" Autocar Europe should not work with such providers "
" We had pre-booked and prepaid for our car rental and also provided our arrival time. When we arrived at the thrifty car rental desk at Toronto airport, after a long flight, we were told that there were no cars available and that we would have to wait for about an hour. An hour later they presented us a compact SUV car and proceeded to say that this is the standard SUV category which we had booked when the website clearly showed that it was the smaller size. We were travelling with two kids each of them having their car seats and two large suitcases and 2 small carry-ons along with a pram which was impossible to fit in a compact SUV. For those reasons we had booked a standard SUV which was supposed to be a Toyota RAV4 or similar. When we rejected the compact SUV, we were told that we would have to wait for another hour before we could get the car. Even after the long wait, we were provided smaller cars so we continue to wait until a standard SUV category car appeared on there lots. After about 3.5 hours of wait we finally managed to get a car which was the category that we had booked. The waiting part was completely unacceptable especially after a long international flight and having booked the car weeks in advance. Our misery did not stop upon getting the right size car after 3.5 hours, as soon as we left we realized that the wheels on the car were unbalanced and the whole car vibrated while on highway speeds. We felt very unsafe to drive around in a car like that however we were on a holiday and could not waste any more time waiting for another car to appear which could take hours. Hence we proceeded to keep the car for the entire rental duration but we have been completely dissatisfied by the service and the attitude thrifty rental desk has exhibited. "

" In short the customer service was terrible and really unwanted after arriving from a long haul flight with the family. After a very long wait, the Avis rep attempted to impose a smaller class car than booked; without explanation I was asked to accept and sign for a compact class when we'd booked a full size / standard class. I had to insist that we wouldn't accept a compact due to our luggage and four adult size passengers. Avis appear to be understaffed, it took 50 minutes from arriving at their counter to finally receive keys for the car. There were just two others ahead of us in the queue, this has to be by far the longest I've had to wait for car rental, anywhere ! "

" I have used Auto Europe many times to book my car rental. The process of booking through Auto Europe was easy as usual. AVIS were disappointing due to their dishonesty over providing me with a much cheaper car than I had paid for and adding unauthorised charges to my invoice. "
" I booked and paid for a premium SUV but was supplied with an intermediate SUV. I returned to the desk to query this but the desk agent insisted that I had been provided with a premium SUV which was dishonest. The final receipt showed that I had paid for a premium SUV but been supplied with an intermediate SUV. The car group was not shown on the rental agreement documents. The car was small for our needs (5 adults, 5 bags). I would have saved over 1/3 had I booked an intermediate SUV. In addition I have been charged for additional 'optional services' which I did not authorise and are unspecified. I was expecting to pay a one way drop off fee at the desk - the charge to my credit card was higher than I expected - when I queried this with the desk agent I was told that it was a hold on my card as a security deposit which would be returned at the end of the rental - the charge as the end remains the same due to the unauthorised 'optional services' mentioned previously.

" There was only one staff member working when we picked up the car. there was a queue of about 5 people in front of us, this queue grew in length to about 12 as there was one customer with a problem, which was taking up all the counter staff's attention. We probably waited about 25 minutes to pick up the car. No upgrade was offered despite being in Avis Presidents club. I felt like the staff member just wanted me gone. "

" The queue to get the car took 2+hours. Once you had checked in you had to wait 1/2 hour to get a car. There were only 4 staff checking in and managing incoming vehicle keys. AVIS had 10+ times more customers than the other rental companies. It was the start of the Calgary Stampede. They needed a) more staff and b) better processes. We heard that people bringing cars back had a very long wait to find a place to leave the vehicle. "

It was later in the day when we were on our way to Whiistler that we realised they never changed the paperwork.We informed the Hertz employee at Calgary Airport when we were dropping the car off about the paperwork he just nodded and went on with his business off checking over the car,Overall I was dissatisfied with the way Hertz handled the situation and I would like to say this has no reflection on autoeurope "

What a delight that this booking was just about as good as it gets. My only frustration was the Avis IT system offering to pre register my details.

" For our honeymoon, we booked 10 days in Vancouver and 6 days in Calgary. In Vancouver, we booked a budget vehicle that turned out to be a Toyota Camry Hybrid. In Calgary, we wanted to treat ourselves to something a bit special, so we paid double the price of our 10 day budget option for what we expected to be a muscle car. Only to be offered what we had just had, but for double the price. Unacceptable. "
" Avis told me the car they were giving us was a Toyotay Camry Hybrid, when we booked a Dodge Charger 'or similar'. A Camry is in no way similar to a Charger. One is a hybrid, family friendly sedan, the other is a muscle car. It is delusional and false advertising to put these cars in the same bracket, especially when it was advertised on your page as Dodge Charger. The Avis manager eventually offered us a Ford Bronco, which was OK but really disappointing not to get the muscle car experience we hoped for. "

Collection at Avis in Downtown Vancouver was not a good experience. The store manager was not helpful, and pretty rude. She insisted vehemently that there was a deposit to pay of $750, despite my paperwork stating $450. In fact, the machine took $100. The car, when we collected it had a Service Maintenance Warning come on screen, we rejected this car, despite the manager informing us that this was wrong and it still had 5,000km left. This was an inappropriate response. We were not prepared to take this risk. In addition the car was filthy! The car we finally took was great, also not clean, but did the job well. "

" We have visited Canada a number of times to ski, hiring a car and travelling between ski areas. We have always looked for deals with Winter Tyres included rather than the minimum requirement in much of Canada of M&S level. Winter tyres are more than M&S. In all instances of hire to date the promised Winter Tyres booked have been supplied. In the UK, we purchased carhire for Canada with Auto Europe in July 2024 for a 35 day rental). Previous experience with Auto Europe has been good but sadly not this time. In July 2024 we opted for the product advertised by Auto Europe specifically as there was an offer banner claiming that Winter Tires were included. We checked that this was on the voucher when we booked. This level of tyres were important to us for safety reasons. . Our voucher clearly states 'Your rental includes: .........Winter Tire Fee for rentals commencing Dec.15th – Mar 15th.' {note different dates than the M&S minimum required for much of Canada until 30 April}. At Calgary airport we pointed out that we had paid for Winter Tyres as per our voucher and there was no denial of what the voucher said but instead it was said 'it's all Auto Europe fault' ....'we never provide Winter Tyres on a prepaid'. . . What has amazed us is that any complaint to either Auto Europe or Dollar for over half our trip got the response that we should complain once the rental was over. We didn't want to complain we wanted winter tyres on the car. We tried to reason with Auto Europe several times to no avail and we received many unhelpful messages from them.. We wasted an age trying to get action so we could get a car with Winter Tyres to allow us to do our planned trip. To us this seems absurd as we have a car for 35 days that is not of the safety level booked relevant to the local road conditions, yet no action was taken. We expected action. over half way through our trip Auto Europe suddenly sent a message saying it was their mistake. . We are still awaiting recompense that addresses the error sufficiently. This seems a case of unfair trading practices,. We are very surprised that there is no intention to address this during our 5 week rental leaving us with a vehicle that is not as contractually agreed. our rental has turned out with the failure to supply the very feature advertised that persuaded us to purchase the particular car rental product. "
" When we arrived at Calgary airport the Dollar service desk seemed to have missed out on the service element. There was an issue with winter tyres as below but there was no effort to sort this. It was Auto Europe error but we did not know this until more than half way through our rental. I would have expected Dollar to try and help sort out the problem. There was no getting further in discussion no matter how we tried and we then heard the service desk worker beside us tell another customer that they had no cars with Winter tyres available It does seem that the Calgary Airport Dollar office had very limited cars available. We were given a car that has chips in its windscreen and after only a few Miles showed an oil warning light – there was little oil so it seems it was not checked (and we suspect needed a service). We added oil but expected the cost to be reimbursed - it has not been even though requested. We did try to ring the Calgary airport office to report the oil light but to no avail so we bought the oil. We asked at Calgary airport what we should do if the chips in the windscreen turned to cracks and did not get the courtesy of a reply. As there was a long queue waiting we had no option but to proceed with the car we now have. It seems that the car given to us had not been prepared for a 35 day hire. "

