September 24, 2019

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Very disappointed First car had passenger mirror broken and multiple scratches Second car had a non working AC unit ( unusable in Malta in summer) Third car had a problem with the breaks. The breaks were sticking and making a noise. Fuel consumption was extreme and in my opinion car was dangerous Fourth car was full scratches Had to go to airport three times in holiday and spent about four hours waiting for different cars. no Maze representatives on site I will never us Maze again!

Pros: Excellent service, fast efficient and professional service. Car was new and and clean condition. Collection and return was fast and efficient.

Cons: Office was upstairs bit difficult to find as there was no Maze office had to go to Zest office and nobody was waiting in arrivals as promised. Phone numbers supplied didn't work. But eventually managed to get hold of them. Could really do with an office downstairs with all the other car rental companies.

September 2, 2019

Pros: The guy who handed the car over in the car park was really friendly and helpful

Cons: Got to the airport , the email said someone would be waiting if not ring this number, no one was waiting and the phone was switched off. Had to ask at another desk to find out where the office was, then still couldn’t find it as there isn’t a maze sign on the door, 4 people in front of me and 1girl on the desk meant I waited an hour, then she wasn’t overly friendly, not great

August 27, 2019

Pros: Nothing apart from a quick drop off.

Cons: I had to pay £40+ for a rep to attend the airport to handover the car. He wasn't there and another company dealt with it from their fully staffed office. Why the £40 charge, nobody could tell me. The car was a wreck, no way to lock the car or boot, unable to get into the boot to put cases in. The rear bumper was broken and held on by the fact the boot was holding it on, dents and scrapes all over the car, at midnight when we arrived it took until 0230 until we actually drove away with the car.

August 25, 2019

Pros: Value for money and the quick turnaround when I returned the car to the airport at the end of the rental period.

Cons: The rental desk was very difficult to find within the airport, and I had to wait for at least an hour to be served by the one and only member of staff working in the office!

July 21, 2019

Pros: price

Cons: No signs and wrong info on paperwork about pick up system at the airport, had to phone twice to find office/desk which was upstairs . Agent held 1300 euro deposit on credit card not 1100 as on email. On picking up the car agent couldnt find the key waited 30 mins for them to locate car and key ,Car was old and had damaged all over (25 pictures were emailed of damage on picking up). return system easy .

July 17, 2019

Pros: Nothing. Worse car rental company in te world. It’s a mafia.

Cons: We had a terrible experience with this car company. On the last day someone broke our rear light and strangely when we did the check out at 6am the gentleman that check out our car had received a text message advising that the light was broken. This is very suspicious and we question why someone would go to our road and ‘check’ the car the night before check out? Long story short we were charged £800 for a broken light even after we were told only £500 were going to be billed...

July 12, 2019

Pros: No representative at the arrival gate. No phone number active (2 provided both out of service) 1 hour lost before finding the desk that was closed and another 30 minutes before finding someone helpful.

Cons: Car not ready, they provide a brand new car after waiting 2 hours at the car rental parking (34°C ) with a 3years old baby.

July 5, 2019

Pros: Digitised through whatsapp communication. The people seemed helpful when called upon

Cons: It wasn't clear where the desk was, and we stood in a few queues before getting to the right place. The car was a shambles. Missing 3 hub caps, scratches all over, one wing mirror smashed and the other unable to move, given on empty petrol so needed to find station, no air con. Broke on the first day of any serious driving with no water in the coolant reservoir. It cost us hours of waiting to exchange for a new car.

Cons: The car was battered, smelt of cigarette smoke and didn’t run well. Mazes vendor choice prioritised their clients over others

Ford Fiesta
April 24, 2019

Pros: nothing, intend to complain, 3 hour delay as not met at airport as promised, no communication and provided with Citroen C1 not ford fiesta so breached contract. Terrible customer service, avoid at all costs as Goldcar masquerading as Maze. A blight on Discovery Car Hire

Cons: they are Goldcar that get terrible reviews, lied about meeting at airport and provided a smaller car that was not good for Malta's roads, completely breaching the contract. At midnight having waited for 3 hours felt little choice but to take the Citroen C1 stressed and with a pounding headache.

United Kingdom

April 23, 2019

Cons: In line for over an hour before it was our turn. Maze wasn’t visible anywhere and under goldcar which wasn’t anywhere on my documents.

Peugeot 108
February 3, 2019

Pros: Dropping the car off was easy.

Cons: There was no one waiting for us in the arrivals hall although it was clearly stated on the booking confirmation. We went to the tourist information booth, where we were told that Maze Car Rental is actually Gold Car Rental. We went to their booth and the woman there had never heard of Maze. As we were about to leave her colleague said that they actually are Maze although there were no signs showing that.

November 1, 2018

Pros: Nothing. Goldcar are a total scam merchant.

Cons: Again Goldcar. Non uniformed staff. No copy of initial damage report given. Damage "found" on return that could not have happened during the car rental due to private locked driveway being used. Attendant aggressive and stated "sure just let your insurance sort it" €711 down due to having to use a company known for being total scam artists.

October 23, 2018

Pros: The car l ordered was not available so replaced fairly quickly.

Cons: My instructions stated l would be met in arrivals hall with name board, however l was left standing with my disabled wife, after speaking to several other car hire desks l eventually found yours. My allocated vehicle was drivable but had been gm a accident, bonnet wouldn't close completely, there was damage to each wheel, wing mirror, bonnet, front grill and number plates etc. If l had took the young man's word car was fine at 2am in the am after our long journey ! !

August 8, 2018

Cons: I had to pay the ridiculous amount of insurance £160 (more than the car hire) because I was not allowed to pay 1200 euros on a debit card, had to be credit card. I covered myself at home before I left for £12.50 !!!. Very stressful time of waiting a long time in a queue and then a £160 hit ! I think I should have compensation. I bought through Maze, no where to be seen until you hunted down that it was gold car. Lee Bushnell

August 2, 2018

Pros: Efficient servise at the GoldCar desk. Efficient car delivery and return (night) at the parking lot.

Cons: No indication in the order or at the airport that i should turn to the GoldCar desk has caused me wasting a lot of time to find it by the tourists information desk (No sign of Maze Car Rental nor it persinnel has been waiting).

May 10, 2018

Cons: Maze did not have a desk at the airport and failed to meet us as advised. We had to deal with Gold Car a company we wouldn’t have used voluntarily after reading their reviews. Do Maze exist or are they a front for Gold Car?

United Kingdom
Peugeot 108
April 28, 2018

Pros: Really liked the car.

Cons: The picking up arrangements on the voucher did not apply e.g. I was told to wait at arrivals for someone to come. Nobody came. I eventually phoned the Maltese number and was told to go to Gold office. I also didn't like that the phone numbers provided for use whilst on the island didn't work. Wanted to let Maze know that I would be dropping off the car a little earlier but the number was permanently switched off.
