One of the most scenic countries in Europe, Germany has all the right ingredients for a very enjoyable holiday, with plenty of potential for exhilarating road-trips all over the country. There's nothing better than a long drive through the beautiful Black Forest or across the Bavarian Alps, passing through a succession of old medieval towns huddled around picture-book castles en route. Berlin, the capital, is a major metropolis with several top attractions to offer, chief among them the Brandenburg Gate, one of the world's most iconic and historic landmarks. Munich is equally popular for its first-class museums and vibrant beerhalls, right in the heart of Germany's most picturesque tourist region. Frankfurt, likewise, is another fascinating city destination packed with culture and first-class tourist attractions. With a car hire in Germany you can explore the famous Romantic Road (one of the motoring world’s oldest travel itineraries) and the fascinating Fairy-tale Route running through the homeland of the Brothers Grimm, creators of Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. And no winter visitor can resist the draw of the many Christmas markets that spring up all over Germany during the festive season.

" Hertz charged extra taxes additional 305 euros 90 for additional driver 82 more tax and 105 up front fuel . See the comments about my experience. Also the hertz place closes at 10 and our flight was late and we were not made aware of this. The booking with yourself was good but experience with hertz in Munich was terrible "
" Dear Hertz Team, I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my recent rental experience with Hertz. My experience was far from satisfactory; it was dangerous and reckless, a clear duty of care issue, and I am disappointed with the level of service provided. Thank you for the full invoice. I am still having difficulty accessing all the information, but I will try on my computer at my earliest convenience. However, I have no knowledge of any scratches or dents, but I am aware of the tyre situation. As outlined below, this was a distressing situation. I must bring to your attention a distressing incident that occurred. On Monday, 25th August, I received a call from the Hertz breakdown team at around 5 pm, which was concerning an incident that happened at approximately 1:30 am on the 22nd August. During this time, I, along with three other individuals – two females and two children – were left stranded without any support in the middle of the night. This situation was not only inconvenient but also quite distressing for us, especially considering the presence of young children. The Austrian police became involved, and this added to my stress. We called the number given to us on the rental agreement letter, and there was no service. We tried several times, and it stated no service was available, and the whole party became upset. The following day after being rescued, we enlisted the help of the receptionist at the place we were staying in Austria. She rang the German Roadside Assistance, as outlined on the key and paperwork, and on each of the three occasions they spoke, they promised to ring me. They failed to ring after 2 calls from the police and the 30-minute timescale to remove the car. The receptionist rang Hertz in Innsbruck, and I must commend this section of Hertz as they had the whole thing sorted in 30 minutes, and the car was taken to a garage and the tire repaired. At this time, I still had not received a call from the German roadside assistance. The call did not come until 25th August, four days into the 10-day hire period. We were left with no hire car, complete stress, and an upset party of people expecting to go back to the car only to find that the Austrian police had impounded it. I sincerely hope that this matter will be investigated and addressed promptly. Please be aware that if any unauthorized charges are made to my account, I will have no choice but to contact my solicitor. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution to this matter. "

" generally a positive experience except for the above complaint. "
" When I returned the car, I expected it to be checked over for damage etc. and for a full fuel tank. I then expected a receipt to confirm all was ok before I left the airport. I was told I would receive an email to confirm this, which I still have not. I was not pleased to leave the car without some evidence that all was ok with the car. i specifically asked the rep who guided me into the parking space to check the car thoroughly, which he did, but still no confirmation of this. I find it very stressful to leave a car which I know is undamaged and has a full tank of fuel, to then return home and possibly be informed at a later date that there was something wrong/not enough fuel which I would be expected to pay for.

" 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! "

" 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. "

" Our exceptionally poor experience was with Buchbinder car rental and their Mother company Europcar and not Auto Europe. Our experience with Auto Europe has always been excellent. "
" We were warned that the car we had requested was not available and was allocated a MG SUV that was supposed to be the same size; however, this was not the case. As this was the only car allegedly available at this time we accepted the keys and went to check the existing damage advised by your sales assistant. The damage was extensive and the exterior and interior of the car was unclean, we reported this to the sales assistant and was once again informed this was our only vehicle option. Upon on our return to the car my Daughter and Son-in-law proceeded to fit the child seat provided by Europcar for my two year old Grandson. As they tried to secure him into the safety harness of the seat it became apparent that the harness was defective and did not meet European safety standards as the tension strap for the harness was not there and therefore my Grandson was not secure to travel. We returned to the sales assistants in the airport and they were dismissive of our concerns and our request for a seat that was legal and safe for travel. Once the missing seat tensioner was shown to the sales assistant a replacement was received, although begrudgingly. We then started to load the MG SUV and prepared to travel, when all of the electrics on the car failed and as my Husband had already prepared to drive the car, he was unable to put the wheel brake back on and the car started to roll backwards towards the car park wall, he then had to sit in the car with his foot on the brake, whilst I once again went to she sale assistants in the Airport to report the car was broken. I had to insist one of the sales assistants come to the car and witness the problem and our concerns, We were holding the car physically to allow my Husband to exit the car in order for the sales assistant to try and get the vehicle to work. The sales assistant could not bring the car back to life and had to search the parking garage for traffic cones to force under the back wheels to prevent Europcar's car rolling into a wall. My Husband then had to once again go to the sales area within the airport for the assistant to find him another car. While my Husband was in the Airport, my Daughter and I had to retrieve out luggage from a locked car boot (due to electrical failure). We had to crawl into the back seat and to drop a seat panel and drag the luggage into the passenger area in order to get it out of the dead car. We were travelling as a family with a two year old child to visit my 94 year old Mother and did not leave the airport until 12:15am of the following day due to this fiasco. I have hired cars through Europcar on numerous occasions and on this occasion their sister company of Buchbinder and we were truly disappointed with the poor quality of their vehicle and the lack of initial lack of concern from the sales team for the safety and wellbeing of my family.

" The drop off was brilliant, however the pick up was traumatic! We had the most unhelpful hard-selling member of staff that I have ever experienced. He wasn't pleased that we didn't upgrade and became unhelpful at this point. At the beginning we thought he was offering us a free upgrade but no. The car that we did get was not the car that we had booked and was so worn, scratched and scraped that we had to spend at least 20minutes photographing all of the problems before we could drive off. We struggled to find the location of the car in the carpark and had been told that there would be a member of staff there in case of problems. There was a problem but no member of staff. There was a noise when the breaks were depressed which sounded like worn breakpad. After a couple of laps round the car park however the sound had cleared, so we assumed that it was just that the car had not been used for a while. As we had quite a long journey to make we needed to set off, however I was not comfortable driving a car that I suspected had defective breaks, hence being traumatised at the start of our journey. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" Queue at customs made us later than planned. Operative told us no car immediately ready, that a car was being washed and we may have to wait 15 minutes. Car was collected from car park which is fairly dark even on a summer's day making it not ideal to check Car over. Mitsubishi Cross Star looked old. 57000 km on clock.

" Not sure where to start from. My wife and I were served by an older blond lady, after taking my documents she started making comments of the type of car I had rented and how small and cheap it was, and that with this car I wouldn't be able to go to Austria with, even thought I had told her I only needed to go to Erdin and back. Then, she looked at a Spanish family that arrived in the queue behind me and started berating them because they should have arrived earlier and she was closing the counter, she told them in front of us she should not be working past 10pm. The family explained their flight was delayed and that they emailed to inform of the delay, she wasn't happy at all and kept on being rude to them. So much so that the father of the family commented, is this the type of appreciation we receive by renting with with Hertz? After taking my keys we went to the 6th floor to collect the car, to our astonishment the bay she wrote on the envelope WAS WRONG! And I have picture to prove it, we were rescued by the Spanish family that saw the flashing lights of a car as we were walking and trying to find the correct bay around the car park. The exact same happened to the Spanish family, she also gave them the wrong bay information and they had to go back downstairs to ask for the correct bay! If you thought this was all, the cherry on the cake comes now, the deposit she was meant to hold on my card actually ended up being charged to my card, €800 euros, to which I need to call your office and spend my time to sort it out. # she should be fired! Never experienced a worst customer service in my 50 years! A tragedy! "

" Hi, I have already raised this in the feedback questionnaire with Hertz, they have not responded yet. the person at the collection counter of Hertz was not in a good mood when I collected the vehicle and the conversation was not polite. He entered my email address wrongly and as it was not shown to me, i did not notice and wanted to get moving asap, as this was a way of getting away from the person behind the desk. The car was great, but I did NOT receive an email conversation by Hertz about the rental. I rang them at least 5 times at the desk the following day, no one picked up. I sent them an email, was later told it did not arrive, note it wasn't returned either. On the return, I made the extra effort of going back to the counter and requested the email address to be corrected, as it was indeed incorrect. This was completed and i was reassured I would get the 'close of contract' email - I never did. That lady also told me my email never arrived. I then asked Hertz to send me the missing documents via feedback questionnaire, and am still waiting for a reply. As they have since waived the credit card charge, I am assuming there was no further discussion necessary, but this should have been confirmed by Hertz in writing. Car was great and fantastic value for money. I would use Hertz again but will never walk away from a counter again without insisting to be shown the screen where they have entered my contact details. On another note, i was puzzled they needed my email in the first place, shouldn't they simply transcribe it from my autoeurope rental? thanks for reading all of this "

" 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 always value booking through Auto Europe, but would never ever recommend or use Hertz again, and would dissuade everyone from using them. "
" Unproblematic pick up. However the car did have some slight damages that were not recorded so I took pictures before departing. Had to wait 20+ minutes at drop-off to see an agent, who viewed the car and my pictures and declared there were no damages to record, and I was cleared to go. Two days later I get an invoice for nearly €400 with no detail on the damage. I emailed them back to contest this and shared the photos and video, in case it related to the damage I discussed with the agent. No response from Hertz. I will likely need to claim through insurance despite not being the one that caused the damage, having evidence to prove it, and being told there were no damages I would get charged for. I've never had a worse car hire experience and will steer well clear of Hertz in future. "

" 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. "

" 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.

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.

" No proper hand over of the vehicle when picking up, just trying to throw off extra charge for "additional" covers where already opted in for full comprehensive cover including excess protection. However, when it comes to return they come out and inspect quite thoroughly vs pick up (nothing) with no clear photos they've already taken a quite a while ago. Had I not have photos taken myself upon pick up I'd probably have ended up either paying for what they claim my fault or gone into long discussions where I had a flight to catch.

" 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. "

" Having called Auto Europe to complain about paying an additional 150 euro for travelling into Austria, I was told it was my responsibility to have found this at the time booking. 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. Having picked the car up - we discovered 10 miles into the journey that the car had no been re-furled. Altogether a worrying and difficult experience. "

" Important points like, the end supplier being at an off-airport location should be made extremely clear. Also, the fact that you need to pay an additional cost to drive to another country was buried deep in the terms and conditions. This should also be super clear to the customer, otherwise the experience is completely tainted and you end up feeling like you've been taken advantage of. It really was a disappointing experience "
" 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!!! Having no other choice I begrudgingly accepted the cost as it was late and there was no other option. "

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.

" Not Happy "
" OK MOBILITY - Reservation No. #8458373 Auto Europe - Voucher No. #5593301 a The customer services receptionist was excellent, professional in every way. She clearly stated all we needed to know about the rental requirements. Unfortunately, we cannot remember her name. the check in time for the first vehicle was 11.37, and for the second vehicle was 12.25. this wasted nearly an hour due to the seat belt problem and the very inconsiderate parking in the pick-up car park She selected our first car from the available vehicles, clarified all of the damages which were present on the car, describing clearly the way we had to go to find our vehicle, gave us the car park exit ticket and the parking space number. Our vehicle was parked in a very tight space, made more difficult due to the fact that vehicles had been parked in the roadway in front of our vehicle. Eventually we got the vehicle out and into a position where we could all get in, load our luggage and prepare to leave. This was when we discovered the crucial problem, the centre seat belt in the rear had been manufactured incorrectly, such that the seat belt itself would move but the seat-belt clip to secure the seat belt in place could not, because of this manufacturing error by MG the seat belt was unusable. I had to return to the OK MOBILITY customer desk where the young lady quickly sorted out a new rental agreement and a vehicle and walked with us to the first vehicle to concur the error on the first car. The second car was also an MG HS, again she pointed out some damages and that the vehicle was overdue some service issues which the vehicle system would tell us every time we stopped and started. The vehicle had 54,379 Km on the odometer, the interior was showing this. The drivers side floor mat had worn through, the communication screen was not stable, so we had to use our personal GPS apps. As we got out of the car park it was clear that there were some other mechanical issues, as a retired automotive engineer for BMW, it sounded to me as if the wheel bearings were in bad condition or maybe the rear differential bearings were worn, or maybe both! The acceleration was very lazy and slow to respond to foot pressure. Taking all these issues into consideration, I was extremely disappointed with my experience with the MG. I hope that when I use OK MOBILITY again next year that we have a better experience. This was not our first experience of renting a vehicle from autoeurope although the receptionist could find no previous record of our rental in 2022. "

" 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. "

" 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.! "

The petrol tank was not full, even though the rental was from full to full. This caused me invonveniece and concern, as Ihad to photograph the level (again ebcause the staff in the garage were oretty useless and spoke no English or German). And at drop-off I had to go back to the counter to make sure I wasn;t charged extra. In addition, the OK Moblity office in FRA T2 was closed, so I had to take a bus to T1. "

" Booking with Auto Europe was as always good. And when I had a problem they were much quicker in replying than the car hire company. "
" I was unfortunate, and they're probably better than this usually. Was supposed to collect car from Frankfurt airport Terminal 2, and chaos in the airport on that day meant that it took an hour to get from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2, only to find the Wheego desk empty and a sign instructing me to go and look for someone back in Terminal 1. The car itself looked OK, but when drove away I thought the gearbox felt heavy, but assumed it was a characteristic of the car. Part way into the journey the gear box began to jam - it was not possible to change gear without stopping the car, deliberately stalling it and pumping the clutch. Contacted Wheego and agreed that I would cut short my trip and attempt to get the car back to the airport a day earlier than intended, then book into a hotel for the last night. I did that, got back with great difficulty and many stops. On the way back, an oil light came on as well (an unrelated problem). Wheego has not apologised or offered any refund. "

" Once again it was a decent service but not fantastic. I had reserved a standard car and ended up with a fairly large SUV. The size caused problems during our hire period especially in small underground hotel car parks. The car itself was a plug-in hybrid with a no charge in the battery and no instructions how to charge it. Why bother with a hybrid when it can only use petrol? A single sheet with basic instructions would have been very helpful. Taking the car back at Frankfurt was easy and very efficient "

There are other rental counters open 24/7 literally 5 meters away, it's not too much to ask to hand the keys over to one of those. Next, I receive a bill after the rental for supposed damage amounting to €1500. Thankfully, I took pictures of the cars condition at the start of the rental so the claim was very quickly squashed.