" To my surprise, the price quoted for the original contract that I booked months before my trip turned out to be significantly more expensive than the price being quoted for the same terms just days before the hire. I ended up having to cancel the first booking and then rebook for a better price. "
" Desk at Vancouver was pretty straightforward. I had ordered a compact SUV. First car given wasn't particularly clean and upon checking the vehicle, the front windscreen washers were inoperative (the rear washers were fine). The guy dealing attempted to fill up the washer bottle, but it was clear to me that there was a blockage problem with the washer jets (which is not tenable). I told him I would not be taking the vehicle in this condition and he then offered to swap to another vehicle, which was newer and in much better condition. The vehicle return process at Vancouver Airport was simple and efficient, with friendly and helpful staff. "

" According to the Hertz website, a Hertz Gold Plus member is allowed to add a second driver free if they are your spouse regardless if you booked directly on Hertz.ca or via a third partly like AutoEurope. The manager at Hertz refused to allow us to add the second driver for free, and kept insisting that we cancel the reservation with AutoEurope and rebook with them which is not something we wanted to do. As AutoEurope, I highly recommend you speak to Hertz as effectively they are asking customers to cancel their reservations and rebook with them. "

I checked a number of other price comparison sites and booking sites and even tried Avis directly in Canada but Auto Europe were by far the best and offered the most comprehensive additional benefits (spouse to drive for free, for example).

" AE Europe very efficient as usual, just let down by Hertz at Calgary Airport "
" Pick up of the vehicle from Calgary Airport was very poor, long queues and only one or two counter staff. We deliberately booked with a Big International car hire company expecting a swifter efficient process, but instead we got something similiar to "Goldstar" in Mallorca Airport ( I did it once but never again). Having said that there appeared to be no quibble nabout minor scratches and scuffs upon pick-up and no forensic inspection on drop off at Vancouver. Prices seemed very high at a cost of £1,570 for 14 days for a so-called Mini Van. The costs included a one way charge for Calgary to Vancouver, but in fact the car originated from Vancouver and I was really just returning it ! The vehicle itself was perfect for our needs as with the 3rd row of seats folded it provided good seating for 4 and took a LOT of luggage. we could not have managed with an ordinary large car. No problems with the car itself, which had done 76,000 kms on pick-up, and we drove it a further 3,000Kms in 2 weeks. No GPS, but I had downloaded maps on to my phone and used a mapping and GPS system which didnt rely on an internet and therefore data connection. "

" Auto Europe has been fine, Avis are nothing more than scam artists "
" On pick up of the car, they didn't have the car we booked available. Then the car they offered us didn't have GPS as requested. As it was 10 at night and didn't have the effort to fight it out with professional scammers, we chose a different car at at cost of $18cad per day plus tax. Only to find later when I got to our accommodation for the night that what they charged us was not the agreed amount and is actually near $100 more! Looking over the invoice there was nothing to say what this extra charge was, so phoned the following morning and they agreed I had been overcharged as per case ref 67268625 and was told this would be rectified on handing back the car. Ever since then, I have emailed and chased multiple times but they won't respond to me. I have since received 2 further charges on my credit card from them, one I assume is for tolls as agreed, bit again they won't tell me what they are. If you can assist in any way to help recover what I can only take at this time is my stolen money, you assistance would be appreciated. "

When I called Avis at Halifax Airport there was no answer and the call cut off despite multiple attempts. I spoke to numerous Avis national help desk operators as at least they answered but they were not very helpful, suggesting I return the car but were not able to guarantee a replacement would be available. and kept saying they could not call the Halifax airport operator to find out.

" When we returned the car it was I inspected and told all OK (which it was). I then realised a further £200 had been debited from my card, but no breakdown of why. I have emailed but no reply. I did get a subsequent email from the Hertz Toronto Airport office saying there was damage to the passenger door and could I fill in an accident report. There was no damage anywhere on the car when we returned it and I explained this and consequently said I couldn't complete the report as there had been no accident and they cleared the car upon it's return. Again no reply. Very dubious of Hertz business practices. "

No sat nav meant scrambling to get mobile add on for £25 to use android auto instead ,by extending my UK package abroad for roaming, which was panic ridden as I was in Vancouver & was not going to bother with mobile. Tired after 9 hr flight anyway. Certainly too tired to go back in & complain. No problems with return. Easy. Wish I had gone back in. Wish I had hired an SUV at least. "

" I did get a car which was fine but it wasn't the car I ordered, which I understand and happens from time to time. I was given a car that was in good condition but I paid considerably more money to have a 'nicer' car which I wasn't given so I won't be back unless this is rectified. "
" When I placed my order online, I ordered a dodge charger but when I arrived to collect the car I was given a Chevrolet Malibu which was considerably lower grade when I was looking to rent the car. I understand that sometimes the cars are not always available but usually this would mean an upgrade but to be down graded and not offered any reimbursement is very poor service. This was a considerable drop in the grade of the car I originally paid for. I feel as though I have been taken advantage of and for this reason I will not be using Avis again which is a shame as I currently have a further 3 trips to Vancouver in the coming 2 years. "

" We used Google maps via my mobile phone using android auto. This saved us a hefty additional fee. So I would definitely get confirmation that this is available on any car being booked. It comes up directly on the vehicles media screen and can be controlled from there too. Auto Europe were easy to deal with, but to save any worries if booking an early deal, check your details thoroughly before submission, as any changes later can be done, but only after re-pricing your booking at that days price. I'd made a one and half hour mistake in our arrival time, and if I hadn't of paid fully in advance (Hertz will hold the car until midnight if you do), it would have doubled my rental price. "
" Price was excellent, having booked 10 months in advance. We had to wait a fair amount of time at collection in Vancouver (approx 30 minutes.

" As stated above in Section 3, we were perhaps naive in accepting that the additional damage waiver costs were required, as the Avis rep assured us. We have ended up paying almost double the cost for the car hire, despite the cover already being in place. We would appreciate your assistance in securing a refund of the excess costs we paid. "
" We were initially very satisfied with our rental booking and thought that it was a good price with loss damage waiver cover included. However, on collecting the vehicle we were advised that we should take additional damage waiver cover, to avoid a potential very high excess should anything happen to the car. We did this, as advised by the Avis representative, but the final costs were much higher than we expected and this left a sour taste on the whole rental experience. The Auto Europe voucher confirms that we already had Loss Damage Waiver to an excess of CAD 300, which is approx half the cost we ended up paying to Avis. The documentation provided by the Avis representative did show the final cost we were charged, but it was in very small print, hidden underneath a separate sheet of paper for the vehicle inspection slip.

