" I have used Auto Europe a few times and would happily do so again. "
" I hired a Mercedes Vito 9 cruiser van with manual drive and was given an automatic. Condition of van was OK, but it was very old (Reg BB 03 MD) which I think was at least 20 years old and therefore did not have specification I was expecting e.g. no rear reversing camera etc. I would expect a newer vehicle for the £550 I paid for week's rental.

" Good price, slick check-in and return despite how busy it was. "
" Very quickly through the process. Bit of a wait for car to be delivered to the station in the car parking area. Great support from one of the team when we returned the car. He saw that my wife and I were struggling with our luggage - my wife is a wheelchair user. He helped us all the way to the check-in desk which was a life-saver! "

" Auto Europe should investigate this incident thoroughly and ensure steps are taken to prevent other British customers from being unnecessarily charged in the future. "
" Unfortunately, this is the second time I've had a disappointing experience with Goldcar rental. While the desk clerk was very friendly, it was clear that there is a strong push to sell Goldcar's own comprehensive insurance. Despite having purchased full comprehensive insurance in the UK, Goldcar did not recognize it. As a result, they demanded a deposit of €3,500 on my UK credit card. Since my card limit is £2,000, I was left with no option but to purchase Goldcar's full comprehensive insurance, which cost an additional €348.11. Only after receiving the contract did I realize that I could have paid the €3,500 deposit using a debit card, with the amount fully reimbursed upon returning the car undamaged. This option was never explained to me at the desk. When I later raised the issue via email, I was told that the required deposit should have been between €1,200 and €1,600--an amount that my credit card could have covered. Therefore, the purchase of Goldcar's insurance should not have been necessary at all. Goldcar refused to refund the €348.11 I was unnecessarily charged, despite reaching out to them twice via email.

" Last 2 times my experience with Centauro weren't the best. This last one in August they told us the credit card wasn't working, but I don't know if was my credit card or were the MB machines. Because they had 3 machines and just one , they told me , was working. After spend more than 30 minutes trying solve the situation, they told us to pay an insurance of 220 euros or so, but in this case they accepted the debit card. And was the way to get the car. "

" We are GOLDCAR clients for sometime, especial at Faro Airport, but this time went to Lisbon and was an absolute chaos. Doesn't make any sense, taking the ticket to make the contract in one building with a few counters waiting an hour or so and when is your turn you're redirect to another counter in another building. Did not happened with us specifically but with other families with young children and loads of bags, just awful, no empathy what so ever. On arrival, we had 18 people waiting to be checked in. We have to wait more than an hour only to make the contract. The staff member at the counter was polite and quick to answer any questions but unfortunately after waiting an hour for this, they did not have the car that we had booked, so they have to give us another one (upgraded- not much) that we could choose. After that we went to collect the car in another building, first floor of car park. Over there we were asked at least 3 to 4 times by different members of staff what was the contract number to get the car. In the end, when finally the car arrives driven by a member of staff, surprise, we had another member of staff, with his headphones around the head getting a lift to reach his destination that was exactly the place that we were waiting for the car. To finish, the interior of the car was dirty, full of dust. Not happy at all with, GOLDCAR service and staff at Lisbon Airport. A shame for an old car rental name which is not the most cheapest one.

" We have used klasswagon before and not had any issues. Now we will steer clear and I suggest your company does the same. "
" The rep wouldn't accept my credit card because it had my initial for my first name instead of my full name. This was despite showing him the card number was exactly the same as the one made for the booking. After 30 mins and me having to go into my internet bank account and prove my details showing him personal details he should not be looking at he begrudgingly accepted my card. We have been hiring cars in Portugal for many years using the same credit card. We have NEVER had an issue. It was disgraceful and obviously a tactic to get us to buy their insurance even though we have our own excess policy. When we received the car there were at least 50 plus small scratches on the paintwork even though only 10 were marked on the paperwork. We had to spend 30 mins photographing every single one which is just as well as on return they wanted a photo of one of the scratches even though it was one which was marked on the paperwork. If we hadn't have had the photos they would have ripped us off. "

" 1. Enforce Transparent Insurance Policies Clarify third-party coverage: Ensure Klass Wagen staff respect insurance purchased through Auto Europe and stop undermining its validity. Pre-arrival briefing: Auto Europe could send a clear summary of what insurance is included, what's optional, and what to expect at pickup. Cap excess amounts: Advocate for more reasonable excess fees or offer capped excess options directly through Auto Europe. Express check-in limitations: Highlight that Klass Wagen's online express check-in process requires purchasing their insurance, limiting usability for customers with third-party coverage. 2. Monitor and Train Partner Staff Mystery audits: Conduct regular mystery shopper audits to assess pressure tactics and compliance with ethical standards. Staff training: Require Klass Wagen to train staff in respectful upselling, not fear-based persuasion. Penalty for misconduct: Introduce consequences for repeated complaints, including delisting or reduced visibility on Auto Europe's platform. 3. Improve Booking Transparency Highlight debit card policies: Make it crystal clear if debit card users will face extra charges or insurance requirements. Show real costs upfront: Include all mandatory fees (e.g. Via Verde, cleaning, tolls) in the quote to avoid surprise charges. Vehicle condition guarantee: Push for minimum standards on vehicle age and condition, especially when customers report receiving scratched or high-mileage cars. 4. Offer a "Trusted Partner" Tier Create a badge system for rental companies that consistently meet customer satisfaction benchmarks. Klass Wagen could earn back trust by meeting criteria like fair insurance practices, fast check-in, and clean vehicles. "
" Disappointing pressure tactics at pickup When collecting the car from KLASS WAGEN, I was met with intense pressure to purchase their own excess & insurance. The staff were extremely persuasive -- using tactics that felt more like intimidation than information. They repeatedly emphasized the high excess, described worst-case scenarios in alarming detail, and made it seem almost reckless not to buy their coverage, despite me already having valid insurance. It felt less like a choice and more like coercion. The excess itself is unreasonably high, which only adds to the pressure. I understand upselling is part of the business, but this approach crosses a line. Sadly, it left a sour impression on what should have been a straightforward rental experience. "

" As this was our first experience with Centauro, there are a couple of points worth mentioning: 1) There is no clear indication of where the transfer bus is located – so we decided to get a taxi as we were already late for the car pickup, which leads me to point 2 2) The Centauro office address on the car rental agreement is out of date, and they have left that office for over a year now. 3) When we arrived at Centauro, we were told there wasn't any cars available for the category we have purchased. So we have decided to wait, as they were offering a very low category car for us. Then the availability was just for an automatic car, which we declined. Then the car we were given had an accident in their car park and there weren't any cars available – which is the car reg we have the receipt for. We then asked what cars they had available to take straight away and they had a Renault Clio, which we decided to accept. I then asked what to do, since the category was below the one we had purchased on, and verbally they told us to return the car with half the deposit instead of full deposit. As we didn't have any written word on it, we returned the car with full deposit. 4) I have now received their final bill. They took 156€ initially for tolls and everything else, of which they only returned 38.58€ - they have charged us 17.42€ for excess amount (which is acceptable as this is for the tolls, via verde as they called it) and 100€ for deposit amount. Can someone please explain why I have been charged 100 € for deposit??? "

I was not told this was going to be charged either at the time of booking or when we picked the car up at the airport? The whole experience with EuropCar was really good. The booking, the staff at the airport desk, the staff on return etc. But this extra cost has left a sour taste in my mouth.

" Had to cancel the rental at the counter as the employee was trying to make me pay for cleaning fees without even taking the car out and tried several tactics to make me take out their full cover even though I had already paid for that with auto Europe. Not very happy with auto Europe now as I'm trying to get my money back for a booking I was forced to cancel at the counter because of fees that were not mentioned anywhere in the agreement and struggling to get help with this situation. Not use Klass Wagen ever again and seriously considering to stop using auto Europe "

" Waited a long time at reception for them to find a car for us (clearly they didn't have one available), eventually they told us to go to the pick up point where we were presented with a standard 2-door mini. For four adults, one of which was wearing a surgical boot after rupturing his achilles. We had booked an intermediate SUV. Another long wait for an alternative to be delivered from elsewhere, and the car was still smaller than ordered (Citroen C4). No remorse, no apology. Terrible service. "

" When we arrived, after a bit of a wait, the counter staff gave us a significant vehicle upgrade, as they no longer had any cars of the class we'd booked. Given the small roads we were driving on, we didn't really want such a large vehicle, but had no choice. The car itself was fine: no issues and excellent value for money had we wanted such a large car. The return process seemed very expedient. But it was only when we got home that I noticed we'd been charged €25 for fuel, when we'd completely refilled the car just before its return. "

" Generally I've always been happy with autoeurope & the companies they deal with. But not in this case. "
" 1. It was not clear where the pick up was. Hence I wasted time trying to find the pick having to ask a number of different hire companies. 2. The time taken to rent the car was ridiculous at least an hour. I even rang your office to cancel the hire but was advised it was too late to cancel and I therefore had to go ahead with the hire 3. I never received any T& Cs from the hire company regarding what was & what was not covered. 4. I believe I've been misled & taken advantage of by the hire company. When I eventually got to the counter I was told that the cover I'd bought from you only covered the excess. It did not cover any loss or damage to the car over and above the excess. That was my responsibility. In all the years of hiring cars I've never heard of this. In spite of my protestations he was adamant that what he was saying was correct so I was either responsible for loss or damage above the excess or I had to buy the full cover through them. I felt I had no option other than to buy their cover. "

" Overall taking away the cleanliness of the vehicle and having to deal with a screen instead of a human being on collection was a good experience and I had also hired through yourselves a last year and that was a great experience that's why I booked again for this summer. Maybe I will book again next year if the price is reasonable, at the end of the day its all about the cost and service. "
" When I got to pick up point staff not really helpful, I had to use a screen and input all the information again even though everything including all details were imputed at the time of the original booking. The car was great but on collection noticed that it needed a wash as the windscreen was full of dry insects and the interior also needed a clean so the the following day I took the car to be washed and vacuumed as it was hard to get proper visibility from the screen. But everything else was fine. "

" Poor transfers to/from airport. Good vehicle and some excellent customer service form individuals. "
" We waited for nearly 45 minutes for a shuttle from the airport to depot. On our arrival at the depot, the young man at the desk was very helpful and very well mannered/ kind. The checking of the car was overly fastidious and responsibility placed very much on us to document all marks and scratches, On our return to the depot, the car was barely checked, raising questions about why we spent additional money on insurance. The female driver who took us back to the airport drove dangerously fast, to the point that we all felt uncomfortable/ concerned, including accelerating towards and shooting through a red light. When stopped at traffic lights later, she immediately got her phone out and was looking at social media, and missed the light turning green. It was a relief to get out at the airport. "

" I have already recommended Auto-Europe. "
" Upon arrival at Tangerine I was initially asked what time I would need to drop the car off when returning it. As we had a flight to catch i said it would be 7am. I was told that they would not be open at 7am, and as they had no key safe (as all other car hire companies do), I was told I had to pay them 55Euro to have someone available to receive the car and provide the shuttle service service to the airport. After that, I was then told that I had to pay another 27Euro for the "hire" of the gadet to automate the Toll payment. I have never had to pay separately for this before. I was then told that "optionally" I could pay them 138Euro as insurance for if the car broke down and I needed to be recovered! This is outrageous, and I declined - despite the hardsell and the waring that if I di break down I would have to cover the cost of well over 150 Euro. These are all complete scams designed to bump up the cost. The car I was given was filthy and was covered in scratches and dings - I had to spend at least 30 minutes with a member of their staff to catalogue and agree every single scratch and scrape! I was then told I would receive a copy of the contract and vehicle condition report by email. I have yet to receive anything from them, despite having sent at least two emails asking for the docs. A very frustrating experience - I will never use Tangerine again "

I also find it poor to have to remember having it back - again and again ! I spoke with two persons prior to my departure, and they gave a promise that is not yet fulfilled. And if I forget to follow up - it is lost money ! So I am not so happy about this. Hope you do something to make me happier about the rental from you .