" We hired a car from Alamo Car Rental (NH COLLECTION HOTEL ARNULFSTRASSE 2 MUNCHEN, GERMANY) on 17th August, 2024. We returned the car the following day on 18th August. While returning the car at the same location it was noted by the person in charge that there were minor scratch marks visible on the right-side plastic wheel caps. There were no marks observed on the left side plastic wheel caps. There was contradiction as in the rental agreement, it was written as " Left Front Wheel Scratch: Felge fahrer seite vorne kratzer " but no marks observed in left front wheel caps rather marks were seen on right wheel caps. Please see the evidence of the pictures taken when the car was returned. By evening same day, they charged 1050 euros our debit card without even sending us an invoice. A set of 4 plastic wheel caps when I checked online for that car was 25 euros only. There has been no damage to the car whatsoever other than this minor scratches to the plastic wheel caps as can also be verified from the report (Inspection Report.jpg) attached. We are very upset and highly disappointed as there was no mail to even notify us that we have been charged this amount from the card. We only realised it much later when we were checking our bank statements. We made repeated calls to the car rental office to understand why this happened and were very confused, but the calls did not get through. Our rest of the holiday was spoiled due to this. We happened to visit Nuremberg airport on 26th August and there we went to the Alamo office where we explained this to the person at the Alamo office (Enterprise). He verified that 1050 euros (250+800) were deducted and admitted that it is a mistake as the charge should be around only 25 euros at max even if the wheel caps were scratched. He asked us to send this mail and assured us it will be followed through. So far, we have made several phone calls and Witten many emails. There is no response at all. This is an act of loot. This is deception and violation of consumer protection rights according to EU consumer protection law section 2011/83/EU, section 2005/29/EC, section 93/13/EEC. "

" Our flight from Manchester to Munich was cancelled on Saturday morning and we were rerouted via Vienna. Despite eight attempts to contact Hertz, no one answered the phone. Unbelievably, they close at 5pm on a Saturday so when we did finally arrive a couple of hours after that there was no one there and we had to hire from another firm. I have requested a full refund but have heard nothing up to now. "

" Auto Europe provided an excellent, friendly and efficient service. However the same CANNOT be said for Enterprise at Frankfurt Airport. "
" I have rented from Enterprise in the UK and abroad for many years and I have always been very happy until this rental. The car itself was excellent, but that was all. I made my booking using Auto Europe as it was cheaper, gave better choice of cars (?!) and a low-cost upgrade. I have my own excess cover, but it does not cover breakdown, so I checked and Auto Europe confirmed that breakdown assistance and recovery was included. I also gave our flight details for arrival at Frankfurt Airport, Terminal 2. I was travelling with my 92-year-old father who has limited mobility. On arrival, the special assistance team provided a wheelchair and took us to the Enterprise Office at Terminal 2, only to find it was closed. Instead we had to take a difficult bus journey to Terminal 1. Thankfully special assistance was able to stay with us, so we made it. At the Enterprise desk, I was told breakdown cover was chargeable. I have never had this before with Enterprise and I had selected them over two cheaper options because of this. When I pointed this out, I was not charged for breakdown cover, but I have no idea if we were covered. In addition, I was not informed about the condition of the vehicle and it was NOT personally handed over to us. Later I realised we had not been given any return information and I couldn't find it in the documentation. I made several attempts to contact Enterprise at Frankfurt Airport and despite being told by call centre they would call me back, they never did. Eventually I emailed Auto Europe and they quickly called me back. They put me through to the Enterprise office in Frankfurt city who told me where and how to drop off the car on return to terminal 2. Overall this was a very frustrating and incomplete car hire service from Enterprise at Frankfurt Airport, only offset by the high quality and good condition of the vehicle provided, and the excellent service from Auto Europe. Extremely disappointing. "

" Hiring a car is always slightly fraught with uncertainty as you are never quite sure what car they will give you. I know the main brands (VW, Ford) but some of the cars they have nowadays I don't have a clue so very difficult to know at the desk if the car will be suitable. "
" The car was fairly dirty on the outside, making it difficult to see if there were any scratches. It would be really handy to have a representative in the car park when picking up the car so that you know it has been agreed that there are no scratches. I spend the whole hire time concerned what you guys will say when I drop the car off. "

" Hi I picked up my rental car from Berlin Airport and was my Worst experience ever had, The lady what was serving us she was very Racist with us I think she have a problem with people from Arabic country's, I arrived in the airport around 10pm with 2 kids and my wife she have a cancer, And to have a key for a car is been more than 1 hour and half to get the key because she said I'm not sure if your driving licence is original or fake, I told her if I'm coming to do something un legal you think I'll come with 2 kids? And she said she was worry because she can see I'm originally from Arabic country and I have a Italian passport and I have English driving licence because I live in England so she wasn't happy with this mix , I told her how I can I approve for you more than to have Italian ID and Italian passport and English driving licence, she asked for a resident card I told her for European citizenship in England we don't get resident card we just apply online and then we receive everything online by email she asked to show her, after I show her the email from the English government she said is no any stamp on that email so may be is fake, I asked to speak with any manager she said I'm super supervisor here, And all that time my kids was crying because was late time so need to go to bed, then she asked me for more approval documents, then I show her 2 more things and finally she gives me the keys, to be honest I'm always traveling and always renting cars from everywhere never had bad experience like that before.

" 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. "

I have made this journey annually for many years and have never paid more than €35 with other hire companies... I was shocked at the cost and it would make me think twice about using them again even though in all other aspects they were great. "

" I have always used Auto Europe to hire cars, but the last two experiences with Thrfty in Orlando and now Hertz in Munich have really let you down. Last year I hired a car through you and from Enterprise at Munich airport too and they too downgraded the car I had booked. When you have 5 adults and luggage you need a car that you book or one similar - not smaller. I dont see the point in giving flight numbers and times if you are going to be given what they have got. "
" I told the guy at the ciunter I needed a car with a large boot having booked a BMW 5 series estate or similar and was offered a small estate, the size of a hyundai 30. It was premium but no leg room at the back and small boot. I had to go back to the counter and then was offered a SUV, which again had a smaller boot. We took it and managed luggage on our laps as we hadnt time to waste going back to the counter again. The car was not what we asked for nor similar in my view. "

" Cross border charges were not clear at the time of booking, and only imbedded in the T&C . I only noticed it when I was charged the same by Hertz at the time of pick up. No clear breakdown or differentiation between the actual cost of car rental and the insurance bought. "
" No clear instruction or information about the EV charging fees, unexpected cross border charges which I never encountered whilst renting cars in Germany, and unexplained charge of the initial EV charge which was not competitive. Overall I spent more £/Km on EV compared to typical diesel charges, which defeat the purpose of an EV and I put this down to poor information from Hertz. "

" My flight was scheduled to arrive at 16:30 when I had booked my hire from but was slightly delayed by approximately 50 minutes, coupled with the length of time to get through passport control I arrived at Enterprise by 18:00 to be told by the staff member from Enterprise that as I was more than 30 minutes late they had given away my hire car and that the only available car required an additional €30 for each day of hire. I use your service a lot and have never had this experience in spite of always being later than the time of the booking by at least 30 minutes. The staff member was incredibly rude and unhelpful and showed not a drop of empathy to the situation. Myself and my colleagues were all incredibly disappointed with this service but were left with no choice but to pay the premium for the other car. Atrocious service from Enterprise, very very disappointed with this as I know that they are a company that ordinarily pride themselves on customer service.

I am hoping that the grey folder with the original death certificates is still in the car and that the team who takes the car in will check and pass on to the team upstairs as I am back in January.

I am visiting Frankfurt twice a month and last time I took my car from you as well and all went fine. This Wheego was testing project and it ended not so good so we are not selecting this company anymore. Auto Europe we will use also in the future. "
" When I went to Wheego counter no car was available. I had to wait for the car. When the car finally arrived it was not fully tanked or washed or vacuum cleaned. When I returned my car Wheego claimed that I have caused new damages but no one provided me the protocol of the stand when I got the car, only the new protocol of the damages which were caused by the previous driver. Wheego booked a caution of 250 euro from my accounts but never returned it. I assume that this due to the claim that I caused the damages which I did not do. Normally I photograph the car I am renting but this time I didn't do it as the waiting time was very long and when I went to pick up point there were no one and I had to walk back to counter to inform that still don't have keys. Frustrated about the service in general. I was advised to walk down again then someone handed me the keys but not any protocol of the car. It was clearly my mistake not to check the car thoroughly before accepting it. I only photographed the fuel gage. If Wheego sees that I have to pay the caution of 250 euro then can you send me respective invoice. This is company rental and we need the invoice copy. Can you check this with your partner. "

" Everything was good except for the drop-off of our rental car in Paris. We planned to return it at Paris Airport. After an unexpected change of our booked flight, we had to take the train. This means that we had to drop off the car at the train station. However, finding the exact drop-off location took us several hours as the place that we searched over the internet and also told by the lady in Hamburg office was incorrect. Eventually we ended up of having to send one person to walk toward the Europcar office in the train station building (it turned out there are two sections, North and South) and get the exact location. We wish the public drop-off location will be changed by someone to reflect the true location so that the next person renting the car and decide to change the drop-off location to Paris train station will not have to drive around without knowing the drop-off address is wrong.

" This depends on how you react to my quite valid criticism of corporate greed. "
" So I was told that I needed insurance when I picked up the car, or else each incident would have an excess of E1250. I asked how much the insurance was for a week and was told E360 - this was MORE than it was to hire the car. Basically, it's quite criminal of Hertz to panic a client into buying very overpriced insurance by setting a huge excess. You are meant to be helping clients, not making their holiday worse. ALSO, I was told that if I didn't fill up the car, it would cost me E750 to fill it from empty. Again, this is criminal behaviour. I drove around looking for petrol, then missed my plane, which cost me E600. And I have been asked to pay for E120 of petrol. All the behaviour of Hertz did was stress me out. "

The car was then not in the location I was told and after about half an hour of looking, I was fortunate enough to bump into a Europcar employee who managed to locate it (approx 150m from the car park space that was written on my ticket). Finally, when hiring a car, one assumes that all services etc. are up to date. However, whenever the car was started a warning was displayed that the car was over 6000Km overdue a service. All in all not my best car hire experience and I am not sure I will advising the guests that book my holiday house to have a similar experience. "

" As per the agreement I attempted to phone Auto Europe to tell them we would be delayed. I called the put of hours number on two occasions on one occasion I hung on for over 14 mins without any answer. I have the phone records to prove this. Despite this Auto Europe have not offered to refund me any of the money I paid. I am currently over €500 out of pocket by having to hire a car from another supplier(Sixt) because Auto Europe did not answer the phone. "
" Although they had been given my flight details and knew my flight was delayed they did not keep the desk open. They did not answer the phone when I tried to phone them to tell them we would be late. This resulted in me having to rent a car from another supplier.

" It was a pity that my flight was delayed, and this was only communicated to the passengers on the plane once we had boarded. As a result, I was unable to communicate that I would not be able to pick up the car by 10.00pm, and the desk was closed when I did arrive at 10.15pm. Therefore, I had to sleep on a chair in the terminal until I could pick up the car when the desk open the following morning. "

" We had a really annoying experience. Auto Europe need to take some ownership of the gap between buying a voucher and the local car hire office not really caring about the Auto Europe customer. It should not be possible to book a car at 11pm if the office isn't open! I've been extremely loyal to Auto Europe for almost 20 years now when travelling across Europe, US, South America and Australia. I've had the odd issue but never something as basic as this. I'm certainly considering other options and will not recommend Auto Europe at all until I hear something credible back from you! My main point is I had my 11yo son in tears and extremely tired and frustrated. If you had a baby with you or were disabled it would've been even worse. You should follow this up because it's such a basic process fail and should never ever happen to your customers. Thank you! "
" The booking was for 11pm. The flight details were on the booking. Apparently the usual practice is for the Terminal 2 Office to shut at 7pm and a message is on the door to go to the other terminal. Our plane was 10mins late and we got the Terminal 1 office at 11.15pm. Next door (Sixt) told us that National had closed at 10:45pm. We had to book an expensive hotel and sort out transport to it which wasn't easy. We had ski kit and airport taxis wouldn't take us because they were e class mercedes that couldn't take a 190cm ski bag. Public transport was available but no one was around to explain how to use it. We talked to cleaners and randon travellers but it still took us almost 2 hours to get to the hotel, eventually we got an uber from a tube station because although we'd got the right tube line it was the wrong direction. The next day I explained this to Salome Gloux from National who as polite and apologetic. We were given a free upgrade and no charge for going into Austria which was helpful. However the hotel cost 133 euros and we eventually left the airport in a car about 11 hours later than expected, which is basically half a day of our holiday. I don't understand why National shut the office knowing we had a booking for 11pm. If they had attempted to call me I had my phone on as we landed around 10pm local time. Really poor service, it can't be that hard to notice that one of the bookings hasn't turned up. If they looked up the flight they would've seen it was 10mins late and landed in the other terminal so would take 20mins to get over to their office. Also other car hire offices were there and open!

" Very good friendly service at collection point. Excellent vehicle. Only slight frustration was receiving an email from Sixt the day after we had returned the vehicle - to say we hadn't returned it and would we like to extend the rental period. I called Sixt and was advised it was probably just busy with returns. I still haven't received confirmation all is well but I have received an email from Sixt asking me how happy I was with the experience. I guess they've booked it back in now but a perfect experience fell short dime to this and it would seem to me a fairly simple matter to address? "

I check the obvious damage on the allows, which were and remained defect free. The damage claimed is against scratches to the bumper in the loading area to the boot. I loaded my small suitcase (10.6 kgs) into the boot horizontally due to low level of parcel shelf. At no time did I unload the case vertically, which would have been alinged to marks identified by the returning receiving person. I mention that I had not damage the areas marked and he advised that I would not have to pay for the damage. He proceeded to mark 2 lines perpendicular to the bumper on the top face of the bumper "
" On hire of the vehicle, the evident damages to the car were not pre-warned to me at the desk. The details of the damage were listed on the agreement, which arrived by email much later. On return of the vehicle it has been claimed that damage "not detailed enough" in the text has suffered further damage by myself during hire. I have contested this however the website was down and email correspondence undertaken. 1 day later no acknowledgement of my email.

" We seem to have been charged almost 30 euro for refuelling, even though we refuelled before returning. If so, I will never use Budget again - this charge was not stated by the counter staff, or maybe it was the drop-off staff who didn't recognise that the car was full and shouldn't be charged. For all I know, this charge that was on the receipt they sent, won't actually be levied? if so, I'm almost more irritated - I wasted a lot of time trying to contact budget to find out if this was being leveied (and when I go through to UK, they said they wouldn't be able to see details for 48h) Expensive car already so really annoyed at the extra charge.

