With its impressive collection of world-class museums and monuments, Toulouse is the natural gateway for anyone visiting the hinterlands of southern France, with plenty of car hire pick-up options at Toulouse Airport, Toulouse-Matabiau Train Station and other convenient locations in and around the city centre. The fourth-largest city in the country, it is affectionately known as La Ville Rose (The Pink City) due to the colour of many of its buildings. Home to two UNESCO World Heritage sites, namely the Canal du Midi and the Basilica of St. Sernin (the biggest Romanesque building in Europe), this ancient city combines a warm, temperate climate with all the thrills of hiking and skiing in the Pyrénées mountains less than two hours away by car. Don’t leave Toulouse without sampling the cassoulet, a hearty stew of local sausage, white beans and duck confit. The city is also famous for its air travel connections, being the headquarters of both Airbus and France’s space exploration centre, the Cité de l’Espace located right on the edge of town.
Founded in 1954, Auto Europe has since grown into one of the world’s leading car rental brokers working with all the largst and most prestigious global car hire companies such as Alamo, Budget, Hertz, Alamo, Dollar, Enterprise, Europcar and Sixt. You can book your car hire in Toulouse and other large cities in France in a few quick and easy steps through our high-tech booking engine, guaranteeing the cheapest prices and widest choice of vehicles in the process.

" On pick up, the car was on a lower floor of the car park. This was fairly dark. I was assured the car had no damage so drove it out, noticiing later on reaching my dstination that there was a ver slight dent in the driver side rear door. I assunmed this was allowable for a "no damage" report but luckily my wife had taken photographs. On return, I dropped off the keys and left, getting a note later to say I would be charged. Fortunately I was able to return to the desk an hour later to show the photo and the charge was scrubbed. If we had left town, this would not have been possible and re-claiming the charge would have been very complicated. May I suggest NOT doing car pick up fom a gloomy location and making photos a requirement rther than advice. "
" Very helpful staff, but picking up the car from the relative gloom of a lower floor in the car park meant we could not see the slight dent that we were later almost charged for. "

" Please read above. I will never use this once reputable company again. I will also share this experience with all friends and family. "
" We were quite simply scammed from the beginning - the car had many superficial signs of damage. As the car was black it was incredibly difficult to capture them photographically despite all our efforts. All four hubcaps were visibly damaged but easier to prove from the photos. We knew that there was mal intent from the start as when we returned the car, the representative cited he only had a record of one hubcap having been damaged. Fortunately, he could not argue when presented with the photographic evidence to the contrary. All the other damage on the black car body that we'd photographed he simply rejected and said they were just "reflections" and proceeded to hand me an iPad, incensed and in shock, we had a flight to catch, I had no time to think and just simply signed. I really wish I hadn't. The whole experience from the time we picked up the car felt unnerving - the extra insurance we were being overly encouraged to take out (which would have almost been the same amount as the car rental itself), was simply not an option. This should have been pointed out when booking the rental. The representative cited that should a small stone on the motorway scratch the windscreen, we'd be expected to pay 2000€! I chose Hertz from your site because I opted (although not the cheapest) for what I thought was a reputable company. I have had dealings with you in the past and have been completely satisfied. I have sent both yourselves and Hertz emails to express how totally unacceptable this unscrupulous behaviour we unfortunately experienced which both marred the beginning and mostly the end of our short trip to France, having been charged a ridiculous amount of money for damages that we did NOT cause to this hired car. I may not receive an appropriate response from either of you but will take this opportunity to approach some form of wider media. If from this experience I can make others much more aware and super vigilant, then the 500+€ I paid for a basic car for less than a week will have been worth it. "

" Goldcar forced me into taking out an expensive insurance policy, doubling the cost of my car hire, by hiking the rate of their caution so much so that I couldn't meet it on my credit card. (If I had been warned I possibly could have done). As I have my own care hire insurance I don't need theirs, so instead, always opt for them keeping back a sum, a caution, on my credit card and returning it at the end of the hire. In May the retained sum was raised from 1000 to 1,500 euros. On arrival on 1st September I found it had been hiked again to 2,000 euros with no warning . The company did not want to accept the limit on my card, which is a little over the 1,500.00 sum I had paid in May. I have been hiring from them for years and have never damaged their cars. I feel their behaviour was a cynical exercise in forcing me to take out an insurance policy I did not need by hiking the deposit to this level. It doubled the cost of the car hire. It's a poor reward for my loyalty. I would not use them again and would certainly never recommend them. "

" Be aware that the car needs to be clwaned before returning ! "
" Thre big remark I have is that they did not make it clear at rental that you need to clean the car when you return it. I speak fluent French and English so there was no issue with not understanding. They just did not say it and charged me €80 afterwards. That is very disappointing. I use rentals in the UK and it is common practice there that the rental company cleans the car which is included in the rental price. "

" Booing was easy but the cost of insurance is never clear with car rental companies and it feels like a rip off when they try to charge you at pick up when they know you are in a rush "
" Everything was fine except (1) picking up the car: the paperwork takes forever which is ridiculous given technology today (2) the insurance suggested by the staff member would have cost more than the rental. This just smells of rip off. Your price should include a sensible level of insurance to avoid a conversation at pick up which just feels like you are ripping off the customer "

" Brilliant - shame about EUROCAR sharp practice "
" EUROPE Car forced me into an Upgrade costing 205.52 Euros after claiming my booked car was no longer available as i had arrived late to collect it. I had to Q for nearly 2 hours to be served at the collection office and had previously advised you that my flight had been rescheduled to arrive later than my original booking. On inspection of the available cars outside Eurocar in Toulouse they had several available cars matching my original booking and i suspect the forced upgrade to a higher classification Automatic model was a money making ploy.

" Initially good but a disappointing end-result "
" The staff for collection were very polite and helpful. They offered a range of upsell-models however I was happy with the level I had ordered, which turned out to be an MG-ZS. The condition of the car was below par - badly dented rear r/h door, badly dented l/h rear wing, badly marked rear bumper. The most disappointing thing was that, upon return, I realised I hadn't filled with petrol, it was 1/2 full. I wholly realise this was my fault and expected to pay a premium. As I had returned the car nearly 3 hours before my flight, I asked if I could take it and fill it up. The attendant told me it was too late to do that and there was nowhere nearby. I asked how much they charged to fill it and he said 3 euro/litre.... which seemed excessive compared to the 1.60ish I would have paid at a station. This was a significant understatement however. They actually charge 3.29 PLUS VAT is marginally short of 4 euro/litre PLUS a 20 euro service charge to refill. It cost around 130 euros for 28 litres. If that isn't daylight robbery I'm not sure what is? "