" We like Avis cars and service and use rental cars a lot owing to extensive travel. BUT, this is the second time we have rented a car from Avis at Calgary Airport when there has been absolute CHAOS. The queues were unreal and a couple hours long, we have never experienced such poor demand management anywhere in the world at car rental companies. They need to sort their service provision out to meet supply. The poor staff did their best and Patrick helped me get a car as quickly as possible as my mom was terminally ill, and did eventually pass, and I had a 3 hour journey to get to her from Calgary. If he hadn't have been so compassionate, I would not have got to my mom so quickly. It does mean that we are hesitant to use Avis with their unacceptably long delays, which are not ideal after long-haul flights. It wasn't even Stampede time when we rented the cars and experienced these shocking delays. "

" Great price from Auto Europe but I believe that the customer is pressured into taking on the extra cover using scare tactics, for example 'for when you breakdown' when this should be included in the initial quote "
" Booked through Auto Europe - paid upfront, for what I thought was a good price. I knew to expect a one way fee of $400. I also chose extra cover for breakdown as we were travelling in low populated area and payment for a full tank of petrol. What I didn't expect was the cost to more than double what I had already paid upfront. On contacting Avis I was eventually (after around a dozen emails) given a breakdown of the 'extras' which included an airport fee of $120. My Auto Europe Voucher states that this is already included in the rental. What I fail to understand is why the rental company would not look after their cars by including breakdown recovery. Why would this not be included? On a plus note, the car drop off was made very easy by the signage provided by Avis on where to specifically leave the car in the parking garage at 757 Hornby St, Vancouver "

The man at the deal printed off many sheets of paper asked me to sign for the vehicle which I did because I was tired and already exhausted with arguing over additional driver only to find out on returning the vehicle they charged me £505.65 Canadian dollars. On questioning this they reduced this to 393.30 Canadian dollars. Despite showing them my agreement they said I had signed the agreement provided on pick up.

" On arrival at the desk, there was a queue of about 15 customers. The staff were overwhelmed. It took nearly an hour to get to the front of the queue. I booked a 'full size' car. I'm not familiar with the models there and when I got to the collection area, I realised I'd been allocated a very small SUV with a tiny boot. This was not what I booked or paid for. The Avis garage supervisor was very helpful and sympathetic and took me back to the desk (where staff were still overwhelmed). I was asked to return the paperwork and key and they would try to find me a model close to what I booked. I was told to wait (along with several other customers who were equally frustrated at the service). About 30 mins later, they came up with a Toyota RAV4 which I took. Altogether one of the poorest ever rental collection experiences I've had. "

" See above but once again special thanks to Fabio "
" It was a prepaid booking . The member of staff I saw wore a mask throughout and so hearing everything he said was difficult. The car was very noisy and was a bit concerned as it sounded like wheel bearings. It was the noisiest car I have ever rented but it did last the journey so thankful for that. However when I returned the car and checked in which went smoothly au went to Departures . After a few minutes my phone pinged to say my e receipt for $292 was attached. As this was a prepaid rental I went back to the Avis desk who said it was probably to do with taxes etc but everything would be ok. But he then said if there was a problem don't ring them .I assume that was meant to be a joke. However when I returned home I had been charged the $292 . I contacted AutoEurope who said they would take up the case with Avis He said it might take a few weeks but I am pleased to say that I have received a full refund thanks to Fabio and the Auto Europe team. So many thanks to them and feel very confident to use them again "

" I found booking through Auto Europe quite straightforward and being able to save a bit of money was very nice to have happen. I loved the car I chose and glad it was available to drive when I picked it up. I was aware a subsitute might have happened, but didn't. The Charger met my expectations as I have had the 300C before which I liked as much as well. "
" I was less than impressed to be honest compared to past dealings with Avis out of other locations. I have dealt with Enterprise before and found them much better to deal with. The representative out of the London Airport didn't explain the carbon tax on the bill I would have received. He also didn't go over the car with me to precheck for any previous damages that I may have been on the hook for. I did take some pictures to cover me from any surprises. He did explain some stuff on the security deposit which I know is standard. I didn't know as well especially when I said I was going to the Drive-in that night, that there is a special way of making sure you could use the radio with the car off. A person from the drive-in was able to help me out on that eventually. I was rightly ticked off I missed part of the movie when the radio would shut off. The Avis person should have gone over things with me at the car. I was the only person at the time he had to deal with so no excuse. When I came back to drop off the car, he didn't appear to worry about the damages I mentioned as per the pictures I took of the car. I was a bit surprised about this. "

" Have used Auto Europe before with other rental companies, have never had such a horrible experience so will definitely avoid Avis. "
" The brakes on the vehicle were extremely noisy (we have video with sound). At first this caused great concern however no warning lights came on and they functioned fine, albeit with a horrible noise. The noise never changed during the nine days of the rental. Halfway through the rental the service warning light came and stayed on and briefly a tyre pressure warning light. The car could have been cleaner and the luggage compartment cover was missing. We were also charged the Winter Tyre Management fee ($35.62) despite our rental agreement stating it's between December and March. Altogether a very disappointing experience. "

" Auto Europe are not responsible for Avis at Montreal's shortcomings. Communication about the rental was excellent. "
" Arriving at the Avis desk, despite all their online check in for speedy retrival, there were insufficient staff with a long line (over an hour waiting) - a feature not shared by the other hire companies at the airport. Staff were exhausted, did not wish to explain paperwork. The car was well used (53000+ km on the clock); and despite it being late August, they had left snow tyres on it. It is never a good idea to use snow tyres outside the winter months. Two tyres needed regular top-ups with air. Drop off was fine: quick and efficient. "

" It was my first booking with Auto Europe and definitely won't be the last. I used RentalCars all the time, as I didn't trust any other website. But now, AutoEruope will defintely an option to explore. Prices were much better and the additional benefits such as additional drives and some waivers were a plus! "
" Everything was perfect! The car was clean, good size, and looked like new. It was a very easy process for collection, although had to wait in a queue for some reasonable time. The staff was very friendly. A comment to make is that they kept mentioning the risk of someone breaking into the car or potential breakdowns in the area we were planning to go, but I think they just wanted to sell the additional insurance. We didn't buy any additional insurance and it was all fine, in fact, the areas in Canada were very safe. "

" Dealing with AutoEurope to book the car and finding competitive rates was a straightforward and easy process. I suppose they can't be held responsible for the condition of the rental car which is the responsibility of AVIS. "
" Everything was great except the condition of the car. I've got a free upgrade to a BMW series 5 vehicle but it turned out that it was not serviced prior to the rental. A couple of days into my rental period when I was far away from any cities and in the wilderness I've got mulktiple messages on the dashboard including: service is overdue; change engine oil; vehicle car battery is empty. At some point the car was overheating and there were no garages around that I could buy engine oil. Also the key would stop operating and when inside the car driving I would get a message that the key is not found. There was nowhere I could by replacement batteries for the keys. Contacting AVIS by phone proved to be a useless experience. "

" I would like to be reimbursed for the stress and time wasted as well as money used because of Dollar's terrible services. "
" I hired a vehicle from Toronto Airport on the 23rd of August for 11 days till 3rd of September, rental record: 924939956 for a Toyota thunder registration pr69957. On the third of September while returning to Canada from Detroit, our tyre became flat on the motorway 401 eastbound side, at 10:00 (AM). We tried to use all the numbers provided to call for roadside service that was originally paid for, but no one picked up. The numbers I tried calling were: 1-877-466-0992 1-800-654-5060 1-800-847-4389 1-877-608-5784 Then a friend from Toronto called in my place and they did pick up on one of the numbers, and informed them of our situation, and they provided a reference number and a number to call, in order for them to obtain our location. The reference number was 0230331661, and the number we were given to call was 8006545060. I tried calling this number but received no response after attempting to call for an hour. Then the police came, and they also attempted to call the number provided, for more than half an hour, but also failed to get a response. They told us that because we are not safe on the motorway, the police called a tow company to take the car to the nearest tyre repair place. After 40 minutes, the tow company came and said the tyre needed replacing as the rods were damaged. As we had 4 of us in the vehicle, the tow company said they will not take any passengers, so they called a taxi to take us with the tow truck to the Tyre place, which was Costco in windsor, walker road. The tow company then charged us 415.84 Canadian dollars, and the taxi charged us 150 Canadian dollars, and Costco charged us 12.42 Canadian dollars to swap the wheel with the spare. We lost 4 hours in total and I would like my expenses to be reimbursed, which totals out at 578.26 Canadian dollars, which I paid that should have been covered by the roadside policy that was originally paid for.