" See my comments above about Europcar. Unfortunately as it is the recommended provider via Auto Europe it does impact the experience, although I know that AE were not directly involved. "
" As the car was to collect in one location and drop off at another, I did wonder about the car I would get. The car seemed to have dents and marks on it, it was an Astra and I'd have liked a Golf as booked, but same category. The damage seemed listed on the forms. The agent was disinterested and on a cigarette break when we arrived and had to reopen the shop to tend to the booking. He just told me to find the car in the car park - very disengaged. The car ran well and was very fuel efficient, no issues. When I returned the car, the agent was not impressed with the car, he pointed out a number of marks, and then I gave him the paperwork to review and he pointed out that many issues were wrongly marked on the form and that I would have to pay. I did not like the tone he spoke to me, it was very accusatory, especially when he asked whether I had had an accident. I was not happy and said that I had worried that people had tried to move a "bad car" between agencies and that this was not my fault! He seemed to realise that there were issues that did not align and backtracked. But by this time I was unimpressed by the experience- I would have expected more from Europcar!! I still have not got an email to confirm that the issues are in order and am dreading the first message to be a charge in my MasterCard which I will chargeback! Not impressed. I will think carefully about using again. "

" Everything went very well and smoothly with very easy pickup and drop off with the car. We thought this was the easiest part of our holiday and on return filled in an Avis ratings form with a very good report only to find later that day on checking my online bank, Avis have an extra £121. 42 pending transaction due out?? We paid with Auto Europe in full before we left. Nothing has been said to us from Avis regarding this extra cost and no reply to emails=hence we are still in limbo with this and Auto Europe are looking into it for us. On research Avis seem to be very good at adding extras on without any information to the customer? According to Trip advisor and other travel sites. I would say to others- book with care and be wary. Two days prior to departure Avis phoned us twice to request further information-driving license number etc , but at no point mentioned any extra charges. Similarly, upon pick up the Avis counter clerk made no mention of any extra charges . For what reason do I only discover this when checking my bank account? I am most dissatisfied with this particular car hire experience and I await a response and clarification from Avis and Auto Europe . "

" I have had to raise a case with Europcar. I paid you £170 and confirmed top insurance. At the airport i was told the car I had was too small. So I had to upgrade. I was then told I did not have top insurance. So I had to pay another £482. Now I am back in the UK I am now being charged another £86. The total for 3 days hire in total is now £738. This is no where near my original payment. I appreciate I paid Austria crossing and 2 additional drivers. However I feel I have been ripped off. If you can offer some assistance it would be greatly received. Even the man at Europcar Bristol said it seemed high when I raised the complaint. I'm not a happy customer at the minute. "

" Everything fine until the drop off at Munich Airport. There were no car rental staff in the immediate vicinity of where we'd parked - they were presumably further up the line, dealing with cars returned earlier. Like others, we left the car with the key to get to the check-in desk in good time. A few days ago, I got a report from Sixt by email with photos showing scratches on the vehicle's rear bumper. They requested a statement from us as to how these occurred. As we had no idea about these scratches - there were no collisions or bumps during the period we had the car, we disputed responsibility for causing them. Yesterday, I received an invoice from Sixt indicating that the car had been returned after 21:00, much later than the actual time of around 14:30 (our flight departed from Munich airport at 16:25). I suspect the car may have been taken out from where we parked it and returned later - only CCTV can confirm this. This issue has not been resolved and explains the mixed feedback re. the car rental. Nothing to do with Auto Europe, of course. "

" As soon as I left the car park at HH airport, the 'check tyre pressure' warning came on the dashboard. I called the service desk and was told to return the car to the drop-off area where the staff would be able to help me. I did this and the tyre pressure was sorted. However, by the time I arrived at my destination about 100km away, the same message was displayed on the dashboard. I contacted my local Avis/Budget branch and they told me to come in and change my car as I didn't feel comfortable driving with a car that clearly had a slow puncture. Ultimately though the staff at Avis Kiel was unable to help me as the system apparently would not allow him to change cars over as my car was registered as off road and not for rental since it had reached the end of its rental life. As it was Saturday there was no one we could call so I left it until my departure day (Monday) and called him again, only to be told that he didn't have any cars he could spare to go to Hamburg. I therefore had to risk the drive back with a tyre that was losing air, lost valuable time by having to revisit the various car hire places and to top it all, never received my rental contract via email as requested - it took another phone call to the Hamburg service desk to get this rectified. All on all a very disappointing experience which I shall not risk again by booking with Budget. "

" I experienced bad customer service at the time of collection and drop off At collection I was given keys and advised where car is parked. That's all. At drop off - when a white mark was spotted it was a suggested to report this to police. I spoke to police at airport who advised as the car was parked in a private car park during my stay no there was nothing they could do and they advised no damage caused by myself so not responsible for the white mark. The PC is happy to make a statement so is the landlord where car was parked for the duration of my stay. No comparison to customer. Poor service. "

" Auto Europe is a good company that I've been using for years. Europcar however, are nothing but charlatans. "
" 5yrs ago I hired from you and when I returned the vehicle I received an additional charge for an additional days hire saying I returned the vehicle late. However, I had taken pictures of the dashboard clearly showing the mileage and the time the vehicle was returned. The agency, Autoeurope agreed that the charge shouldn't have been made and refunded me the amount. 5 years on, Europcar decided that I still owed the money for late return and wouldn't allow me to take the vehicle I had booked and paid for without paying the historical charge AGAIN! Disgusting practice and I will never, ever use Europcar again. There was no one in charge at the rental desk and they needed to speak with a remote office.

" I am very happy with the Auto Europe side of my Car Hire Experience but I will be avoiding National the next time I need to hire a car. "
" The Guy at the desk was most helpful & had said about leaving the car back with a full tank of Fuel or they would have to charge for a Full tank, i have hired a car on numerous occasions & always returned it full, however due a number of traffic incidents around the Garmisch area & heavy traffic around Munich we were delayed in getting to the airport so on this occasion i had not any time to spare to fill the Vehicle with Fuel, this is obviously nothing to do with National, i understand that National must then charge for the Fuel, however i was most annoyed to find out that i was charged €139.55 to refill the car, it was still 1/4 full when i returned it, after a few emails (which to be fair were quickly responded to by National) that they charge €4.50/litre to fill the car and claim this is well signed at their Desk, i certainly did not see this at the desk nor was i informed that fuel would be charged at 3 times its normal price, this is completely extortionate, i just know how they can justify charging the fuel at this price, i think in future it would only be fair that it should be National Company policy to inform customers verbally the price they will charge for fuel if the car is not returned full.

" Hertz desk staff, although very nice and courteous, did not know how to deal with the documentaton from autoeurope therefore this process took longer than anticipated. I had checked-in with Hertz before arrival at the desk using the online ap but this did not help at all. I have used autoeurope once before in Germany, a number of years ago, which was much quicker and a far smoother. Was not happy at all with the condition of the vehicle they had allocated - full of scratches and dents, even the drivers seat had a large rip out of it. It was impossible to check the condition once I found the car due to the amount of damage on it. This was also a high mileage vehicle. Most definitely not worth the money paid. "

" Nothing wrong with the car – a Renault Megan. However, I did find the fact that so many small marks/scratches had been listed a pain to check before driving away. Just as well I took photographs all round the car otherwise I would have been facing a repair bill for one scratch that had not been listed. All of the scratches and marks were very minor. "
" At the airport, global rent customers were asked to go to the europecar desk. After a small weight I was looked after by a very efficient salesperson. The car she allocated to me had a lot of scratch marks listed on the rental sheet. This meant that when I reached the car I had a lot of checking to do, and in fact I took photographs all around the car as there was no representative of the rental company there to help. It was just as well that I did because on return of the car 10 days later the checker found a scratch which had not been listed on the rental sheet but fortunately I had a photograph of that same scratch at the time of pick up.

" The cost of care hire has increased considerably over the last two years (the time since my last journey). I will consider alternative options for the future. With a house in Austria, I usually travel over there via Munich several times a year. When I travel over with my family it has always been cheaper to drive the whole way myself. However, when travelling alone, it has been cheaper to fly. This time, however, it would have been cheaper for me to drive the whole way on my own than to fly and hire a car. "
" It is hard to write about Global Rent as having booked with Global, the actual dealings I had were with Europcar. The counter staff at Europcar were very helpful. However, I asked if I could pay the excess waiver (not wanting to incur a significant excess should any damage be caused to the car during the rental) but was told that this would not be needed as I would already have it with Global. I asked twice as I do not believe I had paid for it. As it happens, no damage was caused to the car but I would have been very unhappy had I been charged in such an eventuality. As for the car, there was a fair bit of superficial damage to the car, all of which was recorded on the Europcar documentation. However, the car was basic. "

" Whilst I accept it was my decision to have 850Euros excess, the way AutoEurope list the options of hire will always gravitate people to that type of agreement because they are the cheapest but certainly they are not the best. If you look at my example where I did not have insurance cover for the excess it therefore leaves you vulnerable to the kind of malpractice that I've experienced. AutoEurope should warn people very clearly about this potential danger when people elect such high excess. I would also like to point out that the extra cost of 100Euros which I had to pay at the desk for hiring a Satnav, already installed in the car, was extortionate and this is in my opinion should be added onto the initial quote on your website which would allow people at a glance to see the best car hire option. "
" The rental supplier was National at Munich Airport. Having presented the voucher at the desk we were directed to collect the car in a dark badly lit garage where it was virtually impossible to see the condition of the body work of the car. Despite never being advised to do so by the representative on the National desk my wife and I nevertheless tried to examine the car and did not see any scratches or dents. No member of the National staff was in the garage to hand over the car but we eventually found a man cleaning a car who checked to see that the Sat Nav was set to English. On returning the car it was examined by a lady working for a company who are allegedly independent to National. She found a small dent (no more than 1.5 cms) on the drivers and some very faint scratches on the front passengers door. She did highlight that the alloy wheel scratches were on the car before we picked it up. We can't be sure whether the dent and scratches were on the car before we picked it up but what concerns us is that we were told by an employee of National that staff of the company who receive the cars are on commission if they find damage. I had an Excess clause of 850 Euros and later that day I received a payment notification by my charge card company that a 950 Euros transaction had gone through from National without any prior notification. The next morning we spoke to Daniel a National manager at Munich airport who is responsible for overseeing such claims. Upon showing him our voucher he admitted that a mistake had been made and agreed a refund of 100 Euros would be made.. This refund payment was not made immediately and so I had to chase it up some days later but I when I saw the billing of the works it showed that a 20Euro handling charge had been deducted from the 100Euro refund that I was due!! I immediately notified the National manager who initially dismissed my claim for the additional 20Euros saying it was a legitimate handling fee. However this was subsequently corrected without my knowledge and I had a full refund of 100Euros. When we spoke to Daniel the manager the morning after we had returned the car we let him know of our concerns that we were not in control of the costs of the repairs having already been billed for the excess. He reassured us that the repairs are done in house by National and the cost of repairs would be kept to a minimum and would be proportionate to what was required for the repair work. This subsequently did not prove to be the case because the itemised costing in German forwarded to me showed showed that the cost of repair was 1915Euros!! This costing, in my opinion, is totally fabricated and it should have been significantly less for what was minimal damage. It has all the indications that National had no intention of returning any part of the 850 Euros excess to me whilst also taking into account that the company who initially received the car on its return are paid commission for finding damage to cars.

I insisted I needed my car so the person reluctantly let me in and processed my booking with lots of bad attitude and borderline rude.

" Car was not available on the agreed time. Had to wait for 1hr as no cars were available. Initial customer service person was extremely blasé about this and didn't give details on when/why the car was not there and wanted us to leave with contact details. This was totally unacceptable. The manager followed up and explained the shortfall and asked us to come in 1hr by which time a car had arrived. Very bad initial communication. "

" Standard procedures all fine. We decided part way through the trip to make a day trip outside Germany, to the Czech Republic: I tried to add cross-border cover over the phone, but was told I would have to return to the rental station to add it - it would have been much more convenient if this could have been done remotely, and in the end we took the train to the Czech Republic, as it would have been silly to travel back to the airport to add the cover for one day.

" It could have been a great experience but got shadowed because of this guy. Really disappointed by the greed of people these days... "
" First thing the staff from sixt told me was I don't have a full insurance and I should get one. Replying that from what I know, my booking includes everything, he said he can't see anything in the system and insisted I need the full insurance for tyres, windows and something else...for 29€/day. The good news was I was supposed tonget un upgrade to X3 because the Evoque wasn't available anyway. I agreed and went to get the car. In the car I found my booking with autoeurope and came back to Sixt. Tried to talk with the same guy and showed him my insurance. He replied I didn't show him that and I asked for the extra insurance. I got pissed...already spending almost 1h of my holiday in there. He asked me to wait because there was another customer waiting. Waited for 5 min and he left on his break. I asked for the manager... A nice guy who decided I will get back the extra payment plus the deposit; and I kept the X3 which was great. "

" The AutoEurope booking experience was good, but I am unhappy with the overall cost once Hertz add on the unexpected extras. "
" The invoice I received from Hertz following the rental period included additional unexpected costs. The only additional costs should have been snow-chains (EUR40), an additional driver and the cross border fee, but there are further additional unexpected costs (possibly extra CDW and theft protection, which I already had covered with the AutoEurope contract, but it is hard to work out what was included in the voucher and what Hertz are showing in the full breakdown - could also be vehicle upgrade cost which we didn't request). From experience, this is generally impossible to resolve and highly time consuming. "

" Despite having booked Ford Fiesta class, the Hertz counter staff tried to give me a Fiat 500 explaining Hertz' classification of cars is different. After discussion he first said he hadn't any cars in the higher class as they didn't know I booked one in that class. But then he changed the car. On return of the car, they first tried to blame me for a broken antenna, which I hadn't damaged. Luckily I always take photos when taking over the car. In hindsight it looks like I was given a car that wasn't properly checked and had lots of tiny damages. I hire cars at Hamburg airport on a regular basis, but haven't had such an experience before. "

" We've used auto europe to hire cars before and only had to pay for the additional driver at the location in addition to the amount paid to auto europe. Last time we hired a car from Munich, this was the case, but with a different provider (Alamo), not Europcar. we were invoiced for 810.75 euros at the end of the trip and only 50 euros related to the additional driver. The amount we had already paid through auto europe only covered 446.42 euros so we had a big additional bill to pay on top of what we had paid. I don't know what all the extra surcharges were for as the invoice isn't clear - apart form the additional driver which we had expected to pay extra for. "

" I was originally allocated a Dacia, which had the be swapped before leaving the airport as the boot wouldn't open. I was reallocated as Peugeot 308 Estate which was fine. I had a very unsatisfactory issue on returning the car when an over zealous check inoperative tried to charge me for a scratch on the rear offside wheel arch that was barely 1 cm in length. Harsh words were exchanged because: 1. It was well inside the permitted size of a scratch 2. The car had been driven straight to a private house with no stops and parked in isolation on a huge drive. after that the car was again driven to a private car park and left in isolation for week before return to the private house;in both those case the car was driven non stop so it was impossible that the vehicle had been scratched during may rental. The operative quickly backed off, saying he wouldn't report it, which I found quite patronising because he was acting outside of his remit and trying to rip me off. Not happy sums up my feelings. I can supply photos if required. I have another booking with Global and Munich Airport on 29 Feb and I will he raising this issue directly with them at the collection desk "

" At the end of the hire when I was charged an additional Eur 20 for hiring the car from Munich Airport. I cannot understand why this wasnt in the headline price from Avis and Auto Europe as I asked for the rental to be collected from and returned to Munich Airport. If this is my booking why would you understate the hire charge to get my custom and then add this fee at the end of the rental? During the booking and the collection process, this charge was not mentioned once. I have another hire in a month via Auto Europe / Avis at Munich and in advance of that would like a response on this charge, why it was levied and if my next hire will be subject to the same additional charge. "
" Avis experience was poor. Check in was very slow, Avis had two staff on and a queue of 8-10 people waiting to collect vehicles. They were taking 15-20mins to process each rental with a long and tedious upsales process which delayed and infuriated all in the queue. When I finally got the front I then had to ensure the same including trying to upsell me GPS (the car had GPS fitted as standard). This is so outdated a practice it is laughable, Avis are just embarrassing their desk staff by forcing this process. The worst element came at the end of the hire when I was charged an additional Eur 20 for hiring the car from Munich Airport.

She offered me a Volvo XC 60, an Alfa Romeo, and a BMW estate, but I would have to pay significantly extra money. I refused. After another 10 minutes, she eventually found me a car. I declined insurance, as I had an annual policy with 'Insurance for car hire'. She asked how much I had paid, and when I said £50, she said this wasn't possible, and that it wasn't proper insurance! She insisted I couldn't be insured! After another 10 minutes of argument, she said I needed snow chains because I was going to a ski resort in Austria! I said I had been skiing many times in Austria to this resort, and that I didn't. We spent another 5 minutes arguing about this. She then said I needed Sat Nav. Again I said I didn't, and another few minutes were wasted arguing about this. She then said we had paid far too little for the car hire!

There were a few scratches on the car, but we highlighted these to the garage attendant and he marked these on the paperwork appropriately, so no concerns with this. I would have liked for the taxes to have been explained to me without having to ask - we paid for an extra driver & to to take the car out of Germany in to Austria, but this 62 euro became 93 euro - I had to ask to get this explained to me - I should not have had to ask.

We were first offered an S Max but thankfully when we got to the car park the car had not been cleaned and prepared and the attendant sent us back to the desk.

I had to believe that because no alternative. But too be honest. no way that the last VW Up type car is booked at 7pm at Munich airport. and obviously I had to pay an extra 30 Euros for one day. my fault to be late, but very disappointing.