" We use Auto Europe a lot, but this time you have let us down badly. When we learnt that our flight was going to be delayed and realised Europcar desk would be closed by the time we landed, we called Auto Europe to assist, as invited to on your paperwork. Having explined the situation, your rep said he would contact Europcar and adk them to hold the car, and advised there would probably be a fee for them to be there after hours which we accepted. He said he would email me the outcome and what yo di for when we landed, as no point phoning me back as we would be in the air. We accepted this plan, him having assured us he would fix it and message me. When we landed, there was no email or message from Auto Europe and the Europcar office was closed. The out of hours Auto Europe was also closed! We were stranded in Toulouse at midnight. Europcar have a lock box so if Auto Europe had contacted them, they could have arranged a code to be sent to us to access the box on arrival, but there was nothing. We had to get a taxi to a hotel, pay forxall that plus a taxi back to the airport first thing in the morning to collect our car from Europcar, belatedly. The Europcar rep said we should have picked it up last night...we explained and as outlined above he was obnoxious and said our car had gone ( how could it, we were there as soon as they opened again!) and that we would have to pay again, over 3 times the original rental price, without any reimbursement for the first booking. We have complained to Auto Europe customer services who are refusing to take any responsibility or give any refund, which is disgusting. "
" The plane was delayed so the office was closed when we arrived at midnight. We got a taxi to a hotel for the night and arrived back at Europcar in the morning to collect the car we had paid for. The Europcar rep on the desk was rude, unfriendly and not at all sympathetic to our situation, and said the car had gone and wexwoukd have tobhire a new one at more than 3 times the price of what we had already paid for, and would not even offset thexrental fee we gad already paid against a new rental. We left and they retained our money. They said they had not heard from Auto Europe. We subsequently rented from Goldcar, who were friendly and professional, although expensive, but far less than Europcar would have been. "

" As stated at Item 3 above. I think all cars should come with a spare tyre or other means of overcoming a puncture. "
" The car hire document listed a lot of external damage and when I reviewed it before setting off I found even more than was listed, so I photographed everything I could see. Sure enough, when I handed the car back the guy pointed out additional damage that was not on his list so I was saved when my photos showed that damage was there at the time I took possession of the car. So it is vitally important to photograph every bit of damage you can see before you set off and don't forget wheels, the roof, the interior and the boot. I was concerned the car had no spare tyre and no other means of overcoming a puncture except needing to call for assistance which could be a big problem if heading to the airport to catch a plane! So check this also before setting off. "

" Our flight was delayed and outwith opening ours, but staff stayed on and were ready for our arrival. They of course wanted to get home and because of this we were unable to check the condition of the car until the following morning, with staff saying they were unable to agree the condition of the vehicle the following morning. We were also unable to add a second driver for part of our trip, unless we wanted the cover to start immediately. So we returned part-way through our stay and added the second driver for the last 4 days, with staff assuring us we would be charged an extra €13 x 4. When we dropped the vehicle off at the end of our trip, staff attempted to charge us an extra €13 x 9 which was the duration of our stay. We successfully argued our agreement with previous staff. It was a great car though, and we were delighted to be able to collect the car after our delayed flight because we were staying 2 hours north of the airport. All in all a decent experience. "

" Bad experience with Europcar/Keddy "
" The Pick Up process with Keddy was worse than I've ever experienced, even worse than Goldcar! There was a long queue extending outside the reception as the service for all renters appeared to be extremely slow. When it was my turn I discovered why - the Agent (Robin) continually tried to upsell...three times! Initially for added 60 euro/day, then 30 and after disappearing for an extended period, returned with a "managers special" of 20 euro/day. I know what car I need, I rent regularly and booked exactly the car I needed for tis rental.

" We had to wait about an hour for our car as the car washing machine had broken down. The counter staff, especially the manager, were very efficient and helped everyone as fast as they could. When we finally got our car we noticed a very strong smell of cigarette smoke but as we had waited so long we just put up with it, but it was a very strong smell and we had to buy some air freshener to try to get rid of the smell which for the whole 2 weeks never did go away. There was also a very obvious dent in the bodywork just above the rear left-hand wheel. "

" Your helpline was very helpful twice when we changed pick up time and I reported what was happening on drop off, and he reassured me I was covered. However I'll avoid having to hire a car in the future "
" Scammers. On returning the vehicle they claimed I had damaged plastic under the bumper. I had driven it twice 200k each way largely motorway without incident or damage. It was parked in a private drive way. for 4 days. I had full insurance and excess cover so whatever they claimed would be paid, (perhaps they knew this) but for them to claim it was us do damaged the back end was a lie. This was a scam and they charged my card euro 260. When I picked up the car they were high pressure selling asking for euro 210 for fuel and insurance and not to charge for me using a debit card. I refused this, but I guess their scam go a payout in the end. I will never use Goldcard again, and I suggest you as a booking agent never use them. The web is full of similar stories. This scam cost me noting (as long as the insurer pays up) but if they do it to others who are innocent of causing damage that's bad. The quality of the car was poor. Lots of scratches and old and used. they said it was "going back to tyhe manufacturer" after our hire because it was so old "

When picking up car at airport we waited over an hour to pick up. I was advised if there was a mark on the car I would be charged full amount- 1.500 €. I took out daily insurance as was anxious. My receipt was said to have been emailed to me - I never received it. When I returned the car at airport, I told them this & they promised to resend- I still haven't received it. When I asked for a printed receipt I was told I would need to wait at least 30 minutes- as I needed to check in I couldn't wait.

" We generally get the best deal through Auto Europe. The small electric vehicle we were given this time was not fit for purpose and would only be of any use for short journeys in a city. Next time we will specify petrol or hybrid. "
" We booked an electric vehicle for a brief trip to our home 57 miles from Toulouse airport. Europcar upgraded the car from a Fiat 500 to a Renault ZoE to give us a greater range. After this journey, a couple of short local trips and a 34 mile round trip to a nearby town, the car had only circa 30% charge left - insufficient for the journey back to the airport. We have a new charger in our village, but the car would not charge on it. The plug in charger supplied with the car did not work. The neighbouring town had two chargers. One was broken and the other, when we eventually found it, worked. It took nearly two hours to get the charge back up to 80%. We wasted several hours of our holiday trying to charge the car which appears to have a usable range of little more than 100 miles. This is not sufficient when the charging network is inadequate.

" In my 30+ years of travelling and renting cars abroad I was somewhat mildly irritated by this rental. The counter staff were extremely friendly, however, I felt forced into paying an extra 90 euros, purely because I was driving to an area that apparently required snow tyres. Having visited this area numerous occasions I knew these tyres were not required. Furthermore the weather was very mild. I had no plans to drive in the mountains. There was no indication within the rental voucher that suggested this was an extra cost. It's not happened before, this was the first time using Keddy/Europcar, so on this basis I shall not use them again. That aside, the car was good/clean but for a three day rental, worked out quite expensive. "

" Very poor quality car with high mileage, which was probably not legal or road worthy. The speedometer was digital in mph only and we were driving in a country where all the speed limits are in kmph which made it difficult to know what speed we were actually driving at.

