" 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. "

" Until recently I would have recommended autoeurope without question from other good experiences, however I feel the company is also part to blame for my expertise this time as cross boarder charges are not mentioned anywhere (or at hidden deep in the T&C's if they are) which I would think should be standard practice when hiring at any airport or location close to an international boarder. Why is it not put into the "charges to be paid locally" section of your booking forms? And why is the value for this charge not mentioned as an additional cost also so you can compare and consider this at the time of booking? I would like to heat back on this from you, as I feel this constitutes an hidden or unadvertised charge which is extremely poor verging on fraudulent activity which left me well out of pocket and potentially could have seen me stranded in the middle of the night at a remote airport and unable to complete my travel plans! "
" Extortionate cross boarder charges that are not mentioned up front at all, as well as unscrupulous upselling tactics to get you to pay for their insurance. My hire went from €112 to €472 for 4 days in an economy sized car. Would never hire from them again. "

" Aggressive up selling for insurance I didn't need was not acceptable. "
" I had added full insurance cover when I made the booking. when I picked up the car from the agent at flex to go he claimed he didn't know what the additional insurance would offer and then very aggressively tried to sell me further cover for €200 ( which would also cover insurance in a third country).... When I said I didn't need it, he then said he would do a deal and reduced his offer to €150. When I said I still didn't need it he told me that he would place a block of €1000 on my credit card which would remain in place for 30 days, but if I paid him €150 he would waive that. I felt bullied and threatened, particularly when he advised me that flex to go would have access to my credit card for that 30 day period. I didn't pay him anything. But the experience was a rotten start to our holiday and I certainly would not use this car hire agent again. the car was lovely, and my return experience was very positive, but this type of sales experience should really not take place in my view.

" I am very displeased with my experience with this rental and I expect Auto Europe to deal with my complaint which neither your reservations team has done yet (request#4344206) or your customer service team (request #4358249, where I've been told your response time will be 6-8 weeks). Just to sum up the issue, I arrived at 10.30pm at the desk to pick up the car but Flex to Go said they could not accept my credit card as they had a policy requiring six month of validity following the return of the car (my card was still valid for 100 days but they needed 180). My other cards were an AMex (which they don't accept) and a debit card (which they would take either). I proposed adding my wife as a driver and using her VISA but they said the original booking was in my name so they couldn't do this either. In the end I was only offered the possibility of paying €320 to get their Insurance Plus product as well as pre-paying the fuel of the car (an additional €50). I called Auto Europe on the spot but was offered no solution other than calling customer service the following day. With 2 young children at 11pm in Hahn airport and 40 miles away from my airbnb, I was left with no choice but to pay this amount to be able to get the car. This credit card policy is completely non-standard and was not flagged by Auto Europe to me when I did the booking. I believe Auto Europe should not be offering a company with this non-standard policy at all or at least have this properly informed to clients. Therefore I would like Auto Europe to refund me for this amount. "

" I want to escalate my complaint who do I approach? "
" Extremely poor from the start. The various shuttle vehicles I saw are not fit for purpose. The van that arrived at the terminal could not accommodate everyone who was waiting nor my skis. I had to wait for another hour to be picked up after the van left. The station wagon which then arrived seemed to be a private car and was very crammed and just managed to fit my skis. People were left as the queue of people left waiting was very large. At the pick up, Flex to Go charged 150 Euro for my cross-border trip (Germany to Munich). In over 10 years of using Auto Europe, this is the highest I have ever been charged for this. The person at the desk then used this as a ploy to sell me their insurance which used the amount for the cross border as a way of making their insurance seem palatable. The person produced a piece of paper outlining their insurance options and which would avoid me leaving a credit card deposit (the usual process). Their cost was 292 Euro. When I complained at the cost of the cross-border fee, the person justified it by saying "but you didn't pay a lot for the cost of the car hire". I put it to you that this process is a scam - a honey trap. Where Flex to Go entice people by relatively cheap car hire options and then trap you with the cost of the cross-border fee. Additionally, when I was waiting to pick up my vehicle, the customer in front of me said to the person processing their vehicle that they were staying in Germany and not crossing into another country. The Flex to Go person said that all their vehicles were fitted with GPS and that if they found out that they had cross a border they would be fined 1000 euro. I put it to you that this sounded like a threat! I was made to feel very uncomfortable by the Flex to Go person's manner and threat. I will never use Flex to Go again. "

I have never been charged before for this and there is simply no information from Auto Europe to say it would be a possibility. Indeed the voucher sent clearly says there would be no further mandatory fees. Thankfully I paid for everything with a credit card and I have submitted a section 75 claim to my credit card company. "
" Dreadful experience. At payment to Auto Europe there was no indication that a further fee would be required to travel into Austria. This fee doubled the price of the car hire! To compound matters it took almost an hour and a half to get to the car hire depot - this was not highlighted in any information from Auto Europe.

" My experience with Flex-to-go was not at all good. Firstly I was expecting the rental car company to be on the airport site and not a shuttle bus ride away. In order to get the shuttle bus I had to call a number and wait 20 minutes for the bus to arrive. Then the journey took another 20 minutes to get to the off-site company location. Then when we arrive we were told that in order to drive the car to Austria it would cost another €150 which basically doubled the entire rental cost!!!