" On collection - car was grubby inside. Also existing damage had not been noted. Car was smaller than the one ordered. The desk operative at the collection point was not helpful. Car soon ran out of screenwash. Service reminder came up half way through the rental. Had an issue with not being able to lock the boot on the evening of the 1st days' rental. Made several phone calls to Avis after thoroughly reading the car handbook - one advisor suggested that there was a lever by the drivers seat to activate the lock/unlock; not the case. Another advisor suggested that the key fob battery was flat - not the case. Eventually had to take the car to Kelowna airport branch - a detour of approx. an additional 2hours/180km from our planned route. The gentleman we saw there very quickly identified the problem - a proximity sensor on the key fob opens the boot once near to the car. No-one had advised us of this. "

" Voucher arrived by e-mail in good time, everything from Auto Europe perspective worked as expected. Avis service sadly was less consistent. "
" Avis Desk staff in Vancouver seemed beyond 'laid back' and service was very slow. Eventually I was seen and got a voucher for the car, bigger, but less up-spec than expected. I was then told I would get the car in 'about 30 minutes'. After 90 minutes in a hot, service-free basement, I found the car myself in a parking place in the parking. It had just arrived, but the representative hadn't made contact with us and had to be tracked down to acquire the keys! The drop-off however was quick, easy and helpful. On arrival in the UK I received an unexpected invoice for 81cents! Any idea how to pay it without attracting a £2.50 bank charge?! "

I chose Auto Europe based on their positive reviews (other companies fare less well when you dig deeper). We are season car renters when abroad so know the possible pitfalls. Auto Europe instructions etc were all very clear. I can't comment on customer service as I did not need to contact them, the rental went smoothly. "

" Would never use Avis Canada again. We were charged an additional £700 after returning home which I have still to receive a full explanation for. I actually thought I had been charged twice for the rental before realizing it was for extras. Charged for GPS even though we didn't want it and ended up using our phone as the car GPS was hopeless. Charged for an additional hour when we picked the car up 20 minutes early (this wasn't pointed out at the time either - would have happily waited 20 minutes to avoid an $80 charge). Had to put air in the tyres after 2 days as they looked flat. On returning the car to the address on the voucher we were then told to take it to a car park around the corner which likely means we have been charged for a late return...but who knows !!! "

" After spending over 2 hours getting through the amazingly awful Pearson airport, there was no signage to the Avis garage and even airport aids could not help. Had to get directions from other car rentals. Our car had to be delivered from another terminal and was not right when it arrived so was offered another model. Nice car but so tired by this time that forgot to check it had Navigation which it did not. Had a very heavy shower of rain a couple of days later only to find the drivers windscreen wiper was badly split making visibility terrible and dangerous. Forecast good so didn't get this sorted immediately. Constant warnings displayed saying service long overdue and oil change required. Took the car to the Avis office in central Mississauga and was asked to take the car to a garage round the corner to have the wiper blade replaced and the oil changed. On returning to the garage the oil change had been completed but the wiper blade could not be sourced. Returned to the Avis office and the very helpful young lady offered us another car but I had to return to the garage to fill up with gas before the exchange could take place. The replacement car was fine. The drop of at Pearson took more than half and hour with only one car in front of me as Avis systems were out of action and nobody seemed to know what to do. I have since received a review request from Avis but this continuously buffers and does not allow you to complete it. "

" Once again avis overlooked providing us with a car with GPS. I had to return to the desk to make them aware. Last year the person on the desk in Toronto was more receptive than the person in Montreal this year. I was upgraded foc last year as I preferred to have integrated GPS in the car rather than the portable units. This year I was handed the portable unit and told that the intermediate range of cars don't have it integrated into the car. If I wanted an integrated unit I would have to pay for an upgrade to the next size if car. What annoyed me most was the attitude of the individual as he was offering foc upgrades to people in the que in front of me as if they were going out of fashion.

" Auto Europe was easy to book through and gave a range of options. It's a shame that Avis didn't mange to continue this "
" 1, Midsized car wasn't available despite booking months ago. Given the option of a small car, which wouldn't fit our luggage in, or a truck which cost much more in fuel. Had to go for the truck, as the other option was not viable, which we estimated cost an extra £125 in fuel costs. 2, Ordered a booster seat, which I was quoted 100cad for when I booked initially on Auto Europe and again when I pre-checked in on Avis website. On arrival they attempted to charge 216cad. When I mentioned this, the manager insisted that I would not have been quoted 100cad. I have rechecked on Avis website and it is 100cad. It's frustrating that they would attempt to gain extra money in this way. It is also very frustrating that I had to ask the manager to stop shouting when he was telling me that I was incorrect about the price, 3, I decided to use the 'return with empty fuel' option. On the rental agreement sheet I was quoted 107.10cad for fuel, On returning the vehicle I have been charged 167.10cad instead. As the office was so busy, I was unable to sort this out before we had to catch our flight. Fortunately, following the booster seat problem, I had suspicions that this might happen and have kept all the receipts, so I can get my credit card company to get the money back if Avis don't sort it out.

On return I find I have been charged an additional £612... taken from my credit card!! Is this an upgrade which I did NOT request?? So my £560 rental has become a £1162 rental!!

" Online booking process with Auto Europe was fine although clarification about the 'additional driver' offer would be useful. "
" When arriving to collect the vehicle at the prompt booking time of 09.00am, I was told it wasn't ready so was asked to go away and return in 15 minutes. This impacted on our overall schedule for that mornings tasks and later journey. When I finally collected the car it was a quick transaction although I was told it would cost $12 per day for the additional named driver, which I believed was included in the price I had paid to Auto Europe. The car had obviously had a recent external wash, although the interior wasn't thoroughly cleaned especially the back seat which was littered with crumbs. The previous rental agreement paperwork was also still in the glove compartment. When I arrived to return the car at 09.00am the office counter was closed up with a sign saying it would re-open at 09.35am. Again, this impacted on my morning schedule and when I finally returned the keys was told I could have used the key drop although there was no information or instruction on doing this when I collected the car. Not a great service from Avis. I guess the cheapest price comes with its risks. "

" See above. As far as I was aware I had booked via Auto Europe but it turns out the car was an Avis one. By association I therefore do not feel inclined to use Auto Europe again. Unless you can prove to me that you can get Avis to resolve our complaint? "
" We booked the hire car for 3 weeks. During our travels an engine warning light was displayed so we contacted Avis spending many hours on the phone trying to arrange an alternative. It took 3 days for them to exchange the vehicle during which time we could not use the car as intended. We were told to drop off the car 'empty' by way of an apology. Having done so we received an invoice for $236.19. We spent many hours on the phone trying to identify what this invoice was only to be found that it was an error. We have also spent many hours on the phone trying to find out how Avis plan to compensate us for all the messing around both during our holiday and the hours spent on the phone since our return and have asked to escalate to a manager on several occasions. Not once has a manager contacted us and we have only been compensated the 3 days that we could not use the car (after a battle) and £80! It is an insult and I will not intend to use either Avis or Auto Europe (by their association) again. Note - I have left it 7 weeks since receiving this survey before completing it to give Avis a fair chance of resolving the issue. It is evident that they do not plan to take any further action so I now feel it necessary to let people know about our experience. "