" My first car had a fault re the automatic braking system and had to be taken away by an engineer on day 2 ( I picked up the car in the evening on day 1) . I contacted The 24 hr helpline when the car got worse and the engineer was sent . He took 3 hrs to arrive so it was late afternoon on Saturday . When the car had been taken away I contacted the helpline again to arrange a new car and was told it was too late (4.pm ) and I would have to wait until Monday - totally unacceptable. I was then told the firm would send a taxi to where I was (90mins from Toulouse ) and I could pick a car up and drive back that evening . Again totally unacceptable. Eventually a taxi took me to the company on Sunday morning and I collected a new hire car which was fine . But I lost hours of my valuable time on my holiday on the phone , waiting for calls back which never came and then I had to go to the airport rather than a car being provided to me .

" Depends on outcome of help in resolving issues with Budget - I am a long-standing customer of Auto Europe but have not rented much via Budget. Also had a similar or poor experience with Avis a year ago so definitely avoiding Avis/Budget in the future. "
" Raising separately with your customer service team but overall experience was awful. Budget added a host of additional charges and insurance costs without flagging so the rental cost around 1/3 more than paid to auto Europe. And the agreements provided were in French so I was unable to properly review the contract before signing. Their lack of flexibility in delivering a vehicle to Carcassone airport meant overall the rental has cost me almost double what I signed with Auro Europe. "

" We have used Auto Europe for many years. Easy to deal with and efficient but only as good as the companies you book with. In this case Goldcar fell we're short of acceptable. "
" We booked an Opel Mokka or equivalent from Toulouse Airport in but were given a petrol 1.0 Seat Arona with more than 60K kilometres on the clock. The car was adequate but uneconomic and underpowered. After a few days a warning light came on. After lengthy calls to Goldcar we were told to return it to Toulouse, 130 kilometres from where we were based. We did so and were given in exchange a Jeep Renegade in poor condition and not cleaned following the previous hire. The car turned out to be fine to drive but the electronic key stopped working and we had to replace the battery. All in all a very unsatisfactory hire with too much time on frustrating phone calls to Goldcar. We are also out of pocket for the return trip to Toulouse. By and large the Goldcar staff at Toulouse very helpful, and thanks in particular to Manon who answered our e mails promptly and helpfully. "

" My experience with Auto Europe has always been good, I find the booking process easy and there is usually a good choice of providers. I will probably avoid using Keddy again; however cost is always a factor. "
" Overall my experience with Keddy was ok, but not as good as with other companies I have used. I hire from Toulouse airport fairly frequently so am familiar with the usual routine. I felt a little as though I was being pressured to upgrade the vehicle though what I had booked was what I needed. When I picked the car up I was told that the usual Total garage used to refuel upon return was closed for a year so I agreed to a prepaid fuel deposit, however on my return I found the Total garage open and was able to refuel as usual. Was this a genuine mistake or an attempt to get me to incur a refuelling charge? The only other criticism I have is that the car had no warning triangle and no yellow vest which I believe are legal requirements in France. "

" The online booking process was smooth, very easy to book but upon picking up the 4 vehicles I had hired for my retreat team I was informed that I would need to be lead driver on all vehicles and therefore need to pay an extra £52 per person on a vehicle but all payment had come from my card as opposed to the drivers registered on the car. An easy fix would have been to get them to book their own cars by sending the payment over to them, had I had known this, I would have done it. This information was not clear on the website and it then took an enormous amount of time to figure out. The staff at europe car were very unorganised a lacked communication skills - no relation to language but basic social awareness of speaking over one another.

It took me a lot of effort to get her to come with me to see the vehicle. Which then turned out to be the wrong one!!

" This was the worst car rental experience I have ever had. The Goldcar staff said initially we couldn't take the car we had booked and paid for even though we had declared on your online form we were going to Andorra. They insisted we would have to pay extra charges for Andorra and have a different vehicle with snow tyres which would cost us about £400 more than the vehicle we had paid for. They claimed it was illegal to drive the car we booked on your site to Andorra. In addition they then wanted a 2000 Euro deposit on our credit card as well as the extra charge for driving in Andorra and the extra £400 for a vehicle with snow tyres. We were totally aghast and not happy. Then the manager came to deal with us as we kept saying that it was quite clear we had booked a car on your site clearly stating we were going to Andorra and you had charged us the price we paid knowing full well we were travelling to Andorra. Goldcar kept insisting we couldn't take that car without snow tyres and without paying a 2000 euro deposit. Yet Autoeurope took our money at the point of booking and failed to tell us that we would need to pay a daily charge when we stated we were going to Andorra, never mentioned we were meant to have snow tyres and also never said they would want to take 2000 euro deposit. Your email said a credit card block of 1100 Euro would be required. We ended up having to take some insurance policy there so had to spend around 350 euro extra in order to avoid the 2000 Euro credit card charge. We were totally and utterly misold by your website. I cannot believe that you can sell us a car rental then we are expected to add on extra charges just to be able to drive the car away. As the broker Autocar knew all our details up front You know that we were going to Andorra yet the first two emails you sent after taking our payment did not say anything about extra charges for Andorra? There was no mention of needing a car with snow tyres? A company like yours would be well aware there are extra charges surely? "

Your email said a credit card block of 1100 Euro would be required. We ended up having to take some insurance policy there so had to spend around 350 euro extra in order to avoid the 2000 Euro credit card charge. We were totally and utterly misold by your website. I cannot believe that you can sell us a car rental then we are expected to add on extra charges just to be able to drive the car away. As the broker Autocar knew all our details up front You know that we were going to Andorra yet the first two emails you sent after taking our payment did not say anything about extra charges for Andorra? There was no mention of needing a car with snow tyres? A company like yours would be well aware there are extra charges surely? "

I have never been so pleased to be upgraded to a Citroen but it was extremely roomy and pleasant to drive - it made the whole hire more pleasant and convenient as were able to use it to collect a large package that wouldn't have fitted into my car.