" I was very unhappy with the service from Sixt when I received the car - as they tried to rent a much smaller car to me than I had rented and said the rented car was not available. They did not have the same type of car available (then just for much more money, 20-30 EUR each day). And then they are also cheating and charging more than I had signed - (102 EUR instead of 63 EUR) higher amount for the oil - and also gave me no option regarding how the oil would be when returning - just said best to return with an empty tank. The tank was so big that I did not use half of the oil, still driving more than 600 kilometers. So they definitely cheated on me with the oil !, not happy. In the end - after I had argued with them for 30-40 minutes, they came with a car that was very satisfying, and similar to what I ordered - but they were not giving to give me that car ! "

" The first advert for Auto Express said that pick up and drop off was from the Airport, it wasnt there was a shuttle to collect the car, and i had to drop the car off at the same location which meant that i spent almost an hour driving round Lisbon because it was on the other side of the carriageway. I was also caught with an extra charge for the VIA VERDE which was more than the hire cost. Finally I believe i my leather cowboy hat was left in the transfer from the airport but not reported ??? It has English supplier details in the inside in gold writing. The problem was who do i contact and how, so i am taking this opportunity to report it, so can someone please check with the driver. "

" Horrible experience. I arrived at the meeting place at 8.05 pm. There was no one there, I went to the car rental balconies, after that to the car rental car park, and no info about BERENT. It was a co-worker from another company who told me that I should be at the taxi waiting area and call the shuttle. 8.15pm I called them and they told me that the shuttle left at 8pm at point... So zero waiting tolerance at an airport and I was 5 minutes late because of the passport control. No calls from them, no email saying where to go, no SMS about if I was in the airport or not. Unbelievable. In the end I payed 73€ for them to come to pick me at the airport. How should I know that they aren't located at the airport? How should I know where to go? Where is the customer experience to tell me where I am, where I should go, the zero waiting time tolerance...? Very dissapointing! "

" The experience left me puzzled. I should have noticed the issue of the glass and tyre insurance, so that is me not checking carefully enough. Been renting in Lisbon for over 40 years and this has never happened to me before. "
" When I rented the car I took out the full insurance with you apart from the passenger cover. I was told that the glass and tires were not insured so I had to pay extra for that. Drop off the guy inspecting the car told me there was minor damage to the drivers mirror. I hardly used the car and it was parked off the road nearly all the time. The damage would only have been possible when the car was driven, mirrors fold inwards. I did not hit anyone, one had to almost use a magnifying glass to see this little scratch. He also went with a torch underneath the car. Then I go the report saying that the car was moderately dirty inside, apart from the drivers floor well nothing else had been used, no rubbish left by me in the car. So totally annoyed as you can understand. Also yet to receive the final invoice. So althogether not a good experience "

" Worked out great this time. No queues first thing in the morning. Quick and efficient pickup with absolutely no pressure to buy additional insurance. 45000km vehicle with a number of undocumented minor scratches and dings. There's no one around to acknowledge and sign off on any existing damage so make sure to inspect carefully and get plenty of photos. Return was quick and efficient. I was a bit concerned about the prior damage but none of it was noticed during the return inspection. I guess they must have a pretty high damage threshold. Toll charges appeared on my credit card a few days after the return for exactly the amount I had expected. The overall cost was a bit more expensive than the off airport alternatives but the premium is fair for the location, convenience and time savings. "

Only downside is having to wait a bit for the bus to take you to their rental building (about 5 min drive away from the airport) and then wait for your turn once you get there. However compared to Europcar, who are located at the airport itself, it might actually result in time saving given the huge amount of time they take to see people - and about half the price!

" Overall not a good experience. I am surprised they have worked with Klass Wagan who are essentially running a scam. "
" The Klass Wagen representative was rude, aggressive, extremely manipulative and tried to take advantage of the fact we were two young girls hiring a car. He tried to pressure us into getting the extraordinarily expensive Klass Wagen insurance as the insurance that I had purchased through auto europe apparently did not cover small dings etc (which we would be liable for). I explained that it was okay as we have third party insurance for this. He proceeded to get very angry, intimidating and was pushing a card machine at me in an aggressive manner - he tried everything he could to try and distress and confuse me into purchasing their insurance, repeatedly mentioning police reports, and trying to claim that my third party insurance wasn't valid. He got even more angry when I became distressed and phoned my lawyer for advice. He walked away and we could over hear him going through the same process of hassling another customer trying to make him pay for the extra insurance. Extremely unprofessional and threatening environment was made by this individual which I assume is due to the company offering commission for up-selling to their insurance. Avoid this company at all costs - it simple isn't worth it - they are running a sophisticated scheme to take as much money from customers as possible. Regardless of this, the car they provided only had 1/4 of a tank of petrol despite us being told it would have a half tank, and the car itself was in terrible condition - absolutely covered in dents and scratches. Save yourself the hassle and expense and go with a different company. "

They're NOT (see above for problems) it's only when your print the voucher that you find this out, so that's a misrepresantation at time of booking. Won't be using Auto Europe again, couldn't recommend either unless I get my 114 euro "fuel deposit" back which I wasn't told about when booking another misrepresentation.

Took me an hour to find their rep and had to wait 40 mins for the single 8 seater shuttle bus to work through a qeue of about 25 people. When we got to the office we waited another hour to be processed. The car was not inspected by Centauro so we were told to take a video/photos of any damage which took another 15 mins, pleased I did. I didnt get a contract at the time because it was emailed to me (took about an hour to arrive).

" As mentioned above, to my knowledge I was paying a price to rent a car. This was not the case at the Klass Wagen counter where I was told that that price was a reservation fee and I ended up having to pay more than double the price just to secure the car. The Auto Europe call centre staff were pleasant on the phone and on email. However, I have had no communication yet from Auto Europe regarding the situation and any possible resolution about it.. "
" Hi. I rented a car from Klaas Wagen through Auto Europe with the understanding that what I was paying for was the fee of the car rental. The Klaas Wagen rep told me it was a reservation fee and did not cover the car rental. I arrived in Lisbon on the night of 29th October 2023 and upon arriving at Klaas Wagen rental company at around 10:30pm I was informed by the Klass Wagen rep by the name of Ruben Correia that the Auto Europe car rental voucher was a reservation fee and did not constitute a hire agreement or cover the costs of the car rental. He gave me two options. Option 1 : I had to pay €100 rental fee for the car hire directly to them. Paying this I would have a €2400.00 excess block on my credit card. Option 2: if I paid an additional €100 they would waive the excess with full cover. I questioned him about this and showed him the Auto Europe voucher printout and that I had already paid for the car hire but he was adamant and wouldn't accept it as a rental agreement and that I had to pay an additional €100 to rent the car, this was non negotiable.. As a result of this I also opted to pay the excess waiver of an additional €100 too as I did not want to take any risks with damage and my trust in Auto Europe had been eroded as I was not expecting this at the Klaas Wagen rental counter. I notified Auto Europe on phone and in writing the following day as well as Klaas Wagen. I was informed by Auto Europe correspondence to fill out this form once the rental was completed. Can you give me some clarity on this please as I feel like I have been horribly misled either by Auto Europe or Klaas Wagen. Regards Andrew "

" Goldcar at Lisbon airport give appalling service and I will never rent with them again. The car wasn't ready at pickup but no one bothered to even tell me - they just left me hanging around in the car park with other customers. When I asked if there was a problem they just shrugged their shoulders and said that the car was being cleaned. No apology. We waited 45 minutes for the car. "

" The service was very inefficient. There were no signs at the airport or instructions to find the minibus. It said there was an office at the airport and there is not. The counter staff were very slow which meant we were waiting a long time to get served. 200 Euros was taken from my credit card for their use in case I did not pay for fuel and tolls. I paid all tolls as I used the car and the car was only 3/4s full of fuel when I collected it (I took a picture) and I filled it more when I returned it (I took a picture). To date this has not been returned in full to my card. I am going to follow up once and then look to main a small courts claim from Autoeurope group. IN the past car hire companies have put a block on the amount required however this company actually takes the money. I will be writing other reviews telling people not to use Autoeurope. "

" 1st of all I would like to point out how happy I am I rented the car with full insurance, as at check-in damages that were already in the car previously were pointed out as done by me, they probably use full insured cars to maintain their fleet (insurance fraud) but at least I won't have to be one paying for it. Apart from this service is a disgrace, we want forever both at check-in and checkout, they don't block the credit card, they actually take the money out, which I'm still waiting to be refunded, and use not so honest tactics to not refund value they take out of the card.

" I an very disappointed with the overall experience. I know it's entirely down to Goldcar for supplying us with an un roadworthy car but I feel Auto Europe should insist on better service from the companies they use to provide vehicles for their customers. "
" After the chaos of the queues at the check in desk finally getting to pick up our car the staff were nowhere to be found in the car park, just randomly wandering about with no interest in engaging with the customers. On being given the keys to an Astra I had to make my way around several other cars to gain access to the drivers door as it was parked up against a pillar making it very difficult to get into the car. The damage sheet for the car was incredible, it looked like it had come from Beirut! It was not possible to fully inspect the car as the car park was dark and there were so many people trying to get in and out of parking spaces etc that it was also dangerous. When we finally had our luggage in the car and went to leave we found that there was no fuel in the car. The staff then gave us the keys to another vehicle, a Crossland which also looked like it had come from a war zone. After carefully leaving the airport and heading out of Lisbon I was driving towards a toll barrier, pressed the brake pedal to discover that the brake pads were down to the metal! There was also a very loud whirring noise coming from a c/v joint on one of the drive shafts. A few days later while in the town of Caramulo for the motor festival the release button on the hand brake on the car fell out locking the hand brake on. It took me nearly half an hour to release the hand brake before I could move the car. As a result of the dangerous condition of the car we didn't attend the second day of the motor festival as we couldn't risk driving on the mountain roads, so I phoned the Faro office and arranged to exchange the vehicle on the Monday. That was another day of our holiday wasted as it was a five hour drive with over 40 Euros in tolls but ultimately easier than trying to get back into Lisbon in heavy traffic with defective brakes. "

" As per #3 Auto Europe are good - Centauro - NO, NO, NO!!!!! "
" Additional costs and terrible pick-up. Finding the pick-up location was not easy - and required alot of asking around. Arriving at the office we waited for 1.5 hours before meeting a customer service rep - not impressed. Though I booked insurance through auto-europe, Centauro wanted an additional EU1000 as a guarantee - or - take out insurance with them an additional EU230. Pay 18.65 for a toll activation - as well as the toll itself - total scam. The car was good, the drop-off was easy - though final cost was exorbitant - and feels like we were scammed. "

Anyway, on this occasion there were three specific negatives - the attitude of the man on the desk, being stung for €32.52 for arriving after 11pm, and being forced to pay in GBP rather than Euros - the first time I've ever experienced this abroad.

" Although booked as Enterprise at Lisbon Airport, the vehicle was actually provided by Guerin, and had over 50,000 kilometres on the odometer and various pre-existing damage when allocated to us. On returning the vehicle the staff then accused me of causing various aspects of the damage, and charged me nearly 300 Euros as a consequence, as I had overlooked two items of damage (a scrape on the underside of the vehicle and a scuff on one alloy wheel) when I photographed parts on the car before we left the dark and cramped parking garage. Fortunately I took out the extra cover insurance and will claim a refund, but I will certainly not rent from Guerin again, and will check to see if Enterprise sub-contract their service at other airports in future, as their good name is being sullied.

