Full of Roman history and ancient monuments, the enchanting city of Pula in the Istria region of northern Croatia is one of the country's most popular destinations. The town's star attraction is without doubt its huge 20,000-seater Roman amphitheatre built by Emperor Vespasian in 1 AD, around the same time as Rome's famous Colosseum. Once used for gladiator fights and jousting tournaments, the arena is still used today as a first-class concert venue for performers from all over the world. Of equal interest to visitors is the nearby Roman Forum, a large and very vibrant pedestrianised area right in the centre of the city. This ancient precinct has been the beating heart of Pula for over two thousand years and its centrepiece, the very well-preserved Temple of Augustus, is just one of its visitor attractions. The Museum of Everyday Life and Good Memories (aka MEMO) offers a fascinating insight into post-World War II Pula, focusing on such aspects as music, cuisine, fashion, education, housing, films, children's games and the car industry. Another of the city's must-see museums is the House of Istrian Olive Oil, which tells the story of olive growing in the Istria region from the time of the Romans to the present day.

" As we were a little late arriving for pick up no car available. The woman was aggressive / rude/ dismissive. We were left isolated and she showed no compassion or concern. Fortunately a young man in Dollar/ Thrifty helped us out. Was warm / friendly / calm and helpful. We were so grateful to him. We now await a refund for monies paid. The company made no effort to contact us about late arrival. So stressful! "

" The car pick up was not acceptable, auto Europe should know where the desk of Carjoy is in the airport and also what this is called locally. The advice to walk from the airport was simply wrong. Please make sure you provide details of what the local desk is called and where it is located when you provide the car rental details. "
" There is nowhere in Pula airport inside or out that is called CarJoy. We rang the auto Europe helpline and they directed us to walk a few kilometres to a different site which was incorrect advice. Only when we asked at most of the other local car rental desks did we finally find someone who told us where to go. "

" Why use a comparison site? It's convoluted and adds in an unnecessary middle man. "
" The only positives of my rental experience were the fact I had a car and I caught my flight. I didn't notice the small print about Maxx Europe not being based at the airport - my fault. However, I was picked up and got to the dealership smoothly. My credit card was not recognised - a Nationwide Visa. There was no issue at Nationwide so I can only assume suspicious transactions have been flagged at some point. The inconvenience of the drop off for the car was that it needs to be at the dealership which is only open at certain times. You could only see the opening times upon paying for the car, therefore; to avoid paying €50 I called Maxx Europe to ensure there would be someone there at 8am. They assured me there would be which would give me just enough time for my flight. After two phone calls, one not picked up and the other handled very rudely; I was eventually met by Julian at 8.20. He was really nice and apologetic but the experience was needlessly stressful. I was assured I would be met to handover the car at 8am. I was not. I found the whole rental experience frustrating and will never use Auto Europe again or recommend anyone use Maxx Rent. For me the moral of this story is not to use a comparison site and use people at the airport. Anything else is a false economy. On a plus note the car was clean and easy to use. "

" AutoEurope yes, they are fine but never again with carwiz. The hardback was fine as it was a different agent but I would have bet if it had been the same agent he would have found a fault. And it was all because he wanted to up sale on the excess insurance and I expect many so fall for it. We used yourselves as your price was so good but if you have to add all the insurance it is higher and this needs to be considered and if you already have your own you should not have to justify it. As I said before this was the first time it had been really intimidating "
" This is the first time we have encountered a really hard sell from a rental car agency to the point that we did not want to use the car at all. We have our own excess policy as we have more than 1 holiday a year and the agent said it was invalid and wanted to look at it and said it would not cover anything . I did not let him see this as I felt threatened . On the handover he went over the car to such an extreme to say that we should not park under trees because of anything falls we are liable for everything . I asked that surely there must be consideration for wear and tear and was told no. There was the tiniest little dink on the car and this was pointed out and marked on the sheet as damage, any other agent would not have done this. This scared us to the extent we did not use the car as much as we would have normally "

" On arrival at Pula airport the check in was going well until the credit card (Nationwide Visa) was declined. I tried another card (Santander Mastercard) - also declined. Carwiz said they could not supply me with the car but asked another provider to help who offered me a car for €380! I declined and made other arrangements and related my experience to Auto Europe on my return, who promised to investigate but I have heard nothing - very disappointing and £141 spent and no refund! "

We walked to the car parking area and did the rental paperwork on the car bonnet. There was no one available to inspect the car on return (08:30am) and the keys were left at an empty Europcar kiosk (as requested). The fuel policy was to return with same amount as on collection, not 'full to full' as advertised.