" Attendant at pick up was a nightmare, was very stressed out. I was told by AE that the car would have snow tires as a requirement in France to drive in the mountains. Europcar did not have a SUV with snow tires hence the discussion. I don't know if its AE fault for wrong information or Europcar, nonetheless, the attendant (Soya or Soraya), had no idea how to deal with the situation and refused to rent me the car as I was getting very upset. In the end, the manager had to intervene and forced another agent to give us the car. Hugely distressing, this attendant should not be dealing with clients. "

It transpired that I was required to complete a lot more admin, and that even having been so occupied, the car still wasn't ready. As a result we were an hour late getting on the road. The final straw was being charged for returning the car 12 mins late, which wasn't true, and in any case was within the 29 mins grace period in the contract! "

" I have had car hire through AutoEurope for many years. The last few times I have gone with Europcar. At Geneva my experience has been very good. At Toulouse it wasn't all good. Partly my error, I think because I did not book the right car. I had booked a Toyota Corolla to go skiing. Unbeknown to me it did not come with winter tyres. This I found out at the counter. And then there was some negotiating with the counter person. It worked out in the end. "

" All went smoothly, and the car was without significant issue however, one large concern we had was the very strong odour of cannabis that was present and remained in the car for the duration of our trip. This was certainly not something we expected nor was it felt acceptable. Sadly due to time constraints when dropping the car off we didn't have chance to discuss this with staff but would very much appreciate this being addressed. We are hoping to become regular customers in France however, we may consider using another rental as a result of this incident. "

" Sixt has hidden costs. If the information revealing that is on your website, it is very far from obvious. I have hired many many cars over the last 30 years, I have never paid so much money for it "
" I am unhappy because a) I was charged 350 euros to 'upgrade' from a Peugeot 3008 category to a VW Tiguan and b) I was charged 250 euros for the location of the rental car at the train station. As to the upgrade, no doubt Sixt put the Tiguan into a different category to the 3008, but everyone knows that they are equivalent vehicles. The cars they offered in the 3008 category were clearly very inferior to the 3008. I suspect the 3008 is just a rogue car they put in the category to disguise the nature of the majority of the vehicles in that category - the ones that are actually available to the customer. As to the location, I have not come across such a charge before, there was nothing about this extra charge when I booked - unless it was hidden in very small print somewhere. My search was for a car picked up from the station, and I should have been charged the price quoted for it. I have challenged this with Sixt. They will not reduce the price. "

That said, the car was superb ( I managed to borrow a cable from a friend near our destination) "

" Fortunately someone got to the Goldcar office just before they intended closing it which meant we got our car. If that had not happened I'm not sure what would have happened. It appears that they don't wait around for late running flights meaning that you may get to airport but can't get your car. Need to ensure that they are made aware of late flights and to have procedure in place to deal with this. They seemed to want to sell me extra insurance items under what felt like a pressuried environment as it was late and the rep wanted to get away. "

" Given the way I believe I was mislead and then overcharged presumably at "airport prices" for the recent hire, I would actually warn people against using autoeurope "
" I booked an economy 4-door car on-line and the booking form once printed indicated this also stating "Renault Zoe Electric Car or similar". I naively assumed that "or similar" meant that a non-electric (i.e. petrol or diesel) variant in the "economy 4-door" category would have been an option for people taking a car into an area where an electric vehicle was impractical due to lack of charging points. I have no recollection of being able to select the fuel type on the booking form as if this were the case I would never have selected electric given the nature of my trip. Unfortunately when picking up the vehicle, I was assured this was not possible and was then charged substantially more for a larger diesel vehicle - above and beyond what I actually required. At 11:00pm in the evening with this car desk being the only one open in the airport there was clearly limited options! I have never been treated by a hire-car company like this before and will seriously consider never using autoeurope again "

" Cars not as they come up on your website. We booked a Qashkai or an Opel mokka which apparently you don't even have any of! We also paid an £75 for extra insurance which implied it was for full cover when booking but on collection was told that was not the case and had to £180 MORE. This is not clear on your website. Disgusted with lack of explanation on your website. Also told have to wait 10 days to get a further deposit paid. All in all a very bad company which I will NEVER use again and tell everyone I know not to use also. Vefy disappointed. The car ruined our holiday as my mother could not get in and out of the car and it also did not have a sat NAV so we had huge problems finding places. "

" Having used rental cars from Toulouse Airport in the past several years, I was apprehensive using AutoEurope and Firefly for this short duration of rental, since car was only used to deliver me to my home in Mirepoix where I then placed in garage and used my own vehicle. Previous customer experience website's tended to be very negative. Currently having returned post rental , I have to admit currently I am extremely pleased with the service I have received and would certainly recommend and use these service ( AutoEurope and Firefly) again in the future "
" Well lets not get ahead of ourselves, I still have to see my next Card invoice to make sure they are not playing games , as other upset users have posted on Internet. Until now, all was very professional and the lady on collection at Firefly could not have been any more helpful and friendly. I admit I was ( and currently am ) concerned following reports posted of "horror stories" from other customers using them in other countries, but if I have no nonsense, then I cannot recommend them ( Toulouse ) any higher. Superb service. PS !! ...to alleviate concerns I took a video of the vehicle on collection and another on return to prove all was well and car was fully fueled ..plus copies of fuel receipts posted into Toulouse Airport office. If I do not have any later dispute nonsense, I will also be taking to reporting sites to promote praise for Firefly Toulouse Airport , since there are many negatives currently doing the rounds. "

" I prebooked a car with Europcar using Autoeurope. When I took my voucher to the Europcar desk I was told that my booking had been cancelled. I then had to pay 419.70 euros to hire a car, instead of the £95.48 that I had paid to Autoeurope. I didn't cancel my booking, and do not understand why my car was not available. I have received a refund of £95.48 shown on my Bank Statement but it is quite clear, now that I have received a feedback request from Autoeurope, that there was some form of clerical error on the part of Autoeurope. Why else would Autoeurope ask for my feedback if I had cancelled? I have been using Autoeurope for nearly 20 years and recommend it to my friends and family. I have always been very happy with the service. But hopefully this was a 'blip' and will never happen again. "

I thought I read everything well, but was still surprises I had to pay Hertz (handling agent for Thrifty) for the booster seat, although later I found out this was correct and I did not pay for the booster seat twice. "
" Everything was perfect, except that it was all handled by Hertz and Hertz uses different waiver tariffs (2.500 instead of 1.500) or thereabout. The message was, you will pay us 2.500 if something happens and then Thrifty will pay you back. This is really bad, because you are standing at the desk with no other viable option and therefore you take the risk you may end up paying 2.500 in case something happens without a contract with Thrifty that allows me to comfortably and with great certainty charge that amount to Thrifty and get it back.

