" Auto Europe failed to provide the correct information about the pickup. The office was NOT located in the airport. It is located in a local hotel which I only discovered by asking another rental company representative. This is very stressful for someone arriving after a flight. To have to walk around the airport searching for the pickup point is ridiculous. I would not recommend Auto Europe on this basis because I would not want someone else to suffer the stress I had to go through. "
" Flex To Go were great. Very efficient and friendly. However, the password on the rental documents did not work. Sending an email about the return of the vehicle just a few hours before is not helpful. And again the password did not work. I did not know where the local petrol station was, so had to search for it myself. The instructions from Auto Europe were absolutely USELESS! "

" Very dissatisfied and fin it extremely difficult to make a formal complaint "
" Pre-booked a car at Düsseldorf Airport with Flex to Go. On arrival, the agent aggressively pushed their €299 "comprehensive insurance," claiming my included cover was "not good." When I refused, they doubled the security deposit from €600 to €1,200 and then refused my UK credit card because it lacked embossed numbers -- despite UK banks no longer issuing them. However, they were happy to accept the same credit card to purchase their insurance that they refused to accept for the security deposit. Aggressive upselling, misinformation, and obstruction. Completely unacceptable. I won't be using Flex to go again. "

" I'm not sure if I would recomend, Auto Europe, because they did not make it very clear that FlexToGo are not exactly on the Airport. I spend a considerable amount of time looking for FlexTo Go on the airport forecourt. Also, rang the telephone number on the booking no one pickup. It was after asking around that someone at the airport finally informed me that FlexToGo are in the Maritim hotel. "
" The worst car rental company I have used. In spite of paying for 3rd party insurance with Auto Europe. They insisted I must pay another full insurance before I can take their vehicle. It was a very terrible customer service. And the vehicle I was given had service warning lights on but they refused to give another vehicle. "

" When I was handed the keys to the car and located the car itself it had not been cleaned inside. The previous customer had left some sweets on the back seat and the car was not in pristine condition. The vehicle itself was of a high quality. I felt the explanation of some of the terms and conditions could have been made clearer to some of the other customers which would have set their expectation. Primarily the pre-authorization of credit cards for those in terms and conditions some customers felt they were being hard on by. Overall my general experience was satisfied about not overly blown away. "
" Other way to collect the vehicle there were two customers before me to. Immediately as I joined the queue the lady hadn't formed me that she had been waiting for 30 minutes. I waited for 45 minutes before being seen to. There was only one member of staff attending to all customer queries. I was also a met by disgruntled customers complaining about hidden charges. "

" Auto Europe has been efficient with information and follow up. It remains to be seen if you can sort out the deposit issue with Flex to Go. "
" The office was out of the airport, something not detailed on the voucher. When we found the office in a local hotel, one staff member was on the phone and the other ignored us until I spoke to them. They then tried to pressure me into taking their excess insurance despite my informing them that I had already purchased it from yourselves. Having returned the car on time and undamaged in any way, Flex to go are still hanging on to the deposit on my credit card. They have sent me a 'handover protocol pdf that is locked with a password. Having entered all the possible combinations of the last four characters of my driving license, it still won't open. I have emailed Flex to Go about twice about this but have received no response. I am unhappy with their customer service and woried that Flex to Go want to hang on to my deposit without good reason. I hope you can go in to bat with them on my behalf. "

However, I was told that because the cancellation was at short notice, I would lose all money.

I was given a larger car and this was a nice bonus. I was surprised at the additional cost for the advanced insurance (I had already paid for the basic insurance) but the risk without the advanced cover didn't seem worth it so I paid the additional cost to save myself from any unnecessary expense in the unfortunate event of something going wrong. Overall, a great car and no waiting around so thank you! "

" The first person who we saw over the counter was very professional and helpful. However, the experience of receiving the child car seat was extremely negative and frustrating. Even though we pre booked it, the person was not able to assist us at all. The car seats were very dated and we weren't provided with any instructions on how to adjust the seat. Nowadays all car seat have isofix which makes adjusting the seat very straightforward. However, the car seats we were given were old and they didn't have isofix. The first one we received was broken, the second one did not have the right adapters we needed and the third one took us an hour to adjust due to lack of instructions. The unhelpful person behind the desk said it was not his issue and he was not allowed to help out, but didn't provide us with instructions wither. That is a safety breach as all manufacturers have a different system and not having the right instructions puts the child at risk. He was rude and could not have been less helpful. When asked if he could ask someone else in his team he refused and left the office. We spent quite some time looking for instructions online as we couldn't even see the model name and it was a very time consuming and frustrating experience which could have been avoided. "