" The booking experience was ok, but whilst you offer deals for these dodgy local companies (that admittedly aren't really your fault) I will find it hard to recommend you to others. "
" There were 3 problems, the last of which was in my opinion a complete rip-off. Active is just a bunch of local fraudsters looking to make money from tourists. Here were the issues with the car hire: 1 When we came to pick up the car there was nobody to help us. There was a number on a piece of paper at the desk, which we phoned, but they only turned up 45 minutes later. 2 The car they gave us was old - 45,000 miles on the clock and lots of damage (but more on that later). Furthermore, the fuel tank was half full! How are we supposed to bring it back exactly half full? I think it is their way of saving a bit of money because they know we will probably over-estimate when we refill the tank, thus giving them a bit of petrol for free. 3 Here's the sting. When we returned it they pointed out salt stains on a couple of the seats, and charged us 100 Euros for cleaning it. There are several things wrong with this, but the main one was that they were charging us for internal damage when they did not do an internal checks when handing over! I felt slightly dumb about this as we didn't do any internal check either, but we have never been charged for the state of the interior, and i must have rented 100 cars in my time. Total rip-off. "

We arrived late Saturday evening and the car was fixed first thing on Monday. The agents were friendly and helpfull. "

" Auto Europe were contacted at the pick up time but claimed they were unable to provide a refund at that time. I contacted them again on my return and a refund has been promised. I think you need to be very clear about the conditions being imposed at each location by your agents. "
" Oryx required a deposit of over £1000 to be held on my credit card for 3 to 4 weeks after the car was returned. This was unacceptable and the rental was declined. This was not made clear at the booking stage. In my view there is no justification for this and I was not prepared to have to contact someone in Croatia to sort it out if the refund was not made.. "

" FIRST AND LAST TIME BOOKING WITH AUTO-EUROPE/ CARWHIZZ "
" NEVER, EVER WILL I USE ANY COMPANY THAT DEALS WITH CARWIZ. I arrived in pula ,went to carwiz desk then was immediately harressed to take their insurance to which i told them i had to extra insurance,desk clerk said she had no copy of this, i then showed her the confirmation but again she said she had no copy of this. I told her i was not taking her insurance went to pay security deposit with card and it got declined tried again declined ,I then said could i not sign using card ,she said No. I then tried to use my visa debit card she said she i would now then need to take their insurance which came to roughly £261 at which point I just said forget it and paid £100 taxi to resort. While waiting for taxi next customer recieved the same treatment only they paid the extra insurance. on reaching resort taking to other guests they also had the same problems with credit cards being declined bit they were allowed to sign instead. on arriving home i tried credit card and lo and behold pin number is correct. I hire cars all the time on holiday mostly in the USA and have never had any problems,I now wish i had took advice from previous comments on tripadvisor because they were 100% correct. I am not looking for any money back or compensation but you should look at your suppliers who are damaging your reputation. "

" Additional Driver - We showed licence and offered to pay 25 euros for this when we picked up the vehicle. We were told that this will be taken upon drop off. We were not informed that we would be charged extra for aged 71 driver although his passport details was checked. When we did drop off, I was charged 560 Croatian Kuna (approx £65) because of additional driver's age. This should have been made clear at the start so that we could make a decision whether to go ahead. I felt this was unfair and poor service. we and other customers also had to wait 20 minutes for Air Rent staff to attend the office at 9.20am. "

When the accuracy of the statements was challenged their attitude became very unpleasant. Given this experience at collection we were worried about the return process. However, return was of the car was efficient and friendly experience.......Thankfully ! But it was something that worried us during our stay.