" Everything went well with AutoEurope on this experience. "
" The car was in really bad shape. Lots of scratches, bents and not well cleaned. There were some squeaky sounds on the steering wheel and on the sliding door as well. There lacked also 2 covers for both front wheels, making the outside look of the car a disaster. The car was delivered to me with the tyres with low pressure and with no water to clean the windshield. As for the rest of the renting experience, everything went well. "

" Booking with Auto Europe is easy , well explained and offers good value for money. "
" The counter staff at Lisbon Airport were efficient and helpful , however the handover of the vehicle is rushed , they leave it to you to inspect the vehicle giving no information regarding any existing defects . You are emailed the rental agreement and left to go on your way . On return the drop off is hectic with numerous vehicles being dropped off at the same time , the staff member checked the vehicle and stated all was in order but no information is given as to when your deposit will be refunded . We later received an email stating that no new damage had been caused but it also showed two areas of previously reported damage . To improve the service more information should be given at the time of collection showing existing damage and the timescales for the return of the refund . I have no problem with AutoEurope but Sixt could improve their procedures . "

" As usual, the booking and support processes were faultless. It is a shame that Auto Europe use partner companies such as AVIS. "
" Apologies for the late review, I have just discovered your review email in my junk folder. So, here goes:- The car we ordered was a Toyota CHR Hybrid SUV. On arrival at the AVIS desk I was informed that this vehicle was not available, the only available hybrid being a Toyota Corolla. I was told that there were no similar SUVs available but that I could purchase an upgrade. I do not consider that a Toyota Corolla is a suitable replacement for a Toyota CHR SUV. The cabin space is much smaller, and we could only manage to fit 3 suitcases into the boot by dropping one of the rear seats forward! It's a good job that there were only 3 people in our party. Having paid over £800 for this rental, the whole AVIS rental experience left me feeling cheated! "

It was very uncomfortable and irritating after a long flight and paying car insurance to your company and then having to buy more insurance from them or put a hold on our credit card of over 1200 Euros. At the end we feel that we overpaid for everything and received the worst service possible. This is no way to run a business, this is the sencond time which we used Centaura in 2 years and both occassions were a nightmare. "

" The booking process and the vehicle were fine, but the shambles at Lisbon Airport will put me off ever renting a car there again - although Europcar, Avis, Alamo etc were definitely more efficient at moving their waiting clients along. All the queues were completely unacceptable for a major airport. Hertz/Thrifty were easily the worst and there were a lot of very unhappy people - with good reason. We do not blame Auto Europe for the lack of organisation by Hertz/Thrifty, but we will never book an Hertz or Thrifty vehicle again. However, Auto Europe should be made aware of the dire situation at Lisbon Airport (which I understand is not unusual). "
" We had to queue for 2.5 hours to get to the counter at Lisbon Airport and then it was another half hour to complete the paperwork and pick up the vehicle. The car hire section of the airport was complete CHAOS but Thrifty/Hertz were by far the worst for queues and service. The vehicle, when we FINALLY got it was fine. The return was slightly better as the vehicle queue into the auto returns was long and slow but luckily we were guided around the main queue into the Hertz return section, which was not busy. "

As a consequence of not being given toll cards we were charged Euros 51 at the first toll because the system does not work. I saw the Etoll unit on the car and thought that tolling would be automatic, but no. All because we did not have a human to talk to at the sign in. Machines are NOT the answer. "
" We were told to use the machines to log in for our car as we had pre booked. Initially we had a little help from the two staff but soon this was impossible as demand for their services was overwhelming. Machine was not intuitive for me and I was unable to ask questions on the toll system in Portugal. Machine doesn't talk. Had to be told where to pick the car up and had to get the car scanned for its minor damage as we had no data to link photos taken as per the machines instruction to my wife's mobile.

" If rental companies can get away with these tactics autoeurope will have to rethink about the rational for competing with them. What happened was manageable because I could pay the difference, but this could have had far more serious consequences, and at the end of the day I bought the service from autoeurope. "
" The first impact was me and my family arriving to the pick up 4 hours after the time we'd included on the reservation and being told we'd lost our reservation. Then the staff told us that because we booked via autoeurope we only had 2 hours to collect the vehicle (I was shocked as I dis not read this in any step of the booking process and have never heard a similar clause with any of the other rental companies). I then asked for an alternative and said I was ok to pay a bit extra if required to be able to have a vehicle. The staff proposed a vehicle that costed an additional £1000 and I asked for anything cheaper. They did find another vehicle that was an additional £600 which I had no other option than accepting. It felt like entrapment and extortion, and Hertz clearly hasn't realised that they will only do this once and that no customer will return. I will be weary of making more bookings via autoeurope until I have more clarity on how rental companies can behave like this. The vehicle was poorly cleaned with sunscreen stains on the dashboard and seats, and one of the tyres was a bit low. Not what you expect when you are forced to pay £170/day for a car, no matter how fancy it is. "

" The price is rather fair but the vehicle has to be returned spotlessly clean. If it is not returned as clean as when you picked it up, you'll have to pay a 25 euro fee. Alternatively you can pay 10 euros on pick up to cover those same expenses. There seemed to be zero flexibility on the vehicle returning time. Also, since I had a 3rd party insurance, my deposit was close to 2000 euros. Other than that, the staff was very nice and the car was in perfect condition. "

" If I had a GPS I am sure it would have been a whole lot better. Don't say you will meet people at the airport if you don't mean it. "
" Firstly I was not met at the airport.(10,30pm) My phone did not work so I had to ask someone else to phone after walking all over the airport trying to find Rentastar. Took a long time and then collected. (11.30pm) I paid for the GPS (extra) and was advise I have to bring the car back clean or pay 10 euros for them to wash it. After paying this the GPS did not work and they could not get it to work. I ordered a car with GPS. Very poor light so very difficult in the dark at 1 am in the morning for scratches and dents and given a car that was not full there fore difficult to measure when returning it. Hence they got a car with a full tank and I didn't. Eventually I followed the driver who collected me from the airport to the Holiday Inn Express near the airport. 2 am without a GPS. When returning the car there was a long wait as 3 new rentals were being attended to and whilst waiting three drop offs occurred. The car was fine. I am now expecting a refund of the GPS and the car wash in lieu of the extra petrol I put in. The staff did their best they could at the time but do not feel My experience was a great one. "

The employee didn't move from behind the counter, and said that on those cars (Renault Captur) the level was always just below "1".

At the drop-off, a different employee said he was very sorry. However, that apology cost me some 10 Euros. Will take a picture next time that happens.

" Autoeurope is AMAZING! "
" Renting with this company for about 3 years. Service is mixed, sometimes quick and efficient, other times less so. Waiting time to be picked up at the Airport is still too long - having to wait for more than 45 minutes one time - and occasionally have had to get a cab to the agency. This inconvenience is unacceptable, since the rental agreement includes pick/drop off and the office is a 3mnt drive. The staff's attitude to this shortfall seem to be reliant on the fact that their cars are exclusive and massively discounted, in comparison with other providers, which I agree, however, it does not justify the service. The last time time I rented was great, massive improvement on the service and I would love for it to keep on. "

" Online booking of the rental was good. SixT desk at the airport was very busy - 30 mins wait - but completion of the rental process was very efficient. "
" The car drop off at Lisbon airport was a nightmare! The SixT drop-off point in the main car rental building was closed, and there was no information as to the location of the temporary drop-off point. We were told by another car rental company's employee that the SixT drop-off point was in Car Park 3. Eventually, after driving around Lisbon airports one way system for 25 mins and after asking a friendly policeman for the location of Car Park 3, we managed to return the car. Given that SixT were provided with my email address at the rental desk at the start of the rental period, an email informing me of the closure of the drop-off point and the location of the temporary one shouldn't have been a problem! Not impressed! "

" The car was very good but I wasn't happy about the wash charge. "
" It's off airport site and there was no one to pick us up. It said someone would meet us with a sign. After a phone call a van was sent but it had no company name on it and didn't stop so we had to phone again. Luckily for us there was a Portuguese speaker in our party otherwise I'm not sure how we would have managed. At the end of the hire there was a compulsory car wash charge of 15 euro which we didn't know about. Wasn't very happy but no option but to pay. "

" Why say "we have no other vehicles", then give you what you expected to receive initially (but almost 40 minutes later......................)? "
" First vehicle given Fiat TIPO, with broken rear wiper and broken load cover/blind, so rejected. Second vehicle given Fiat TIPO with broken load cover/blind also rejected. Both these cars had multiple bumps/dings/scratches also. Finally I was given a BMW 116? which was totally perfect and in very good condition, (despite the hand-over staff prevoiusly advising no other vehicles other than the Fiat TIPOS's were available)! The time taken for all this reorganisation was VERY inconvenient (more than 30 or 40 minutes wasted). "

" I intend to call for advice. "
" We were told to pick up the car from a badly lit parking bay at the airport. No one came with us to inspect the vehicle. We were told that everything smaller than 3cm could be ignored. We were not told that windscreen chips any bigger than 3mm would be charged. A piece of paper given to us had this written in extremely small font and pixelated fonts that were impossible to read. Upon return, the car was inspected under strong floodlights and the inspector immediately reported a chip on the windscreen that we believe must have been there all along. I tried to argue that we were told that we had not been super meticulous on the collection because we were told nothing smaller than 3cm needed to be reported and we ourselves did not notice any impact that could have caused the small chip. The car was only driven in the city itself. As we were running out of time to catch our plane, we had to sign so we could leave. We were given an estimate bill for repair of 138.99 and a second receipt for 185,06 that included minus a "pre-paid" amount of 26,76, so I had to pay an extra 158,30. They could not explain how the bill came to this value and whether this is the end of it. This was very stressful and although I love autoeurope, I would never use Budget again. "

They left me to sort it out with you. I told them Im not going to call anyone or going anywhere - I have paid, I want the car. They gave me a MPV (bigger car than what I paid for which is all they had) when they realized they cant do much and I wont drive a manual.

On this occasion we were very disappointed to be charged a €45 fee for picking up the car at 6.45pm when we had booked it for a 4.00pm pick-up. The counter staff claimed that it was a recognised 'late fee' even though there was no mention of such a condition in the rental agreement terms and conditions.

" Very long wait time (45 mins+) at pickup desk despite only a few people in the queue in front of us - no apology from staff. Very poor customer service. The booked vehicle was 'unavailable' so we were given a very battered and beaten up Fiat Panda with many dents and marks. A terrible car to drive so we only drove it to and from the airport and no more than that. Upon returning the car, the receiving agent tried to claim some of the pre-existing dents were caused by us - but luckily we had carefully logged all the damage on pickup and pointed it all out to the pickup clerk.

Also, few weeks before checkout date I wanted to change my booking to another company, I made these changes in my account and got approval.

I changed this car after few hours, and after 7 days received email about scratch that they want me to pay for it (about 200 EUR). They also wrote that they made an Expertise and they are sure that it was my fault. Good for me that when I took the car I made a video with all scratches and this one was there too... So, no excuses for broken car, but please pay for scratches that not yours. Be careful and pay attention for all smallest scratches and take care to make a few photos or videos! "

On return the car had a tiny scratch (the usual supermarket cart scratch) in the front bumper, which Sxit decided to pick up on, which I had no problem with as it wasn't there when it came to my hands, little would I knew that Sixt would be charging me 160€ + 28.46€ "fine handling fee" (exactly the same value of the upgrade!) for something that would buff out with a 60€ polish job. Now with this overly expensive joke of a scratch + toll charges that I was invoice for a month down the line from my rental end I'm 250€ out of my pocket.

" The vehicle was provide with an empty tank,which meant we had to look for a petrol station not the best way to start your holiday. The vehicle had a massive gash all along the side of the car didn't expect this from a previously good company. The actually waiting time for picking up the vehicle was more than the flight time from London to Lisbon. The transfer vehicle wanted me to leave my family at the airport while I went offsite to pick up vehicle. On returning the vehicle the transfer vehicle had 2 members of staff.One driver and the other one thats was there just for the ride. He was completely disinterested and didn't help with the loading or unloading of the luggage I have a bad back and my wife had to load/ unload the luggage. Bought back the vehicle almost full as I always do to be told they would not refund any monies to me,but am sure if I bought it back empty They would charge me a premium to fill it up....So No not a great experience and not one I would expect from your company having used them several times before Didn't want to write a bad review as always received good service in the past. Want to give you the chance to redress the situation before I write a review.I would like to see what compensation you are going to offer. knowing that annual family holidays are very precious and no amount of money can make up for loss time.