Having returned the car with correct tyre pressures and a full tank of petroleum and a handful emails this is the first response to my over paid rental nightmare.

From the initial service, to cost to the car itself, 2,000km on the clock it was a fantastic experience. full marks to your counter staff at the airport and full marks for providing such a wonderful car at a very reasonable price, it added to the enjoyment of our trip.

" Everything was good. Car condition, counter service at Frankfurt Airport and Dresden Airport was very friendly. But adBlue is not commonly used in some countries like in Thailand so it was our new experience to know and to use it. I bought a canister when the car console showed engine stop in 600 Kms if not fill in the adBlue. But not sure whether the right product so I drove to Hertz Dresden Airport to help. I was satisfied with the service. Should let customers know this adBlue before taking the car and who will be responsible for the cost. My case I paid for 15Euros for a canister. "

Eventually, I was offered a Jeep with winter tyres. The handling & fuel efficiency of the Jeep was poor but it did make it back to Munich airport.

" Thank you over all a very good experience. Particularly the car return at Munich airport was exeptionally well organised. "
" I was a little disappointed with the cross border fee. I hired the car for two days but only traveled to Austria for 6 hours. The company wanted to charge me cross border fees for the whole rental. Eventually I was able to find a compromise. But it was on a exceptional basis. It would be much better particularly in border regions for customers to determine the days on which they want to travel cross border and only charge the cross border fee on those days. This is different from a car seat or snow chains. Those will have to be paid for the whole rental as they will stay with the car. "

" I called Autoeurope to complain and ask for a refund as we did not want to use this rental company anymore, they said nothing could be done until after the rental period which would mean we wouldn't know if we could get a refund. This meant that we had to stick with global rent a car which was something we did not want to do. Although it was easy to reach their helpline, Auto Europe did not help at all to try to rectify the situation at the time when it was needed. Auto Europe also did not provide a confirmation email with the terms and conditions for car rental, which if we had had would have prevented this situation from occurring. "
" I called the global rent 3 hours before I was to collect my car, saying I hadn't received a confirmation email and asking if everything was in order with the booking and if there was anything I should be aware of. They said everything is fine and just to come along and collect the car. Upon arriving we were told that we had to have a passport to collect the car, a term which we had not been made aware of by global rent due to zero communication on their end. We asked to see the terms and conditions and asked how we could have known beforehand, at which point we were shown a small print poster in German a literal crevasse in the corner of the office. We then asked for the terms in English, which they had to then specially find and print out for us as it was not readily available even for the staff. These terms stated that a passport OR an identity card was required to pick up the car. We had an identity card but they still insisted on a passport despite the fact that this was not in the terms and conditions and that the terms and conditions had never been provided to us despite the phone call we had. We had travelled over 2 hours on public transport with a disabled 80 year old to reach the car rental, on our way to visit her extremely sick husband. The employees could see this and her distress and instead insisted on complying to a policy that was not even detailed in their terms and conditions, and which was impossible to access for non-German speakers or anyone who had not yet been in the office. As a result we lost a day with our sick family member, 4 hours in travel (there and back), travel fees there and back, the fee of the car rental for that day and created a lot of unnecessary stress. This is unacceptable and I would like a refund for the car for the day of rental I was denied to use. "

" Our flight was delayed. We arrived at the pick up desk at 00:01, 1 minute after the closing time. We were charged a late fee. We tried to ring the rental company at 23.30 to 23.50 but they did not pick up the phone anymore. Although we accept that we were late and that this incurs a charge, we find the full charge for being 1 minute late quite extortionate (EUR 69.88). However what we really are upset about and find objectionable is that the whole pick up situation was rushed and under pressure by the staff member who wanted to leave, even though we paid for the late pick up situation. We only realised that a whole range of extra charges were levied to which we did not consent when the staff member verbally ran through them. However, they appear on our bill. We feel that the situation was exploited by the member of staff to add nearly EUR 200 extra to our rental charges. The communication was misleading and we were rushed through the process: - we verbally declined extra insurance (we literally told the agent 'we take the risk' as we hold a policy with a separate provider, Carhireexcess Insurance); nevertheless it was added to our rental (excess and theft) (charged EUR 60 and EUR 30 respectively). - we were told we would get upgraded free of charge, but a charge of EUR 49 was added to our bill. - we were also charged a registration fee of EUR 9. We did not expect any extras other than a cross-border fee, in addition to what we had paid with autoeurope. As such we are extremely dissatisfied and feel we have been treated dishonestly by the staff member. "

" 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. "

I complained and was advised that this was the only car available. I rent cars a lot in my business and can honestly say this was the worst condition I have seen. The car also had scratches and marks- surely you would fix these if you have charged the customer who caused the damage? Tyre pressure indicators said that pressure was low (again on collection before I even drove it away). I checked in the nearest garage and it wasn't, probably a faulty sensor but why wasn't this picked up by Thrifty? I also had to pay additional charges at the desk, including eur45 for taking the car over the border into Austria. The desk staff said this was your fee, not Thrifty's.

" Counter staff on pick up made patronising comments about my choice of car. Suggesting I had chosen small car. When the car was for one person. Then gave inappropriate advice on why I should upgrade to a diesel model due to the mileage he presumed I would use, without taking into account the length of hire period. My calculation was that this was not beneficial to me and on declining this option the counter staff suggested I was making the wrong choice. As a professional mature woman who is accustomed to travelling alone and with sound decision making skills, I found the young mans attitude patronising and bordering on being sexist.

" The experience of picking the car up was absolutely horrendous. We sat on the airport floor for 3.5 hours after being told it was only a half an hour wait. No one was given any information about why there was such a delay and staff were dismissive and rude. When we eventually got to the desk, the woman working did not even apologise for the delay or wait time and when we questioned her as to why and asked if there was somewhere we could file a complaint, she shrugged her shoulders and said 'go ahead and complain but it's Saturday, no one wants to work on a Saturday, it's always like this'. She was so unbelievably rude and dismissive it is some of the worst customer service I have ever been confronted by! We were not given any information about how to complain other than being told we can write a letter to head office but it's unlikely to even get looked at. The woman then gave us a parking location of the car which did not exist leading to us walking around the car park for another 30minutes looking for the car as there were absolutely no Europcar staff in the parking garage! Worst hire car service I have ever received! "
" The pick up process and customer servicec which we recieved from Europcars at Munich airport was attrocious (see below) but the overall value and state of the car was fantastic, and the staff at the drop off on the way back were efficient, friendly and helpful which slightly made up for the way we were treated and the inefficiency of the staff on the way out!

" As a regular user of AutoEurope, I've always been happy with the service provided. As a regular user of Alamo/Enterprise, I've always been happy but the turnaround between the car being dropped off and going back out is far too quick meaning that the essentials are not checked and the car is not always cleaned properly. This applies to most car hire companies and not just Alamo/Enterprise. "
" Staff and pick up and drop off very friendly and efficient. Car had not been checked before rental. Within 4 days, the engine warning light had come on due to a low oil level which was soon followed by no screen wash with a combined cost of 25 € to replenish. "

" Despite having cover with Auto Europe and private car rental insurance they still requested a 1000 euro bond on a credit card which I did not have available. I then had to pay nearly 400 euros to waiver the deposit. Tried their best to help. Upgraded vehicle as an apology but the new vehicle didn't suit our needs. Overall this rental cost me more than 1000 euros excluding the deopsit. I can get the same deal with Hertz for 580 euros excluding deposit "

" So delayed and not in a position to call. Arrived at airport and closed. Told to go to terminal 1 closed. No phone numbers that worked. Single lone female traveller in almost empty airport with no assistance available told till wait to 6am 5.30 hrs wait. Called up the next day to cxl the rest of the booking as had to be collected from the airport and couldn't get back to be told I could not cxl a part booking. Total waste of money and unbelievably poor service. Arrive at a major airport to find no way of collecting your vehicle. What a joke. "

" I think Dollar should carefully rethink using this Hertz franchise as a front - they are truly awful. I arrived to be told there was no car ready but I should be grateful as the two groups in the queue had been waiting three hours. They just couldn't care less. No apology, no excuse. It's a tiny airport and it took 90 minutes to get a car. On the return they couldn't have shown more apathy. Do you want to inspect the car? No. Er, do you want to check the fuel levels? No. Just leave the key on the desk. Fine, I went and videoed the car anyway and took a photo of the fuel level. "

" All good using Auto Europe as stated above very unhappy with Buchbinder Car Rental. "
" 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. "

Being unprepared for this, I made a number of mistakes buing additional insurance and service. Hertz offered me additional services and insurance which were written in German and in small print using symbols and codes, which did not know before. It is really sad that respected car rental company uses such tricks. I also got an automatic car, though I requested a manual one. "

" Overall I've had vg experiences with Auto Europe and previous rentals with Buchbinder - so it's a sham they've let me down, so far, on cost of car wash when car presented at beginning of hire - dirty externally! "
" On arrival at Frankfurt AP Buchbinder desk - only 2 agents so took good 10 mins wait before being seen. Was offered a car - inside cleaned ok but exterior not washed/dirty. Would have to wait 30 mins for cleaning or take it now. I had no time so they agreed to pay an auto wash if I used one on production of receipt - which I gave them on vehicle return. Cost approx €13. Still not paid - since 9th July. Dispute in hand with Auto Europe. "

" had ongoing problems due to adblue warnings which Hertz could not solve. We eventually had to to abandon the vehicle (with Hertz's knowledge) and take public transport which for a party with 2 children and 1 baby was incredibly stressful. The experience with this vehicle (which Hertz had several chances to resolve) proved a nightmare for our family which very nearly ruined 6 months of training for an Ironman race and thousands of pounds spent on the trip. I cannot state enough how stressful the experience was surrounding the hire of this vehicle and at no stage (3 or 4 contacts) were Hertz able to provide a satisfactory solution. "

" Very satisfied with the service of the staff at Memmingen. I usually vacuum and clean the car before returning it. This time I only had time to vacuum the inside and not clean the outside. I felt pretty bad about this as I always try to bring it back in the same clean state as I picked up. I tried to explain this to the member of staff when I dropped off the car. The member of staff who checked the car was incredibly polite about this and explained that I really did not need to do this and thanked me at least cleaning the inside. This made me feel less guilty about not cleaing the outside of the car as I usually would. Thank you to the staff at Memmingen. "
" I have used autoeurope many times and usually pick up and drop off at Memmingen, to visit my children in Bavaria. The staff are always helpful and friendly and I have never been disappointed with the service or the cars provided. I have not always used Hertz specifically, but this time I used Hertz because the first booking I made (I think it was with Keddy) would not accept my debit card as a form of payment. Other than the great service and cars supplied, I shall choose Hertz cars in the future because of the acceptance of my debit card as a form of payment. "

" Auto Europe have always given me good deals on rental cars. I guess over the past 5 years I have rented cars through you for a total of 12-15 weeks a year. Hopefully, my faith in you will not be shaken - and you will get the money back from Interrent that I should not have had to pay out! "
" I phoned Auto Europe, then directly to Interrent, while sitting on an Easyjet flight that was delayed. (I have screen-shots of the call timings from my phone as evidence) The lady at Interrent took all the details, said she would log them with Interrent at Munich Airport and "don't worry, your car will be there when you arrive". When I got to the desk at the Airport, she had put nothing on the system - so my car had gone to someone else. The cheapest car they had available meant an extra €198, which I had no choice but to pay. When I spoke to the guy at the desk I told him I was going through Austria to Italy. I therefore assumed that he had covered all of the requirements for doing that trip. We were pulled over by Austrian police because the vehicle didn't have the mandatory sticker for use in Austria! (Maybe the vehicle we had booked had one?) The fine was €120. Aside from these costs, the whole process of checking the car out took maybe 15 minutes longer than it should have done. "

" Firstly we had real issues finding the collection point for the car ad Frankfurt airport is massive. However after 25 minutes of walking with all our luggage, we came across what we thought was the collection point, it was in fact Terminal 1 pickup. The operator on the desk was less than helpful with our current situation. We were a party of 5, one of them was a 15 month old. He suggested I did the paperwork with him then go across to terminal 2 to collect the vehicle, transit time & collection would be 2+ hours. The car being offered (A Ford Courier Kombi) was not the one we requested (A Ford Mondeo Estate), when I questioned this, I was told this was an upgrade, so basically think yourself lucky. I explained we has a ton of luggage which was why we requested and estate car, 'Well we have none' was his reply. However we do have a Ford Edge at Terminal 1, if you want that for €50/day extra, it will also save you the extended time to go across to terminal 2. His attitude and business ethics were questionable at best, he gave us no alternative but to accept the Ford Edge and kept quoting how difficult it would be to get any cars from other dealers as it was late in the day. In the end, in the interests of everyone's sanity I was left no alternative but to pay the extra for the Ford Edge. An issue I will be taking up with Santander. "

" Overall my experience was positive - particularly pleased with the vehicle I received. Also pleased that the counter staff did not try and upsell other products including any additional insurance! I switched from Avis with whom I had an unsatisfactory experience last October 2018 - persuading me upon pick up from MUC airport, that " the fuel up front option would be the best". I believed I would only be charged for the fuel I used but in fact this option means you are charged a fixed amount rather than variable depending on actual amount of petrol used? "

" Our flight was delayed due to air traffic control strikes in France, like pretty much every other flight arriving in Munich that day. Our flight was only 1hr late but we were told our car had been given away because we were late and now had to pay for an upgrade. This felt like a complete con and money making venture. Collecting the car there were 100s of Buchbinder cars there so I seriously doubt the only available option was an upgrade. Infant car seat was dirty and of poor quality. Trying to find someone to collect a car seat from took over an hour. I was completely disgusted with the service and will never be using interrent, auto europe or Buchbinder again. "

" The Auto Europe part was much easier than actually picking the car up! However, more clarity on cross-border fees would be good.