" See my earlier comments about Hertz. As always the Auto Europe booking system worked smoothly and they remain one of my preferred car hire websites. "
" All round satisfactory experience. Reasonably short walk to Hertz desk which had been relocated from the terminal building to the vehicle pick-up point. The only slight inconvenience is that we didn't know about the relocation which meant something of a short detour. Check-in at the desk was quick and the car was just around the corner. The car was the model we requested and had the advantage (for me) of being automatic transmission. It wasn't as new as some hire cars (over 40000k on the clock) and had a few small bodywork blemishes but it drove well enough and met our needs perfectly. Returning the car was quick and painless plus the Hertz desk was very close to security if you'd already checked in as we had. As car hire goes this was painless and streamlined. "

" The price was good and the voucher worked. However, there has been no response at all to our request for help re the way Keddy/Europcar handled the booking and is billing us. Not good customer service. "
" The check in/pick up at Toulouse was very rushed and chaotic with too many customers and not enough staff. They did not have the car we thought we had booked. We were given a larger car without any choice or discussion - basically we were thrown the keys and told to get on with it. There was no explanation of the car's controls/satnav /safety features etc. We struggled to work out how to make the SatNav work in English and it took us time to work out how to operate lights, wipers etc. No help was made available or offered. We couldn't discuss any possible unrecorded damage to the car with staff as they were not available/too busy. We have now had notification of a bill which appears to charge us for an upgrade we at no time asked for or had any choice about. I have asked Auto Europe to look in to this - there has been no response at all. "

" The experience was good although this was a bit of a test to see if in the future we would fly and drive rather than use our own car to to travel in Europe. I think we might just use our own car in the future "
" The first part went well although we were late and tired. At the pickup we were told about some damage on the rear bumper. Since it was late and dark we were given to the following day to report any other damage. The car behaved well although we had some trouble setting up the lights and the lane avoidance was a new thing to us. It certainly improved the driving and signalling skills. The following morning we examined the car and found further damage on the bonnet and reported this. We also noted the inside of the car was not very clean. We were only asked to check for damage so it did not occur to us to look further. The following day we gave the car a clean and noticed the safety equipment (red triangle etc) was not in the car. "

" 2nd bad experience using Autoeurope, first with gold car and now with budget. "
" I phoned autoeurope to explain I was going to be late to collect the car due to missing my flight but would collect the car around 1700 French time. Your agent said this shouldn't be a problem as it would just be a case of holding the vehicle until I arrived but would transfer me through to Budget in Toulouse. I waited on the phone for 1hr with no response!!! Having phoned Autoeurope again and getting a different agent who used a different number I finally got to speak to a budget agent who said that because I was arriving late my booking would be cancelled and basically there was nothing they could do!! I then phoned Autoeurope again and got the first agent I spoke to who couldn't understand why Budget wouldn't hold the vehicle. She very kindly and professionally arranged another vehicle for me at the additional cost of £375.80 and said I should receive £175 back as a refund as Budget would take £110 of my original booking cost of £234.07 (obviously £234.07 - £110.00 = £120.07).

" Please make sure you do your homework, i was caught yet again by the insurance con. Having paid in advance for all the "recommended" additional insurance ahead of time as advised by Auto Europe only to be told by front desk ( Avis) that the insurance is worthless and if i wanted peace of mind i will need to take an additional insurance to avoid 1000 EURO charge / BLOCK ON MY CREDIT CARD. Its time Hire car insurance was regulated. The hire companies make more money out of customers by using scare tactics at the front desk when you are at your most vulnerable especially as you don't have time to arrange alternative insurance. Don't be mislead by the low up front price, i paid more for the insurance that i did for the 10 days hire. "
" Very poor service from the reception desk (David) had to wait nearly 3 hrs to be served. I was told my additional insurance (taken out at time of booking with yourselves) was not enough so had to purchase further insurance to guarantee no excess. This was at an additional cost of € 14 per day for the length of hire. When i complained about the long delay i was told "this is France"!! Car was not ready which meant a further 50min wait. All in all this was a shocking service. "

The whole experience from picking up the keys to picking up and returning the car was very simple and smooth. The car hire car park is easy to find when you return to Toulouse airport. It is well signposted. My only gripe would be that the previous renter had obviously filled the tank up just enough to show full when they returned it. When I returned it, the range estimate was about 100km higher than when I took the car, meaning I paid for 100km of fuel that I did not use. I know this is not Europcar's fault but they could use the range estimate rather than the fuel gauge to ascertain whether the tank has really been filled up. "

" When it comes to Auto Europe, I have neither negative nor positive opinions. A well-functioning website, clear, and simple formalities. Sometimes cheaper than in the other places offers for rent. "
" 70 minutes! Exactly 70 minutes, with a watch in hand, passed from the moment when I lined up a queue to moment when I arranged all the formalities and picked up the keys from the car. Never it has taken me so much time anywhere. I spent 45 minutes at the rental's office desk. For most of these 45 minutes I was alternately persuaded to purchase additional insurance or I was intimidated by the rental's worker different consequences that threaten in the event that I do not buy it and car will be damage. It was terribly unpleasant and intrusive. While I completed all formalities and picked up keys, on the parking it turned out that the car had a large dent above left tire and it is strongly scratched as well. I went to rental point located on the parking. Unfortunatelly, my request to change the car was treated like a whim. Rather unpleasant and unkindly employee explained brusquely to me that the car is fully functional, and the damage only affects the esthetics of the car. What I could say, theoretically, hard to opposite anything his words because the car actually could rode, but ... Summing-up: Already before I have came across many critical opinions about rental in Goldcar. Therefore that's why I was looking for a car to rent in another company. I decided to rental offer by InterRent. I did not know that InterRent and Goldcar are one and the same company. After this experience I will skip both. I feel badly served, neglected and cheated. Nothing was done to take care of my comfort and pleasant atmosphere. The staff of the rental company was surly - especially after my observed about the car damage, and unkindly. The only one thing to which pay attention was paid was the intrusive attempt to sell me additional insurance options and absurd in the price of the possibility returning a car with incomplete fuel tank. I will never use services Goldcar or Interrent again. "

" The InterRent counter staff tried really hard to sell us additional insurances of various kinds and showed us their list of inflated repair prices which, they said, we would need to pay in the event of an accident or breakdown. They also explained that breakdown and roadside assistance were extras. We refused all extras and had a good experience of this car rental although we suspect that it would have felt very different indeed, had we encountered any problems. "

" Hard sell by counter staff when collecting car, in particular using scare tactics to try and pressurise us into signing up for excess insurance (we advised we had our own) and not renting full to full on fuel because we would have trouble locating a garage and to pay Interrent fuel excess was not appreciated. Spoiled what otherwise would have been a reasonable experience. Perhaps the staff earn extra when signing up customer to use Interrent all inclusive / excess insurance. Also pushing us to upgrade to a higher specification car - which we did not need, only to find that they did not have the car category ordered and they upgraded us (for free). Presume the pressure was on to get us to pay for a higher category which they were going to have to supply. "