" -On arrival they designated a car that was not in the best conditions and I have to ask to change which they did, the process to get the car took me over two hours from arrival until getting the car as so many people waiting for cars. -Had problems with the car during the hire and had to get car towed and wait very long time for transport to pick up to go to another city to pick new car. -The second car that received was in better conditions. -I informed that the toll roads when I wanted to pay was not showing any amount and wanted to see of any details when I was handing in the car, there was no information and was informed they will contact me. I do not want to have any issues for not paying nor having penalties for these tolls not been paid. They inform me on check out that they will send email but until now have not received. This was not the first time I have used Drive On but have to say that is was my worst experience. "

" Pick up experience was not good due to lengthy delay in being dealt with and then the time it took to process the rental with the counter staff having to try to sell extra products. Indeed there appeared to be 10 desks available for use but only 5 were actually used and each pick up seemed to be taking in excess of 20 minutes. Overall pick up time was over 1.25 hours which was difficult in the heat with a disabled mother to accommodate. All other aspects of the rental were fine. "

Ended up asking someone at Hertz desk and they said "go and look near the Vodafone stand" and there was a guy there chatting to other people with zero branding on him as he had put his branded folder on the floor, not helpful when dragging 2 small kids round an airport. Quick to get to pickup location and no queue to get car, which was in like new condition. Return was much busier, had to empty car on a down ramp and the queue was huge for pickups of new cars too. The queue was also large to get bus to airport and ended up waiting about 30 mins for what would have been a 3 min über. "

" Whilst pick up from the airport was quick, this is where the good points end. After waiting around 15 mins we were checked in but as soon as we declined the additional insurance they offered became extremely rude and abrupt. Then it was a 2hour wait for the rental car, sitting in a hanger smelling strongly of petrol fumes and the workers moved the cars aggressively around. There was no apology for the wait and no apparent queueing system. Horrible way to have to start the holiday. The car itself was ok and return was quick. "

Hertz blocked my credit card with an estimated bill including an extra day (which I never asked for) and only unblocked it after giving me a final bill on returning the car.

" All the car hire companies at Lisbon ariport are apalling - the airport is too busy for the facilties provided. I tried Avis for the first time hoping that they might be a bit better. I waited almost 2 hours before being on the road. 55 minutes was waiting at the desk and then another 40 minutes waiting for the car in the car park. I was initially given the wrong car in the car park and almost drove away before the agent finally agreed with me it was not the right car. When the right car came it was still wet and was parked between two other cars in a dark car park. I did the inspection with an agent and agreed with the pre-known marks. On my return the agent discovered damage to the wheel trim and tyre which I believe was not caused by me - but I had not been in a position to see during the pick up inspection. I had taken full excess, but was then told by Avis that I had to pay them and claim back from Authoeurope - which I dont think is clear when making the booking. I use Autoeurope a lot, and this was one of the worst experiences I have had. "

" We have used Auto.Europe for the last 5 years and have found their service to be very reliable, with a wide choice of agents and vehicles. My perennial complaints are that the pick up is ALWAYS very slow at which ever third party we use. Additionally, the insurance is too opaque and complicated. We pay insurance when we book and then are offered insurance at the time of pick up, which you feel you should take to be on the safe side. I would prefer to know all the costs upfront and decide which I want at that point, not when you pick up the vehicle. "
" The car was clean on the inside and ok on the outside apart from a big scrape on the near side and various scratches on the bumpers and paintwork. Checking the vehicle at pick up is always difficult as the garages are normally quite dark! Drop off was great (Porto airport). Quick and no problems. Caught the Avis shuttle quickly. Pick up was not good. There was a long, long queue, and we had to wait over an hour to pick the car up. The place we picked up the car was hot and in chaos....not a good customer experience. The counter staff were friendly and dealt with us politely. "

At this point I am unclear if we are completely covered by insurance. It was all very stressful - you will be pleased to note that other people hiring with other companies also had a long wait so AVIS is not alone. Returning the car was relatively easy, although signage at the airport was poor. the whole experience is something we all want to forget!!! "

No way did we spend the amount they asked to pay, though we did pay thinking they were trying to help us. 3) We have our own comprehensive insurance cover .... but because we only had debit cards with us Centauro forced us to pay for a second insurance policy as the ONLY acceptCREDIT cards. We will not use this company again. We chose it because we were under the impression that because they were local they would be efficient, convenient, quick and cheaper. They were none of these. We chose them too as we thought they had a second office in central Lisbon as well as their ( very inconvenient) airport office.

Was tired and just wanted to start enjoying my holidays. At the drop off of the car they mentioned that one of the rims was damaged when I don't even remember to scratch it during the rental. Probably was made by a costumer previously but because of frustration of so long wait to pick the car didn't full check if that damage was already made by someone else. Got charged just under 100€...

" First I was given the wrong car, I rented an Astra or similar and was given a Mercedes Citan Crew Van, not similar at all (S Class on Interrent paperwork) and not a familiar car at all. After complaining, had to wait for 3 days and only option was a VW Polo (again, wrong class, much smaller than what I was supposed to receive). Ended up driving a Polo for almost a week with a family of 4, instead of a Astra or similar. Very bad customer service, never showed any interest in solving my problem (when I replaced Mercedes VAN for VW Polo other cars were parked there but were already assigned to other customers... why other customers and not me????). Again, very bad experience. "

" There is one issue I would like to see added on the information provided to the customer. I have paid less that £11 to rent a car for 8 days. But with a deposit of £1,615.00. If anything would have happened with the car as far of an accident or vandalism I would have lost all or part of this deposit. Can Auto Europe please be so kind to have clear on the website the cost for partial deduction of the deposit (in this case was £80 for a deposit of £124) and the cost for no deposit. Nowhere in your website can be found the cost for the partial reduction of deposit that was offered to me at the counter. And I did not ask if there was a possibility to forfeit the deposit. THanks for listening. "
" The car pick up was good. The staff at the counter were quick and I was off quickly. When I have returned the car the process was also quick but I could not help but to hear a discussion between some employees at the counter that although not related with me left me wonder the lack of care in avoiding to have internal discussions and disagreements in front of customers. It does not look nice. I am Portuguese and I can understand the culture but these people need to understand that they should have these conversations and arguments and contra-arguments away from customers. "

" Overall, all paperwork sent in time, but better clarifications about what is and is not insured from the Auto Europe website as I thought it may not be clear enough what a customer is actually purchasing, when different insurance options on this occasion actually could have doubled the car hire price. It may be that AutoEurope might consider a third option on prices similar to your competitors and include a complete nothing further to pay incase of accident / claim, ie full excess / accident cover fully included in the price. "
" Very good efficient service from the Lisbon Airport staff, the completion of the paperwork was great, may be it was the time of day 20:00Hrs when not so many travellers requiring vehicles so not too much pressure on the counter and the garage staff. As vehicles are ever more filled with electronic gadgetry, a one page summary of all the things the vehicle can do would be helpful, as it can be disconcerting when eg gear change sounder goes off with out knowing what it is for a couple of days!

" I am extremely disappointed with both the treatment from Auto Europe on this occasion and that from Sixt. I have paid for extra insurance for full cover but was given a car with 2 scratches. I was told this had been noted and was from a previous hirer and that I would not be accountable. Upon return of the vehicle it was inspected and passed as OK by the assessor. However Sixt have levied an additional charge! I have tried to contact Sixt several times but without any successful response. I have also asked an operative at Auto Europe for help but I a, still waiting for a response, I deem this poor service and due to incurring these costs and additional interest on my credit card while I wait for some resolve, I am now considering legal action via a solicitor.

" The car wasn't ready or clean when we arrived so we waited over an hour to collect it. When we did get it, the 17 plate car has so much damage that it was difficult to see and record it all on the audit form. When we did get the car, the staff were not supportive or customer focused and we had to ask for the car to be released. When we dropped off, the car was audited and an impact point was spotted to the underside of the rear drivers side door (we had not carried passengers so had not used the door on our rental period). This was reported to desk staff and I tried to explain that the car door had not been used and that there was too much damage to see all the points at the collection audit. The desk staff confirmed that the damage was probably there on collection, but the system wouldn't allow for them not to record this and confirmed this was covered under the rental terms. They were not supported or prepared to listen to me to understand the amount of damage was not acceptable on a car so young. "

Then at the office, ended up getting locked in the toilet cubicle due to a faulty lock. Trapped in there for about 10 minutes before they finally broke down the door. The car was actually in good nick and good value for money.

" Auto Europe did not give us written details about the meeting point at the airport where we were due to meet the Rentastar representative (saying meet at arrivals) although when I rang they then told us those details. Also the phone number given to contact the rental company is not a number that is answered (and on surfing the internet it has become clear that this is a continual problem) I do not know why Auto Europe has dealings with this company who we now realise have a notorious reputation. I therefore no longer trust Auto Europe to recommend trustworthy customers. In nearly 40 years of hiring cars abroad, Rentastar is by far the worst company we have ever dealt with. "
" 1) We were due to meet a representative at the airport at arrivals. He was not there. Contact number on rental form did not work. Had to contact Auto Europe and get put through to rental company. It took an hour from original time to be collected to get car. 2) Staff were rude and surly and did not speak English 3) Took further 1.5 hours to get car. We kept being told it would only be a further 5 minutes each time we asked how long it would be until we got the car. 4) We only drove the car 70 kms and only used it for 2 journeys. When we returned it the following happened: a) The rental company tried to tell us the car was dirty and that we would have to pay Euros 15 for it to be washed. b) We made a fuss and then they found a supposed mark on the front spoiler that they said we caused - which was basically impossible based on the driving we had undertaken, but we were unable to disprove. They then charged us the extortionate amount of Euro 492 for the damage. We complained profusely, but the manager supposedly did not speak English and just ignored us. c) They refused to unblock our credit card until we paid for the damage (basically making us pay under duress) d) One of their employees then out of earshot of his boss, told us that this company continually used sharp practices to extort money from its customers, and that the previous day a young girl had been charged Euros 1000 for a tiny scratch. e) We have now surfed the internet and found that there are numerous reviews with very similar experiences.