Since it can vary considerably between rental companies it would be better if it was clearer. "
" Finding the location at Frankfurt Airport Terminal 1 was very unclear - it took me a long time to find it. When I arrived, the counter was shared by Alamo, Enterprise and ?National and it was very unclear where to queue. Too much upselling - the clerk tried to sell me a bigger vehicle which I didn't want, plus a sat nav that was already in the car. I was also offered to pre-pay for a full tank of diesel, which was a clear attempt at making money out of me as it's almost impossible to return a car completely empty. It also wasn't possible for me to pay the cross-border fee on my debit card and then the deposit on my credit card. I really don't understand why this had to be a single transaction and it was really inconvenient as I don't use my credit card normally. Finally, I booked a group A car and was given group C. I specifically wanted a SMALL vehicle and feel like Alamo had enough notice to get one in place at a huge airport location. "

" Some experiences that I would like to share. 1. Collecting the car does take a long time. There is always a queue for the counter staff and sometimes we have to wait as long as 1/2 an hour if the persons in front have not pre-booked. Perhaps a designated queue for people who have gone to the trouble of pre-booking should be looked into. 2. Globalrent/Buchbinder have their own app but it doesn't work if I book through Auto Europe. Perhaps a closer link would be better? 3. On this occasion there were small dings/scratches on the vehicle that were not pre-marked on the 'Check Out Report'. I got them recorded prior to leaving the garage but it is an extra hassle when you just want to get away. "

" Compared to most of our experiences in picking up rental cars at airports, our pick up and return at cologne- Bonn airport was a nightmare. Despite the fact that we had reserved a GPS at the time of our booking, we were told at the counter that there would be a delay while it was mounted. As we were a little early, we were not bothered by this. The directions from the service counter were vague, and as there were no sidewalks that lead down into the garage, we had to take an elevator down And then search for 20 minutes before we found the small office in the garage, only to discover that we would have to wait additionally for the car to arrive. It was the return of the car, however, that was the most frustrating. We entered the underground parking lot for rental car return and followed the signs for enterprise/ Alamo. After pulling into the queue, And waiting 10 minutes, we were instructed that we were in the wrong section. Believing that we had misunderstood the remarks, we found the office and asked why we were in the wrong section. We were then told, "well, the signs are incorrect." There is no sign informing potential returnees that the "enterprise/Alamo" signs are incorrect . "

" 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. "

" On hiring the car the counter staff member tried to sell me a sat nav device for addtional cost, despite the vehicle i had hired having one fitted in the infotainment system. I declined the offer of hire, but dont think I should have been even asked the question when Avis knew that I didnt need one. Despite advised on the booking and at the desk that I was taking the vehicle to Austria I was not advised that Austria operates a motorway vignette system, which would have been easy and very helpful. we were stopped by a police checkpoint just after the border clearly set up to check for this as people enter Austria and were fined Eur120 by the Austrian police. This was very frustrating and could have been avoided. Car and service efficiency were great. "

" Globalrent said that we'd have received better service & a better car if we'd booked with them direct & not through AutoEurope. Obviously I don't know whether this is true. I hope it isn't & my score reflects this. "
" I got the impression that they were trying to make us 'trade up'. After arriving at the counter to be told that they had a Golf or Focus for us we had a disappointment when, after a lengthy check, they said they'd no Golf and 2 Focuses - both of which were Estates & required an additional charge per day. We refused this and ended up with a Skoda Rapide. This car had many more scratches than they'd documented. We had to spend time getting these documented as I was worried about incurring an excess charge when we returned it. When I complained about the overall service they said it would have been better booking with them direct! Overall a stressful experience especially after a flight when we were tired. "

I called Auto Europe and they said that there was a place on the order form online to show if you wanted to take the car into another country. But I explained that their T&C's should also say something along the lines of: If you take the car into another country a Cross Border charge may be levied at the pick location rental desk, The advisor spoke to said he would pass this up to his supervisor "

" On arrival, the counter staff at Berlin airport advised us that a car of the size we booked was not available and instead of offering us a reasonable alternative at no extra cost, they tried to upsell us ( even though we had received a confirmed reservation). We politely refused to pay extra, so they gave us a very small car which barely fit the infant seat. This car incurred the same cost as the car we had booked .. even though they had advised us our category car was not available. The infant seat was of poor quality and we had to carry it to the car ourselves, instead of it being already in the car. There was no one available to help instal the infant seat. When we returned the car during normal business hours, there was no one there to take it back. We were then charged a late return fee. We were also charged for the infant seat even though we were not told it would incur a charge by counter staff. I have called Avis and we will have those charges refunded but it all seems to little too late. A terrible experience overall! "

I noticed 2 scratches & when I reported to the rep in the car park he asked to drive to a better lit area & then he identified many, many more little scratches & marks. I can not help but feel they are out to get car renters particularly when they booked via Autoeurope as excess often is included in price or as many people like me have an excess insurance.

However, when picking up the car and needing a booster seat for the safety of a child there is no other option but to pay the exorbitant cost. This leaves a feeling of being ripped off.

" It will depend whether my compliant is acted upon and whether the excess damage policy I took out with Auto Europe promptly refunds this cost. "
" We booked a Ford Eco Sport and reccieved a Skoda Fabia on Slovakian plates which smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. There was no one from Interrent in the car park and the queue for the desk back in main building was 2hrs long and so we accepted this because our three year old was crying and we had already spent 3.5 hrs to clear airport. On return of the car, there was no mention of damage and we did not have any incidents at all. Then we receive an invoice for €890 for a scratch we did not cause that arrived nearly 4 days after drop off. They have already debited my credit card. I am so appalled by this company that I will probably never use autoeurope again because your partners are clearly rogues that prey on customers such as me. This damage was not caused by me, was not mentioned at the time of the return of the vehicle and is blatant fraud. The vehicle was an old Skoda from Slovakia (why when I am hiring in Munich?) with over 30000 jams on clock. I think the damage invoice is probably for more than the car is worth. If there was damage then why didn't the person checking in the car mention it - in fact he said it was fine. This is blatant fraud and I expect you to investigate this. "

" No issues with Auto Europe, but deeply unhappy with Global/Buchbinder return and sigh off procedure, which was lamentable on the night in question. "
" We returned the vehicle to car rental return area at Munich Airport at 8.30 pm, 17 Feb . We were inside our 7 day rental limit by about 40 minutes. On arrival there was no representative from Global/Buchbinder to inspect the vehicle, sign off, give us a clean bill of health and associated receipt. We waited 30 minutes and no one arrived. Furthermore the general supervisor was rude, ignorant and offered no assistance suffice to safe it could take another 30-40 minutes. In the end i had no choice but to leave the keys on the dash board an check in around 9.00pm bearing mind we were boarding LH2504 at 9.45 pm and had to clear security, passport control etc. Whilst I anticipate there will be no issues I do feel vulnerable to mistreatment and without a receipt my concerns are that i have no control over what happens next, as they may: 1. Seek to charge for a late delivery if they don't get to the vehicle by shortly after 9.00 pm 2. Charge me for a spurious damage claim, when the vehicle was returned in the same condition as at the start of the rental - I have photographic evidence showing the condition of the vehicle on return 3. Charge me for fuel, when we filled the the vehicle to full at the AGIP petrol station on the airport i have used Global twice this year and we had a similar experience in January but managed to get the vehicle checked and signed off on that occasion after a 20 minute wait. The bottom line is that they need to do better. i have a further booking with them on 2 March and if the the return is as bad as last rtime i will not be using them again. "

" I booked a Golf. Got given a Jeep Renegade. They said it was a similar car. 25mpg instead of 50mpg. Cruising speed of 70mph on the autobahn in Germany as opposed to 100mph. There is no way in this world that they are a similar car. For my next trip I have gone with a different rental company. I rent cars at least once a month and I very rarely get what I book when using Enterprise/Alamo. "

" I have had AutoEurope bookings previously without incident. Maybe this is just Cologne Bonn airport but this has now been two weeks in a row. I am thinking that AutoEurope in general are fine until something goes wrong. For me though the handling of issues is the art of good customer service. "
" My flight was delayed by 75 minutes. In this time Alamo had given my car to someone else. When I got to the desk the customer service agent said it would take 60 minutes plus to get a vehicle from another office. I rang AutoEurope who advised that this policy for late arrivals is detailed in the voucher...it isn't. Looking at Alamo's web site it says they will hold the car for 12 hours. AutoEurope offered to cancel my booking and rebook with another provider at a cost of an additional £100 and a wait time of 2 hours until the booking got to the hire company. So his best solution was to wait for longer and pay more money than the solution the hire company offered. No thanks, this offer was worse than useless. "

" The collection process takes way too long. The US model is a good one, in which the keys are essentially waiting. It takes seconds. With this. it's as though I hadn't made a booking in advance. Lots of typing, scratching of chin, etc. Eventually it worked just fine, but took 20 minutes instead of the 2 that it should have taken. It MAY be just a Germany thing because Germany is in the dark-ages with eCommerce. Drop-off was excellent - technology-driven, took seconds, etc. Exactly as the collection should be. And yes, I get that ID and driving licence needs to be checked, but that's about it. "

" the car was in poor condition. picked up in pouring rain in poor light, which did not allow proper inspection. Vehicle was in poor condition, scratches and bumps on it. On return, it was inspected in a well lit area inside, and told it was scratched - this was very unsatisfactory as it was not able to properly inspect on collection. Despite not being happy with this, have now been charged £329.00 for damage to what was already a car in poor body condition. This felt like a scam to obtain money unfairly and it will be followed up and a complaint will be filed for it. "

" Car was nice, lady on reception was nice. Initial insurance request of 250 euros was a joke and quickly an offer of 80 euros made. Very quick inspection of car and small marks were not recorded as "too small" by the agent. On return the car was inspected with a torch and a scratch only visible if you laid on the floor was found. As the odometer proved we had driven the car from the airport to our house and back again, at no point could the damage have been caused by us. It took lots of discussion before eventually it was agreed that the mark was there when we first took the car. Overall felt like we were being conned and wont use your service again. The lady dealing with us was only doing her job but i suggest if the inspection when returning the car is so thorough then the inspection when taking the car should be to the same standard. "

" Ultimately it was OK because we got a car, despite the wait, but had we had to wait several hours then I would have been very angry. The wait was not ideal but didn't impact on us too much on this occasion. I would however suggest that Buchbinder make sure that they don't overbook in future, or put stronger controls in place to prevent people from bringing cars back later than the contractual drop off time. "
" When we arrived at the counter, we were told that there were no cars available. I queried how this could be considering that we had booked and paid in advance. The man on the desk explained that it was a busy time, and several people had returned cars late so they simply had none available. We therefore had no choice but to wait for about an hour and a half until a car had been brought back and prepared for us. On the plus side however we got a higher category car than the one we ordered (because that was the only one available - so presumably whoever had requested the car we eventually got may have got a lesser standard vehicle), so at least despite the wait we ended up with a nice, well equipped car. The gentleman on the desk was very apologetic, but all the same it is not acceptable and the company should clearly have stricter controls in place to ensure that they are not left without any cars in stock.

" If the form had said why it needed a flight number on it I would have entered it. I'm afraid this has soured my experience with Auto Europe. "
" I arrived late at the desk due to a flight delay and was told that because I was late and had not put my flight number on the original booking form I had to take a bigger, luxury car at an increased rate. Whilst the car was lovely it was far more than I needed and more money than I had agreed to pay but I was told I could not have my previous payment securing a car back so I had no choice but to pay it. It double the price I had originally agreed to pay and left me very unhappy! "

" 1000 Euro deposit is not mentioned until pick up. Upon collection there is no mention about inspecting the car for damage, I inspected the car and found 2 scratches and when I asked the guy to verify them he was reluctant to verify them so I refused to take the car until he did, glad I insisted on this as when I returned the car the guy inspected it very closely and seemed happy he found the two scratches until I produced the paperwork showing them, overheard a guy complaining about being charged for a scratch that he said was already there.....

" As always, the staff were excellent; helpful, quick, efficient and friendly. My only minor negative is that I found having someone show me to and around the car was a waste of my time, I need to get the car and get on with my travel and really do not need to be shown the car. This is not a reflection on the man who did that job, he was very polite and trying to be helpful, I just think it's a pointless function that I personally don't want. That said, I frequently travel to SXF and Alamo is always my preferred rental agency, which I thoroughly recommend. "

" Where the car was pick up was very poor lighting causing me to miss reporting damage below the front bumper. When I return hire I report the damage to which i am now being held accountable for, i have 3 witness in the car to confirm damage was not cause by me, also my driving was all motorway driving and who ever was driving when this damage occurred would have known. I ask for cameras to be checked as this will prove damage was present before i lifted car. I was told i had cause the damage which i know i did not. I feel this is a money racked and no doubt many customers will be charged for this damage as who ever had check the car before me had NOT recorded this damage. I have not a problem paying for damage i have done but will not pay for damaged done by someone else. Regards David "

" As mentioned above, there were good points about the hire company. However , there need to be better inspection procedures put in place for scratches and bumps and customers should feel free to provide their own additional insurance following the guidelines set out by a reputable company as we did. "
" I was told by the counter staff that the car had no marks on it. I was also told that I had to have their additional insurance against scratches and bumps etc. I appreciate that the counter staff were following a script which they had to follow. But we followed the marrtinlewismoneysavingexpert. com guidelines and taken out additional insurance ourselves. When I inspected the car, it had many scratches on it. I did this inspection with a member of staff from the hire company who verified the scratches and bumps and who marked them down on the documentation. We had to use a torch light and then move to a different location which had better lighting to double check. The car needed to be inspected by me. It should have been inspected by a member of staff beforehand. If I hadn't, I could have been made responsible for damage caused by a previous customer. I wasn't happy with this. The car drove well and was mechanically sound and the price was good. The staff were pleasant and well mannered. However, there need to be better inspection procedures put in place. And customers should feel free to provide their own additional insurance following the guidelines set out by a reputable company as we did. "

" Totally poor customer service "
" This has got to be one of the worst experiences I have encountered in a very long time. I booked a car on-line with yourselves on the 7th of Sept., I opted for an upgrade and additional insurance cover. I was advised by a friend to check if payment needed to be by credit card (I was not made aware of this during the booking process) I called your booking office that evening to clarify and was asked to wait while the lady asked for clarification. When eventually I was told a credit card would be required I asked to cancel. I was told I would be charged 100 Pounds! I decided to wait until I got to the booking desk. This call took almost 24 minutes!! When I arrived at Munich Airport I got in a very big queue at your booking desk... There appeared to be very few staff at the desk which was surprising as most people had pre-booked so you would have known how many customers would be arriving and what time they wanted to pick up their cars... 1.5 hours later I was still in a queue, eventually when I got to the desk I was advised that the lack of a credit card was not a problem as I could upgrade the insurance. I was quoted an extortionate fee on top of what I had already paid and when I questioned it the lady at the desk got quite rude. At this stage I had been waiting 1 hour 53 minutes. I decided not to proceed and within 30 minutes I had a car from another rental company for a combined fee less than what your company wanted to charge for insurance alone!! After all this you still had the cheek to charge me for car hire which I never had!! "

" I did not enjoy the experience when I went to collect the car at the airport: 1 The queueing system was not obvious - I was told to get back into a central queue when I lined up at one of the desks - it came across as rude, but not a big issue 2 I was then given the hard sell on additional insurance. Because the woman at the desk did not speak good English, it was difficult to understand but very annoying. OK to give me options, not ok to tell me that I have inadequate insurance. 3 The tyre pressures were low on all 4 tyres of the car. This was addressed without issue because I spotted the issue before we left the car park, but it caused unnecessary delay. "

" If we order a car, it needs to be a similar version in most respects. Alamo Berlin didn't seem to be too aware of your contract details given the questions they asked despite being given details via your booking. They also asked about various insurances (a typical rental trick to create uncertainty and extra sales), although I am sure I covered all aspects via your contract and personal excess insurance. The rental process went reasonably smoothly otherwise. Just annoying to have such uncertainty and wide variance in vehicle type at point of pick up. I expect a rental contract to be near to accurate in all respects including similarity of vehicle type. Any contractual failure on my part would have been met by you with some resistance no doubt. "
" We were given a Mercedes Citan to drive; hardly a comparative car to the Golf we requested, not even similar being a 6+ seater. Alamo did not know where the car return location was at Nurnberg Airport, neither did their first contact airport info service. It's a small airport, and fortunately it was an obvious return point after some personal searching via mapping. "

" All of the comments are based on our experience with Buchbinder and it does not necessarily follow our opinion of Auto Europe would be the same but we have no other exerience to compare this one to. "
" 1) Although the car hire was booked well in advance and prepaid, when we arrived there was no vehicle available and we had to wait 45minutes before any vehicle was ready (although we were offered a 12-seater bus if we'd wished). 2) Despite advising in advance that we would be travelling to Austria and paing a €10 'Cross Border' charge - as soon as we crossed the border into Austria we were stopped by Austrian authorities and charged €120 for not displaying an Austrian Toll sticker. 3)Despite no vehicle daamage assessment form being completed both before the start of the hire period or on the vehicle's return, we have now been advised of unspecified damage to the vehicle. We refute any such claim. The car was returned in exactly the same condition as it was originally received. If the returned vehicle was deemed in anyway 'damaged' then this should have been pointed out to us - in our presence - at the time of return and not three days later as we have no way of knowing what has happened to the vehicle after we returned it.

This was compounded by the fact that their stock of available vehicles at the time of pick up was considerably reduced.

At the Hertz/Thirfty desk in airport, I was told I have purchased this and they did not believe I have not been asked for it. Why would I want to pay twice for the same sort of insurance?? At this question, they answered that I have signed the contract (no copy of this provided to me though), so I should have read every detail on it carefully, before signing :(( I must admit I was not aware that Autoeurope is providing the full excess insurance through a third party, not the car rental provider!