" Generally not a bad experience with Oryx - smooth process to collect a car, clearly marked marks on the car on the paper. and a good return to a different location. I, although, think it's a rip off when they charge extra 50 euros to cross the boarder. Trying to also rip you off on their insurance - I believe as I am a woman - a staff member told me WHEN I get a flat tire (or two) I will have to ring them for AA assistance, and as they only are open until X o'clock I will have to wait until the next day. thanks for believing that I cannot change one myself. and in fact will get worst case and get 2 flat tires at once.

" Air rent car was good but i had to pay an extra 118€ on top of yhe £76 i had paid autoeurope. This was to improve yhe insurance so that the excess was brought down from approx 1200€ to 500€. This also meant that should there be a small incident i would not need a police report for which there is apparently a charge of 300 € by the police. I feel that Autoeurope should have made the large xs clear before i booked the car. I was only made aware of it a couple of days before my holiday.

" As above, completely brow beaten into paying for extra insurance after a 3 hour flight with kids in tow. It took us an hour to get the car!! "
" So I pay just over £600 to hire the car and when I get to Pula airport we had an intense selling/scare mongering session that lasts about an hour. They tell us stories about cars being damaged on car parks, having to cough up for scratches and dents to alloy wheels. It just went on and on and on until we surrendered and payed another £400 for extra insurance!! Absolutely disgusting and this will be going on trip advisor unless somebody contacts me within the next 7 days. After driving for two weeks the roads in Croatia are low congestion, huge car parks with plenty of room and other drivers courteous. I really don't know why I was given the hard sell when the risks are clearly very low and the cost is extortionate!!! "

This additional charge was hidden at the bottom of p3 in the voucher in very small print and not at all clear (if mentioned at all) during the booking process - this is poor They then tried to give us a smaller car in a lower group than we'd paid as they didn't have our size of car available.

We were accompanied to our vehicle and the check of the car's condition done in our presence. While the car had obviously had many markings by previous occupants both on paintwork and upholstery, these were all noted down. The young gentleman was very diligent and polite. On our return we parked up and, by the time we had lifted our baggage from the boot, the same member of staff arrived (a walk of 100 metres or so), as he said he had seen us arrive. It was so helpful not to have to go to the desk and back again at that point in our journey. He again was diligent but not in a manner that suggested or made us feel like he expected to find additional damage, allowing us to continue our homeward journey swiftly and unstressed.

" Auto Europe has been really useful on the phone. I will definitely use it again. But the company active has been terrible and even after telling them no effort was made "
" Very low service quality. Here is the list of things about the car state when we got it: - filthy inside and outside - tank filled up to 5/8 - a few bumps - front tires used up to the indicator, could have explored at any time on the highway considering the heat and the drive. About the counter staff: - InActive and unwilling to find solutions. - when I got to the reception with my phone (couldn't find a way to print my voucher) the person didn't wanted to help me find a solution to have it sent to him. I had to insist for 10 minutes for him to finally let me send the voucher to the companies whatsapp so that he could process it. I event realized the number was ment for that , he simply didn't want to help me out at first. - when handing the car back the guy charged me 30 euros for 1/8 of gas missing... saying that this was the charge for going them self's to fill it.... as it wasn't full in the first place when I picked it up I doubt they actually filled it... Finally, everything could have gone great, the car was not so hold and if had been clean and the staff helpful they this could have gone very differently.

" Poor customer service, I would not recommend at all. "
" Arrived at the desk and waited as there was a customer ahead of me. When I did get attended to I was informed my car was not available as the previous customer using the vehicle had not returned it yet, they tried to offer me a smaller vehicle, to which I said would not be suitable. I then said if they would like to upgrade it the girl spoke to her boss and I never got an answer back on it. I then suggested that if they paid for a taxi to my hotel they could deliver the car when it had been returned (this was only about 6 miles away) again there was no response. Aledgedly the car had then been returned and they were going to clean it before we could take it and they bought us a coffee while we waited for this to be done and they would ring me when it was ready. Over an hour later I walked back to the desk and they said oh yes your car is now ready (no call). We just needed to do the paperwork they then tried to charge me €32.50 because it was Croatia day and a public holiday and was trying to say I was lucky they were there in the first place. All in all the service was poor, it made a poor start to our holiday "