" Staff were not at all polite and gave very little customer service. I felt as if I was doing them a favour by renting a car which pays their salaries!! NOT ONE thank you or please use Drive and Go again. All staff need to be taught politeness and go on a customer service course to realise they ONLY have theirs jobs because of the customers. They complained when we returned the car and didn't see the small signs on the left side wall simple telling us "you don't return the car there....oh never mind!" Didn't ask us which terminal we were flying from, so had to catch the airport bus to our correct terminal When we collected the car the man behind the desk was very interested in renting us a machine that informed us when we did/did not use the non toll motorways. Told us if we used these motorways and didn't have that machine, we would be fined €50, so spent the whole week on the national 'N' roads. Any truth to this??? I don't think so. To summarise...bad customer service, not rude, but far from polite and welcoming. Only reason we used Drive and go is because of the free additional passenger. Next time we will look for another company who offers the same unless we read about big improvements in DnG. "

" When i was waiting for rentastar at the airport i called autoeurope as they would not pick up the phone to speqk to them so they can come and pick me up at the airport "
" Do not rent a car from this company i had to wait 1 hour for them to come and pick me up from the airport then i had to wait for more then an hour to pick up the car there was no que in front of me i was the only person the there was at least 4 staff not doimg anything. They took so many photos of the car so when i come to drop of the car they was making up a damage which was just dirt i had to show them that its not a damage for them to refund me which took them half and hour just to check the car then i had to wait for another 30 mins for them to drop me at the airport. If you going to rent a car from this company you need to have alot of pasion and time in your hands and make sure you buy an insurance as they will make a damage up i had insurance but i just disntnwant them to make money for something that is not there. BEST THING IS AVOIND THEM "

" Auto Europe was OK apart from the phone number they put on the car rental voucher, which was not right. The number was the privated phone number of the lady who USED TO OWN the business but she now has sold it. So she answered my call after I called 4-5 times to explain the situation to me.. "
" This is the WORST car rental I have ever experienced in terms of customer service, and I have rented a lot of cars across Europe! I would seriously recommend that you stop doing business with them. My car rental was requested to start at 17.30 and after I called Auto Europe and Rentastar in total about 10 times all together I was able to receive confirmation from Autoeurope that someone was coming to the airport to meet me. I was met by a non-smiley lady who did not bother to explain why so late or apologise in earnest, and ended up in a shuttle bus at almost 19.00 which drove me and another customer for 15-20mins around to get to Rentastar where the service was super slow and above all rude. The staff was not welcoming, friendly or polite, they were acting in a cynical way that gave you a sense that they knew they were providing a poor service to the customer but also knew that the customer would not just leave as money had been already paid to make the car booking. The contract took very long to draw up as the lady at the desk was not efficient plus there was a power shutdown before she concluded the process online so we had to do it all over again. After very detailed car inspection and them taking photos of the car, I ended up picking up the car at around 20.00 instead of 17.30-18.00 that evening so had to cancel on some plans with local friends who were waiting for me. At least the car was as requested and in perfect condition, so I enjoyed that. When returning the car though, in the condition I got it in and with full tank, I had to spend about 30 mins waiting for the staff to decide whether to charge me or not for a very small thumbnail size superficial cut on the side of the front left tyre of the car that we did not notice or mark upon car pickup and that the photos could not possible show as too black/small. While this is normally acceptable wear and tear in all other car rentals I have used they insisted that this is damage that I should be charged for but given the photo could not prove the state of tyre before my rental they reluctantly accepted to write "All OK" in the Vehicle Condition sheet, in Portuguese. I asked to get refunded my EUR 1,950 so I can depart to the airport to catch my return flight and they said that their bank machine was not working. I then asked them to give me a signed paper that makes them commit that they will refund/unblock my deposit in 24 Hours. They did that and I left stressed and worried that they will somehow turn around and tell me that actually they found a scratch somewhere so they will charge me. After 24hrs the amount was still blocked on my account. After 48hrs it was finally unblocked. This was a very annoying and stressful experience for a simple 48hr car rental. Never again with rentastar, NEVER, as they are not good people! "

" Budget Lisbon got our holiday off to a very bad start. "
" 1. At collection: two counter staff on duty; approx 5 customers ahead of us; wait time in queue of around an hour to pick-up car, due to extraordinarily slow admin system. E.g. computer system did not have any of our personal info logged in, so EVERYTHING had to be inputted manually, even though we have rented from Budget MANY times previously. 2. The condition report for the car on collection was woefully misrepresentative of it's ACTUAL bodywork condition. Therefore yet more delay in recording every scrape and scratch (in the dark!) causing us yet more delay. We arrived at our destination too late for an evening meal due to Budget's inefficiency. 3. Even though the lighting in the car park was poor, Budget refused to let us examine the (black coloured) car in daylight the following morning and record any bodywork damage then. Most other rental companies in the UK permit this. Instead they instructed us to use the light from our mobile phone to check over the car for damage! This doesn't work!!! "

" Truly awful. 50 minute wait before speaking to goldcar representative. Forced to pay € 48 fee for diesel tax???? Same cost as total car hire. Had never requested diesel car. Spoke to autoeurope rep who told us to insist on petrol alternative only to pay up if there was no other option. Goldcar rep insisted diesel was only car available and we had to pay tax re terms on their website. No choice but to pay up. Car was opel Corsa, inferior to Ford fiesta but probably same group. It was like a fairground bumper car. Scratches or dents on every panel. The interior boot panel was attached with a piece of [INVALID] The interior was smelly and dirty. Again, no chance of changing as it was the only car available. "

" Not exactly Auto Europe's fault but perhaps customer's through you should be made aware of certain details "
" 1 - The car I have specifically chosen was not available at the pick up. They have provided a car of the same group with a smaller boot space which wasn't ideal as I had large baby items to carry. 2 - Before going for the long trip across the country I had to request for an upgrade to be able to fit it all. They nicely offered a 6 groups up upgrade for the price of two upgrades. However, I still have been charged the full upgrade price. Also found out that upgrades can only cover the number of days of the original request and not from the date the upgrade was requested. At the drop-off, I asked for a explanation of the higher than expected value on the contract, the staff wasn't sure why. After around 30 min they finally made sense of it and informed me that there was a mistake at their end and I have been overcharged. They gave me an email to complain and request a refund. However, I'm still awaiting for an acknowledgement since my email on the 4th of September. 3 - After the upgrade, I also had to request a GPS SAT NAV since this car did not have it included. Again requested it on the 1st of September and handed over on the 3rd. Had to pay 72€ for it (8 days). The cheapest car is around 7.92€ per day. I believe that charging 9€ per day for a SAT NAV is over pricing. 4 - The cars had exterior marks larger than the accepted size which were not specified in the contract. Luckily I checked and they promptly manually marked it in the contract to avoid issues during the drop-off "

" Very easy and intuitive website, makes comparing multiple rent-a-car's efficient and effortless. I especially liked the option to get an insurance that would take care of the renting excess in case I had an issue. Will definitely recommend and use again! "
" This was my first time renting with SIXT. I rented a compact for 9 days at Lisbon airport in Portugal. Picking up the car was effortless, efficient and really straight forward. After reading so many reviews of a number of rent-a-car's, complaining that they always try to push you into buying additional insurances or extras I was pleasantly surprised when the SIXT's employee that was talking to me didn't try to sell me unwanted stuff. He politely asked if I wanted extra insurance coverage, to which I replied that I already had bought some trough AutoEurope and if I wanted to take the car with a full tank of gas and bring it back full. And that was it! Oh and the best part? I also got a free upgrade to a premium class, I mean what else could you ask for?? When I rent a car I take into account the make and model that I would like to get as I really enjoy driving, having a free upgrade to a premium model was really the cherry on top. The car was spotless and tidy with very few millage. I took it back after 9 days, all without a hitch, turning the car in was also super straightforward. Long story short, I definitely recommend SIXT and surely will be renting with them again in the near future! "

" The car was great, shame that the counter staff and car pick up process at Lisbon airport is an absolute shambles. Took nearly 2.5 hrs to get the car, 45 mins of that time was spent at the counter with staff who clearly weren't interested in their job and even spent time browsing their personal mobiles whilst keeping everyone waiting. The admin side was so inefficient, at europecar, they go through the same detail in 10mins, signed and ready to go. Budget wanted me to sign without offering me the chance to read their t&c's. I had to rush through this as i'd been waiting so long for them to allocate me a vehicle. 3 staff at the counter took over 90mins to deal with the 7 customers before me, all of whom had vouchers. If this is how this branch operates then never again thanks. When I went to pick up the car, it was chaos in the car lot. Customers had to have new cars reallocated as the ones they were given weren't ready and when it was my turn the same thing happened. Lisbon Airport Budget is a total shambles. I am still waiting for the copy the contract to be emailed to me as promised or have they just taken my email address to sell on to earn some more pennies from their customers. I cannot fault the staff when I returned the vehicle though. "

" There was no obvious place to meet the Centauro staff at the terminal building. In fact I spent 15 minutes trying to find the person with the clipboard to direct me to the shuttle bus. When I arrived at the Centauro building, I only had 8 families in front of me but because they are so inefficient, I waited for 1 and a half hours before I got to the front of the queue. This meant that I didn't leave there until nearly 22:00 and was late for check in at my accomodation. When I drove the car the following morning, the tire pressure light came on. I drove back to the Centauro building as no one was answering the telephones. They looked at the car and told me it was just a dashboard malfunction and that the tire pressures were probably fine but they couldn't check the pressures there and would not give me a different car. They managed to remove the light but it came back on when I used the car again. The queue that day was significantly longer than the previous night but because I already had a car, I took priority. The employee that came to look at my car said that people can wait up to 5 hours to collect their hire car. There were elderly people and families with small children and hardly anywhere for people to sit down - I find this totally unacceptable. The drop off was seamless in comparison with the rest of my experience. "

Staff on the phone were unbelievably rude and unhelpful. The paperwork is unclear. The insurance arrangements are exploitative and not explained at the point of purchase. A truly dreadful service I will never use again and will review as widely as I can to prevent other people from being exploited. "

" Firefly are crooks. We had to fork out an additional 440 euros for a car that was suitable because the car we were given was a 2 seater and couldn't accommodate the 3 of us plus one suitcase. They also surprised us with an expensive limited mileage clause and were incredibly rude, the man at one point pointing a finger in my face and telling me I needed to learn how to listen. I will be taking this further. We were appalled by these people and could not reach anyone by phone at Auto Europe to sort things out. "

" The directions for the drop off of the vehicle caused us major delay and we missed our flight as the directions printed were totally incorrect. The counter staff was only ONE and the delay was further exacerbated. In total the car rental cost us FOUR missed flights 3 further days in Lisbon hotel and additional Parking fees of £50 in London. I have been going to Portugal now for over 15 years and can say its one of the worst experiences I have had. You really need to look at addressing these issues as on the plus side the vehicle was just Perfect. "

" Autoeurope need to be aware that their partners are not adhering to previously specified prices and reflects badly on them. "
" Booked estate car was supplanted by small SUV a renault captur which our four adults and baggage would not fit in. The staff member asked for 110 euros more for a SEAT Leon estate diesel, mentioning it was better fuel price than Petrol. He negotiated down to 65 euros for the week. I saw no other option but to take and pay extra. The Leon was an estate, had a low mileage and had the transponder fitted for motorway driving. Nevertheless I felt cheated by the experience having paid a supplement to have a similar car that I had booked through Auto europe. I surmise it was a busy time and they had overbooked. I was tired, it was hot and many people were waiting to be served. I needed a large enough car that I had correctly specd to hold four adults and six bags/suitcases. "

" Absolutely terrible service, DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE. It seemed too good to be true paying £27 for a small car for 2 days - turns out it was. Lots of extra hidden charges when collecting the car meant I paid over £112 in total. "
" Despite having booked and paid online for a car I had to queue for over 1 hour at the Goldcar desk to be served. When at the desk I was told the car I had booked was unavailable so I would have to pay for an upgrade. I was then told I would also have to buy Goldcar "Super Relax Cover" for an extra £60 despite having my own travel insurance which covers rental vehicles. At the counter they said I had to purchase their insurance or I couldn't hire the car. I was told I also had to pay Airport Tax on top of that. None of this was explained well and I wasn't sure if what I was paying would be refunded once I returned the car. As a fuel deposit I had to pay £108, and only received £102 when this was refunded. In total it cost me £112.30 to hire a small car for 2 days, and the whole experience was extremely stressful and confusing. Even returning the car was a strange experience with nobody checking the car off thoroughly, all they were interested in was if the tank was full. DO NOT USE GOLDCAR! The cheap price may be tempting but they more than make their money back with hidden extra charges. Furthermore the complete lack of professionalism and the high pressure sales tactics made what should have been a simple start to a happy holiday a very stressful experience. I have told all my friends and family to avoid using this company and can only hope it's a matter of time before they are shut down. "

" No problems with booking or your company on the whole but just need to see how you handle my compaints about Drive On. "
" Absolutely terrible company. I had to stand in a queue for over 2½ hours before reaching the desk, and then it took a further 25 minutes to actually process my booking, even though it was straightforward and I had all documents ready. The person at the counter was adamant I had to purchase their Excess Waiver insurance for Euro168 and was quite stroppy when I pointed out that my booking included this and that I also had seperate Excess Waiver insurance. He said they were useless and basically called me an idiot for not taking out the further cover with them. When I mentioned the Sat Nav he insisted it was an extra Euro10 a day even though I pointed out it said GPS in the comments. He said "yes, but you still have to pay us for it". It told him not to bother, which made him even more annoyed. As he was completing the booking I showed him where it said the GPS was included on the voucher and he snapped back "it's in the car" - an admission that the extra Euro70 charge for the week was a con. The booking was on a 'full to full' basis - however there was only half a tank of fuel in it. Obviously this makes it harder to judge the amount of fuel for the return and I ended up returning it with 3/4 in the tank. Given the level of service I feel this was a deliberate ploy on their behalf to extract extra fuel from their customers. All through the process the person on the counter was talking to his colleague on the next desk and complaining about not getting me to sign up for anything - assuming (wrongly) that I did not know enough Portuguese to get the drift of what he was saying. I will never book a car from Drive On again. "