" Overall the service was good, however I originally stated that I was going to visit a number of different countries. I did however change my mind as the service desk person told me when accepting the keys that I would be charged for entering any other countries than Germany, which was disappointing as I would like to have done so. Hopefully I have not been charged for these countries I did not visit in the end. "
" On collecting the car I was given a sheet which detailed the car had no damage, however on inspecting the car there were a number of scratches on top of the rear bumper underneath where the boot door opens. It was obvious that these marks were from previous users loading and unloading their luggage. I returned to the desk, however there was no one present for me to report the matter to. They had either left or had gone for a break. I therefore made a note of the damage and reported it to the person I handed the car back to at the end of the hire. It was with relief that they accepted that the scratches were not my doing as I only had a small hand luggage case. "

How can I avoud this in future? The rental agencies don't even publish their waiting policies. "

" When collecting our pre-booked car we were told that the type we had booked wasn't available, and the substitute proved unsuitable for our needs regarding passengers & luggage so we had to upgrade to a larger vehicle at additional cost, whereas we could have pre-booked a similar vehicle at less cost. This upgraded vehicle proved to be only just large enough to accommodate our needs despite assurances at the counter and one of our family had two uncomfortable journeys to & from our destination. In addition, when dropping car off at airport the person checking the vehicle back in for Global /(Buchbinder) was not readily identifiable and there was a reasonable wait before someone came to look over the car on return. Also we were told we had to go back to the hire desk to obtain a receipt and had a lengthy wait there before someone became available. When we did get to the counter, we were advised that we hadn't needed to come back there but that we could have obtained a receipt from the office in the returns area. This was impossible as there were no staff available there as we had gone there first as on previous occasions when hiring a car at this airport. eventually after some discussion the lady on the desk managed to give us the receipt requested. The process of doing this took a fair while to do which in the past we had not experienced. Fortunately we had plenty of time on this occasion before our flight departed but if we had been in a hurry this would have been more distressing. "

In Munich main station office it was again only Hertz with the longest queue, but 45 minutes were bearable and the staff was very nice and helpful.

" When I arrived at Munich airport I had to wait for 3 hours to collect my car. No explanation was given until almost the end of my wait (no cars available) and it only filtered through talking to other people waiting (there were about 50, some with young children) As I was on my own I could not get myself a drink etc. I had flown to Munich to collect my 92 year old mother from hospital after a stroke on this day and had to make frantic phone calls to make other arrangements. While the staff, when I finally got my car, was very courteous, it was also the lack of information, that was really annoying. I have rented cars in Munich (and other countries) many times over the last 30 years, I have never ever had to wait this long. However the car was exactly what I requested and the counter staff was very polite and helpful, but I think the management should have given people an explanation and I really cannot understand why there were not enough cars, when everyone seemed to have booked in advance "

It would have been interesting to have seen what ' Global Rent- A- Car ' would have done if we had said that we didn't want it. Not as if they would have been able to switch it off !

" The booking arrangements and collection and drop off arrangements were excellent as was the condition of the vehicle and it's suitability for our needs. However, we were confused and disappointed to be told that we had to pay an addition amount for a navigation system - 8 euros and 40 cents per day - for something which came as standard with the vehicle I.e. it had an integral satellite navigation system which of course we could have chosen not to use but which was available to us as a standard accessory with the make and model of vehicle we had chosen. This was. Not explained to us at the collection point so when we were charged an additional amount we fully expected the navigation system to be a detachable one which would be given to us on collection and then would have to be returned when we brought the vehicle back. This would seem like ' sharp practice' and I feel we need to point this out to any future customers on your site to warn them of this additional and we feel, unjustified cost. It would be extremely gratifying to be offered the refund of 92 Euro's and 40cents but if this is not something you are able to do, perhaps you could direct us to how and where we make contact with ' Global Rent - A- Car ' .

We explained our flight wa delayed, but the car was paid for and should not have gone to another customer. The attendant told us the only option was for us to pay for a bigger car, I said no. He then said he could find us an alternative car but would have to wait for 40mins. Bearing in mind I was traveling with my 3 year old daughter, this was unnaceptable. "

" I had to leave the car in a public car park with no staff available to check the car's condition. The car was in the same condition as when collected.

" I have had no problems with Autoeurope my dispute is with Keddy/Europcar "
" Returned car without any motoring incidents. I was shocked to be advised I had 'scratched' the bonnet. The car had the faintest scratch on the bonnet. I said it must have been there at collection, ( I would never have noticed it) In any case I am positive it was so light it would have polished out. They charged me 420 Euros. I feel I was the victim of a scam. She barely checked the rest of the car which made me suspicious. I have a 2nd booking with them ( through AE) which I will cancel. If I caused damage I would be happy to pay. But 420 euros knowing that it will not be repaired is in my opinion criminal. I won't use Keddy/Europcar again. "

" The rudest woman on the car rental counter I ever come across. Our original request was for a Ford Fiesta but were told it would be a Fiat Panda. My husband said OK but we ended up with a Renault Clio - no explanation given. Worst of all, however, was the bullying manner she used for the insurance saying that it had been paid to an agent, not them and that 800 euros block on the card would be taken for every scratch on the car for every day we had this car. In the end, I walked away and left my husband to try to deal with her. We have hired cars in both Germany and Italy several times before and have never been treated in such a horrible way. "

" I had no problems with Auto Europe whatsoever. However, you need to consider your business partners (car rental companies) more carefully to keep and attract the customers. My little piece of advice - avoid Buchbinder as a plague. Finally, I am sorry for being a bit blunt but I really wanted to get the message across. Thanks! "
" The only good part was the price. OK, the car itself was not too bad as well (except having winter tires in the middle of summer heat of nearly 30C). 1. Waiting time with Buchbinder, Interrent partner in Munich airport. Disaster. Very slow service in front of me. My own pick-up went reasonably fast. Nevertheless, nearly 1 hour for vehicle pick-up beats the purpose of having a rental vehicle (train, taxi, Uber, bicycle will do). 2. Vehicle condition. A lot of scratches on the car that were not previously marked. One has to go around a vehicle with a flashlight in a dark parking lot like Mr Sherlock to avoid charges later. 3. Return. Looked smooth from the outset but could not get the receipt I was looking for to be on the safe side. The system failed. Had to wait for 30 minutes to re-process, getting close to missing the flight. 4. Various. Shall I say more? What would motivate me to use the same rental company again? Not the 20 euros price difference. No need for such a misery. "

" 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 "

" I am not sure where auto europe stops and hertz starts so I have no comment to make. "
" I booked this car online weeks in advance. On arriving at the pickup point in Munich Airport I was made to wait about an hour and a half for counter service. The counter staff were not to blame but Hertz procedures were. Only two staff were on duty in at least 4 desks. The queue behind me would have taken many hours to process. What is the point of booking ahead if you have to stand for 90 minutes? When I arrived at the desk I asked if I could return the car 24 hours earlier than arranged. The man said yes, but explained that as I had paid for the booking already, it was not possible to refund me any amount for the reduced hire. Not possible? Nonsense. It is obviously just Hertz policy. The car was fine though I would report that it has a serious blind spot behind to the right. You need to turn your head to see. This is a failing of the Fiesta design, not of Hertz. The dropoff was extremely badly organised. I arrived at the address given -- Bahnhof Platz 2, Muenchen -- but I could see no sign of Hertz. After some difficulty -- it is a very busy part of town -- I managed to stop so I could use my phone to find out where to go. I called the Hertz number several times but was told each time by an automatic reply that the person responsible was not available and I should try later. After a few of these calls, I called the number for a new hire and was connected immediately to a human. He explained that the drop off point was not at the address I had been given but at a completely different place several hundred metres away. Why is a false address given? The actual drop off service was fine, though I would have liked a receipt stating that I had returned the car in good condition. "

I now question if it would have been better to have bought the car hire directly from Europcar and purchased their additional insurance. "
" I purchased additional insurance with Autoeurope but the lady at the counter tried to sell me additional insurance. When I explained that I purchased additional insurance with Autoeurope, she told me that she had no record of it and told me that in so many words that if I was happy taking that risk, that's fine with her. It left me feeling so nervous driving a car in which the insurance was uncertain and it impacted on my use of the car.

" we not got the car with unlimited miles as we ask for "
" when we booked the car we specifically choosen a car with unlimited miles but when we picked the car up we noted that the staff wrote down the miles so we knew that we have to pay extra for miles over the limit but no one said anything to us about that . so we will NOT tell our family and friends to hire from your company "

" Give your counter staff some training. Modernise your paperwork. Go to your desk at Copenhagen Airport and see how it can be done - courteous, quick and efficient. "
" I rent from this location weekly. Counter staff are surly and indifferent. They always claim the vehicles are undamaged, but there is always damage on them which then needs a member of staff to inspect, causing delay. They NEVER show existing damage on their forms, but then go over the vehicle with a fine tooth comb on return. They are the Ryanair of car hire - the cheapest, but with zero customer service. "

There was no damage to the car and i have a receipt to prove it. There is no reason for my deposit to be held and the level of customer service in relation to this issue has been appalling. Numerous times i have had to send the same email just to get a response which is always "We are looking into it." I've had enough. This is beyond a joke and simply not acceptable. Will be avoiding at all costs in the future and will be telling friends and family to do likewise "

" The drop off in Munich was a nightmare, there were no signs to the drop off depot & when I eventually got there the staff were very unhelpful. The man did not explain the check-in procedure at all, I found it a very confusing & upsetting process. I had filled up with petrol on the way into Munich but due to getting lost had obviously used a little fuel & the check-in man just kept saying that the fuel was not full, he didn't say whether he wanted me to go & fill it up or whether I had to pay an excess. "
" The collection of the car at Frankfurt airport went very smoothly & the staff were helpful "
" So far I'm satisfied. Found the desk for Enterprise ok, was seen after a short wait and given keys to a car and directions to the car location about 400 metres away. I asked if there was any damage on the vehicle and was told none but to inspect it and to ring if there were any marks over a 2 coin size. There was a significant scrape on the passenger side which I photographed.. There were a couple of other small minor marks on the boot sill. I went back to the desk and the scrape was noted. On return inspection guy said the scrape was noted but there was a problem with the boot sill marks. I told him what happened upon collection and that I only reported the scrape in line with the 2 advice. He eventually said ok! Unpleasant end to hire. "
" When I picked up the keys I was told it was fine. It had a scrape which I photographed and some small marks - when I went back to the desk I was told only the scrape needed marking. Different story upon return when the inspection guy said there was a problem with the minor marks that I was told did not need marking. I felt I was being set up by the two people saying different things and that I was going to be blamed / charged for the minor marks I was told not to report! The car was fine and the price competitive but I was left feeling concerned after the handover process. I will be contacting Auto -Europe Monday to go through what happened. "

" Automatic car was paid for and none was available. had to take same grade of car in manual "
" show nearby petrol stations on simple one page map. "
" A little slow. "
" My biggest concern is the constantly changing policy on cross border costs/travel. sometimes nil, sometimes 20 euro, sometimes material amounts per per. This is getting more and more like ryan air, hidden costs deep in the detailed t&c. You used to be much more upfront, get back to being that. On this point alone i can NO LONGER recommend you as i have in the past "
" Car dirty outside and inside. Loads of small damage not listed. Sat nav and info systems set in russian, impossible to rectify without s speaking russian. Negatives offset, by car being exactly as described and being a great car "
" Very happy "
" Delay in returning car. Other car hire companies great and check on return of car. Global do not and is is made clear on pickup. Parking up at return car reception told this was not global car. Told to find a parking space walk to global office, return keys, wait for staff member to find car check and return. This takes extra 20 minutes. So not the best. "
" The car was hired under understanding I could travel cross to Austria.Local firm enterprise said 5 euros extra per day and that all rental companies did this.I then walked over and randomly asked 2 who said they don't charge anything.I then couldn't reach auto Europe on phone,had to pay lot more than on quote.very angry about this "

" Ok except didn't like driving the Smart Car on the motorways. "
" I don't consider a Skoda Roomster, the car provided, a substitute for a VW Passat, a Skoda Superb or Octavia would be more appropriate. The car was registered in Slovenia and had a Slovenian handbook so when I had fault lights come up I didn't know what they meant. I read German not Slovenian. I had to find a Skoda dealer to resolve the problems which could have been resolved with a German or English handbook. "
" It might be helpful to have more staff on reception "
" A bumper scratch could not be seen till I left the underground carpark. I left the car to inform the hire company in the terminal. Afterwards I had to pay to leave the car park! Silly money but I lost almost an hour! "
" If rental companies state the car is blemish free it should be, it is no good saying:"Make sure it is...". "
" Good price, easy booking - very satisfied "
" Very friendly service at the desk. It could be made more clear which was Alamo though. "
" I had damage to a tyre and have paid the excess but they still have not sent me a receipt for this so I can claim it back off my hire insurance. I have been in touch 4 times and they still have not sent it. "
" You may give a really good price but we found it misleading with our booking as we were charged 35.99 euros at Munich airport.We expected to pay may be around 6 euros per day for going over border to Austria as your terms and conditions suggest but not much more. When we asked auto europe reservations department about this they said we should have read the terms and conditions, that's all! The problem with this is that the terms are not made clear until you have booked and paid and then we still have no idea why it was so much more?? So we wont use you again!! "
" Friendly staff, quick and efficient, suggested we book direct next time to avoid hidden charges by brokers! "
" Very nice and good service really happy with it Many thanks "
" Experience was good. "
" I didn't receive the type of car booked. Instead of VW Passat or similar, I got Skoda Rapide, very basic and required service. Rental experience at the counter though long, was fair but not brilliant. "
" All went smoothly. Thank you. "
" Very efficient booking service "
" Pleasant and efficient, although the Slovakian plates caused some interesting conversations when crossing borders "
" They had very bad service. We were 2 hours early and were told that we would have to pay extra money to get the car straight away which we agreed to and than they said that the car is not available yet. when they finally gave the car it was very dirty and not clean and the baby seat was filthy for which we had to wait another 2 hours. so waisted a lot of time and charged extra for going out of the country too. so basically was not a very nice experience at all. Thanks. "
" Car was very pleasant to drive and in good condition "
" very easy drop off on return of vehicle "
" I need a final invoice and could not get one issued at Dusseldorf due to a pick up and drop off at different locations, there is a charge for this service so I would expect to be able to complete the hire with the appropriate paperwork. If this service was available I would have scored full marks now I have to go to the trouble of contacting the hire company for my final invoice. "
" When I booked with you I asked for full waver insurance cover and assumed I had paid for it. On picking the car up I was told this was not the case. I was in no position to argue. On agreement no 776-776007179 I was charged a further euros 168.07 for excess CDW. Could you please sort this out for me "
" car was Ok but see above "
" The hire company (Enterprise) were a disgrace. "
" Enterprise charged me £740 because of a small stone chip on the bumper. When we picked up the car, the man at the counter tried to charge us again, even though we had paid online already. We feel completely ripped off and part of a big scam. Disgusting! "
" easy booking, no problems at all. coming back to you next time, thank you! "
" Easy collection and drop off. "
" Company did not have the car we ordered and tried giving us a van which we did not accept in the end we had an upgrade a Ford Focus which was good. "

" The Global Drive staff were very helpful. They all spoke very good English which helped as my German is poor. The car we were given was perfect and at an absolute bargain. We were very impressed with the service and would happily recommend Global Drive. "
" No hidden extras please. It is annoying to pay to cross the border to Austria. There is zero cost to you. Your insurance is automatically for all EU. Its just a way of sticking the customer! "
" Slow pick up and return "
" I rented a "Volkswagen Passat or similar". Instead I got a Skoda Roomster. The car was a complete POS and nowhere near the same category as a VW Passat. I feel completely ripped off. "

