Based on 296 reviews analysed · Last updated 13 November 2026 · How scores work

The short version

Based on about 296 recent Google reviews of this desk (4 excluded, 43 of the rest star-only), TopCar at Fuerteventura Airport offers low prices and quick returns, but the clear and recurring problem is very long pick-up queues, frequently 1-4 hours. Cars are often reported as dirty or worn, and a meaningful minority of travellers report post-rental charges, desk-cover pressure or a different car than booked. Experiences are mixed: some off-peak arrivals are quick and trouble-free, and the web evidence (recent Trustpilot reviews, aggregator ratings) points the same way.

What travellers flag

Red flags (5)

Very long counter queues at pick-up are reported in a large share of recent reviews, commonly 1-4 hours with only one or two agents, even after online check-in. A second wait at the car park for a car still being cleaned is frequent. The brand's own replies on Trustpilot acknowledge waits of 2.5 hours and say counter staffing is under review.au.trustpilot.com au.trustpilot.com
Many recent reviews report cars handed over dirty inside or out, with worn or flat tyres, service or engine warning lights, or an empty washer-fluid reservoir. Replacement cars are sometimes reported as no better.
A recurring pattern of charges after the rental: fuel charges where travellers say the tank was not full at pick-up, 60 EUR for a missing emergency beacon, and puncture or repair costs taken from the deposit. No inspection is usually done at pick-up or return, so travellers rely on their own photos.
Several recent reviews report pressure or surprise costs at the desk. These include a choice between desk cover or a 900-1,200 EUR deposit charged straight to the card instead of blocked, extra insurance charges on top of broker or web cover, and a fee for an additional driver.top-car-hire.com
A notable number of recent reviews report that the booked car or category was unavailable and a smaller or manual car was given instead, sometimes after a long extra wait, or that a van or larger vehicle could not be supplied.

Green flags (5)

Returns are described as very quick and simple in many reviews (key drop and bay number, often under a few minutes), although no one usually inspects the car.
Many reviewers report the deposit refunded within about 1-8 days, with several reporting 1-2 days.
Low prices and good value are mentioned repeatedly, including cheap rates with full cover and a 200 EUR deposit option for debit card payers.
Staff at the desk and car park are often described as friendly and helpful, even by reviewers who criticise the waits, and several report no pressure to buy extra insurance.
Several reviewers report fast help after a puncture or fault, with a replacement car brought to the hotel or exchanged the next morning.

Before you go

Tick these off at the counter. (Nothing is saved; it's just for you.)

Take photos and a short video of the car at pickup, including wheels, windscreen and the fuel gauge.
Check the fuel level matches the contract before you drive off.
Decline duplicate insurance at the desk if you already have excess cover. Bring proof of your policy.
Check the closing time (07:00–23:00 daily). If your flight lands late, call the desk: some wait, others close on time.
Same-to-same fuel: photograph the gauge at pickup and at return.