" I found it unacceptable and borderline bad-faith that upon booking a car with auto-europe, the conditions state that the driver must present the card used for the booking to pick up the car, and at the counter, they refused the card used due to it being American express. The counter staff was only able to apologise that this was not a condition mentioned upfront, and that it was only state in the voucher, to which the client only has access after completing the rental and made payment. The vouchers should not be adding additional conditions to the rental agreement, as the customer would already have gone through the conditions applicable to their rental before confirming the payment. This is an unfair practice that is costly to the customer. It appears as though this is done to force clients to pay the insurance excess instead of having it held off of their account, making the rental more than double the original price. "

" When we arrived in the airport there was nobody waiting. We did not know what to do. Luckily, other rental agents advised us to call Rentastar, we searched for the number online and called them - relieved that our phones actually worked, we were not aware that this would happen and were very worried that our phones would not work and nobody would come. Finally someone arrived and brought us to the rental shop, a member of staff put a cold on my credit card of 1300euro, however they had problems with their card machine and nothing printed, this staff member told me my card was not working, there was no money. I got a shock. Luckily, I checked my online banking and saw that the hold was placed at that time with the name of the rental agency. I showed this to the staff. I stood at the desk for a long time. 2 hours at least, waiting, late for a wedding. Nobody told me what was happening, at the end of the long wait I was asked to call my bank. I called my bank in Thailand (expensive) and they confirmed the amount was on hold and shared the transaction code. After all of this I was told that the best thing they could do is get me to pay 75euro on full insurance and another deposit of 250euro. I was desperate so I agreed, and put them on another card where the paper printed out . When we returned the car we gave in the second card with the 250e hold and they could not refund it. They said they would contact their holding agent and email. They never emailed but the money was returned to the second card. I am still waiting for the hold of 1300euro to be lifted from the initial card. All in all a really bad experience, that ended up costing me so much extra time, money and stress and all through no fault of my own and I was made to feel like I had a problem with my card, that I had money, that I was lying, when in fact it was not my problem at all.

" It depends how you address this feedback "
" They gave me a brand new vehicle. Very nice The vehicle had an intermittent electrical fault. Sometimes it would not start. We asked the hotel receptionist and the hotel driver to try. They could not start the car. I phoned Drive and Go and asked for help. I passed my phone to the hotel driver who explained in Portuguese that the ignition system was dead. We came back 30 minutes later and the car started. We drove the car to the car park by the hotel reception (about 500 metres). I left the car and came back 5 minutes later and it wouldn't start. The hotel receptionist came out and tried to start the car - it wouldn't start - totally dead. She called Drive and Go for assistance - they said call the number on the papers. She called the number and some time later a breakdown van came. The car started this time. We (wife and I ) went back to Lisbon to Drive and Go to pick up a replacement. Subsequently, Drive and Go claimed there was no problem with the car and demanded we pay for the breakdown van. I asked the hotel receptionist to call and explain in Portuguese exactly what happened and to confirm there was a fault with the car. She did this and had a 'loud' argument over the phone with Drive and Go. When I returned the car, they insisted on payment of 130euros. To avoid unpleasantness I paid. However, I obviously have two serious observations about Drive and Go: 1 - I think they are unreasonable in that there were two independent witnesses that there was a problem with the car provided 2 - They put a faulty car back out to rental with another client. I find this astonishing and dangerous. I would not drive that car because I was concerned the electrics would fail on the motorway. I find the lack of care towards clients to be unforgivable. I can ask the hotel and probably get two independent witness statements to attest to the truth of this message. "

The technology of cars is advancing so fast that I think rental firms sometimes don't appreciate that we may not all be familiar with keyless ignition etc. There didn't even seem to be a manual in the car, leading to small things like not being able to work out how to retract the wing mirrors! The return was just a bit slow because of massive queues, but having said that, the Sixt staff were great, taking the car off us in the queue and doing the check there and then so we could get away.

" We have been using Auto Europe for quite some time now and will continue to do so. The process of choosing and hiring your car is very easy, you can see prices from various companies and choose what suits you best. We have never had any dealings with the company in case of a claim, so can't comment on that, but let's hope we won't have to. "
" We were ever so happy with the service and the car. We've read lots of horror stories about renting cars and were a bit nervous but we couldn't have been any happier. We used Thrifty but it turned out to be Hertz, who serviced us at the Lisbon airport. We arrived late because of a delay but was surprised we got the car we were promised straight away, it was instant, so quick. Car was brand new, there were few dents and scratches that were already marked on their system. We returned the car, there was no problem at all. We thought it will take some time to return it but it was all done in 5min. We are very, very happy and will continue to use Thrifty in the future. "

" VERY expensive Baby seat and Booster seat (almost €200!!!) for 8 days. Could have bought brand new ones for much less. We were charged for 2 baby seats - and only had one , plus a nasty used booster pad. Not much you can do about it at the airport with 2 little ones to transport. That was a big let -down.- and a refund of part of it would be appreciated. Check in very slow (40 minutes) - only 2 staff at the AVIS desk. Poor showing! "

" Never been discriminated before for not having a credit card. I know that there are rules but have never been refused before - throughout Europe. But what made it worse was the attitude of the counter staff who were obnoxious. I had to pay for their insurance and a full tank of fuel, on top of the excess insurance I had bought from auto Europe. I couldn't have been less happy with the way I was treated regardless of 'the rules'. "

" Spent over an hour in the queue which only had 8 people in front of us. Incredibly slow service but we got there in the end. Extremely happy with the car we were given. "
" No problems efficient booking good price "
" Thier facilities were totally inadequate, it was a car park with a shed. We were made to wait for the car which was not on site. They charged us 600 Euros for damage to the car we did not do. The damage was to the underside of the cill and it was not an area we looked at at the pick up inspection. They were soley focused on finding damage and charging every customer we saw drop off a car. Never again. If you use BENERENT just beware! "
" When I booked both cars they were both advertised as including an additional driver, but when I received my voucher that was no longer the case and the rate for an additional driver was 25% more than suggested on the voucher when we actually spoke to the car hire company. "
" We joined the queue to get our car at 4.30pm and finally left the parking garage at 7.30pm. Not exactly a great start to anyone's holiday. Staff were polite and professional, but obviously harried and unclear on their own processes - I was given a key, but not told that I shouldn't pick up the car when I got to the garage and then got told off for taking the car without having had someone else look at it. That process wasn't explained, added significant additional time and is contrary to the process used by other companies. Very unimpressive. "
" nice clean car with no hidden surprises "
" Easy enough. "
" No problems at all. Friendly Staff. Nothing bad to point out. Does what it says on the tin. "
" Although it's out of the control of Auto Europe, some kind of indication towards what the additional costs that could be expected i.e extra insurance. "
" Would not necessarily rate Drive On as better or worse than other rental car companies. "
" After ringing the company for being an hour late .. I was still gives a car with no lights to the right side and had to drive it for 2 weeks with no replacement or light fixed and a baby in the car .. when delivering the car was blamed for scratches in the car due to the staff (Joao Goncalves) writing superficial scratches and not specificity which scratches which were a lot of them .. will not be using this company again and do not recoment to any one "