" Unhappy to have been given a damaged car which resulted in a half-hour delay in getting it verified. On return the damage was spotted easily enough. Also, the GPS hired - why was "home" not the airport? "
" Was suprised to have an upgraded car. But would have liked someone to check the car with me and explain how the car operated, as it was very modern and I had had no previous experience of driving such a modern car. Also to have the Sat Nav explained to me. All the appropriate manuals were with the car, but were in German, so no help at all. "
" On arrival I was not given the full documentation for the car and therefore had to return to the desk when I found scratches on the car. Checking the car further I found the petrol cap missing and once more had to return to the service desk to be issued a new car. There were no assistants immediately available to sign off for the damage found and in all the trouble left me at the airport for approx 45 mins extra. Though the staff were pleasant they should have removed the faulty car from the system. "

Friendly, efficient and wanting to please. Excellent service! "
" No interaction with Auto Europe so far for this rental. Convenient to have the car company ratings and to be able to compare tariffs. "
" Buchbinder tried to charge me for pretty much invisible damage to the wind screen, it took 10 minutes of fighting to get them to acknowledge that it was pre-existing. After that, they looked for something else and said that there was damage under the car, which was "invisible indeed but that they could feel with their hand". I wrote on the contract that I was disputing it and left (so I am now waiting on the outcome). Buchbinder tried to sell me a full tank refill despite me telling them i would drive less than 2 hours. I declined and did my own refill which cost me just under 10 euros... They were also very insistent on selling me the additional insurance. "
" Very happy with the car and service. All provided at a competitive price. "

" Shocked at the 6 per day cross border tax "

" The car was great and Enterprise staff were very helpful and professional. But. The car was booked with winter tyres. However when I got to the hire counter Enterprise told me they didn't have any cars with winter tyres. They only had all season tyres. Other customers were complaining about this too. After some discussion they eventually realized I knew the difference and I knew what I was talking about and so they gave me some snow chains at no charge. - So I was very disappointed they did not have the tyre option available which was agreed to in the booking voucher. - But I was quite happy they were able to solve it by offering chains. So Neutral score overall. "
" Auto Europe were OK, but I ended up paying over the odds for the car. "
" Excellent service picking up the car (except they forgot to give us the ticket to exit the car park) The sat nav in the Vauxhall we had was useless Drop off was very good "
" Intially very busy but that was of flight delays clerk at book in desk insisted that we should pay for additional driver which we did but I was not happy about that vehicle given when we said we would struggle to get equipment in vehicle clerk on desk insisted we would so we went to vehicle AND tried but as predicted could not get 6 adults equipment and ski gear in VW sharan so we went back to check desk next young lady was excellent refunded the money taken by mistake and sorted out a vehicle of type we had originally ordered would I use them again yes vehicle we ended was fine and the price was fair. Something that could be of interest would be luggage storage in return for early return of vehicle to hirer. Overall view good "
" We were unable to have our initial choice of vehicle ,but the Ford Fiesta we were given included free fuel and was perfectly adequate clean and economical. "
" Very helpful and informative "
" Great service all round...price and selection very good and competitive. "
" Again overall great service , staff etc very good , got the vehicle I selected but it was more than an hour late in delivery ( i allowed time for flight etc but didnt expect extra time on top of this), which put extra time on my journey...as a family not great..plus other family members had to wait till we had collected our car....vehicle inside windscreen covered in smears n in sunlight etc was a problem...screen wash light was on when I collected it n outside / inside could have been cleaner.

" Good service at the Airport, good car actually upgraded to a Ford C-Max "
" Easy, resonable prices and reliable. "
" Absolutly no problems, and they did not even put a hold on my credit card. "
" As usual best value for money. Broad choice. My favorite booking site. "
" The gave me an up-grade (manual = automatic), however, the wiper fluid was not working (front and rear window). Given the wintery conditions on the motorways in Bavaria this was extremely annoying. Furthermore, the navigation system was set into the Russian language mode (Cyrillic script) and it took quite some to time to adjust it back to Arabic script. All in all, the car was sloppily prepared. "
" Went without a hitch. Excellent. "
" It went fine. Buchbinder were very gentlemanly and unhurried. They gave us an Audi A3. Fine. 35000 on the clock, but it was in good condition. Invited us to phone in about the minor external defects if we did not agree with their written assessment. The point being they didn't expect us to be able to assess it properly in the dark on pick up. On return they didn't really check the condition, but simply asked if we had had mishaps. We hadn't. "
" Simply brilliant "
" Amazing customer service. Simply brilliant. "
" Good service, although I would mention more explicit information is required about excess cover as I paid a further 100 Euros for full cover, which I thought I had already paid beforehand. "
" Again very good service and easy to understand. "
" Did not understand why there should be a surcharge for crossing borders i.e. Germany to Austria. "
" Very helpful lady served me. "
" Very economic, good comparison website "
" Easy, straight forward, polite and very clean new car "
" Easy to book on-line. Confirmation was not immediate but came after a couple of hours. Disappointing that there was a considerable local charge payable for driving the car out of Germany (over the border to Austria in this case) which was not made clear prior to finalising the booking. "
" Quick and efficient pick up at the airport (although the desk could have been better sign posted). The car was nearly new and ran without problems. There was no ice scraper in the vehicle. This would have been useful and made our journey safer as we were driving in snowy conditions. The vehicle ran out of screen wash on the journey back to Munich even though we had not used screen wash much during our trip. "
" Very positive "
" Very helpful "
" Not keen on underpowered Skoda Estate after paying a little more for a higher spec. vehicle such as Ford Focus estate or Opel...... "
" Basic service for a fair price - friendly staff at Munich airport which is always good. "
" I was very satisfied with Auto europe, whenever i called you were very helpful It was also a very easy smooth transaction once i was in Berlin. Although you state that we were renting from Alamo when we were actually with Eurocar which was a bit confusing. "
" for starters it was eurocar and not alamo, and is a bit confusing if your not aware of that. Then when we arrived we were told there was no GPS in the car so we obviously needed one as i had requested it earlier, then as we were leaving we found that the car had a GPS installed in the car and was working perfectly fine and that we could have been using that the whole time without an extra charge. So i was charged £45 for something that i didnt need. Thats all Other than that it was a great car, and great service both in Berlin and in Munich. "
" Clear and accurate website that allowed me to make an informed decision on my rental. "
" Very detailed and useful information. Call centre was great when I needed to ask them about using only counterpart licence. Upgraded the car and made fuel purchasing recommendations. Really good experience at both pick up and drop off. "
" easy and good value . they do exactly what you pay for spot on. "
" staff friendly with good English. the cars offered were brand new and superb specification. we paid a small upgrade for a top of the range car which was amazing , filled with technology ,so easy and fun to drive.was the best car rental I have ever done. will do again soon. "
" reliable service "
" beware of offers they try to sell you when you get to their desk "
" Would help to be shown where the lever is to open the petrol tank to enable me to fill the car up with petrol. "
" Good customer service and the car was exactly what I needed, clean compact and nice to drive. "
" Good service. Very competitive price. "
" Very nice service. Car (Nissan Note Auto) was not so great - very under-powered. Would have preferred the Golf I thought I was getting. "
" Satisfied with the easy process as I showed up to the rental car pick up counter and presented my Auto Europe voucher :) "
" Very helpful and friendly staff "
" Auto Europe provide a very good service and are always very competitive. "
" I like their cars, they always have fairly new vehicles, well looked after. The only problem is on arrival there is always a long wait at the collection counter, even if there are only two or three people waiting. On arrival at Frankfurt airport early a.m. on 6th September this year I had to wait for the most part of two hours to get my car. There was a huge queue and only one person at the desk. Apparently due to sickness. That was unacceptable as the management should have called somebody in to cover under the circumstances! We had all been up since 4 a.m. that morning. Otherwise they are very good. "
" The booking experience was easy.There were no problems at the Thrifty desk at Munich Airport. "
" 1) I was offered an upgrade at no extra cost without asking for it. 2) A Thrifty rep escorted me to the car and stayed with me while I examined it; he made a note without discussion of a few chips which I identified which were not on the original documentation. 3) They were all courteous and polite. I have never used Thrifty before but will do so again. again. "
" As helpful as always.I changed my booking twice,over the phone,all done in an instant.Wonderful service,would never dream of booking with anyone else. "
" Extremely helpful. I was very impressed with their service, they even carried my baggage and showed me to my car.Would highly recommend to anyone. "
" Excellent service "
" I booked a Mercedes and was given a BMW. No complaints there and very efficient service "
" Overall, very positive experience. Will certainly use again! "
" Clerk was very professional, courteous, and helpful. A pleasurable encounter! "
" Good website, good choice, good prices. "
" Excellent service at the desk, car in great condition, short distances, very good experience. "
" Booking process was simple, secure and had the best prices. "
" The staff were fantastic but the whole process was mind numbingly slow and inefficient. Having to wait an hour to collect the car when everything was reserved was very bad. Returning the car took another hour and there were only 2 people I the queue. "
" All round i had no issues and car reliable "
" it was very easy to order online and very competitive rates. It was however difficult to get exact information about excess costs. "
" Initially it was very difficult to get exact information about excess costs and how much the one wya fee was before making the actualy booking. The staff at both locations in germany were very helpful and cheerful. "
" Easy to use; clear about what was included / excluded "
" We arrived at the airport and were told there were no cars available - we were't the only ones. An hour and a half later we got the car, but in the document signing process the agent was extremely rude to me after I asked hi to clarify what he was telling me regarding excesses. He said "Can you please just hurry up as there are lots of customers waiting". Unacceptable. I was then told that if when I inspected the car there were any other marks on it that hadn't been noted on the form then there would be someone there who I could speak to. In the event there were lots of dents and marks and nobody to speak to, so I had to trek back to the hire desk... Absolutely awful experience and I would definitely not recommend them. "
" easy to understand website, easy payment methods. Got the car I expected and happy with everything from Auto Europe. Excellent price for the car I had, very, very happy. "
" Well located in the airport, quickly had the keys to my car for the week. The car was parked in a parking garage just 500m from the terminal. On return, the process was quick - dropped the car back at the same parking garage and was inspected within a few minutes of my arrival. Good service all round. "
" Very good service throughout. The process of collecting the car is slow with a lot of paper work. Much of this could have been completed with the booking or before the trip. "
" Very good service throughout. The process of collecting the car is slow with a lot of paper work. Much of this could have been completed with the booking or before the trip. "
" Very efficient service. I telephoned to get more information regarding taking the car across the German border. My call was answered very quickly, and the person I spoke with answered all my queries. Definitely recommend, as I will be using them again. "
" Very helpful and friendly staff. Explained everything very clearly, in perfect English. Excellent service. Definitely recommend. I will be using Enterprise in the future. "
" Receiving an e-mail (after paying) saying that the reservation was not confirmed was a bit disconcerting - though rectified with confirmation after a few minutes. Maybe this should be explained or made clearer in the booking process "
" Excellent service and provided us with a very good vehicle, larger than anticipated. The best rental company I've dealt with in the last few years. "
" Easy and efficient to use. Good price. Extremely pleased with it. "
" Quick service, no problems at all. I like their range of cars. "
" Very simple process. "
" Helpful staff and very nice clean car. "
" Documentation was satisfactory when picking up car "
" Very slow when collecting car. A number of potential customers left without booking cars. Some damage to car was highlighted on pick up documents. When car was dropped off there was no corresponding written confirmation that car was not damaged during hire period.. The verbal assurances that all was well should be backed up by a written confirmation. The Thrifty desk c9nfirmed verbally that everything was OK but no receipt documents issued. I would have appreciated a document finalising the hire and confirming that all was in order. "
" Thanks for your job. Everything was Ok! "
" No problem. Everything was Ok! "
" Everything was handled extremely well, it could not have been better. From the greeting at pick up to the drop off. Thought the one way drop off charge was high "
" Extremely good "
" Offers a great comparison of various deal options. Good overview! Very useful! Got exactly what I wanted at a very affordable price! "
" All agents have been very friendly and courteous. Got an upgrade. And then when that particular car had not left the car wash yet I was given another car! Great service! Did not have to wait around. "
" It would be helpful if you could indicate what the daily cost of the excess waiver will be if taken at the time the car is picked up. I knew this would be an extra so not a problem but couldn't find the cost on the Thrifty website. The booking process was clear and simple. "
" Very friendly and efficient. Rental desk was in the main arrivals terminal building. No pressure to purchase tank of fuel up front and explained where nearest fuel station is for our return. We were upgraded and given a brand new car. Return was also efficient. We were met in car park by a friendly man who quickly checked the car and signed our form to confirm all was ok. Everyone we dealt with spoke extremely good English. I would definitely recommend Thrifty from this airport. "
" No problems with the booking or service. Our car battery went flat on our last day though. The car hire company did send a mechanic to fix this. "
" No problems with the booking or service. Our car battery went flat on our last day though for no obvious reason. The car hire company did send a mechanic to fix this. "
" Always Efficient "
" Very pleasant, informative and efficient "
" Great service. Only issue was that enterprise didn't have flight details that I included in the booking. "
" Great service and grateful that the lady waited even though the flight was delayed. "
" very helpful, polite and efficient telesales staff "
" I booked a car in the compact class ie, volkswagen golf or similar, in the event , I was provided with a skoda fabia estate. In my opinion this car was in a far inferior class to a volkswagen golf, opel astra, ford focus, skoda octavia etc... I wonder whether in future I should be booking a car in a higher class in the hope of recieving a car which may actually meet my expectations? "
" It was easy to book online, the amount to me at that stage was acceptable. "
" Arriving in Duesseldorf it was quick to get the car. The best was a drop off where all rental companies had clubbed together in a central station where you could drop your car, it got checked there and then and you could leave in the knowledge that everything was ok. "
" I would recommend using Auto Europe for car rental in Berlin. "
" We hired a car with Thrifty and they were friendly and efficient. We had no problems at all and were on our way very quickly. All for an excellent price too. "
" Identifying Thrifty as a suitable supplier was good. "
" A good clean car was provided. This VW Tiguan suited our needs admirably "
" the car was difficult to find in the Dusseldorf airport car park, directions not very clear. "
" as above "
" Fantastic service by Auto Europe and Alamo/Europcar at Munich airport. I was very impressed with every detail and will definitely use both again. "
" Fantastic service by Auto Europe and Alamo/Europcar at Munich airport. I was very impressed with every detail and will definitely use both again. "
" The booking process was simple and I got all that I requested - GPS etc. Very satisfied with the whole booking process and the simple voucher system was easy. "
" withing 15 minutes of disembarking from the plane, I was in the rental car and ready to depart the airport. As a frequent traveller this was by far one of the most cost and service effective hires I have undertaken. "
" Easy to use and very clear information. "
" Easy pick-up and drop-off. "
" Very efficient booking procedure. "
" Highly satisfied with the staff at the Hahn office. Very welcoming and quick "
" easy booking, no hidden information, great price, have used before and will be using again "
" in general like any other company, but i have requested and my voucher clearly said "winter tyres", not FOUR SEASON tyres, I have realised that I was given cheaper option tyres only when I got into trouble in Austrian Alps, it is impossibly to drive car with all season tyres in show hilly/mounting roads of Alps, moreover those tyres were heavily used previously and were on the legal wear limit, this issue put my family under risk, risk was for vehicle and our lives, not happy at all, I have complained on the phone, they said this is legal for vehicles in Germany to have fourseason tyres, but I have particularly requested car with WINTER tyres, I am sure I am not the first to complain about this "
" Great value thanks "
" Very long queue at Munich but the staff were helpful and they opened lots of desks to speed things up "
" Still got screwed on additional insurance at pick up. This could be sorted online. Confusion as to what each level of insurance covers. Would be nice to book baby seat online. "
" Strange drop off procedure at Munich airport. Just leave car with keys in - no one to meet you. Bizarre. "
" Very well organized "
" very easy, clear instructions and excellent value "
" Excellent service at the desk, car was prepared and superb, clean and ready to go and the agreement was with the company Buchbinder. I was asked to give access to my credit card, which was authorised at 1000. I was assured that it would not be used unless the car was damaged or needed fuel. When I returned the car full of fuel and undamaged, I left it at a very busy general car return area. However, the credit card deposit was not released until the car keys came down from where I left the car. I was a little concerned that the car was in other's hands and yet was still my financial responsibility. The paper I was handed to say all OK was quite vague and stated that the car was 'very dirty' It just left me vulnerable and a little worried. "
" maybe try and offer an inclusive rate for second driver and get hire company to pre-complete more information prior to arrival "
" we had to queue for 90 MINUTES at Munich airport before being seen by Thrifty - this was as long as our flight! This is unacceptable at the start of our holiday. It meant that the reception at our hotel in Garmisch was closed when we arrived. If we use AUTO Europe again (we are flying to Munich again in November) I will only make a reservation if it is with a different provider. The car provided was fine. "
" Had to wait for confirmation due to request to drop car off at different destination which took a day. "
" Arriving at Terminal 1, had to go to Terminal 2 which took a bit of time... Got a free upgrade on the car, excellent! returned car to Dussledorf which was on the 6 floor of a carpark with a very tight spiral ramp... not fun! but managed to arrive with no scrapes. "
" Buckbinder/Thrifty who handled the car rental tried to give me a soft top convertible-in January. They told me this was a free upgrade! They also said there were no other cars and I couldn't be offered anything else without additional charges! I had ordered a entry level small car and insisted on this...they found one. Poor service yet again (3rd time from Buckbinder/Thrifty) I would pay more and get a reputable supplier "
" As above "
" In general your systems worked well, even when we had to change our booking. "
" They were helpful, and we had no problems. They were easier to deal with than some of the other more well known car hire companies that we have dealt with. "
" Excellent "
" Very happy with everything ! "
" keep offering good rates and I keep using you! "
" all was well until I brough back the car. At the check out a few scratches were found that were not on the check in and it is really impossible that this was due to me. The car was driven from Munich to my home village and stayed outside my home house for a week and then driven back. Just hope that you will not try to overcharge me for anything as I will need to dispute this. Next time I will take more time in checking the car at pick up but it was late, dark and I have a little child. "
" There were no problems with Auto Europe. The booking process was smooth so can't grumble. "
" Not that happy with Thrifty at Berlin Schonefeld (or Buchbinder as they seem to call themselves there). We booked a "Ford Focus Estate or similar" well in advance of our trip. When we got there, we were told we could only have an Opel Vivaro 9 seater van (too big!) or a VW Polo (too small!). I had to argue with the guy a bit, who didn't seem to care that I'd not be confident driving such a large thing as a left hand drive Vivaro into Poland where we were ultimately heading. In the end, I pointed out that I'd seen a perfectly good Astra Estate in his car park which he reluctantly let me take. The Astra itself was actually excellent (Xenons, 7" sat nav, heated seats etc)... just a shame the guy lied & tried to fob me off with a van. "
" All fine no problems - web booking worked well, price was good. "
" All fine no problems - Thrifty had mainsteam office alongside the other rental desks, car was ready and everything was organised, no problems. "
" High added extra, for fully comp insurance, not shown when booking! "
" very courteous and helpful "
" Difficult to find Thrifty car rental in Berlin Plus I thought all insurance details where sorted out. I still had to leave 1000 euros deposit? "
" Please put some signs up "
" The lady attendant was fantastic, most helpful, fluent English help me very much, explained the whole process extremely well, put me at ease before my journey commenced. "
" Very competative, supplied alternative car when Audi A3 was not available "
" Do not know if my experience with Alamo reflects on Auto Europe. "
" I had a puncture, changed wheel, but tyre was small wheel. Requested replacement car or new wheel. They said no can do so abandoned car and Hertz delivered replacement. "
" Very good service "
" Very good, quick and easy service. "
" I have used Auto Europe on many occasions over the last couple of years and I'm always pleasantly surprised how much cheaper the car hire is through you than by going directly to the car hire company. This has been the main reason for me recommending you to a number of my colleagues who also travel in Europe. "
" The person at the Thrifty desk was friendly and helpful and also provided me with a free upgrade without any prompting. On returning the car, the Thrifty contact in the parking garage was also friendly and courteous. "
" next time include options on excess and include price of insurance for young driver "
" was a bit of a walk to get to car. better directions required on where to drop car "
" All transactions are straight forward and easy "
" friendly staff "
" Excellent service, which unfoubtedly I shall use again.Just one thing - I think you should make it clear, that Thrifty insist upon the presentation of a credit card. I only use a Visa debit card. There was an additional charge of approximately £120.00 pounds at the Dusseldorf airport drsk of Thrifty. Although stated in the fine print, this teally should have been more prominently displayed. "
" Very good save as set out above "
" Service was, as ever, faultless. Response to booking was speedy. Everything was clear. no hiccups. "
" Experience was extremely positive. Car rental desks in Munich are easy to find (in the Airport Centre - MAC - between the two terminals). Alamo is serviced through the Europcar desk (helpful to know this in advance, as the sign is not prominent until you get to the Europcar counter). Car was excellent. We thought that departure from the airport might be a bit time consuming but this proved not to be the case. Everything was very easy. We didn't know that we should wait at the car when we returned it, so that it could be checked off - system is a bit different from what we had experienced at other airports. But on this experience we would actively choose Munich again. "
" Excelllent! "
" We chose Auto Europe for the Mercedes Vito offered under category "luxury". We understand that it is subject to availability, but what we received was a 9 seater VW Karavelle which is not that "luxury" more like a factory van. But the van was in good mechanical condition but not clean like when we rented the BMW from Avis in 2006. The VW is a reliable car and fuel efficient. "
" The service provided by the gentleman staff at the counter in Terminal 2 was excellent. I could even buy the Swiss Vignette sticker there. Very convenient. However all 3 child seats we received we hard, definitely not soft at all. Could be more comfortable. "
" Very easy and fast procedure to hire and retrieve/return the car, lovely car as well "
" very easy to deal with,simple booking process "
" Car was just as described,helpfull staff at collection point,drop off was also easy and did not delay our onward journey "
" Very good experience. Very good customer service from young man on the desk at Frankfurt. Car was excellent and whole 9 days were hassle free. A very quick car pickup, one of the quickest we have ever had "
" Great service "
" Car was excellent "
" Excellent service and good pricing. "
" Excellent service at rental desk. Limited car choice but good vehicle provided. "
" Easy booking and very competitive pricing "
" Very quick and efficient process, no language issues, and car was clean and suitable "
" More information about where at the airport the providers are and about the car hire car park would be benficial. "
" Very helpful and quick. I liked the fact that someone from Enterprise was at the car park to explain the car. Things like how to open the tank cap etc. I didn't like the fact that it was on the 7th floor of the car park as the layout and exit ramp are atrocious. But that is not Enterprise's fault. :-) "
" I have been using Auto Europe regularly for the last six years and I will definitely come back. "
" We booked a BMW but only Mercedes were available and no-one explained the weird aspect of this car. We had to work out the strange 'hand' break and got stuck as the car wouldn't start. Lost hours... Trying to get hold of 24 hrs helpline, got no response. Rang Munich desk and was put through and they explained the steering wheel locking device and that we had to press two pedals to start the car!!! Left me really annoyed and stressed. Suggestions: provide a summary of such quirks in main languages and provide a 24hr helpline that works. Otherwise, service was good at pick up and return. "
" As above, provide info about key aspects of the car in main languages. Will save both party time and aggravations. "
" Efficient service with wide range of cars available. Easy to navigate website. "
" Courteous staff who spoke very good English. Car provided was excellent. "
" Excellent Service "
" Very Good . Best price "
" Excellent selection of hire coy "
" Very good at marking on the car papers all existing bumps "
" very good service and car provided was much higher spec. than model paid for. Price very competitive "
" suggest providing map of nearest petrol station to airport "
" Excellent service "
" Very helpful staff and we were given a better car than we ordered which was much appreciated. "
" No problem on this occasion; the rental that followed (2670514-1) was less satisfactory "
" Excellent service "
" I have been charged in excess of £500 by Avis for very minor damage to one tire and wheel hub. The lady in your call center yesterday suggested that the amount charged was excessive and agreed on my behalf to challenge Avis over the amount charged. I am very grateful for this and hope that your assistance, which was helpfully and courteously offered, yields a reduction in the cost. "
" The reception desk where I picked up the car was very helpful. But see above for the excessive charge. "
" After reserving the car I did not receive a confirmation that one had been sourced. I had to send an email to find out that a car had been found. "
" Everything went smoothly, but the car had no handbook. "
" Everything went very smoothly. "
" We had very good service once we realised that Europecar was actually the company we were dealing with! We spent a long time at the airport searching for the ALAMO desk and ended up at EuropeCar mostly by chance. We only noticed the very small ALAMO sign at their desk after we had already established that it was EuropeCar we were dealing with! The service we received from EuropeCar was absolutely excellent. "
" my flight was delayed for7 hrs. my reservation was cancelled, because i dit not call them . after a lot of arguments i had to wait 1 hrs. because they had no car .the car i got was filty and dirty. very bad service,it is not the first time i booked with you, i never complaint for small things . but this was to much. "