" Autoeuropa online booking system was easy to use "
" The initial staff were extremely helpful as we had made the booking quite last minute and never received a confirmation email with a car hire voucher. The car was clean but had some damage on it. The fuel tank was recorded as being 5/8 full when we collected it. When we used the car we put 200 kuna of fuel in it which filled it from empty up to 5/8 again. However, the journey to the airport meant that the tank at drop off was 3/8 full. We were happy to pay for the difference in fuel. Active demanded 200kuna to cover the 2/8 less fuel!! They insisted us that if we didn't pay this in cash it would cost much more if they put the charge'through the official system'. It spoiled the whole experience to be honest. So we won't be recommending them or using them again. "

" Upon drop off of the car, a small scratch was found underneath the front bumper which I was told I would have to pay for. The scratch was underneath the front of the car which I had not inspected but will do in future because of this experience. I have never had to inspect the underneath of a hire car before in my life. After a long stressful period the agent said that I didn't have to pay anything as it was covered on the insurance. Surely they could have checked this before wasting 30 minutes blaming me for something that was obviously there prior to my hiring the car but as I say l couldn't prove it as I don't normally inspect the underneath of a hire car.

" The Air Rent employee was incredibly rude and unhelpful. There was a complete absence of customer service. "
" On arrival at Pula Airport we were told we were too early and the car we had booked was not yet available and we were told to wait. The wait in the end was 1hr 45mins. When the time came for us to return to the desk, we waited 20 mins while your colleague was summoned from a shopping trip by her boss. We were then told our car was still not available so they would give us another, slightly bigger, car. We were asked to put down a deposit of 10,000 kuna which equates to over £1000 which was over the credit limit of my card and therefore declined. Thankfully my partner had his card. As it was raining your colleague was unwilling to show us the car before we signed the vehicle condition form. We then couldn't leave the airport car park due to an apparent problem with the exit barrier camera not recognising Air Rent cars. Despite tying to contact the Air Rent desk we ended up being helped by an airport employee to finally get on our way more than 2 hours after landing. "

We arrived at Ridecar office at 8. 10 and no one was there, all the other rental offices were open. we also wanted to discuss a small dent on the wheel arch that occurred on a rock when parking. We were disappointed when we were charged £80 for fuel. On challenging Ridecar they sent me a signed copy of document stating the vehicle will be returned with a full tank of feull.

" Booking through auto europe was ok, but I was not clear that the car was being provided by Nova. This meant that I did not have the opportunity to do any research on Nova's reputation before committing myself. "
" Staff were friendly and car good. However, pick up was very chaotic as Nova do not have a desk at Pula and we had to wander round the airport arrivals area until we found someone with a 'Nova' shirt on. We were then directed to wait in the airport cafe with a number of other customers and wait to be dealt with by very overworked (but still friendly) staff. We then had a further wait outside for more than half an hour before our car actually turned up. The whole process took a couple of hours. Not a great start to the holiday.

The vehicle was not full of fuel (driven from Porec to Lanterna resort) when delivered. The gap dropped to 7/8's in the first 5km. In short I did not have the car when I most needed it (airport to destination and shop for essentials first day), I had to pay 110 euros that I should not have and I returned the car full.

" Auto Europe could not help us satisfactorily with our problem. We paid money up front for a rental which did not materialise, then Auto Europe would not arrange a replacement car for us. We were told we would have to make a new booking for a car, paying out AGAIN, and then claim back the money for the original rental when we returned home. It is difficult to contact Auto Europe by telephone, and I cannot fill in the claims form online because the options given for a customer complaint do not match our issue. I've emailed and sent details of our booking and our problem, but am still awaiting a satisfactory response and a refund. I am disgusted with this service and would never use Auto Europe again, nor would I recommend friends and family to do so. We ended up paying a higher rate for a smaller car for less time on holiday, when we had already paid money in good faith to yourselves for car hire for our entire stay. In twenty years of hiring cars we have never encountered such appalling service, and are now considering legal advice if we don't get a swift refund, some kind of compensation and an apology. "