" This is the second time I have used this company as my previous experience was good. On this occasion we were pleased to be unexpectedly provided with a larger car than we had booked. When we attended in the pick up area we found that our vehicle had two superficial scratches on the front nearside wing which were not shown in the check out section of the vehicles paperwork that we had been given. I took therefore took photos of the damage on my phone and t as there were no Buchbinder personnel to be seen, I had to search for a staff member. Once located, said staff member examined the rental vehicle and updated my paperwork accordingly to show said damage. I then took possession of the vehicle and one week later returned the vehicle in the same condition that I had received it in. The staff member in attendance at this time was shown my amended paperwork when he examined the vehicle at the handover. A few days later I received a letter from Buchbinder stating that I was responsible for the aforementioned scratches to the vehicles paintwork and that they had deducted nearly £800 from my credit card for repairs. I am now in dispute with them and have had to send them the time/date stamped photos that I took and copies of the paperwork that was amended by their staff member. I am not happy at all and am still waiting for Buchbinders response. Be careful using this rental company and ensure that any small areas of damage to vehicle is reported and recorded before leaving the parking area. "

I do understand the reason but was not aware that I had to have so much money on my credit card or otherwise I didn't get the car. So I was stuck at the airport with a baby, pushchair, car seat and luggage for 6 hours until someone could pick me up. And I have been told that I won't even get a refund because it's my own fault. I have never been so humiliated and stressed in my live and was even about to take a flight back to England. "

" I think the prices at the time of booking are slightly misleading, as these prices are never the final price paid on collection of the vehicle. There always seems to be a hike in the price on arrival. I booked a Ford Escort (or similar) and was given a Ford Eco Sport Small SUV and I have a feeling the price increased. This was a good car, but to be honest all I wanted was a Ford Escort and pay the price as advertised when booked on line. The insurance requirements are also unclear at the point of booking. On arrival it is confusing when asked to pay extra for insurance you thought you already had paid for when you booked the vehicle. It appears the hire company can charge what they like for the insurance, and the bigger the car the more the insurance is. I believe you should get the car you asked for, and the price paid includes everything including the option for extra insurance. I was not given an option, pay the fully comprehensive insurance premium and it is taken from your credit card. "

" My comments above explain the experience, and even worse was that we had a fairly old car. It had scratches on it that were not on the original documents but which were added at the point of collection. Whilst driving the car, the engine management light came on, and when I emailed the collection desk at Düsseldorf, they simply replied telling me I should take it to my nearest Global office for inspection. They did not arrange for an emergency service agency to come and have a look. There is NO way that I shouldn't be expected to drive to them, when their vehicle was faulty. They should have either arranged an emergency or local garage to come and have a look, or arranged to bring out a replacement vehicle. Again another example of Global Germany, not caring about or contemplating customer service as an essential part of trading. "
" The experience here was in marked contast to the treatment we received in Vienna. We arrived earlier that we had booked the card for, we were told in no uncertain terms that the card would not be available for a further hour( or at our reserved time), There was no suggestion that it would be any sooner as we had arrived early, and we were also told that there were no other cars available even an offer of an upgrade, and in fact were told there was NO chance. The whole team on the check in desk was pretty surely and not in any way welcoming, or apologetic for needing to wait. We did try going back a little earlier than our hours wait, but we're again told to go away as the car would not be available any earlier as it needed to be cleaned. Eventually one of the team went over to the car park where cars are collected, and said he was going to collect keys. This took longer that the walk we had to make to eventually collect our car. The treatment here was very very poor, and customer service and welcome smiles are completely missing. I would NEVER, NEVER make a booking with Global/Buchbinder in Dueesldorf or in Germany. The way we were treated was awful, and someone should be told they need to go on some form of welcome/ customer service training. In contast our treatment in Austria was exemplary, and I would recommend Global to anyone in Austria, but NEVER in Dusseldorf, and in fact would recommend anyone who asked to avoid them like the plague "

" car was great, and the price was the best i could get, service was easy there was damage to the car which we made a note of and went back to the desk in the airport , the computer had crashed and so it could not be checked. when i returned the car we had a small problem as the information was not loaded onto the system, however after a short explanation the firm taking the cars back allowed it back with no charge, well done to them for being customer friendly and proffessional will use you again thanks "
