" On the Auto-Europe voucher, the fee for extra driver was marked as 12 euro per day. Enterprise tried to charge 13 euro, and only because of my insistence, reduced it back to 12 euro. It's a small difference, but it seems to indicate that Enterprise are not completely respectful of the rates agreed in Auto-Europe's confirmation. This is bad. I have booked with Auto-Europe many, many times over the years and rate you high, but next time I may choose a car hire company other than Enterprise. "
" Enterprise Avignon TGV invite the customer to leave the pickup point with no documentation, neither the contract nor any documentation of the condition of the car's bodywork - just a promise of an email later, with no precision around what the email will contain. I don't think this is acceptable and it is the reason for my low rating. Paperless does not work in this context. I did ask for a paper agreement and got one, but it took ages to produce, and delayed our departure. The staff were polite but desperately slow. "

" Whilst happy with the car I was given, I accepted a smaller car than the one I booked and paid for because otherwise I would have had to wait a further 2 hours at least. people in front of me had already waited 1.5 hrs for their car as there seemed to be a problem getting cars back and turned around.

" Very poor experience in fact the worst I have ever had when hiring a car. Keddy/Europcar are the worst car renting company I have ever experienced. "
" Counter staff convinced me to upgrade car saying the one booked wouldn't suit. I relented and accepted extra charge but when I went to the car I found boot had electric charging cables and then found out that the car was a hybrid which if I had been told I wouldn't have accepted as I have never driven one. I have no idea how they work and I couldn't start it so I had to return to the desk which was a long walk in 30 degs and ask to be shown how it worked. After being shown I decided I didn't want a hybrid and had to again return to the desk to sign up for a different upgraded car. This was ok but it was parked in a different car park and my partner and luggage were in the original one. All init took me one and a half hours in very hot weather together a car and leave. I would never choose Keddy again. "

" We were extremely disappointed with our car rental experience with autoeurope. I had ordered specifically ordered an auto 4 door Japanese car with GPS. The staff Hugo who attended to us tried initially to get us to upgrade to a SUV which he claimed would be a comfortable ride. He then went on to tell us that the GPS we ordered will be additional charge & went on to charge us £90 Euros. On top of additional insurance to cover the insurance we had already taken. He proceeded to give us the keys and we asked about GPS he said it was already in the car. We proceeded to where the car was parked and found out he had given us a continental Fiat car! I went back to confront him and initially he tried telling me that it was stated as or equivalent! The reason we had chosen Eurocar over the other car rental was due of the fact that your company was the only one who advertised as having a Japanese car. After some back & forth argument, he conceded and proceeded to give us a Japanese Corolla & also told me if I insisted on Corolla the only GPS he had available was a separate Garmin system. We agreed given that we had already paid for it! When I unlocked the car, we found that the car already had a built in GPS system!! Extremely disappointed with the dishonest & additional unnecessary cost we had incurred. "

" No problems with Auto Europe but very disappointed with Sixt. "
" I have used Sixt previously without any problems. On this occasion I received a hard sell for additional insurance cover despite telling the Sixt person on the counter at Avignon TGV that I had additional Excess cover via a UK annual insurance policy. The Sixt counter person was very aggressive and I felt I was being treated as an idiot. I have been hiring cars in France for over 20 years, I speak French fluently, and have never received this kind of treatment. I dread to think what it would be like if you are British and don't speak any French. Also, within 2 hours of picking up the Citroen C3, there was an amber alert concerning checking the tyre pressures. Upon checking, the front passenger tyre was found to be below pressure (2 bar instead of 2.5 bar). As a result we had to go to another Sixt centre in La Valette sur Var to pick up a new car, which wasted half a day of our holiday. I was very surprised that this should happen so soon after picking up the car. I have complained about it in my review for Sixt. I have no issue with Auto Europe as I have used you before, but think you should be aware of the particular treatment we experienced this time with Sixt. "

" Incredibly unhelpful staff. In fact rude. Arrived with 3 adults and 2 children, who required car seats. All this was stipulated on the booking. Booked a Peugeot 308 or equivalent. Given a Renault Kaptur. I pointed out that the car offered was smaller than the car booked. They told me that they considered the Kaptur an upgrade. The boot was 25% smaller than a 308 and so we could not fit all our luggage. After 20 minutes in the 42-degree heat, had to cram everything into the front for the 3-hour drive. One car seat was defective, so that had to be replaced. We drove off only to find that the rear camera didn't work, the touch screen didn't work and the rubber seals around the sunroof came away. Brilliant. I called customer services, who apologised and agreed with me that the car was not an upgrade from the Peugeot 308. In fact, it was in the class below according to the customer service representative. That's totally unacceptable. We were lied to at Avignon TGV station. They agreed to switch the car because of the defects and the replacement was fine for the rest of the trip. In all, the worst experience I have ever had with a car hire company. To be honest I don't feel we should have even been paying for the hire in the end. I shall never use Sixt ever again and it has definitely impacted my view of AutoEurope too. "

The satnav system defied even my two children, who are much more into tech than I, and the driving experience wasn't great. The car was comfortable to ride in! "