This caused the headache above with Air Rent who expected a police report for any damage as we weren't insured directly with them. It would be helpful if this was made absolutely clear when taking out this Insurance. "
" Drop Off staff were not friendly and tried to charge us for 2 tiny scratches on the bumper of the car. One of them I couldn't even see. This was an old car that had done a lot of miles. I dont understand why general wear and tear is not considered as normal. It just felt like we were being scammed. Thankfully we weren't charged in the end but we had to argue unnecessarily about it. As a result of this I will not be using Air Rent again. It seems very short sighted to look for the tiniest of scratches so you can get a bit of immediate cash out of your customers, but as a result those same customers will not use your service again.

" Overall, good welcome service, very poor drop off. Simple check out with letter box at the airport would have smooth up the whole experience, especially when agent does not have an office on the site. "
" It was really nice to have a care rental representative waiting for me on arrival. checking went very quick. The drop-off was totally bad experience. The car rental representative called me to 1h before drop off time saying he will not be able to pick up keys from me. The actual car came from Nova company, which does not have offices at the airport. But surely they should have invested in a post boxes where people could just drop things off for quick checkout?! Finally when car company managed to sent someone else to take the keys off, I was asked to provide credit card to secure deposit - this was already done on the check in so I was bit surprised about the procedure. Moreover, the guy scanned it 3 times, each time asking for PIN and authorisation. Which was explained as needed to secure deposit and then unblock it. This is something I have never came across with other companies and still need to check transactions on my account as I do not believe they were right. "

" Staff weren't very helpful in assisting with overall controls of the car. As no maps given by them we asked about getting going in the right direction and they weren't interested. "
" We were disappointed to find that the car we were given had not been cleaned. They said they hadn't had time to clean it. It not nice to get into a car not valeted. There was also no screen wash in the car which caused us an issue when we needed to use and found it was empty. It made us wonder about other basic car maintenance. "

" Generally poor condition of the vehicle, not worth what we paid. "
" We paid a lot of money in comparison with better known hire companies (that we've used before) expecting quite a new vehicle in reasonably good condition. The car was dented, dirty inside and out - obviously not cleaned between hires and not valeted in a long time. Rear electric window switch missing and rear A/C controls broken and not working. The low oil warning constantly displayed and the ad-blue 2500km overdue for a top up. On the whole, not what i expected for the price paid! "

" Straightforward for us since we had no incidents during the trip. Therefore, it is difficult to tell how good the experience would be in case something goes wrong. "
" ACTIVE car rental was overall a satisfying experience. The only thing that did not impress was the long procedure to pick up the car. People before us had to wait very long already and delayed us additionally. I believe that if one rents a car at 3 pm and arrives in advance, it should be able to leave before 4.15 pm. "

" No problems with the booking. Everything was smooth. "
" The pick up experience in Pula was great and the staff member was excellent even though we had forgotten to print out the voucher. She allowed us to email it to her and printed it herself. The drop off in Split however was an absolute nightmare. The location had no dedicated drop off point and after phoning we were told to go into a public car park near the office. Split was extremely busy however and the car parks were full and turning people away. We literally drove around the busy centre of Split for an hour with increasingly frantic phone calls to the office trying to find a place to leave the car. I find it astonishing that a car hire company can operate without an actual drop off location. I may recommend Nova but not for anyone going to Split. "

" I will raise a formal complaint once I have completed travel and am in a position to do so. Whilst Nova performed well, a charge was made for transiting Bosnian corridor. as there is no other way to get from Pula to Dubrovnik, this cost should have been explicit on booking. I emailed on this matter during the hire but go no resolution from your office prior to paying bill. "