" all went very smoothly "
" all went very smoothly and the rate was excellent "
" Internet was easy to use and documentation came through in plenty of time. "
" Service was prompt and courteous "
" Used AE several times before. Wouldn't bother with anyone else now. Cheapest web offers make public transport look unattractive, in Germany at least. "
" Very helpful reception at Budget. Voucher worked without any sense of being a discount- rather than a premium in-house Avis contract. "
" everything was perfect,car was ready for pick up and very clean.we were shone to our car which meant we did'nt have to go and hunt for itas we have had to with other rental companies "
" see above "
" Special deal Rate cannot modify or add day on rental "
" Good car "
" much better now winter tyres included, there used to be no option to include. "
" car was not fully cleaned inside!! europcar service exceleent "
" I've used AutoEurope twice now - once in Germany and once in Italy. Both times the service has been brilliant. Importantly, they were also the cheapest. Very impressed and will use again. "
" Budget/Avis completed teir side of the contract without any issues. I returned the car with a half empty tank so we'll see if they rip us off for the diesel. "
" The staff where very helpful and courteous, the cost and quality of vehicle was as good as I could find within 10 miles of the airport, my overall experience was fantastic. I will be using Auto Europe in the future and have already recommended them to friends. "

" very happy with service ,will return "
" friendly and efficient "
" Professional, efficient and great prices! "
" No fuss, quick service at airport pick-up. And helpful friendly service at Europcar desk...thank you "
" Really good professional service, helpful staff, no problems. "
" Really good professional service, helpful staff, no problems. "
" It was all very easy and were the cheapest too. "
" It went all very smoothly and were even given a choice of car, dropping it off was a smooth process too. "
" I have used AutoEurope for quite a few years now. I always shop around for the best deal, but AE always comes out on top. "
" A very quick and efficient service both for pick-up and drop-off. "
" It took too long to pick up the car. Why don't you get the information you need with the booking and then just check ID and get a signature on collection? "
" It took too long to pick up the car. Why don't you get the information you need with the booking and then just check ID and get a signature on collection? "
" Never had a problem with Autoeurope or its partners over the years, "
" On returning the vehicle I was advsied that there was damagae to the wheel rim of the car. Whilst I explained to them that this was not done by me the situation was not rectified. At the drop off point I was asked to go to the desk and discuss.At the desk they simply told me an engineer would call me within 24hrs. The damage was in fact small and I pointed out that whilst the car stated other damage on the car at point of pick up none of this was in fact on the car and there must be a mix up. Whilst I inderstand the nature of the inspection, it must be comprehensive and correct at point of pick up. I never heard from the engineer and am concerned that I will be charged without knowing. "
" Provided the best price using a hire car provider with a global reputation. "
" It was Europcar who provided the vehicle. "
" very good and helpful "
" Easy to use, competitive rates "
" Rental was actually Europcar. Delivery of car on return was chaotic, I finally gave up and left the car "
" very helpful staff "
" friendly efficient staff after weather canceled flight "
" I contacted the desk by email as I was on my way to my destination and had forgotten to print out my voucher. Helpfully, the customer desk faxed over my voucher to Budget/Avis and I had no problem collecting my car from the rental company. "
" I was given a good car, slightly better than what I had booked. The rental desk and collection and return points for the car were all easy to find. As was the nearby petrol station to fill up the car before returning it. No long queues or difficult procedures. "
" Excellent service Google everything I asked for andmore "
" Very good pleasant helpful staff "
" Excellent value for money. On line booking process was very straightforward, and when I called to add an additional ski rack, this was no problem at all. I received a further e-mail confirmation noting the additional ski rack within a couple of days. All good. "
" Collecting the hire car was very efficient, and the staff were very friendly. The lady at Alamo explained the position re who was insured to drive the vehicle very clearly, and explained what I was being charged for the ski racks, and what deposit was going on to my credit card - all faultless. "
" I do llike, that when I book through you, that I can see which company I will be dealing with before the voucher arrives. Thank you fo that. "
" Very good service as it is noe europcar, which is the best company of them all! "
" Very fast document handling and car hand over procedure, best yet of any in Munich airport, well done! "
" Very fast document handling and car hand over procedure, best yet of any in Munich airport, well done! "

" Always reliable - I have recommended to friends over the past few years. Good value. "
" Quick and easy service from pick up to drop off. "
" Excellent service "
" Excellent "
" Very good service, good web site. "
" Alamo was serviced by national, there is no alamo desc at munich, also it was not clear on the final voucher that I should go to the national desca. "
" My voucher did not arrive in time before I DEPARTED. Otherwise very good service, although the ALAMO desk was closed on returning the vehicle. I hope there will be no nasty suprises on my final bill. I will be using your service again. Keep up the good work on your prices as they are very competetive. "
" Slow pick up on arrival and documenation and the desk was closed on return 0900 in morning on Friday I expected the desk to be open!! "
" excellent, I've been hiring from you since about 5 years in a row and always you are on top, keep on. Congrats and thanks. "
" I would say Avis - Budget, at least un Munich, Service excellent, nice almost brand new car (800+ Km). "
" easy to book, i needed a small car and a good price this was the best deal and a well equipped car, with cruise control, AC and heated seatsdefinitely use again "
" 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 "
" very easy to pick up the car at the airport. car was excellent. everything went according to plan, no hidden costs. "
" Excellent thanks "
" Service time ok, better than some of the other desks "
" Some issues when trying to find out height of vehicle. "
" Very efficient service at AVIS. Upgrade from a Fiat Scudo to MB Vito automatic, pleasant surprise. Very rapid check in for vehicle return, probably saved us from missing our flight.. "
" Perfect, it always works well. "
" Staff could make an effort to be friendly, unless this is against the German law. "
" really friendly staff and excellent service many thanks for kicking off our holiday with a great start "
" We picked up from Europcar - a little confusing to say it was ALAMO.... "
" EUROPCAR had prepared the vehicle perfectly. "
" Good price, timely, and comprehensive documentation "
" I ordered automatic Mercedes A Class, but got Hyundai i30 automatic. As I understand it, these cars are about the same price and i30 a good car, but Hyundai will never be Mercedes. I wanted to try the A Class. I'm disappointed "
" I will book again. "
" Use different cars. I had a new modell Opel astra station with a new ecoflex engine but the fuel consumption from around 10l/100km in the city is too much. Also there was a problem with the window seal in the rear and water was in the car when it rains. "
" The car was excellent as was the service i did however feel that the excess was a little high and would have prefered to pay more to remove it. "
" excellent service "