" The experience with Auto europe was absolutely fine, but like I have said above, I feel let down or even deliberately deceived by Avis. "
" When picking up the car, the Avis counter rep. asked if I wanted sat nav. I said depends on how expensive it is, he said I could have the unit, or upgrade to a car with integrated sat nav, whichever was cheapest. He then told me the upgrades $29. Which of course I agreed to, as it seemed a very good deal. He didn't specify that was a daily charge, nor did I sign or even see a revised contract for the upgrade. So you can imagine how annoyed I was when presented with a bill for over $400 after I'd returned the car. I had a lengthy phone call with Avis in which they agreed to halve the bill. However that is still $200 that I had not calculated for and I feel I was deliberately deceived by the Avis rep. I will not use them again. "

" Hi, car reserved was a full size, they supplied a medium SUV. There was not really enough room for all of the cases once there was 4 of us after my son joined us later in the journey. I did not think there would be a problem as Air Canada had left our luggage in UK and so we did not have to pack them in the car when we left the airport. Small point but worth mentioning, not sure if it would have made any difference to cost. Mike "

" Having waited for an hour on 2nd September (at the beginning of the Labor Day weekend) we got a very poor service at the desk. The Auto Europe voucher was shown and, of course they asked for a credit card to cover possible excess charges. At the time we did not realise that the Auto Europe voucher had not been logged on the transaction and as as result we (subsequently) found that Avis charged my credit card second time for the rental. The rate charged was approx. 50% above what had been already paid to Auto Europe. Following the return of the vehicle Avis refused to refund this double charge insisting that we needed to seek a refund via Auto Europe "

" we were not told in advance of the closure until further notice of Avis's office at terminal 3, and even that "office" meant leaving the airport terminal and making our way to the car parking facility "
" we arrived at Toronto late in the evening and struggled across to the Avis office at terminal 3 to be greeted by a locked office and a sandwich board type sign, stating that the office was closed until further notice and to go to terminal 1, this resulted with struggling back to terminal 3 then struggling to find how to get to terminal 1 which involved a shuttle train, we waited a good 30 minutes to be seen at the desk, and the desk guy just said, "go through that door and the car will be brought round, a guy subsequently drove the car around which was not the car ordered but a much smaller VW Golf, handed over the keys and made his way away from us as quickly as he could, no vehicle hand over or walk round inspection of the vehicle, or explanation of any features such as seat adjustment how to start the car (brake pedal had to be depressed in order to start the car, no explanation of the auto cut out cut in of the throttle at idle, no help whatsoever also car was covered in minor dents and scratches, we had been through a nightmare flight stuck on the runway at Gatwick for 4 hours and with problem after problem, so having to go back to the desk to get the guy to check the car condition was the last thing my wife wanted to do, as she was stressed already so I spent the rest of the holiday worrying that there would be some attempt to blame us for the pre-existing damage, this didnt transpire, but a simple (NORMAL CAR HIRE) hand over rather than dump and run would have negated the stress, also the smaller car had a tiny boot which wouldnt evel take our suitcases luckily we were travelling with only two occupants, so rammed the suitcases into the far from capacious rear seat area, in short I would never use Avis again as everything except the drop off fell well short of a NORMAL CAR HIRE experiance "

" I booked a pick up at 12 midday from Vancouver airport allowing me enough time to catch the 3pm ferry to Vancouver Island. I completed all the relevant paperwork via the ap to enable a swift pickup, however, upon going to pickup the car at 12:15hrs I was met with a long queue and 3 members of counter staff. After waiting until 13:50hrs and the queue still very long I was getting stressed about missing my ferry and managed to speak to a member of staff, I was pushed to the preferred queue and eventually picked up the car at 13:58hrd, an hour and 45 minutes of waiting. The attendant then told me that my car was not ready and would be at least another 30 minutes and offered me an upgrade for $46 a day, totally unacceptable. I eventually got my car but when I did a damage check and discovered a lot of scratches I wished to point these out to a member of staff, he refused to look at the car and said it was cosmetic damage and not to worry about it. Upon delivering the car back at the end of the rental I managed to speak to the manager and addressed my issues. This wasn't a problem with yourselves, but with Avis themselves. "

We had no other choice than to accept a booking with Thrifty for a Toyota Camry. AEUK claimed that the category was the same but a Dodge Charger at Thrifty is in a superior category so I consider being downgraded for the same cost.

I was told to discuss this with the customer service of AutoEurope and not the reservation people, I'm still looking for their contact... "

" I had the misfortune to arrive when the Avis manager was not present. However, it is clear that AutoEurope do nothing at all to help customers in such a predicament and instead to and profiteer at the customer's expense. I literally could not have a dimmer view of your company "
" Upon arrival at Toronot we were told by the Avis check in rep that we couldn't hire the car as my licence card had expired. I hadn't been aware of this not having been reminded by the DVLA and not having been asked at any point during the hire process for the date (this should surely be part of the process to avoid issues). My wife had her licence but we were told we couldn't use it as it was a different name to that on the hire agreement. We were told by Avis that only AutoEurope could resolve this but they were closed at the time. After an emergency hotel booking, costing £200+, I rang AutoEurope the next day only to learn that the company was trying to profit from this misfortune saying that I would be breaking contract to change the name. Obviously AutoEurope could have changed the name to my wife but you have set up terms and conditions to prevent this for no obvious reason. I was told it would cost me £500 plus to change, setting up a new agreement. Thankfully, I went back to the airport and encountered a manager at Avis, absent the night before, who permitted the change to my wife's name straight away. All in all a dreadful experience and, unless I am compensated by AutoEurope, it is my intention, when I have the time, to use every available platform to warn customers away from using your company "

I had waited 1/2 hour to get to front of line. Drop off was self serve, I got my final invoice that had an additional charge on it. - not sure if it was mileage.

" Two days before picking up our vehicle we received reminders to go to Vancouver South terminal for collection and also to do the fast track system for pick up. We were happy with this as had a ferry to catch and thought it would save us time. Then the day before again we received a reminder email about picking car up at 10am from the South terminal. Next day we got a taxi to South terminal and we're surprised to find you had closed that branch. Luckily our taxi driver was still unloading car and offered to take us to the main terminal and the Avis desk. Now from here it just gets worse and worse. After arriving ahead of the 10am we had to then get upto the other terminal. When we arrived there was a long queue and only one person serving. It was OK we thought as we had done the fast track and when a manager appeared we approached him in good humour however we were met with disgraceful customer service and arrogance. Fast track not available and it was up to us to sort the problem. I was told to ask every member of the queue about moving forward. Not once did the manager offer a solution even when it was your companies mistake. Then to add to this terrible service my wife was talked to in a disgraceful unreasonable and unrespectful way. To the extent we are considering legal action for this harassment from the manager. I am glad to discuss this further and if nothing happens I will be going further with legal action against your company "

" Ordered an intermediate car - Hyundai Elantra or similar (Camry, Fusion etc) and was given a Hyundai Venue, classed as a sub compact SUV. Car had barely enough room for me to squeeze between steering wheel and door jam, he'd virtually no rear legroom and could fit only one suitcase in the boot. Barely usable when we got to our destination as we could not carry passengers. I think I should get a partial refund. "