" Great price, great car, efficient return. However be extremely careful about what you sign when you pick cars up at Toulouse from Interrent. My Autoeurope confirmation clearly stated an excess of €1100 (I have a separate annual insurance for £45/yr to wave this from icarhireinsurance.com which I can't revommend highly enough) but the staff insisted it should be €2000, and that Autoeurope had made a mistake. I asked them to explain where this was written and they showed me a piece of paper which showed the actual costs of repairs to the vehicle which is clearly not the same thing. After a couple of minutes of "discussion" I realised that the lady at the desk was not going to yield, so phoned Autoeurope direct. They agreed with me that the excess was €1100 and that my card would be blocked for €1250 to cover admin fees, as explained in my documents. At this point I asked to speak to the manager who l, having heard the discussion over speakerphone, agreed that I was indeed right. He was unable to explain where the €2000 figure came from. He apologised as begged for a 10 star review. I am not sure if it was a scam or a genuine mistake. However, please read your documents carefully. I hired a car for £55 for 5 days which was almost too good to believe, but if you know what you've signed up for and stick to your guns, Interrent provide an excellent deal which is perfectly legitimate.

" I was charged for damage I know I could not have caused, and given no opportunity to contest it. The car was driven to my property in the countryside, parked off-road, and driven back to the airport - at no point was it left unattended and I did not touch anything with the car. I have a separate hire car insurance policy so am unlikely to be out of pocket, however the sheer frustration of feeling totally taken advantage of, and being utterly powerless to even raise a complaint actually reduced me to tears. The hard sell I received at collection put me on notice that there was already going to be an issue when I returned the car. The check-in girl unbelievably 'noticed' the tiniest of scuffs immediately on my return, on the only panel on the car not to have been marked, for which I was billed an entire bumper respray. This is the first time I have had a problem with Interrent, coincidentally since they were taken over by Goldcar.

" These low prices are not proper comparisons. Interrent/ Goldcar only provide 3rd party insurance, so effectively you are not covered. Other more reputable companies are fully covered with you only liable for the excess. "

If I'd known that Interrent were part of the by now thoroughly disreputed French-owned Europcar budget rental subsidiaries of Goldcar, Rhodium and Keddy (and Interrent), I would NOT have booked that service through Interrent. The well-publicised UK court case in Leicester, UK, which Europcar lost in July 2017, receiving heavy fines, and the well-publicised catalogue of disgruntled client-victims to the appalling industry malpractices by Goldcar and their ilk, noted in several editions of the Sunday Times newspaper (Money Section) in UK in the latter half of 2018, should act as a warning. Do NOT use these companies. You (the client) may be honest, but they are NOT. As I result of my experience, if they choose to charge me for a two inch scuff on two wheel hubs on the driver's side, which were there before I took the car but not marked as damages by them initially, I will contest, because I did not cause them. The car has over 9,000km on the clock and has no damage. Such scuff marks are caused (as the lady in check-in rep exclaimed to kerbside parking. I never parked in a town or against any kerb during my trip. And I do not tell lies. "

" Our initial experience was poor since we specifically chose an offer of a car with GPS included, but were told we have to upgrade and pay an extra E10 per day for a car with GPS on arrival at the airport. We had to go to the original booking website to show that the offer included GPS since this wasn't shown on the confirmation email, before we were told that we could have a car with GPS. Not only would the upgrade have cost us an extra E80, it would also have meant a car that would have been very difficult to park in the hotel car parks. The pick up was good - the car was good (although hadn't been cleaned on the outside). The GPS, however, was annoying because it tried to send us down streets which were only accessible to residents - this caused some stressful moments.

" The car which I had booked was a petrol Peugeot 3008 or similar etc. Unsurprisingly I was told that this car was not available and was offered a diesel Citroen C4 Picasso. They then demanded a supplement of 17.50 Euros which they insisted was a 'diesel tax'. I later found out from reading Interrent's terms and conditions that the 2.50Euro daily charge is not a tax and only applies if a diesel is specifcally requested in advance and reserved. That was not the case and I should not have been charged a supplement when they were unable to provide the type of car booked. I request that this extra charge is refunded accordingly. They also blocked 147 Euros on my credit card for fuel. This is the first time a rental company has sought to do this in addition to the normal caution for damage. As it happens the tank was not quite full when I collected the car but I did not wish to return to the desk and delay our leaving the airport any longer. I returned the car with a completely full tank. They did confirm verbally on return of the car that no further charge was due, but I am concerned about online reports of various retrospective charges being made by Goldcar even when cars were returned with full tanks.

Also, if we had known it was Goldcar, we would not have touched them with a bargepole, as last time we used Goldcar (at Faro) we were scammed for 400€ for pre-existing microscopic damage to the windscreen. (I reported this at the time.) "

" The booking experience through Autoeurope is fine but please see above regarding Firefly. I know this is a budget rental but if a service is offered for that price then that service should be provided. Every time I have used Firefly the collection process is slowed down by either having to wait for staff to arrive or having to request a yellow vest or warning triangle that is missing or query the level of fuel in the car or point out damage that has not been noted on the collection paperwork (necessary as I don't want to take out their expensive additional insurance as I have an annual excess protection policy, which costs the same or less for a year than their insurance does for a week). I also don't really understand why the price of rental differs by such a huge range between the different rental companies, "
" Whilst the hire of the car itself was ok apart from the fuel gauge not working properly and there being no yellow vest in the car ( a legal requirement in France) the collection was a slow process, as on arrival the office was shut and a notice in the door saying that staff were preparing cars and would be back in a maximum of 25 minutes. the consequences were that after an already delayed flight(which I notified Firefly about) we were further delayed at the car hire collection by what seems to be a lack of staff.

" InterRent were fine but they appear to have merged with Gold Car. On 3rd October a warning light on the vehicle indicated low brake fluid and visual inspection revealed it was very low indeed. The car had only done 5-6000 km and as I was in the vicinity called at the rental desk at Toulouse airport to rectify the problem. There I found InterRent had merged with Gold Car. The Gold Car agent was less than helpful and suggested that it was my fault and my responsibility to top up the fluid as required indicating I had used it after only a handful of miles...! I told him that there was obviously a fault or that the car had not been properly checked before rental commenced and that I required a change. He initially refused until I insisted pointing out it was a matter of safety when he sort advice from a higher authority and a change was effected swiftly and efficiently. I've had poor experiences with Gold Car desk agents in the past and I'm sorry to see InterRent merge with them. "