" I might change my mind about not recommending them after I have heard how they are handling my NO SHOW FEE issue "
" Our flight was delayed by 2 hours. We had to phone ABC to come and meet us. ABC Rent then proceeded to charge us (we had 2 cars with them) a 70 euro per car NO SHOW FEE as our flight had been delayed and we weren't there on time. The NO SHOW FEE per car cost more than each car did for the week. I ohoned Auto-Europe immediately who said that they could not help us other than arrange two different cars at a much higher cost to what we had paid originally. I obviously declined, and paid each NO SHOW FEE on my card. I have contacted auto-Europe upon my return, and am awaiting to hear from them concerning this unacceptable episode. "

" Apart from being charged €50 unnecessarily everything else was ok. "
" Our plane landed one hour late and we joined the queue at the car wiz desk just before 23.00, by the time it was our turn at the desk we were told that because it had now gone past 11 pm we will be charged €50. I feel that this was unnecessary because if they were not so slow at booking people in at the carwiz desk we would have been on time. I wonder if they take their time because of this. "

" Should have had more information on the voucher about how to contact the Pula office of Nova rentacar. The only information as the switchboard, which didn't have an option for the Pula office. This added to the delay and meant I made more phone calls than I needed to. "
" When we arrived at Pula airport there was noone to greet us. I had to phone the Nova office (and there was no option on the switchboard to choose the Pula office) and was told to wait at the Hertz desk, which I did. Eventually Antonio came over and asked me to wait because he was dealing with another customer. When I finally got to the car it transpired that Nova had hired it from Hertz to rent to me, as they had no spare cars because they had had lots of 'walk ins'! This is despite the fact that I had booked and paid for my car months earlier. The car I was given had many scratches and a large crack on the passenger side of the windscreen as well as over 36000 k on the clock. No hubcabs on one side... I was just about to drive off when I noticed that the tank was only half full. This was despite me paying for a full to full fuel policy. After some protracted negotiation Antonio and Ivan agreed to drive us to Pula in the car and fill the car up with petrol, which is how I returned it. We were the last people to leave the airport, so it wasn't a fast getaway. Dropping off the car was fine, but it would have been helpful if I had been given the Pula office phone number to tell them I was there. "

" I would expect Auto Europe to take more care to avoid renters such as Fleet! "
" The worse experience of car renting I had in years: 1. Staff at the counter did not like to take credit card on different name and it took 45 minutes to sort it out; 2. The car was available for another 30 min; 3. The car we've got was different (smaller) size than ordered, very dirty inside and very dirty outside; 4. By pointing out that this is not the size of the car we ordered, we were advised to 'take it or leave it'. Only after insistence and arguing we were promised to get replacement later that day, which did interfere with our plans but eventually did happen. "

" Car was fantastic, but had the stress of thinking if damage was caused the extra cover I had taken out was worthless and I would have to deal with all the hassle that would bring when I was of the mind the premium insurance would cover that. "
" We paid for the auto Europe insurance upgrade but was told at collection this was pointless and meaningless. I was very disappointed to be told that. If we had had a crash we would have had a the hassle of having to payout to the hire car provider and then claim back from auto Europe which is not what I would expect when paying for an upgrade in cover.

" Autoeurope is my favourite car rental site. I have been using them for years and can not believe it when some of my friends tell me his much more they pay fot their car rentals. I suppose more money than sense! Anyway, they are the first port of call when renting the car! I line the choices, money back in case of cancellations and great prices and curtioys staff when needed to cancell my reservations. "
" Straight forward and uncomplicated and not trying to ripp me off which sometimes some rental companies have been trying to do for all sorts of silly reasons and forgetting that they are going to lose out on good reputation. So yes, Air Rent were definitely a good and smooth experience. "

" I wasn't expecting to have to leave a 950 euro deposit for the duration of the hire period. I was told that if I had an accident, i would have to pay the excess and then reclaim it from Auto Europe. This should be made clear when hiring. "
" The car wasn't well valeted, the booking in & out process was very slow because of under staffing. Admittedly, the customer in front (there were only 2 of us) had booked the wrong dates and sorting that out took time. However I consider half an hour from arriving at the desk to getting the car to be unacceptable. The return was only a little better, which is more stressful when you have a plane to catch. I am always concerned when there is pre-existing damage, even if is logged. There were several scrapes and dents on the car - presumably previous clients had paid a fine for those to be repaired. "