" We have just returned from our holiday in Canada to find that Avis have levied additional charges to our hire cost (contracted through yourselves) of Can$ 262.95. Their additional charges are headed "Non Pkg charges" - no further description. If that cost relates to fuel, then the sum is ridiculous! The car hire agreement stipulates that the car should be returned with a full tank. We filled up at Banff & were unable to fill up again near the airport because of serious roadworks and delays around Calgary. The journey from Banff to Calgary is around 145 km. The fuel expended on that journey can be the absolute maximum Can$ 35. Please contact Avis to remove or at least greatly reduce those absurd charges. Neil Richardson "

" The staff at the airport were not friendly and did not show any interest in offering a speedy and helpful service. Very slow in processing peoples needs. When we finally got processed and we went out to the location where the car should've been no car was there. I spoke to one helpful worker in the car park who assisted in getting a car located. We realised GPS was missing and when the helpful employee went in to check he was told we left it on counter. I can categorically confirm the employee at the desk never provided this at the time, so the server had been untruthful. We did not want to deal with the airport staff again so we rearranged job off to point in Brampton. This was very smooth and the employee here was extremely helpful. "

" Disasterous experience from the moment we arrived in Canada! We chose Avis because we were assured it was I the terminal building. My husband had a knee op only a few weeks before we travelled so the Avis desk being in the arrival terminal was important to us. Much to our despair it was in terminal 1 we arrived in terminal 3! To get between terminals to had to use lifts escalators and trains. This put tremendous strain on our otherwise smooth arrival into Toronto. We had the first car for 5days and there were problems with the alarm and the boot did not close. We had to phone a local budget rental office who were helpful in giving us a second car but this was most definitely not the car we would have chosen. It was old, had high mileage and was dirty. After only two days and little use of the second car we dashboard told us a tyre had lost pressure. After putting air in the tyre it lost pressure over night. The following day we were due to fly home so phoned Avis again. They told us we could basically abandon the car and upon asking how we would get to the airport we were told "make your own way". Plus they said they'd charge us for picking up the 2nd car! What part of customer service do they not understand? We managed to contact the budget office who had given us the 2nd vehicle who said if we could get the car to them they would supply us with a 3rd car! We were 1.5 hrs away from the rental office with a car with a slow puncture and the spare tyre underneath the car totally inaccessible for us! We had to get family to follow us at great expense down the interstate to ensure we got back to the budget office. Again at our own expense. We have incurred time and great expense trying to get these problems sorted. I would like to speak to management regarding this please asap so please phone us. "

" A little more effort would have made the whole experience a lot better. Car was clean inside but outside had just been pressure washed with water leaving dead flies and bugs on the paintwork making checking for damage difficult. Boot shuts were lagged in dust and this is one of your first impressions as most people will have luggage. No screenwash, just water. Front brake discs were warped giving an unpleasant experience especially when braking downhill. I did inform the chap I returned the vehicle to but did not get the impression that anything was likely to be done about it. The cleanliness is not a massive issue as we hired a car to get us from A to B and that's what it did but you want feedback, you appear to want good feedback but you'll need to make a little more effort.

Car itself after that was excellent ( Ford Escape titanium) and very economical "
" Digital check in in advance appeared not to speed up the process. Paperwork was not good - seemed not to have fully grasped the auto Europe booking details - initial car offered had no sat nav - some confusion over level of pre authorised insurance - still unsure about additional driver as part of deal since did not require driving licence or other details ( ie additional driver details not required!!!) . No instructions offered regarding operation of the car. Within a few kilometres warning light advised of "tire low" - returned car, they checked and reinflated and sent us off - two days later tire low - slow puncture requiring a repair at my cost and although the overall cost of hire was reduced on presentation of the invoice, not sure how that will materialise in my account. Car itself was really good ( after initial problems with tire) - less happy with Avis processes and customer care. Also when booking through Auto Europe why the booking itself had not been honoured without my requesting all aspects of the booking. "

" Terrible service. 2 rentals in 1 week and both were bad experiences. The first was Toronto Airport, I paid for sat nav but did not get one. The guy at the desk was more interested in watching the cup final than serving me, this lead to a long delay in getting away. The second rental from Calgary was worse. 1 hour wait to even get to the desk to find there was no car available. I was asked to wait for one to come in. I had a dinner booking which should have been easily reached but I was late because of Avis leading to a charge. The vehicle I had booked was not given to me, I ended up getting a rubbish 4x4 which I didn't want, this was presented to me by an extremely rude service guy. I asked why I wasn't getting the car I requested when it was parked behind the 4x4....he rudely replied, this is your car. I will never use Avis again and will never recommend them. I would like to gey atleast a refund for the missing sat navigation. I have tried to contact Avis but they won't talk to me. This was a terrible time consuming experience that smiled the start to a holiday of a lifetime...thank you Avis "

During the rental the car got a puncture, I tried getting this repaired myself but was unable to. I got in touch with Avis and they where very unhelpful. After over 2 hours of telephone conversations I managed to get sorted by organising to exchange the car at a local Avis depot (North Vancouver).

" Refer to previuos statement "
" I agreed to pay total charges of £760.32 when I collected the car which was duly dropped off on time , cleaned and full of fuel (more actually than I was left with.) I have since found out that Avis have debited my card by approximately 800 Canadian Dollars for some mysterious 'extra charges' when they told me it would be 400 Dollars which would then be returned into my account in the next few days. When we collected the car (Jet lagged after a 9 hour journey) we were dealt with by an Asian/Canadian lady with a difficult accent to understand, wearing a mask and talking behind a screen, who spoke very quickly and told us to sign and initial the form in 9 DIFFERENT PLACES !! She DID NOT tell us at any stage that we were agreeing to extra charges which would then amount to £250 !!!! or I would have politely told her NO THANKS. (My wife can verify this as she had to be summoned by me to help me try and decipher what she was saying.) I have since discovered that one of those 9 places we initialled (WHICH WAS ALREADY PRINTED OUT AS 'ACCEPTED' and consequently so very very easy to unwittingly agree to) refers to extra insurance cover that we did not request or require. Please restore my faith in Avis quickly by returning ALL the money taken from my card (not just the 400 CD) as this appears to me to be a well organised, probably not totally illigel, but nevertheless dispicable way of getting more money out of tired vulnerable customers by the Avis counter staff at Calgary airport "

" When I understood the AutoEurope terms and setup and got my head around the complex wording it made sense, but I would say it isn't 'that' clear.