" Very happy lady greeted us at the desk. Car was fabulous and we had a free upgrade. "
" Benerent hard to locate "
" As above, hard to locate when exiting arrivals. Not clear as to where they were. "
" They are ok but you are required to be alert to their additional costs. We were advised (as it turns out correctly) that we needed to hire the automatic pass for the motorways as some motorways are electronic only. Our concern is that for six days that was 10 euros. If the car was hired out all the time they would have a revenue of over 520 euros!!! Naughty! "
" Car was not of the category I booked. Ir was from lower category and just about the poorest hire car I have ever driven. There was a long wait at the airport before we were met by a representative and then a long walk in the heat to where their office was. "
" Very satisfied with auto europe especially as we made a mistake and booked the wrong date initially. No problem changing the date and no admin charges. Excellent! "
" Friendly straight forward service with pick up and drop off at the airport. No nonsense with having to check the vehicle yourself and mark up any scratches etc. Attendants provided a thorough and helpful service. "
" Due to the hot weather, it was terrible inside the car, very hot, no air condition. "
" All round very good assistance, top stars professionals including the driver. "
" Good pick up and drop off. Very easy to find when returning the car. Car was a bit scratched up but otherwise fine. "
" Guerin redeemed themselves following last experience when left for over an hour waiting for our car after checking in. This time car arrived promptly. Although vehicle had done only 17K km, it felt tired and gear selection was poor/worn. Otherwise did the job. "
" Car fine.pick up good. without nav system,very difficult to find location for return. Mis sold a toll gate system,given the impression that whst we psid extra at point of collection,would mean not having to pay toll charges "
" Very good service. confirmation email received within 48 hours of booking. Great value "
" The DOLLAR signage at the desk is very small and easily missed The car was very clean and to a higher than expected spec "
" Instructions for finding off airport location appalling "
" Provided awful child seats - I would like a refund immediately. "
" There was no-one to meet us in arrivals as stated on the car hire voucher. After I phoned them a rep came to meet us and took us to the car hire office which was a short walk away. The rep was very helpful and explained everything. He also gave me directions on how to get out of the airport and onto our destination. A map was provided. A thorough inspection of the car was carried out upon collecting and returning the car, "
" the rent a car had their advertising in 3 places on the vehicle. Staff very unhelpful after contacting Benerent to report damage as a member of our party had a window smashed on the rented car by a thief, Benerent told the our other party to continue with a smashed window even though we had children traveling and still 10 days remaining of our holiday only that the GNR arranged for the repair I found staff from Benerent were rather rude on each occasion I had dealings "
" Obviously tried the usual tactics to sell me add ones but not pushy as I had my own excess protection cover and didn't require the toll transponder. "
" We booked the hire car on the understanding from the web site that we had unlimited mileage as advertisd. we knew we were travelling a minimum of 600km. On returning the car we received a charge of £149 for excess mileage over 60km per day. This is unacceptable and we will be taking it further. The product information clearly states unlimited mileage. We will be going to Martin Lewis and any other media website to warn others of this miss-information. This ruined our holiday and was money we can ill afford. "
" It was not Dollar, it was actually Hertz and we had a long wait to get the car and then the car had to be changed as the the connection to sat nav did not work. Not at all impressed. "
" Easy to navigate the website, with everything labelled clearly and most importantly the prices offered were very competitive. "
" Friendly staff, good quality cars and relatively quick airport transfers. "
" this is the second time I have used Auto Europe and was very satisfied "
" They use Fiats, terrible cars, primitive, inefficient, noisy. "
" Car was good and I beat the usual 1 hour plus queue on pickup.on drop though had to queue again for a 30 second clearance on the deposit. Guerin need more staff "
" It was not at all clear to me that despite paying with my visa debit card, I would have to bring a credit card when taking the vehicle. In order to proceed I had to upgrade my insurance, costing me an extra 79 euros. You should have made this important point more clear during the booking process. It was buried in the small print. "
" Despite this problem, the assistant did her best to accommodate me. She upgraded me to a diesel, which was a small compensation. "
" Fuller details on the rental voucher would be beneficial - e.g. that Supercover had been purchased would be beneficial "
" One problem that I had with the rental was that the company that I picked the car up from stated that the excess I was liable for was 31,000 EUR not the 1,600EUR that it stated on the rental voucher. They very strongly tried to get me to buy their insurance and repeatedly stated that auto-europe always get their prices / cover wrong. I did not take their insurance as I had the Refundable Excess with Super Cover, however I would not like to have been liable for 31,000 EUR, even if I could have claimed it back "
" Finding the Rental Return place was a little difficult apart from that all was great "
" It was totally unclear from the correspondance that we were actually renting from Hertz so it took some time in the airport to find the right rental desk. "
" We queued for 15 minutes and it then took another 15 minutes before we were ready to go to the car. The staff were excellent, friendly and seemed efficient. I don't understand why it takes so long. "
" Booking process was straight forward and very clear what was included/excluded. "
" Once we arrived in Lisbon we had to wait 90 minutes to be served at the Car Rental Desk, which considering we had pre-booked is totally unacceptable. After completing the necessary paperwork (this took about 20 mins!) we then proceeded to collect the car and had to wait a further 30 minutes as the car was not ready. Why did we need to specify a time of pick-up if the car was not going to ready anyway, despite having to wait an additional 2 hours to the original time stated and no explanation for delays. The car itself was not in great condition, several knocking sounds if bumps in road (in Portugal there are lots!) Would not recommend using this company at all. "
" i believed that i was booking with a reputable company Alamo, however they were handled by agents Guerin and Enterprise. The experience was the worst I have ever had (i hire about 6 cars a year). Very heavy sales pressure to buy excess insurance, when I refused, as I have an annual policy, I had to sign an excess form for 61,000 euros or pay about 400 euros for excess! In addition I had to use 2 credit cards, they said this was part of the conditions when I booked and should have been advised by AutoEurope. After being given the keys I had to wait in a queue for 45 to 50 minutes to collect the car; every car was scrutinised in minute detail by the Guerin employees, every nick or scratch on the alloy wheels & car was marked; it took 5 mins. "
" No hidden costs? Be aware... They always have hidden costs... "
" No issues. All went as expected. "
" I am glad I found this rental company. This year I have used them three times with no issues. Staff are very friendly and helpful. I see them chat and smile with customers and I've not seen no arguments which is usual mainly on car returns. This, in my opinion is how the company is very clear on the conditions and options went picking up the vehicle. The only issue is them not been at the airport, but you can't ask for all. Transport is fast, even very fast at times with road pumps not good for anyone with back problems or injuries. "
" Insurance information unclear on the website. Had chosen the 2nd more expensive option out of four yet then I was told at the destination I had the minimum insurance available. "
" Took over 1h to get the car. Unhelpful assistance. "
" Great service, very smooth process "
" Great service, very smooth process "
" The car examination was very exacting. More information sould have been given on the tolls system. "
" We hired from Lisbon at your 'City centre' address. This is nowhere near the city centre and there is more than one Rua 25 Abril ~ we went to the wrong one and incurred a long taxi ride and fare in the process. A clearer indication of the actual location would be helpful. That aside, the service and the car were both excellent. "
" Not specifically about Guerin, but they gave me a Citroen C3 car, which when I collected it I was told that these cars have a problem with the electronic fuel gauge, ie even when the fuel tank is filled up to pump cut-off point the gauge doesn't show it's fully full and I was advised to keep the refuelling receipts for the return journey which I did. The problem did occur when I topped up near Lisbon airport and when I returned the car I told the staff of the problem and produced the receipts which they accepted there was a problem. "
" The online booking process was fine. After that the experience with the car hire company went downhill rapidly. "
" Once again we encountered further insurance costs at the check in desk which is never mentioned in any of your literature, it is the wrong time and place to be loading further costs onto an already expensive option. Alamo are doing themselves no favours by using Guerin as agents for there car hire at Lisbon airport, the male staff at the desk was extremely rude and discourteous and under no circumstances will I be using your company again. "
" Quite efficient with queries and paper work. Need to explain clearly about extra costs and insurance. We were assured by you that no further payment would be necessary as we had all the cover we needed. Guerin said this was not true and we had to pay them £50 for insurance. Very upset and not a good start to the holiday. "
" On arrival getting the car took too long - over 2 hours - only one person dealing with customers. We were told that the insurance we thought we had with you was no good. We had to pay a further £50 to get cover. Returning car was OK "
" I never have any problems using auto Europe and have always received very good service from your agents. "
" Straightforward transaction. Easy booking "
" It took nearly 3 hours to collect the car after clearing the boarding. Slow queue at the GUERIN office and once the paper work done another Long and VERY slow moving queue to collect the car. 2 or 3 staffs out there to check the vehicle and handover the keys. Very, very slow service. Positive side was nice new cars and drop off doesn't take time. "
" Very happy. Great, professional service. "
" Good car. Professional service at the rental desk. "
" Far too long to be served at the reception desk. If they have all details previously provided why the hell does it take 20 mins to process a very simple form filling exercise. Reception staff seem oblivious to the frustration felt by the people waiting to be served, with no common courtesy of advising people of the reason for the delay. Reception staff appeared more interested in selling add on insurance cover( presumably on commission) than reducing the ever increasing queue. "
" Car was properly inspected and checked at start and finish of hire and confirmation of contract end. "
" Excellent car rental company "
" We got the car which was advertised which does not always happen and the whole process ran smoothly "
" Excellent service. Almost new, clean car. Very well organised with minimal wait at pick up and return point. "
" As a frequent user of your services I'm usually fairly happy with your service. First time I've chosen interrent and it was truly inadequate. Rude, poor staff, waiting and queuing times unacceptable. Please have someone contact me over this matter. "
" The worse car hirer ever, please have someone contact me, truly terrible. "
" i thought the services was quite poor as it toke 90 minutes to finally collect the car , also why did i have to pay for petrol i did not use as the petrol tank was half full when i picked the car and had to leave it full? not sure i will be using your services anymore. "
" I was given a car at Lisbon airport with a half full tyre. I was told it just needed air. Following day, Friday bank holiday, 1st May the tyre was completely flat...I called Guerin assistance Saturday morning and the only option available was to drive for 60 km to the near Guerin. No other assistance is available on weekends and my stay was only a long weekend. Cutting a long story short: staff was unreliable when delivering the car which was not in good condition, Guerin assistance was inexistent - only the customer has to take action and lastly, upon the return of the car, it was "said" it must have been a slow puncture! No, this is not the service someone needs when rent/ any car abroad specially only for long weekend. HM 4/5/2015 "
" Experience with Auto-Europe was good, all deal and arrangements did by internet so fast and easy. I choose all quality, insurance and services I was willing to hire. "
" When I arrived to Guerin balcony they started to offer a lot of other insurances and fees. In fact they said the insurance I´d already contracted was with Auto-Europe and not with them (Guerin). Ok they were gentle but didn´t respect my contract with Auto-Europe, they treated as a new contract with them. "
" Always liked Guerin. Hassle free on airport (in Lisbon) car hire. Have also used them in Porto - off airport but short transfer & equally impressive. "
" Efficient and accurate. "
" Friendly enough staff. Quite annoyed that correct information about road tolls seems to be avoided. Therefore causing added costs of unnecessary transponder in Portugal. "
" The booking process was very good, no complaints. "
" I would use this car rental company again. The Interrent rep meets you at the customer service desk at Lisbon Airport, we were then taken outside to wait for 1hour for the next available shuttle to the car rental office, (which is really quite far away from the airport) we then had to wait again and queue for a further 2 hours before being able to process our booking and collect the car - total chaos! The drop off in Faro was far better organised than the Lisbon set up! "
" Very happy with all aspects of the hire and the speed of service collecting & when returning the car "

