" Straightforward but the hire experience on the ground was anything but. "
" Chaos at the desk. I believe that that they had just had a bad experience with a separate customer and their systems were apparently down, but they appeared not to know about my booking initially, then we were handed keys to a car and simply told it was an upgrade (but who knows?). They of course spent their time trying to flog me additional no cover insurance (which I had already got from you but which undermined my confidence in my booking with you) and the car had a gouge in the rear offside wing which hadn't been noted (the metal work was punctured), it had various other scuffs and the fuel wasn't full (though we handed it back full). On the return an Avis chap in the car park asked for the key and asked me to sign a hand held computer pad. The document I have received by email, subsequently, appears to claim that 3.63 euros is due on figures that bear little resemblance to my hire with you and it would seem that a dispute is looming. I go through you to avoid this hassle. "

" Always use Auto Europe. I have been using them for 15 years!! "
" The French agencies must start to provide winter tyres as a standard inclusion for visitors to the Alps. It is ridiculous that they charge a huge supplement for this. "

" The experience with Auto Europe was very good, and Enterprise were really excellent, nothing too much trouble.. bit of a surprise after so many average to bad experiences "
" Excellent, provided fast and very good customer service. extremely satisfied "
" Simple process to use and good value, especially with offers. Very impressed with the ease to re-book the car hire from another airport, after our initial flight was cancelled. Thank you for your help... Keep up the good work, I'll be booking again soon! "
" New systems were being installed when we collected the car, so the paper work process was a little lengthy. Staff were friendly and helpful, and one in particular went out of his way to ensure we were sure about where we could buy food for our apartment, and the nearest fuel station for filling up on the return trip. We were very happy with Citer and do not blame the staff for any delay, and would recommend their company. "
" 1.5 hours to get car & 40 mins to return it. Everyone very pleasant but too few staff. Also I was assured that 1000 euros deposit would be credited back this Monday, but I'd have liked a credit receipt. "

" Cheapest i found on the web, car was brand new. "
" Large queue at the desk to collect car, it took me over 45minutes after arriving at the desk until i got the car. The staff did not seem to be dealing with customers very quickly - perhaps they could have had more staff working. I also rented snow chains, for some reason my credit card was charged three times instead of once for this, to date i have only been refunded once, i am yet to recieve a second refund. "
" web site worked well, found it via money supermarket or some other comparison site. email conformation was good. overall pretty much perfect. "
" Grenoble car hire was great, car was pretty new, clean, tidy, and well spec'd with a usb charger point and cruse control. Staff were fast and efficiently, spoke English well. Car was parked nice and close, and the hire desk place was right outside the airport door. I was really happy with the service and car. My only criticism is the Hyundai IX20 diesel was a bit powerless at overtaking, but it was very very good on fuel! "
" All my hires are with A-E. Perfect! "
" Typically French: impersonal, misinforming ("car parked just outside"..spent 20 mins looking for it. had to come back to office and go together: car some 300 metres away, behind 2 fences and a road in between). All this at night in freezing temperature. Also excessive waiting to collect:30 mins. No excuses or apologies. "
" the car and the customer service were perfect, "
" the car and the customer service were perfect, the only small thing i would improve is that the car would have benefited from having snow tires fitted, especially in winter in this part of the world. "
" When requesting snow chains I was told by an Auto Europe advisor that they wouldn't be necessary even though we were driving into the high alps. Regardless of what the request is, surely the customer is always right? The morning we drove from our chalet police were inforcing the use of chains in order to drive off the mountain. It was a good thing we persisted and got them. "
" We use National the majority of the time we go to France and usually book directly with them. We often get an upgrade, the cars are always spotless and check in and out is very quick. The excess on the insurance was particularly high this time, not that it mattered. "
" Everything when very smoothly, from booking, to picking the car up, to returning it. "
" Good English spoken by the staff which is always good for us English people who are rubbish at speaking other languages! Quick and easy pick up, quick and easy drop off. The only issue I would mention, is that this is the second time we have hired in France and requested an estate car, but got a Meriva/People carrier. This isnt an estate and its a bit decieving. It fits no more luggage or people in than a normal car!! The first time I thought it was a mistake, but as it happened again, I presume this is just what is considered an estate - despite the fact the photo on the car hire website clearly shows an Estate car - ie a normal car with a huge boot.