" I will continue with Auto-Europe - of course! I find your prices very good and hassle-free. But I won't be recommending Firefly for the moment. "
" I've used Firefly a number of times in the past and found them helpful and the cars basic (ie. high-milers), but really good value. This time was an altogether different experience, which would make me hesitate using them again. In fact, I have just booked another car through Auto Europe (in Bordeaux), but have instead gone with National. This time it felt like Firefly were trying to trip me up - trying to charge me for filling-up (€77) on my rental agreement (stipulating the car should be returned empty), even though my booking with you showed that I would bring it back full (which I did). To do this I had to leave the receipt for the fuel in the car - even though I needed this for work. When I protested this and said that my contract with Auto Europe stipulated that I was going to bring the car back full, the manager, Antony, said that in that case he'd cancel my booking! When I inspected the car, there was also unreported damage to the car (I have photos). Firefly staff then made me wait for 30 minutes before they came to have a look - this was because they were 'very busy'. At first Antony said there was no damage as the car was 'new' - this was definitely not the case as the mileage showed over 15,000 km on the clock. Then when I showed Antony the damage (scratches and dents) he said these were not damage, despite them being over 2.5cm. He was reluctant to put them on the report and I had to insist. All the time it felt like they were attempting to add extra costs to my rental agreement and it was done in a atmosphere of confrontation. This was really surprising as I've found them to be good in the past. The car was also dirty - this was because it had obviously just been driven up from Spain (it had Spanish plates - I noticed this when I was stopped by French Customs on the Autoroute!). I have reported all this to Firefly. "

" I have used Auto Europe for many years (perhaps 15) and Interrent for several years through AE. However this was not the best experience. I hope that Interrent will take note and ensure that they hand out correct schedules of condition for their cars at the start of rentals. "
" I was told at pick-up that the car had some damage and that we should check the car and take photographs of any damage that was not recorded on the rental agreement. The car had quite a serious dent on the front wing that was not recorded. We did as instructed and took photographs of this dent and the other damage. Upon returning the car (with no damage caused by us) we were told by the attendant that the dent was not recorded on the rental agreement and that we would therefore have to discuss the damage back at the counter inside the airport. This created some stress for us, since we had had a long drive and we had a flight to catch - we did not have the time or energy to start arguing with Interrent about damage that we had not caused. We explained what we had been told when we picked the car up and showed the attendant the photograph that we had taken and he agreed after some further discussion that we had not caused the damage. However we felt that it should have been Interrent's responsibility to issue a correct schedule of condition for the car at the start of the agreement, rather than leaving the onus on us to prove that the damage on the car was already there at the start of the rental period. Of course we would ideally have pointed out the incorrect detailing of the damage to Interrent at the start of the rental, but it is a long walk from the counter to the place where the cars are parked and there were no attendants to talk to in the car - therefore reporting the damage at the start of the rental period would have been a time-consuming operation as it would have involved returning to the counter and (presumably) waiting for Interrent to find somebody who could accompany us to the car.

" As InterRent above - not sure where the issue lies "
" At the time of booking I paid for excess insurance. However, at the Toulouse Airport InterRent counter I was informed that the excess insurance I had purchased would not cover me for minor damage, only for damage caused by a crash or theft. If I wanted zero excess for scratches, broken wing mirrors etc. then I would need to buy additional cover at a cost of €161 for the week. This situation was a surprise to me. Whenever I have purchased excess insurance in the past it has been comprehensive and I could not see any small print on my documentation to suggest that the cover I had purchased via the Auto Europe website was any different. If the excess insurance does not cover minor damage then I think this should be stated at the time of booking and clearly on the voucher. I was also surprised to be asked to pay an additional €35 for breakdown cover for the one-week hire. Is it not usually the car hire company's responsibility to maintain the mechanical soundness of the vehicle? This was a poor way to start my rental experience. I was left wondering if InterRent was trying to hoodwink me into paying additional charges that I did not need to, or if Auto Europe was not being transparent about these charges in order to secure my booking in the first place.

" Horrific experience. Agency tells you to speak to car hire company and vice versa. We weren't able to speak to anyone who was helpful or courteous. "
" This was a nightmare experience. My flight was cancelled by Ryanair on the day I was due to collect the vehicle. I made numerous calls to Europcar and AutoEurope and neither were helpful. was eventually told by Europcar to maintain the booking. As long as someone was there the following day in the morning they would hold the car. My friend already out in France went to Toulouse Airport to info Europcar I would arrive in the evening and she was told they would hold the car for me. When I got there they hadn't held the car and gave it to someone else. The French woman at the desk was incredibly rude and not understanding. We had specifically booked a soft top for a road trip and were being told that it was no longer available. Europcar had my flight number on my booking so much have known my flight was cancelled. They made no attempts to rectify the issue. It was a shambles and absolutely disgraceful the way the whole thing was handled. Won't ever use either company again. "

" I booked a 7 seater with room for 7 suitcases. The voucher stated ford Galaxy or similar. My party of 6 were unable to physically get into the first car I was given, let alone any luggage. The second one was a very uncomfortable squeeze with pull up seats in the boot. No leg room, and no luggage room. If there had been a 7th person in my party we would not have all managed to get in. The car was an x-trail Nissan. I had to pay for a taxi to take the luggage at a cost of 70 Euros each way. The car simply was not as described.

" Main problem was the horrendous queue at airport to pick up car. We had to wait almost 2 hours!! Not fun with a tired 3 year old in tow! No other company's counter had such a long queue or wait. There were 2 members of staff on desk and each rental seemed to take an extremely long time to process. We filled in all the paperwork online in advance and joined hertz gold beforehand, hoping for a quicker pick up. It wasn't clear whether the gold membership meant we could go to the office car park instead and didn't want to risk it in case wasn't possible. Also had to go through all the paperwork again at check on anyway. Not sure if was just Toulouse airport or if this is a universal problem with hertz, but the experience was so awful I'd consider not using hertz again. "

" Goldcar blamed Auto Europe for not informing me about their high charges. "
" There was a long wait at the office. The reservation pprocessor was not polite and interested only in stressing the level of payment in case of a whole series of malfunctions/damage. These were unjustly expensive, especially as he insisted that the full amout would be charged however trivial the incident. The insurance fee was also far too high. Please note that none of these conditions had been brought to my attention before arriving at the desk, had they been the booking would have been cancelled immediately. It is a practice that puts passengers (including, in this case, a 94-year-old) and driver in such a position that the extra insurance cost spoils the holiday. "

" I have 3 negative comments 1. Despite me having Annual Car Rental Cover and paying £10 extra to Auto Europe for 2 days Reimbursement Cover the counter staff insisted they were inadequate and I should pay an extra 46 Euros for their own Interrent extra cover which I declined. 2. I had booked a car from 14:00 on 23/7/2018 but arrived early at 12:13 and was told I could have the car early if I paid an extra 10 Euros which I agreed to as long I could return it at the agreed time of 14:00 on 25/7/2018 but when I checked the contract I had to return it at 12:13 which was very inconvenient. 3. The drop off was very efficient and the Interrent representative said everything was good with the car and the 800 Euros deposit would be returned within a day or two. After 5 days I am still waiting for the 800 Euros charge to be removed from my credit card. "

