" Always found Auto Europe to be great value. A shame about this particular episode. "
" No assessment of the car was done by Ecovia before we took the car away because it was dark. When we returned the car they said we had made 2 minor dents due to someone opening a car door and causing a dent in the rental car. We have no way of corroborating this and certainly didn't park it next to another car for the entire duration of the rental. They then promised to discuss the photos of the dents with their technical advisor and get back to me within 3-4 days but I still haven't heard anything. I then phoned 4 days after dropping off the car and they told me to wait 7 days and were quite confrontational. "

" Previously for a number of years Auto Europe had a special arrangement with Locauto which included an additional driver. This has now been withdrawn so my cost each trip has gone up by nearly 100 euros. Every holiday now I will shop around to see if I can get a better deal. Previously I used Auto Europe and Locauto every month for 2 week trips. "
" Usually excellent but two issues, having used Locauto in previous years and every month this year. First, the second driver is now not included, starting a couple of months ago, which adds nearly 100 euros to each trip. Second, they charge 100 euros for a minor scrape, double if there are two scrapes a tiny way apart. They use cars with aluminium wheels and charge if there is even a tiny mark on a wheel. Also, I now spend 15 minutes at reception turning down their ' special offers'. This time they wanted me to take a car only half full of fuel, then return it empty, then pay them 50 euros for the fuel. No! Also they now try to sell me breakdown insurance, surely that should be included. "

" As noted above, the Car2Move desk was not actually in the terminal building but some way removed from it. Had that been clear at the outset, I would have chosen another provider. Hunting around, carting a suitcase, is something I try to avoid. "
" It took us quite a time to find the Car2Move desk, which was not in either terminal as indicated in the hire voucher, but in a building several hundred yards away. We had to ask for directions 3 times to find it! It was also quite confusing exactly where to return the vehicle and to have it checked over. In the end, we parked illegally outside the building and went to get an agent to do the check. Fortunately, she was free, very efficient and we were able to move to the airport building. "

Return is better than it was 2 years ago but still confusing to find exact entry point to car park and finding the correct place to park. It would be good to have someone at the gate to meet and direct you. Very important if you have a plane to catch! Otherwise, everything was fine. "
