" I won't recommend autoeurope to anyone as I was charged a lot of additional money from the car rental company - Dryyve. "
" They did not accept my credit card and forced me to take 49 euro/day insurance for 7 days it was 360 euros and added additional fees for dropping off at 5AM which was like 40 euros. Literally the worst experience I ever had while renting a car. Overall I had to pay 400 euros additional cost on top of the 330 euros for the car hire for 7 days. "

" Got a good price and also picked up phone and helped when i needed information about the pick up. Only not higher due to Dryvve experience. "
" The staff were abrupt when I picked up my car. The first car they gave me was dirty then they arranged a second car that took a long time. Although someone was at the counter they would not check the car until someone else came back (even though noone was waiting). I have still not received my deposit back. "

" At the pick up there was a very long queue and I had to wait more than half an hour. There is nothing to sit down and the temperatures are running high. Also the emotions of the waiting customers. Waiting was outside of the office. They should be more prepared - they know when the cars are picked up.??? "

In ather morning we called in USAVE company and they say that they have no ours reservation in their sistem. And have no free cars! They advise us to order a car from other rental company ourselves and didn't help us anymore. We had a lot of problems because of bad company work.

" Very Bad! If you are claiming to provide best customer service, you can do better than that. Customer service has very limited hours. Than when you reach them you get response that you should read terms and conditions.. Even if you have a proof of cancellation from the Alamo car rental. Can't reach them when you need them. I work as a manager in the hotel and I know what customer service is about.. "
" Placed my order online on the last minute after missing the train because of the delayed flight to Vienna airport. I chose Almamo, because I use them before without any problems. The lady at the desk recommend me to book online that it's cheaper than directly at the desk. After making my reservation I filled all the papers and than I was told that they can't accept my Visa debit card. I've asked for the refund and Alamo told me to call Europe car and ask them to transfer my reservation to different office which accept my card ( Budget, Europe car, Hertz, Buchbinder - where I took the car at the end.) I wasn't able to reach the customer service on Saturday at 7:30 pm. So no HELP from autoeurope. Claiming to provide best customer service. I haven't received any service, but still lost 55 eur. It's not fair and I feel robbed. "

" I want my money back. The rental company did give the car because the photo on license was blurry. It was ridiculous as they were bot at all helpful to tell us what should be done in order to get the car. At one instance the staff shouted at us saying that we wont get the car. Our whole trip was ruined. All the bookings done in various hotels were in loss as we had yo do new booking after we got the car from other supplier half a day later. Went to sixt in the next shop and they accepted granted me the car on the basis of same license. But ofcourse it costed us a fortune as it was booked adhoc. Please let me know how do I get my money back "

The counter staff have taken 257 euro from our credit card without our consent. We have sent an email to your company requesting an immediate refund and will be taking legal action if this is not resolved asap. We were advised there was no problem with the car on return and we had paid in full on booking. "

" Pick up was perfect. Very helpful person. But at drop off the girl tried to say there was damage to the car. I have a photo of what she tried to say was damage which was a half centimetre mark on th black part of the lower front bumper. Something I wouldn't check on pick up and even if I had seen it would consider it wear and tear on any vehicle on the road. Everything other than this was great but it left a bad feeling with the rental with a poor drop off person with poor skills and attitude. "

" i have always recommended autoeurope. however one aspect that i was unhappy with this time and was different to previous occasions...........my flight was brought forward by one hour and even though i was still within my hire period, when i tried to have the pick-up time amended, autoeurope would not allow this and demanded cancelling original contract and taking out a new one at increased cost! madness really. in the end, i let original booking stand but had to wait an hour to collect car you should allow for slight time adjustments if it does not affect the rental period "
" something that was impossible to notice until it was required a few days into hire, was the fact that there was no wiperblade on the rear wiper ! i mentioned this when leaving car off so i trust that i will not be held responsible ! noboody to check car into the garage, but i left car docs in the car and gave keys to counter staff.

" Car rental experience the way it should be, smooth and customer focused. Kudos to the staff at Vienna airport. The only suggestion for improvement, is for Auto Europe to be able to synchronize customer data with Car rental companies in a more efficient manner, so that even less time is spent at the counter. Driver licence, address, credit card details, etc should be readily available, otherwise less information should be required in the online booking, as that will need to be confirmed at the counter anyway. Thanks. "

" The hire car was very good and I had no problems with it at all however MegaDrive charged me 57.30 for an extra driver which I did not use and furthermore my AutoEurope contract provided for 1 extra driver free of charge.

While rental fee was marginally more expensive than other renters, the per diem charge from others for an extra driver was excessive. As I only wanted my spouse as a driver for contingency reasons, Buchbinder represented the best value for money. "

" v very good service and a good quality car "
" Although I am very happy with Auto Europe in general, there are some daily charges that accumulate and make it expensive to hire a car as opposed to taking a train. I usually hire a car for 7 days for a ski trip, and only use the car to get from airport to destination and return. This year I stayed an extra couple of days, and the daily charge for SatNav and new charge for travelling to another country (Germany to Austria) meant it was much cheaper to get train (I hired a car for one day to pick up my kids from Munich Airport, so only had to pay for SatNav and cross border charge for one day as opposed to ten days). "

" Only thing was the long waiting queue to get the car but, overall, EUROPCAR provided good service and car was same as the one we booked. "
" Got an excellent car. Snow chains were available on demand and reasonably priced. "
" The design and layout of the rental desks at Salzburg airport is very poor resulting in a very over crowded situation with queues criss crossing each other and not enough room for people and baggage trolleys. "
" You are only an intermediair. You should have given the oneway return fee in the original offer and not only when the contract has been concluded. "
" Perfect service but oneway return fee is far too expensive in addition to the already too high fee. You and Europcar apply far too high rates ! "
" Only 1 person working when we arrived and there were 8 people both renting and returning in the line. A lot of time wasted. Better if there were 2 people working at the same time. When returning my vehicle the agent took all my documentation including my contract. They did not look at the car and I have nothing in writing to prove that the car was returned in the same condition as when collected. I did ask the agent could I have a receipt but was told that everything is OK, but nothing in writing. "