" See above. And when I came back to the airport to drop the car of the docket I had said go to P2, which I did. There were 4 P2 lanes with no instructions. I went up to a barrier and took a ticket to get in and then found myself forced to go up a ramp into a multi level car park. I got to the 2nd floor and realised I had to come back down again. Thankfully at least the ticket I picked up opened the barrier. So I end up outside heading to the wrong parking area and the only recourse with a plane to catch was to reverse down the out rank in the wrong direction which my wife had run down to stop any cars that might be exiting. Your companies are a disgrace and should have your licence revoked. "
" Don't know how to distinguish Interrent from Auto Europe so you are both totally useless and greedy in my experience. A long queue greeted me at the car hire check in desk. Two staff taking about 45 minutes each to process each customer leaving those of us in the queue very frustrated since we just wanted to get on with our holiday. Your clerk talking to the woman in front of me in French so I can only wonder what on earth is taking so long to check documents hand over some keys. Only when I got to the counter did I find out. In not so good English your man spends 45 minutes trying to put the fear of god into me with persistent attempts to up sell me everything from excess insurance to extra accident cover to other things I did not understand. Excess insurance for about £160! I normally buy online before I go for a fraction of that cost but had this time forgotten. Crazy and incredibly annoying and frustrating and I shall never go anywhere near your two companies ever again. Your just a bunch of greedy up selling bastards with no regard for your customers. "

When we found our car, it was obvious that the car had not been cleaned internally or externally for a long time, which stains on the seats and tar marks all over the vehicle, which we pointed out to the staff. Lastly, when I cleaned the car before returning the vehicle, I noticed that the front tyres were very close to being illegal, due to poor tread. "

One point deducted for 1. above as mass of signs made it difficult to find the correct route in to drop-off, especially when amongst heavy traffic. Also and although not caused by Sixt, the various roadworks around Blagnac and Toulouse made it extremely difficult to find the route to Narbonne - perhaps the car hire companies could produce a leaflet to guide customers to some of the more principal routes as the current signage around Blagnac was abysmal.

" Too much time wasted with a hard sell on upgrade features. I knew what I wanted and the keys were there sitting in an envelope with my name on it and the exact vehicle I requested on line. But you have to go through the rigmorole of asking whether you would like a GPS (no, as there's probably already one built in to the car dash, and there was). Would you like to upgrade your vehicle ? No, I specifically need a Car-van. But an upgrade will be more comfortable. No, I specifically need a car-van. Would you like a petrol version as opposed to diesel ? No, Would you like an automatic instead of a manual? No. Please, please can we get on with it and process the vehicle that you have reserved for me ... you know, the one that is written on that green envelope there with the keys inside and my name on the envelope. Also I wasn't impressed with the fact that Europcar still had my old address on file and were about to process the car hire using that address and not the one that I booked the car with using the broker Holiday Autos. This happened last year and when I inadvertantly picked up a speeding ticket it was sent to my old address and not my current. As a consequence I had to make an additional late payment fine on top of the speeding ticket. I wrote to Europcar immediately after this experience to tell that they ought to book my car out using the home address I made at the time of booking via the broker and not an old address on their system and asked them to upgrade my address details. Hence my exasperation when I arrived at the desk this time only to find that they still had my old address on there ! "

When we pointed this out they insisted on charging us €99 and told us to get it back from AutoEurope, which I felt was poor service. I didn't feel like I had any choice at the time though, so had to pay it. Returning the vehicle at the end of the booking was fine. "

We had a terrible journey already and on top of that we then had no car to get to our destination.

" The pick up was slow and confused, with only one man at the desk. He couldn't find our keys so sent us out to get them from another company's desk in the carpark. We were given a much smaller car than we had booked. We couldn't wait to exchange it as the queue at the desk was extremely long. We were asked to valet the car before we returned it ( or pay to have it done by interrent, which we agreed to do) then when we got to the car it was filthy on the outside. On the plus side Tthe interrent rep that we returned the car to in Toulouse was lovely and very efficient. We had already had a poor experience with interrent on an earlier leg of our journey (the interrent rep in Rome airport damaged the car while she was checking it back in and then tried to blame us for the damage!) so we would never use them again.

" What a shambles Budget were. Ordered a compact automatic - offered a Fiat 500! - were they joking. Forced into an expensive upgrade. In Toulouse you then go to a separate counter to pick up the car - and that is all they supposedly do - the place was busy because they were booking people into without reservations. They were busy and we had to search for staff to show us the car. It was clean inside - but filthy outside. Difficult to find the scratches. Couldn't tell if the alloy wheels were scratched, so dirty. Had to argue to get them to take notice. Then find the car had a 1/4 tank of fuel. More problems getting that checked. "

" Absolutely dreadful. I paid a premium price to Auto europe in order to have ZERO excess . If i hadn't had this option, the hire would have been 50% less. When i arrived at Interrent, i was told that this Zero excess was nothing to do with them and i would still have a 1400 euro excess ....unless i paid another 80 euros !!. Which i had to do. The counter assistant strongly advised me to upgrade the car from a fiat punto to a kia rio for another 40 euros. I declined. Frankly, i wish i had ... the punto was old, battered, horrible to drive with serious vibration at motorway speeds. which ruined our journey. On top of this - i was told i would need to pay another 7 euros to clean the car when it was returned. This car was filthy when we picked it up. Very unhappy "

This obviously wasn't checked before we picked it up. The screen washer fluid was empty. We were advised that we had to produce a receipt of refilling the car 15km from the airport, I have never had this before.

Furthermore, when I was actually seen, I was not even given any form of apology for the length of wait which was disgraceful. I was then given extremely vague instructions by the advisor as to where I had to go to pick up the car, despite querying it with him twice. As a result, I went to the wrong car park.

We were told that the deposit "card swipe" would not be presented to the credit card company and would be destroyed once the car was returned with no damage and a full tank of petrol. I was horrified to find that the money had already been taken from my account. "
" The Auto Europe voucher showed the car rental was with National but did not say that National was operated by Europcar. The Europcar desk in the airport terminal had a sign saying that they were handling National but it was quite small and I had to ask at one of the other car hire desks where National was located. I would suggest that this sort of information should be included on the voucher. Otherwise the car hire experience was first class. "

Only faults were: car had not been cleaned externally and inside could have been better preapred no staff at desk upon return ( not manned until late morning on a Sunday and all National spaces were full. After wasting time driving round the car park, ended up double parking with 4 other cars. "