" Been using Auto Europe for more than 10 years now and I always been a satisfied customer! "
" Very disappointed to see that the car I booked weeks before was not available unless we waited an other 2 hours. Which was not possible. So the staff sold it to me as an « upgrade ». But having an estate instead of a compact is not an upgrade to me. Indeed I know it might be more expensive in theory but to park a car like that anywhere is a challenge. And again I didn't book that type of car. They said that was the only car available which I found difficult to believe. "

" Auto Europe were very good. "
" It was all a standard procedure. The car bodywork was quite dirty and a previous hirer had somehow managed to get what looked like superglue over the bodywork and had then proceeded to try and remove it with a scourer scratching the bodywork. I was not informed the car was in this condition and immediately walked back to the office to inform the staff of what I found before taking the car away. The details of the damage was then added to my contract. Bit disappointing really. I am also still waiting for my 800 euro deposit to be returned having been told it would be returned immediately. "

" I have had good experiences with Auto Europe in the past but I would never choose Avis again as it is not the first time I have had a dirty car. "
" First car I was given was automatic. Second car did not have the GPS that I had pre-ordered. The car had quite a few dents. It stank of cigarette smoke. Car was very fuel efficient however. Most clients were having to come back to the service desk because there was something wrong with the car they had been allocated. "

" I would like a days hire cost refunded to me from Avis and would appreciate your assistance in recovering this. "
" The staff would not allow collection of the vehicle until the exact booked time, even though cars were available. They were generally not customer friendly. The car broke down after one hour with electronic problems stating that the car was broken on the dashboard. Upon calling Avis 6 times a repair truck came and took the car away after 7hours, following which I was not called back twice by Avis to arrange a replacement car. I called Avis the next morning and was told I had to go back to Avignon personally to collect a replacement car - meaning a 3hour round trip and essentially being without a car for 24hours. During this period I had to cancel a dinner appointment and a planned village tour visit. Overall I feel Avis has a terrible customer service. A replacement car should have been brought to me and swapped for the broken one simultaneously. No apology was given nor offer to reimburse the lost day. Zero stars. "

" Ordered an automatic and paid over £630 for it! The car supplied was an estate car one size bigger than I had ordered! The car lasted 2 days before the plastic/rubber piece under the wheel arch that protects the engine fell off and got caught up in the wheels so we had to pull it off! Avis sent out a Mechanic who told me to take car to office in Beziers to get a replacement! Did this on the Wednesday and were supplied with a manual Renault Clio, 2 sizes down from original supplied! Asked if they could change it for an automatic, they refused, so asked them to get one for 5 days later, also refused! "

" Booking procedure with Auto Europe fine. Very unhappy with the experience with Enterprise. "
" Queued 30 mins on arrival - no problem with this as Avignon is always busy, however then had to wait more than another 30 mins as no car was available/ready. Got away 3.20 although car booked for 2pm. Charged Eur 96 for second driver although my voucher quite plainly stated second driver charge was Eur 34.11. Absolutely no representative around on return, waited a while - in the end had to leave keys on desk and run for our train. I have now a further charge of £27.72 on my credit card - I have absolutely no idea what this is for. The car was returned within time and had been filled with fuel. My £250 deposit has yet to be returned. Very unhappy with the whole rental (car itself was fine). "

" One slight criticism: the car had not been washed and had also been passed off to me as having no scratches etc. After wiping away dirt and dust, I found four significant marks which meant that I had to go back to the office, queue for 20 minutes then go through the process of confirming the pre rental condition of the vehicle. Overall I was delayed by an hour because by then, the traffic had built up! "

" Having ordered a Fiat 500 or similar, we arrived at the Enterprise office to be told that they had no cars available and we could take their small Enterprise van. If we returned two days later, they said, cars would be available. That however, would have necessitated a two-hour round trip from our base. So we were stuck with the van for 8 days. We were in Provence with a party of 26 friends, but we were unable to offer lifts to any of the organised events for other people in the group as the van had only 2 seats. When we returned the vehicle they asked if we were satisfied. Clearly, we were not satisfied, and received a 15% OFF ticket for a future Enterprise rental. They also had the audacity to ask if we had left the tank full of diesel. "
" Excellent personal service at Avignon. Only complaint was that the car offered was larger and more complex than the one we ordered. However, by waiting an hour we were supplied with what we wanted. USA office found a car when direct enquiries of French suppliers produced nothing. "

" Pick up ok if a little disorganised and agent seemed unsure of what she was doing. Drop off agent was rude and threatening demanded that we return to car, a ten minute walk, to inspect it to be sure of milage and any damage, even though I assured her it was fine. Then didn't even check milage, said it didn't matter. Agent that was out by car originally, ignored me. I am sure that if they had been busy, they would have said just drop the key. Never had this problem with EuRopcar or Avis whom I have mainly used with you. "

" The staff were v polite but the queue was long and we had to wait again to be taken to the actual off site location of the car. The car had at least 3 bashes already which had not been noted on the paperwork. The car had no water in the washer at all and a warning light showing an airbag was not working and that there might be a problem with the tyre pressure. Another warning light came on which we could not identify. The proximity of the fuel station is brilliant and the return of the car was very easy. "
