Prague, the proud capital of the Czech Rebublic, is one of Europe's architectural treasure troves. It's a city that never fails to enchant its many visitors with a delightfully romantic historic quarter so full of attractions that people return time and time again. Affectionately known as the City of a Thousand Spires, it's a joy to saunter through downtown Prague's spectacular squares and across its magnificent bridges stretched lazily over the Vltava River. Few cities can match its delightful mix of Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance and Art Nouveau architecture, particularly around the wonderful Wenceslas Square, home to the world-famous National Museum. But Praque's star tourist attraction is without doubt its imposing walled fortress, the biggest castle complex in the world and today the Czech President's official residence. Built in 870 AD, it comprises St George's Basilica, the Old Royal Palace, Golden Lane, St Vitus Cathedral and the Powder Tower. After the castle, take a leisurely stroll through Prague's atmospheric town square (Staromestské Námestí) to marvel at the early 15th-century Astronomical Clock which continues to faithfully spring to life on the hour, every hour. And you can't leave Prague without walking across the city's iconic Charles Bridge, which was originally constructed in 1357 and now ranks as one of the country's most popular tourist sites.

" I've used Auto Europe before and will use again. Very easy to book and best prices. Could do with some sort of loyalty scheme, that would make it even better. "
" First time I booked with Budget and it was incredibly smooth! Better than other companies at the airport. Very quick in processing our details and giving us the car, very polite, no queues and they are open much later than other companies so perfect for late arrival. Drop off also very easy and efficient. Car was great, exactly as we expected. "

" The Skoda was in excellent condition and very clean, the attendant person was very professional and helpful. The only issue I had was with the navigator, which was not updated. It has shown routes, which have no longer there and did not include newly built codes. Also there were routes which were not accessible but pedestrians, emergency and police and local drivers with permit key. Other than this, the experience was very nice. "

" The booking overall went smoothly. It would be handy if the voucher could be produced on an app, rather than via a paper copy as I do not have a printer at home, so I had to find somewhere else to print it. "
" The only problem I had is that there was no clarity on where to drop the car at Brno Airport. The signage was very small for the hire car return. Additionally, when I finally found where to return it, all of the Budget car spaces were full, and there were no staff on hand outside to give me guidance. Instead, I had to drive into the normal paid car park and drop it off at arrivals. "

" We are pretty sure our bad experience was one off and hoping to use your services again as we are travelling to Europe frequently and were otherwise satisfied with your services. However, we will never use Budget at Wilsonovo nadrazi again. "
" We took a car from Budget Wilsonovo Nadrazi – Praha around 4 pm on 23 October to drive to Cheb. It was dark, so we didn't notice car's conditions but the car smelled and I was having a strange itchiness over my hands and face. Later, we found out dog's hair everywhere, namely in the boot that was impossible to use. We vacuum the whole car twice but hair still remained. Upon our return to Prague on 27 October, we called the central office to replace the car. A man was extremely apologetic and organise a car replacement. In contrary, a man in the garage was very rude, told us to vacuum it by ourselves or go to more expensive car renting agency that provide better service. When we showed him the car's boot full of hair, he finally proceeded with changing a car as instructed from the office. A new car was almost spotless. "

" they forgot to give me a carpark exit ticket, so I had to go back and get it. when i wanted to extend the rental by 1 day, they gave me the wrong date. no big problem, maybe just a typo, but not very competent. Car was a Seat Leon, not a Golf as advertised. I know all car hire companies do this... but it would be nice if they showed the picture of the cheaper car and gave you a better one.. it is always they other way round. "

" I have been given great car which really pleased me. Unfortunately the right back tyre was not fitted properly therefore every day I had to top the pressure up :-(. I was offered to go back to the airport and exchange the car but it was really inconvenient for me as I was already miles away from the airport. The customer service was good but I could really do without worrying about the car! The following day I returned the car back I was contacted by the branch that there was a set of keys found in the car (which I haven't realised I lost) and offered to deliver the keys back to me which I very much appreciated!

" excellent service - well done. we were worried that booking a Skoda Octavia "or similar" would be a problem (some cars in the same class are too small for 2 week a family holiday) but we got exactly what we requested. Do try to make the type of car rented a more secure arrangement as this makes us far more likely to use a rental service and is an important decider alongside price and reputation. We by annual " insurance excess" insurance each year - which is better that having to make decisions at the airport about buying "extras" when you are tired and stressed. Why not sell this to your customers. "