" Very disappointed "
" I had to drop off without anyone at the desk, to ask for a joined car verification. I called the number on desk and communicated my drop off, and if someone could check and confirm my vehicle was with no damage, but have been told it could only be verified later that day. As by magic I have been charged for an invisible damage on the front screen! Not only that, but after nearly 3 weeks have no received further communication, and my deposit has not been refunded yet. Very very disappointed! "

" Booking process seemed to be very smooth and transparent. Insurance option clear and fair. Biggest downside for Auto Europe is their choice of partners as it's very clear to me, that Flex to Go could be cheap, but there's a very obvious reason why. "
" The car I suppose to pick up wasn't ready and needed to be changed at the point of collection. This was very chaotic and time consuming. Car required cleaning and refuelling, milage didn't get updated. At the point of drop-off (Sunday, 9am) everything was OK. On Tuesday I checked my credit card and 500€ deposit didn't get refunded. When I checked my email, I had a very dodgy looking invoice for 500€ for allegedly taking the car outside of Germany. Unbelievable!!!!! I contacted my bank immediately, blocked the transaction, triggered chargeback procedure and requested to block the merchant completely! Absolute scammers!!!!! Avoid like a plague!!!! "

" After what happened to us we checked the experience of other customers with Flextogo and alas noticed that every single customer had a similar experience to ours. Being accused of damaging the car and being asked to pay thousands of pounds for that. Now I reckon you should guarantee for the companies you list on your website as we trust you as mediator for our purchases. However in this occasion, you failed to protect us from scams perpetrated by this company and as other customers on Trustpilot highlighted, there would be difficult to trust you as a broker in the future "
" Staff was too busy with customers at the drop off and asked us to leave the car, drop the keys without checking the status of the car and releasing our deposit upon verifying everything was in order. We trusted them as the car was well taken care of and in the same conditions as it was at the start of rental. However, the following day, we shockingly found out that they still held the deposit and prompted us to complete a form as they allegedly claimed they found a scratch on the car. We immediately replied by email about the untruthfulness of the claim and that they themselves have acted against their policies by not checking the car at the drop off and we claimed that they must have been the ones who damaged the car. Luckily, after spending the whole day dealing with this ordeal, we noticed they had returned our deposit in full. "

" Would be good that these extras like going to other countries would be visible at the time of booking, just like full tank, unlimited milage etc. "
" No staff present when taking the car and returning. So have a dispute now about ccar cleanliness and they charged double the ammount of what was in the t&c's. We arrived earlier and still could have cleaned a little bit of dust on the matts, if they think it is dirty. Also was given automatic instead of manual. And we were charged extra for traveling to other contries, of which i was not aware at the time of booking. Had to pay 100€, couldnt say no as our hotel was already booked. So for one day of being outside off Germany cost us so much money - even if it was 5times closer than the other side of Germany. Basically, attracted us with cheap prices and charged extra later when we had no choice. "

" Absolutely terrible.! "
" Car was hired from Flex to Go in Cologne. They initially wanted 1200 Euros for the deposit which I finally managed to negotiate down to 500 Euros. I told them I had full insurance, they didnt care.! I then asked to drop off the car in Dusseldorf as I had to travel from a different airport. They emails me and said this was OK but would cost an addition 205 Euros. I called and emailed them 5 times for clarification on the drop off point and contact numbers, no one responded for 2 days and I ultimately had to leave the car in Witten and leave the keys with my client. One of the most stressful car rentals I've ever had in my life. Totally inadequate company with no proper emergency number or email address that works.! "

" Will always recommend auto Europe, my go to hire car company, won't use flex to go again, as above "
" Only problem is it's taking a long time to get my holding money on my credit card back, and clear my account back, considering it was all cleared on checking and returning hire car, without any issues , did try to hard pressure extra cover payment when picking up hire car, unlikely to use again.

" The experience was not pleasant "
" The staff were very slow to process the car hire, despite all information already submitted. The car was not in a good state of repair and the charges for cross border travel were not clear and the cleaning feels added after 10 days hire felt like something that should be included in the hire price.

" The rental all went smoothly. The main problem was leaving the airport and returning the car at the end. The signs at Cologne-Bonn airport need to be much clearer to remove the stress at each end of the process. I can't be the only customer who has experienced this. The counter staff went to great lengths to assist me in this, but it is very easy to take a wrong turn. "

" Very easy process, even when I had to cancel existing booking and make a new booking. Changing booking might be easier, but that option is not available (needed to change pick-up date only). "
" Easy pick-up, easy return. However, contract only per email, so ask for a copy on pick-up to be able to check any pre-existing damages to the vehicle. "

" In summary, although the rate was competitive the whole customer experience from this car rental company was poor. "
" Booking through Auto Europe and as a regular hirer of cars at Cologne Airport my first time experience in using Flex To Go was very disappointing when compared to the other car rental companies at this airport. Herewith are the customer service shortfalls experienced on my booking. 1. Confusion as to the whereabouts of the car keys resulted in a 35min. delay in driving away with the allocated vehicle. 2. Extensive damage on the vehicle was not noted on the rental documents. Attempting to inform a person was difficult as the counter/phone no. is not manned at all times. 3. Eventually a person responded and said; " don't worry about the damage as it was a vehicle that was due to be sold and we had no alternative but to take off the vehicle sale line". 4. The approx. kms. driven was no more than 350 during my rental, however the mileage recorded on the final rental docs. is 899?? 5. The rental doc. indicates 50% fuel level, however the car was full at the start of the rental period 6. There was no mandatory Parkschein in the car, I therefore had to buy this item during the hire period. "