When you understand it, it makes total sense, but took me a while to comprehend (and I'm a stickler for T&C's). All in all, happy, will likely use again.... But maybe not AVIS. "

" Auto europe have always been a great way to find a good price for a vehicle for trips abroad. Simple website, good range of alternatives and positive customer service if any issues arise or questions need answering. Always my first stop when planning travel. "
" Booked through auto europe which I have done many times as it always seems to find the right deal wherever I go. This time, I selected an offer in Montreal, for an Avis car hire - my first time with this company. I got a number of emails from Avis in advance of pick up which was great and I was encouraged to complete pre-arrival details or Digital Check-in, on the promise of a Quick Pass, seamless collection without delay. I dutifully completed all the on-line requirements and looked forward to a speedy collection and departure following a trans atlantic flight. Some hope! I found my way to the Avis office - not a Quick Pass sign to be found, only a long line of customers. Undeterred, I went to the Priority line, which seemed the likely option, after all I had completed all my digital check in and pre-paid. I was met by what can only be described as a sour and surely gent. I explained why I was at the priority desk and with barely more than a grunt, I got 'NO - You queue there' and a finger jabbed at the end of the queue ( which had now grown longer as I waited for 'priority service'. As a result of 2 staff working laboriously to serve a queue of maybe 10 customers, I waited 45 minutes to be processed and have a car allocated. 45 minutes in a dimly lit, grey, subterranean soulless office - so much for Quick Pass, Avis! You definitely obtained by digital information by false pretences - Quick it was not! Also not happy having pre-paid fr everything required, to be met with an additional charge ' to pay for winter tyres' which are required - in winter! The car was fine - pretty new and did the job I needed. The return process was slick, simple and efficient. "

" Where AutoEurope didnot cover Windscreen or Tyre repairs, think this could be added by choice on booking. My major issue, although Avis gave me a free upgrade for the car. It took them approx 90mins to connect my phone to the car in order to access a GPS app. The car was requested upon booking to have GPS. The car given had a Satellite Radio and uses a app 'carplay as my phone being a iPhone. Not wanting to use roaming with charges. The GPS route had to be set using WiFi, so if no WiFi could be found - No Map.... I asked for a different car and told none was available. I asked for a Dashtop GPS (Garmin/TomTom) as conventional. They could supply such a gps/satnav but with a charge of $16/day despite showing them my request of a car with GPS.. I have made comments within various media platforms advising others to use their own GPS where it appears becoming popular for cars not to have standard gps but via Android/iPhone using your phone apps. As said above it took 3 people approx 90mins to sort the issue of connection. Thanks "

The Avis staff I spoke with were dour and unhelpful and even when I insisted my second driver should be at no extra cost, the response was that I had to pay up "because the supervisor said so". Not good enough in my opinion. "
" Firstly, my choice of car was a Dodge Charger (sport coupe or similar) but was given a Mitsubishi Outlander (SUV), not a 'similar' car by any means! and when I questioned this I was given a 'take it or leave it' ultimatum.

" When we purchased the car hire we upgraded to full cover and paid the extra premium. On collection from Avis we were advised that the additional cover was not valid with Avis and should anything happen that is not covered by the additional cover (windows, towing, breakdown etc) then we would have to pay Avis. We showed the Avis representative (on request by them) our confirmation of additional cover and were still advised that the cover is not with Avis and therefore not valid in the event of a claim. We had a 4 hour drive in tricky conditions and felt very worried that in the event of something going wrong we would not be covered. With this in mine we would like an explanation from AutoEurope on the additional cover and why it was nat valid with Avis ! "

This can be misleading and confusing about whether you are paying the origional price or something else. "
" There were alot of hidden costs in my opinion, it ended up being more than quoted as I added extras which turned out to be quite expensive. At the desk there was alot of paper work to agree to which I didn't get chance to properly read what with being in a rush, just getting into the airport etc. I ended up just having to agree to everything without clearly understanding it. The process took a while due to communication delays between desk and car storage staff, I had already let them know I wanted a car with GPS yet nothing suitable was ready at the time we arrived, though we had told the company in advance our arrival time. I was asked about various car models, whether I was happy with those and having no knowledge of cars jsut had to agree despite having no clue what these cars were. Thankfully we ended up with a good model, only slighter larger than I expected and the GPS was perfect. Although I beleive we did have to pay extra for the larger car, which I do not agree with as you should have made sure what I wanted was available at the price already agreed rather than end up having to upgrade at my own expense. The returning of the car was very fast, I was not sure of the procedure, this being my first time hiring a car and I felt I should have been allowed more time to check the final condition in an area with better lighting. I wanted to take photos of the car but forgot due to feeling I had to rush to [INVALID] baggage and move along. "

" The check in process took extremely long. The price to rent a satnav was about $17 a day which is extortionate for a 2 week rental (even if there is a maximum). It was cheaper to buy our own satnav. I think Hertz should review their prices for satnav rental. The car was fine even though it was scratched everywhere and the front number plate looked like it was going to fall off every minute. The return was speedy and efficient. All in all, we were satisfied with our experience. However, we had used Avis last time who provided a better car that had an in-built satnav for roughly the same price that we paid to Hertz. So next time, I would probably use Avis again. "

" I use auto Europe a lot and really like them. This past experience has dented my enthusiasm somewhat but I'll try not to let it dictate future rentals. "
" Was given a very average condition car with lots of scratches and dents which were ,I thought, all identified on pick up. On return they immediately saw a scratch on the under sill and accused me of having done it. The suggestion was to hold $500 for repair. Thankfully after much argument an employee overturned the counter staffs view saying it was already a very old car and to let me leave without further penalty This action embarrassed me and really embarrasses a company like Hertz. Why charge people for scratches and dents then give you the same car still with the same scratches and dents which presumably have charged other customers to fix. Just a sad rip off system and demeans the company and its customer. I'll never rent Hertz again. "

" The booking with autoeurope was simple however the request to have a grand jeep as it was advertised on the web was never confirmed. Well the rest at Abis Toronto was a disaster. "
" The actual car was not ready at Avis in Toronto. We had to wait over 90 min to be on our way from Avis. The first car provided after waiting 45 min and it was smelly, full of cigarette smoke and a damaged portable sat nav. We had to wait another 45 min + for another car which was also dirty in the inside, however by that time we had lost our patience with Avis and decided to accept the second car since we had a 5 hours drive which meant that we arrived at our destination after mid night. The staff did not have all the details of our insurance and asked if we wanted to pay for comprehensive insurance. I had to provide my print out for them to understand that our insurance was complete. "

" I have rented from Auto Europe many times and will continue to do so in the future. I find booking with Auto Europe, especially for North America, provides me with the best price and ease of booking. "
" During the rental I got a flat tire. It was almost impossible to get through to the correct department (Recovery) to get it sorted. I was given 5 different 1-800 numbers to call. When I finally got through to the right person, and speaking to them for 10 minutes, they permanantly left me on hold in excess of 1 hour. I was unable to disconnect the call and subsequently the landline that I was using was not useable. In sheer frustration, I went to the local Budget office where, thankfully, that individual helped me. It is totally not acceptable that when you are stranded and need assistance that the 1 800 number that was provided to me on my documents from Budget was not the right one. "

" I normally rent with Alamo. This time I tried Hertz and it was the best experience. The agent checking the car out was not interested in assisting me. He didnt take the time to check if we needed anything extra and was generally very disengaged in the process. He mentioned that I was his first customer and how he had just woken up. I tried to change the car as it didnt work for our family. Hertz were not helpful in this process. In fact we had to leave with a car that didnt work for our needs. The car did not have a full tank of gas. When I mentioned this to the agent they said sorry, nothing we can do about that, please return it full. I will not be using Hertz again. "

The trim level was very high with GPS, heated and power front seats, heated steering wheel which was a luxury in the cold weather during the two week rental period. We did not have to pay for anything additional, extra driver, waiver to excess, free tank of fuel were all included, just as the contract. Returning the car at the end of the rental period was just as efficient. "

" We didnt appear to be contracted with Auto Europe, but Discount hire. I dealt with this disastrous situation by phoning Auto Europe who, I admit, were extremely helpful, mainly due to the receptionist on the Hertz desk at Halifax airport offering me her landline to phone. They agreed that we should book another car and Auto Europe would refund the difference, so I assume that is what will happen. "
" Picking up the car from "Discount" at Halifax Airport was a complete disaster. They took ages to pick us up in the shuttle bus from the airport and when we got to the front of the queue after waiting about another 30 minutes, they offered us an "upgrade" of a truck!!! Unbelievable, they had no cars and there were three people behind us in the queue who had also booked. I felt sorry for the staff who simply didnt know what to do except ask us what could they do?! They did take us back to the airport and we entered into another contract with Hertz for a completely different booking of a proper car. We will be asking for a complete refund for the cost of this of course. "

