle with another company in another country? The only positive was the fast return of the vehicle.

Absolutely terrible, Arrived about an hour and a half late, because flight was delayed, and obviously cannot use phone in the air. Lady at the desk then says, because we are "late" they don't have the car as ordered, only have several more expensive. That amount to 15e , PER DAY, more expensive, over a 13 day period, Basically doubling the cost - Robbery, and soaked. But, we were after an 11 hour journey, just wanted to get to the hotel and sleep. etc. Took some pics, of some obvious damage, but light wasn't great. Fast forward to return. Had had no problems, no close calls, nothing - car was always parked in an interior, private, "residents only" parking space. Upon return, the guy points out some minor cosmetic "damage", which looked, and he agreed, very old. Of course, I did not have a picture of it from vehicle collection...so ...despite his assurances that it looked old damage, and that they would not be charging the card.....when I received the email invoice there was e1100, in charges, for what the checkin guy agreed was old and cosmetic damage. I will NEVER AGAIN use OK Mobility, to rent a car, in any country - absolute rip off merchants. I advise to avoid them, as you would a Plague

The location is outside thre airport. They don't rent to people with US driver license - and Kayak assigned that agency even if they knew which license we had... Lucky for us that my mother had an "acceptable" drivers license from another country... but they couldn't transfer the reservation nor check us in with her data. As a result, we got to cancel the previous reservation loosing halfo of the money and then re do the reserve with the agency on site... REALLY BAD SERVICE FROM KAYAK