" I have been making several bookings with auto europe for years and am fairly happy. It is easy to avoid unpleasant surprises by selecting the option to pick up and return the tank full and check whether the pick up/return requires transfer/shuttle or not, allowing me to save time and money. "
" It took me 1h30m to get the car at the airport. They were really short of stuff for the number of customers. "
" Easy website to go through, offering a number of vehicles at different levels "
" Desk right at airport, collection upstairs - perhaps two Guerin staff upstairs to pass you the car - had to wait 45 minutes in another queue as only 1 person giving out the cars "
" Easy to access and arrange car hire. Excellent correspondence and good advice. "
" Excellent efficient service At the airport. Paperwork was already prepared and able to get the car immediately. Car was in excellent condition much better than some we've had from other companies in Lisbon! "
" All good, information is clean and clear. All as expected. Another great experience to my satisfaction. "
" The staff was the greatest staff ever but the location was in fact poor but that wont change the review. Sonia at the counter, she is a DOH star, and I'll give her 5 out of 5 points, she totally gone above & beyond my expectations. Very talkative person and totaĺy willing to give an helping hand.The airport shuttle driver also a really great guy and left me in the airport on time for my flight and wished me a great flight back home. Overall 5********* totally recomendable for their cheap insurance and great fuel policy and lower excess and because of their staff not demanding stuff over the counter like many does for their individual comissions. Overall, another great experience! "
" Competitive, efficient, hassle free "
" Helpful and efficient "
" As always very satisfied. "
" Friendly service but van a bit high to get in and a bit old. No complains. "
" So far in all 4 rentals I did using a pre paid voucher with autoeurope all were good experience except for one ( the first one) where the rental desk was not opened at the time of drop off and I had to leave the keys with guerin in the airport of lisbon since I had to take a flight early in the morning and the off airport supplier interrent was closed at that time. They charged me 20 for one way. Apart from that all were ok. I would jut suggest to add this info on the t&c the out of hours and the owf. I have always left excess blocked and they unblock it usually 3 days before drop off which is good. Hope u continue to provide good service. "
" The ooh fee or the owf was 20 "
" It took me 1 hour to be attended at Lisbon Airport to checkin at Guerin !!!!! The flight from London to Lisbon takes 2hrs 20 minutes and 1 hr wasted after arrival for a car !!!!!!!!!Makes no sense in the century we live in !!!!! "
" The waiting times MUST be sorted out !!!!!!!!!! 1 hr awaiting to be checked in by Guerin !!!!!!!!!!!! NOT acceptable !!!!!!!!!!!! "
" Excellent website "
" Excellent services "
" Booking was fine. I hire cars at Lisbon four or five times a year and I used Auto Europe this time as the rates looked competitive. I am about to book two more hires for April in Lisbon and May in Faro but the comments below will influence who I use. "
" Was asked to pay 22 Euros for airport tax which I found out later was covered in my contract. Had to wait 30 minutes for the car to be made ready. Disappointed on both counts. "
" Very acceptable prices Very kind operators In my opinion very honest as well as I have heard that some rental companies can try to take advantage of customers by saying there are problems with the car upon return when in fact there are not and it is only a money scam "
" Extremely efficient Pick up and drop off at airport as promised They took the car back with no problems or queries I would use again Thanks guys :) "
" No problems at all.good service Thank you "
" It was the second time I used the service and I am very satisfied.Thank you "
" quite satisfied "
" Please see all my comments above especially about Gold Car "
" Sometimes not all info is on website but 0800 number usually provides all answers, "
" Used for first time and found them helpful and efficient. "
" Straightforward as usual "
" I may just have been unlucky, but the previous couple of times I was given old, battered cars with a lot of kilometres on the clock which gave me the impression that Guerin perhaps allocated these to clients who turned-up with a voucher. However most recently I was given a nice, new vehicle. "
" Had an upgrade which made the hill climbing in Portugal easier and a very pleasant drive but having the boys in the back of a sporting car when they are both over 6 feet was difficult so we didn't make the long drives up the coast that we normally do. "
" Only critisism is the lenght of time it takes to get the car in the airport. It takes nearly 20mins per car and when you are in a long que it is just not the way you want to start your holiday. "
" Superb service both on the web site and in telephone calls. Faultless "
" Again excellent service and product. Only issue was that car was only 3/4 full Which I discovered after leaving the depot. "
" All okay... 9 out of 10. "
" 48 hour LPG claim could meet the price on the website as sometimes this doesn't match up. The rental was 109.45£ when price had gone down to 105.35£. Anyway received some refund so as for t&c I paid only fuel locally since fuel was prepaid. So total spent was 109.45£ + Full tank of fuel of 79.80£ for 16 days rental and car received was a 4 door Fiat punto. Dropped off yesterday. Had taken pics of any damage the car had at the pick up. Mitigated one scratch in the bottom and they confirmed the scratch was already there from a previous contract since 22 August. So all okay, the car has been delivered without further damage and intact and excess was already unblocked from the cc even before drop off. My 2nd hire and 2nd great experience. "
" Exceptional service, good prices "
" Very good car rental company. "
" Website is easy to navigate and is upfront about costs etc "
" One of my better rental experiences! But didn't notice my mileage was capped, my fault. "
" This was the lowest price, easy to use the website and everything worked as it should. "
" The car was fine, The reps turned up on time at pick up and drop off and were friendly and helpful. Fuel was return with the same amount as the start, not an expensive charged for a full tank return empty, as with a number of others. "
" Good choice of offers, easy website, beats competition. Should make clear if excessively price full tank fuel buy is mandatory. "
" Had to buy full tank of fuel on pickup; appreciate this is in the rental company's favour anyway at you can't empty it on return, but buying it at 91 for around 45-50 liters, compared to local price, that's 20-25% uptick on top of the excess return fuel and clearly over the top. Btw, when in Algarve and driving a bit suggest you take the Auto-toll-pay option as the hassle with the postal system to pay isn't worth it. "
" fantastic "
" fantastic "
" Great costumer service "
" Regular user because of info re which hire company used and whether car can be returned full of fuel or empty. Always prefer latter "
" Regular user of Guerin mainly at Porto airport..Lisbon service, once at the desk good but much slower in total in getting car 1.5 hours.at a time when airport not particulary busy. Can regular customers of either Autoeurope or Guerin, get fast track cards as I have with Sixt??? "
" very efficient, good price and clearly stated the 'deal' "
" Very good car again, helpful service and a very good deal for on airport hire. Getting the car still seems to take more time than it should but the return is very slick. "
" I was satisfied with most of the booking process, but I would have liked it made a little more obvious that the rental company was off site. It may have been stated somewhere but I didn't notice it. "
" In some ways I really liked Go Rent. They are a small company,and in any ways they were friendly and gave a personal service. They accommodated me when I had to return the car earlier than their office early,which was great if a little nerve-wracking! Downsides are that they weren't waiting in the airport,and took a while to get picked up. Another down side is that as a smaller company they have a limited fleet. The car we had was a 3yr old Peugeot 207,a model which isn't even a current model, with 90k on the clock. The car, although clean, did smell like people had been smoking in it before. The brakes felt pretty tired, and there wasn't massive amounts of tread on the tyres. So overall, friendly staff but a slightly tired car! "
" Was given wrong information on two accounts and what we thought was the cheapest ended up being one of the dearest car hires we have ever had. The car hire company we used was Go Rent. I strongly recommend you don't use them. I would use Auto europe but be careful what car hire company you choose. "
" They are a rip off with the price of a full tank, charging 125 euros which is a price for almost two full tanks plus you have to get a bus to their depot to pick up the car and not picked up at the airport as we were told over the phone and to top it they are not even the best cars. Never use them again "
" Excellent site and service. "
" Very good attention and price, but few car options "
" Zero excess and full tank policy at reasonable price is what makes me come back to auto Europe. I am looking to rent again in the near future but I can not find cars with zero excess insurance... "
" The staff at Guerin Lisbon airport, were professional and polite. Quick service on pick up and delivery. Zero excess and full tank of petrol makes it more attractive to rent. Alcino "
" great service and would use again - 10% cheaper than the normal provider i use for the same provided that i normally use in portugal "
" good service as usual "
" Great service! I'm satisfied. "
" Great service! I'm satisfied. "
" We have used several times now, yes we are very satisfied Thank you "
" Always polite, clean cars will use again very soon "
" We liked the fair fuel policy and the booking process was simple. "
" Had booked equivalent of a Peugeot 206 and were asked if we were happy to take a brand new 2 door car so we said yes. When we got the car we had to put the back seats forward so we could get one case in the boot and the car had only a 500litre engine so was very underpowered, even on the motorway where I constantly had to change down to third gear. It was a Fiat 500. Also they tried to sell me another excess insurance at about 10 euros a day, even though I had bought that from Auto Europe. Luckily I declined and left a credit card number as security for the excess. Could very easily have been persuaded to take this, but knew there was no need. "
" The car hire firm that Auto Europe used for my rental was a local provider (Guerin) but the attendant spoke good English and was very competent. Unfortunately our trip was cut short due to illness but they let us drop-off the car at one of their branches near to where we were staying and didn't even charge us extra for this service. Excellent customer service in my opinion! "
" Very informative and helpful. "
" Free upgrade and really straightforward pick up and drop off. The Budget desk at Lisbon airport is situated at the Avis counter and not very visible. Signage could be more prominent. That aside, great service. "
" Best deal! "
" Hassle free especially for a different country. Highly recommended. "
" Consistently cheaper than competitors. Very helpful and friendly on help desk. "
" Charming staff on the desk and in the garage and I was given an upgrade. "
" All great. However would have preferred to know up front that Go Rent are off site as we had to wait for an hour before collection & found it difficult to find drop off point on returning car. "
" Staff very polite and helpful. Gave us an upgrade for having to wait to be collected. "
" Overall excellent as always, just reminded the rental company to check water levels in the screen wash bottle, none this time. "
" ALWAYS AND FOR EVER "
" the company INTERRENT suprises its customers with huge, huge deposit. despite the insurance cover taken it still takes place and it is in the T@C. mind the wording. inspection of the given car is strictly necessary in this case and please, advice future customers the seriousness of it. in capital letters. despite of this they offer the cheapest affordable prices and there is an excellent personal service as well. REQUEST THEIR SAT NAV, DON'T RELY ON YOURS regards, stef "
" Very helpful as ever,providing alternative quotes. "
" Very friendly,efficient and professional. "
" Could have had an extra member of staff on the desk at the airport, we had to wait quite a while due to the number of people hiring cars from the same place on the same flight as us. "
" No fussing, helped load the car when we got to it, thorough but without wasting time, car park is close and the car is waiting for you, they even bring it out of the dodgy parking bays for you so you don't have to fight to get into it. Overall very happy, car was brand new and in very good condition. Exactly what I expected "
" Excellent service and trouble-free motoring "
" Excellent service and trouble-free motoring "
" A very good deal with a faultless car. Good all round. "
" I was happy with everything except the location of the business having got totally lost trying to return the car. "
" Good easy to use website with great selection of hire companies at competitive prices "
" Great comfortable brand new car from swift and efficient company at the airport. No fussing with transport to and from depots. "
" We originally went with goldcar and after reading some reviews realised It wasn't a good choice so went with go rent. Autoeurope changed it with no problem. Overall good experience. "
" They were pretty straight forward and went round the car checking all previous scratches before we actually got it. On arrival back from our time in Lisbon unfortunately had a little accident with wing mirror which was easily dealt with. Company suggested we were responsible for another scratch on car when we know without doubt that we weren't. Anyway they didn't pursue this. Also company said instead of paying for fuel upfront to just return it with same amount we picked it up with, which was much easier. Overall happy with company. We plan on going with this company again. "
" Excellent as usual. "
" I thought Geurin supplied the car and from previous experience they were as good as ever "
" confusing at the beginning but, everything was sorted by the end "
" hassle free on arrival and return. "
" Very pleased with all aspects of service. "
" Helpful and efficient. "
" It wall went pear shaped when we arrived at Airport...Auto Europe did their best to help me (see below) but i still spent 15 minutes waiting for an answer and all this on my mobile...god knows what the bill will be... colin finch "
" Despite being told to the contrary no one was there to meet us at terminal 1 Lisbon..I spent 15 mins on my mobile calling people..Go Rent couldn't be bothered to answer their phone so ended up on a premium rate number - maybe you'll pay the bill when it comes in? They finally showed up an hour late..so a very bad experience colin finch "
" Nice service , will come back "
" Very good , friendly at pick up and drop off . "
" I have used Auto Europe before and will do again. "
" Gold Car took ages upon arrival to process our booking. They were very pushy selling extra insurance and insisted without it we were covered for very little. They charged 90 euros for each tank of petrol and we gave the two cars back over 3/4 full. Not a good experience. "
" Easy booking Good prices "
" Not sure of the quality / age of car. Not happy with the over selling of fully comprehensive insurance Not happy with the way they check the car out and give you little time to examine for scratches and bumps yet when the car is returned they examine in microscopic detail Guess all hire companys are the same "
" For the last 2 trips we have hired through Avis who have been a very professional company. We have previously had poor experiences but I am now delighted that we get to see what company the hire is with prior to hire. "
" For the last 2 trips we have hired through Avis who have been a very professional company.

The staff were courteous and professional, and explained everything clear and in detail. "
" Excellent site and service "
" Fantastic car rental provider ! "
" excellant service and easy to book "
" 1. Nobody waiting with name board at airport as indicated, had to search for bus to take us to depot. 2. No instruction book in car and when we had puncture I did not know how to change tyre. 3. Had to travel to Go-Rent head office in Torres Verdas to get tyres changed and there was a very long wait there. 4. No instructions on where to return car at end of rental and when we arrived at airport we discovered that there deopt had moved during our holiday and it was pruely by luck that we met a rep who guided us to correct address!! This could have been disasterous if we had not been very early for our flight!! 5. Having had these problems however, the staff were all very friendly and helpful and I would use this company again "
" great experience all round, efficient and excellent value. your local partners, 'Go Rent', yet again are fantastic, kind and very helpful. "
" Lovely couple of gentlemen, kind considerate and very helpful. So relaxed, wonderful start to the holiday. It was only a short break so the start of it was quite important. The car was really good, great fun to drive. "

" Easy to use web site, you know from the beginning which Hire Company you will be dealing with. "
" I find Avis employees very efficient, polite, smart and easy to deal with. I like to use Avis whenever possible! "
" The only problem was the very late reply to my request. We needed the car on Monday morning and we received the confirmation that same morning instead of one or two days before... It was stressful and we were late for the meeting. "
" Very professional and helpfull people are working there. Nice car, in good condition... Must have a GPS to find their parking when returning the car. Charging 120 Euros for a full tank and the impossible thing is to return the empty tank. Calculate the difference..... The car rent is not cheep as presented... "
" Completely hassle-free experience. "
" The car was fine and there was a very good service at both ends of the hire period. "
" Have used Auto Europe often and am always pleased with the service and price. "
" The car was great, we asked for a diesel so it was big but there were no small diesels so it was ok. You had to pay the diesel they had in the tank and then bring the car back empty which was strange and I can imagine they always gain in the end, noone can pla to bring it back empty! But apart from that they are helpful and professional. Not based at the airport but they drive you to the office and drive you back to the airport when you fly back. "
" very good service. quick information and very easy at the airport. definitely recommend and definitely use again. "
" good service lots of suggested extras that could bump the price . but excellent service. would re-book "
" The service was very good and I was satisfied with the cost. "
" The car from Go Rent was clean, performed well and the petrol tank was full. The person in the office was helpful and courteous. "
" Excellent site and customer services "
" Excellent service provider "
" I was very pleased with the gentleman who dealt with me at Lisbon. I was disappointed that it was not more prominent the charge for a one-way rental. The charge wasn't obvious. "
" the car hire company, interreent are located away from the airport which is very inconvenient and qhuite hard to find - even with as satnav "
" see above....otherwise ok "
" good service, great to have free cancellation as my plans changed and had to fly in different dates than originally expected "
" they charged me for a full tank of gas of 40 litters even though my fiat panda only took 35. The rental fee was very low and they use these "tricks" to make clients pay more. I felt this was very unfair. "
" Very good service and very helpful. "
" Very good overall, I have used your company many times "
" Very efficient! Good quality vehicles at all times. "