" The price I had agreed to was not the price I had to pay the terms were not misleading but completely fraudulent. I had paid for a car rental for a trip to Canada, the terms and conditions for the rental stated that I was required to pay 10 dollars a day up to a maximum of 50 dollars on arrival for an additional driver. When I arrived, however, I was informed that this was not the case and the staff advised their cost was 12 dollars 99 cents a day for every day of the hire, to add to this they also charged for each day the car would be out of province which was stated no where when the purchase was made. I showed the desk staff the terms and conditions of the rental I had paid for however they refused to discuss this any further and would not provide the car until all additional costs were paid which amounted to 320 dollars. As a result of this, I had no other option other than to pay as no management were available to speak to and the desk staff were not willing to discuss this any further. being charged such a large amount of money over what was stated within the terms of conditions I had agreed to resulted in a trip of a lifetime being ruined as the extra money required for the car took away from other activities that had been budgeted for. The car which was selected for the rental was unavailable also and we were given something completely different which was much larger than what we had requested which my partner was not comfortable to drive therefore completely negating the payment for an additional driver. All in all the experience was awful and I feel completely ripped off, I would like to seek a refund for the service and compensation as not only was the service fraudulently portrayed this had a negative impact on a once in a lifetime trip. Please could someone contact me back regarding this as the service I was sold wasn't what I received and to be charged 320 dollars which wasn't agreed upon on arrival with no other option other than to pay it was completely unacceptable even after showing the terms and conditions to the desk staff which I had agreed to this was completely disregarded and refused.

" The service from Euro is superb. I have received reminders and updates as my date for rental was approaching. The price is very competitive and most wonderful about the policy is that the insurance is included in the price. Very impressive.... thank you "
" The personnel at Budget in Ottawa Canada are most helpful and professional. I have always been processed expediently, the car has always been pristine. I could not ask for more from a Car Agency. "

" Easy. Straight forward. "
" Vehicle pick up was LONG as apparently all Dodge vehicles had been recalled and there was nowhere to sit and wait, only stand. The vehicle was very easy and smooth to drive but going over rough road there was a thumping under the drivers side. It didn't impact vehicle performance. "

" Very pleased overall. Car ready when we arrived in Toronto and superior class than the one we booked. Brand new car that we had for 12 days, not one small problem! "
" The car we were given was brand new and a superior class than the one we booked. We were extremely pleased. Just the Satnav was a bit unclear - maybe a more modern one would work better. "

" Excellent experience, will use again in the future. "
" Excellent service; very quick to pick up and the agent was very friendly. Only slight bit of negative feedback that I can think of was that the vehicle seemed to be close to the end of it's period as a rental vehicle. There were quite a few obvious scratches and a dent that needed work and it wasn't a particularly new model. This is only a minor criticism as the vehicle worked perfectly and was in good condition in the interior. "

" We were given a Hyundai car, however I was not happy with the road noise and took it back the following day as we were travelling some distance. As no cars of that class (intermediate) were available the lady offered us a full size car and kindly waved the additional fee for the week. It is this sort of customer care that ensures satisfied customers return for future rentals. Many thanks to Akwinder Dayal for her assistance. "
" Size of car should be more detailed as when arrived at Thrifty they offered the alternative to the original booked which was much smaller so necessary to up grade.was pleased they offered Spouce insurance at no extra cost otherwise the service and the upgrade can was excellent.Would rent from them again as the same problem occurred when renting Ithink via yourselves from Budget around last August 2014 in Toronto Airport I had to up grade "
" Service was excellent - comments as above "
" Web-site allows fast researching of the best car-hire deals. "
" Friendly service, in particular a very helpful agent on return of vehicle after rental period. "
" Very good value and great customer service "
" Very good customer service "
" Simple, straightforward and a good price. "

" Booked a Budget through Auto Europe because I was struggling to find a vehicle in this fairly remote location in Canada, where not many of the hire companies seem to operate. Even on the Budget website I could not get what I wanted. However, the right cars was there for me at the right time. Only slight negative is that I had to pay locally for the "one way" rental I required, an extra $500 CA, which I don't think was clear on your website when I booked it (or if was, should have been made clearer). Overall, however, the price paid was reasonable for what I had. "
" The Port Hardy Budget office i booked from describes itself as "Downtown", so chose that thinking I might be able to walk to it. Downtown it isn't, however, being about 8 km out, best part of the way to the airport and requiring transport if you're staying in town. Taxis are hard to come by in Port Hardy and I was facing an hour's delay to get out to pick up my rental, but when I contacted Budget to let them know this, they offered to come and pick me up, which they did. Worth requesting this in advance if you're going to use them. Otherwise happy with the car, the staff and the overall rental experience. "
" Booked by phone as needed advice - very well handled. "
" car developed a fault on day 3 - changed and upgraded without hesitation - Avis cost more than sum but service is superior. "
" Great service and value for money "
" Got free upgrade, service was excellent could not fault "
" I have now used Auto Europe a number of times. It has always been a very straightforward process. Very good responsiveness when I had a question. This time has been no different. Very satisfied. "
" The experience overall has been OK. The car was in good condition. Only issue is lack of clarity with respect to the charging of petrol. The office where I took the car said that I could either fill up before giving the car back or pay for a full tank otherwise. I chose to top up the tank as we had not covered many miles. The returning office at Vancouver Airport said that I should have paid for a full tank, that this is the only option with the Auto Europe voucher. In the end they didn't charge but this difference in explanation is annoying.THis should be clearer. "
" Faultless service!! Thank You Auto Europe. "
" Excellent service!!! Will most certainly use Budget again on our next trip to Canada. "
" I have found Auto Europe always easy to deal with and helpful when contacted. "
" No problems with this rental. "
" would be useful to know at time of booking if car can be taken on ferries/ into US "
" Very good website Easy to find options Good prices "
" Very friendly and helpfull staff "
" Good one stop shop for researching the best prices for car rental. This is the second time that I used auto europe, I was content the first time, but less so the second time, as local taxes were omitted and the rental was therefore more than I expected. "
" Over charged me for extras and then charged me more than I was quoted. Will never use budget again. "
" the only problem I had was to get confirmation that hand controls could be added to the car. it took 3 days to do this causing me a bit of stress. auto-europe did not call to confirm when they said they would do. However, the car was delivered as promised and at a good price. "
" very good. we delivered the car back to terminal 1 and they gave us a lift to terminal 3 to catch the shuttle for the hotel. We were unaware that the car could be dropped of at any Alamo. very good service. "
" perfect. good prices. "
" upon request, avis offered a car with a built in gps, at an additional cost of 12$ per day, which is less than the 15$ per day for a separate gps. and the car was superior to the one booked, a chrysler 300c. avis was very cooperative. "
" Car supplied was probably 2 categories above compact originally requested. No real problem, but a bit of a gas guzzler. "
" Good value, but beware there are still additional costs to pay: Have to prepay for a tank of petrol Had to pay an airport pickup location tax "
" Tried to sell me additional items like winter tyres and upgrades to insurance. Did upgrade the car to a bigger one Overall - fine service "
" I was really pleased with the price, and the help offered - especially the phone number provided in case we needed to discuss any optional extras offered by the rental company at the time of rental. "
" The car was excellent quality, and the service quick and friendly. "
